CMLL FSE #49, taped 07/08/07, aired US 08/05/07
The main event wasn’t as bad as I thought it wasn’t going to be. It wasn’t great either, and suffered from Universo being unwilling or unable to take Dos Jr.’s big moves. You think they would’ve worked that out either before this match, or perhaps in the last two matches where Universo wouldn’t take the German either.
Anyway, I was saying this match wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t much either. The fans popped for the title change, which was kind of them, but it wasn’t an especially meaningful feud or meaningful title. Maybe Dos can make it into to something, but I’ve lost most faith in his development into a good worker and it’s not like there are going to be feuds to build it’s importance. (Though I hope Misterioso does get his shot.) It’s a novelty match, the inverse of the minis.
Eclipse needs to never do a standing moonsault again, for so many reasons. It’s tough to be too down on Dos after seeing him.
Do you think when Leono and Tony Rivera team up, all Leono can think is “oh no… that’s me in 10 years!” ?
Leono doesn’t seem like the type who’d figure it out, but I’m sure Tony’s seeing himself ten years ago.
Well, Tony Rivera was facing Ultimo Guerrero and Rey Bucanero 10 years back (more like 9, actually), so maybe, thinking positively, Okumura and Eclipse will eventually turn into superstars…
