What happened:
Forastero wears a camera strapped to his chest to start the match. The way the show the rest of the show went, I expected him to wrestle with it still on. Mephisto unmasked Místico and rolled him up for the win, setting up a singles match next week.
Mascara 2000 betrayed his partners, seemingly because he had to work on a Tuesday. Or maybe because the rudos kept accidentally hitting each other.
The stream started during the first fall of the opener. The second match was delayed because no referee was out there. Edgar ran out in his NJPW track pants to referee.
Thoughts:
None of these matches were really worth watching. The top two were specifically low effort, but the others weren’t much better. The second match guys were working hardest but it didn’t come together well.
Dulce Gardenia played up his gimmick a lot. It was hard to determine if that was to get ready for Japan or if it was just the best option working with Okumura. Dulce did a bit of moves in between, Okumura hardly was involved.
