Lucha Libre USA: Masked Warriors #4 (08/06/2010)

taped Hippodrome, Springfield, MA, 06/19/2010

lost count of the spins

I love this show for bringing back the back the wacky lucha vignette. CMLL no longer gives you Shocker & Mascara Magica evaluating wacky candidates for the Guapos, but real life info on the people. (Except for Peste Negra, which is part of why that works.) AAA feels like it’s been in a life or death struggle for control of the promotion for multiple lifetimes. The only time you get funny backstage skits is on accident. Lucha Libre USA gives me minis playing poker and Tinieblas meetings of evil, and it’s great. Please keep it up!

Trios was a fun crazy go nuts match, the match you really get on US TV elsewhere. notAeroForm looked great, Dorada was good, Halloween was good, Neutronic held up his end, but Saber Claw was the surprise. Flashmagic figured out he’s a friend of Magno’s (and better than Incognito, based on this match) and I hope he gets to stick around. But, yea, PR Flyer & San Juan Kid stole this one, and this show.

Other matches didn’t do a lot much for me. They told the story they wanted to in the main event, but it wasn’t much of a match. Not really interested in RJ Brewer, and his gimmick is already not to be interesting, so it’s all up to Magno to carry it…and I’m not sure that’s the spot for Magno.

  1. i knew you @luchablog and others whould not care for the brewer and magno feud after a couple shows i love they way LLUSA working with the talent thay have not a big roster but talented Oh by the way Dorada and Neutronic made wrestle pro top ten wrestlers of the month Neutronic miss the top 10 by 3 votes dorada is starting to get very popular with american fans quickly

  2. I think professional wrestling TV around the world would benefit from more scenes of minis playing poker.
