CMLL Guerreros del Ring on 52MX #253 (09/25/2010)

Arena Coliseo, 09/19/2010

Metálico, Molotov, Sensei vs Durango Kid, Escorpion, Inquisidor: Escorpion was the best rudo here, which probably isn’t as surprising as I thought. He still feels a bit more like an AAA guy – reacting to what the tecnico just did instead of just clearing out for the next rudo to take offense – but different is good. If I was booking CMLL, we’d have a Durango Kid vs Sensei martial arts death feud, so be thankful I’m not.

Mascarita Dorada, Shockercito, Último Dragoncito vs Pequeño Black Warrior, Pequeño Nitro, Pierrothito: Really good, exactly what you’d expect from these guys. We learned that Dorada does not need to pants to beat you, but Warrior is better off without a skirt. There really can not be enough minis matches, given how many good guys they have. How would that same chart I did for the women look like for the minis?

Nine guys above the “really good” line means there’s always going to be someone fun in a minis match and probably a few.

Olimpico’s turn makes sense in this context. They’re really tecnico heavy, even with Tzuki and Mini Maximo not in the ring a lot. Still would’ve prefered them to fix the problem by stealing Mini Halloween and Mr. Aguilita back. Not just because they’re fun, but that rudo side is old. They can still go, but at some point they won’t be able to and now’s a good time to add some younger people. Pequeno Nitro seems to be coming along fine, he just needs a few partners.

Also, it’s freaky how long Fantasy has been around given he’s only 21. The guy still has a lot of time.
