Park vs Santo match expanded to give all old wrestlers a payday

(superluchas)

It’s a sixteen man tournament on 12/08 loser advance style.
– Hijo del Santo
– Mil Mascaras
– Blue Demon Jr.
– LA Park
– Rayo de Jalisco Jr.
– Canek, if he’s healthy by then, or TBA
– Dos Caras Sr.
– Super Muenco
– Lizmark Sr.
– Mascara Sagrada
– Fishman Jr.
– Angel Blanco Jr.
– Solar I
– Rayman
– Hijo de Solitario
– Hijo de Anibal

Seriously, would they draw any worse if they had just the top 8 guys? the top 4 (or the top 3 and whomever is losing)? Congrats to Hijo de Solitario for getting a pay day, but why? Theoretically, all these guys would/should be banned from CMLL for working on a Santo show and we’ll see if that happens.

In the video, LA Park is all “wait, what happened to the singles match?” He’s supposed to be the rudo, but I don’t see how.

Guys with high chances of losing include Lizmark Sr., Fishman Jr. (who may not hold rights to use that name) and Blue Demon Jr., I guess. Really, you know Santo, Mil, Rayo, Canek and Dos Caras aren’t losing, because they’re either never losing or holding out for a bigger match. I think they wouldn’t waste their time getting 14 other guys if it was just going to be Santo and Park in the end, so he’s safe too. Everyone else is a possibility if the money’s right.

If this had been presented as “Santo’s annivesary show, featuring 16 wrestlers with their masks on the line, and lots of teasing towards Park/Santo”, I might have gotten into it. Getting Santo vs Park direct hype as bait into this switch kills all my interest for this show. Way to promise big and deliver small.

  1. No Pentagon Black that’s interesting.

    This is total OCESA Ruleta right here and just like that one Santo will last to the end teaming with someone then taking his mask in the last match.

    I’m thinking Solar I drops the hood here.

  2. I’m thinking Santo/Parka/Pentagon/Wagner ruined a great payday by taking advantage of a money mark to get 12 other guys booked on a show that won’t draw now that everyone can see the screwjob coming at the end.

  3. What I’m hoping for is some just fucking oddball undercard matches like the old OCESA shows.

    FABULOUSO BLONDY!
