What did I say?
By the way, there’s very little chance SuperLucha’s expected Dos Leyendas card (including these trios titles against the other trios titles in unification match) coming thru. Even the welterweight title match tease is unlikely, or more likely another day – that’s the usual method of CMLL chain yanking.
Yea, I don’t know what I’m talking about. Point for SuperLuchas.
On the actual card:
– I’m not really sure they did it wrong, but – CMLL’s spent the period before the mask match and the period since the mask match pushing Blue Panther much harder than Villano V. Yet, six months down the line, Panther’s in a random segunda and V5 is headlining the show.
– If CMLL believed Ultimo Guerrero vs Villano V would sell out, they wouldn’t have Negro Casas & Mistico on the same show. Probably no coincidence that feud showed up just as they went away from the tag main event.
– Even if it’s a not a title match – and it’s not listed as such, perhaps because at least one of those teams will have a title defense before then – why put a meaningless trios match ahead of it on the card? Matches 2 and 4 are just about getting guys a slice of the payday. So is the champion vs champion match, unless they plan on following it up, but they could at least protect it as meaningful a little better.
– Happy for the minis to make it on here. That should be good, and a few other matches could be, if that’s what they’re looking for. I don’t know that they put together a card of excellent matches but for the general fans who just want to see the stars, they look to be giving enough. Tickets don’t go on sale until tomorrow, and hopefully they go fast enough that CMLL feels safe putitng his on PPV.
