A few quick (since this horse has been beaten to death a few times) thoughts on the last CMLL show.
Shocker/Ultimo was another fine entry in their series. I imagine they’d definitely have the #1 and #2 slots in the CMLL 25 if we ever did that again (and probably not, since we’re lagging 4 months behind in TV).
Best moment of the whole week was Ricky kicking out of the ‘Bido Buster (sorry, it just jumped in my head–I am of course referring to the Fisherman Buster). Zumbio pinned Ricky several times in the weeks leading up to the show with the same move, so when young Marvin kicked out it elicited a huge pop. Wrestling in the easiest thing in the world to book when you do it right.
And man, Ricky wasn’t afraid to kill himself in that match, no?
Maybe the biggest surprise was how much I enjoyed the Gram Markus/Violencia match. Okay, maybe “enjoyed” is pushing it, but it didn’t suck, and that’s huge in and of itself.
