Dark Angel, Lluvia, Luna Mágica vs Amapola, Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sujei: We don’t get to see enough, but Dark Angel is still cool. I hope her reappearance on the anniversary is the start of fun things, but I always hope this and then that doesn’t happen. At least she’s not paying for a ticket this year.
Ángel de Oro, Diamante, Rush vs Cancerbero, Raziel, Virus: You know, I think Rush is going to make it. I believe Rush is going to be an actual star, not just a Leono-like propped up guy.
I’m just as sure it won’t be as a tecnico. Rush seems arrogant, reckless, and self-centered. He may not actually be those things, but that’s the vibe he gives off. Rush is clearly intended to be different than the energetic high flying masked tecnicos, but he’s so far different, he ought to be hanging out with Terrible & Texano. The booking is actually helping this along in some places; if the fans weren’t already going to cheer for Loco Max due to the typical “guy who earned it versus guy who’s been handed it” dynamic, Rush beating up a tall mini was going to get that crowd against him by itself.
Maybe he’ll someday be a popular tecnico, but I think it’ll only be after winning the crowd over as a rudo.
