the battle royal: Why I am uploading the battle royal? Metal Blanco is unstoppable in battle royals!

Euforia, Nosferatu, Pólvora vs Fuego, Molotov, Rey Cometa [MEX TRIOS, #1, QF]: Nosferatu is never ever going to get his Cancerberos card. He was still enjoyable here. He and Euforia did their best to finish off Cometa for good in the spot over there. Molotov seems like he’s getting a bigger opportunity lately, and I only wish he was at least sort of interesting. I don’t have as much problem with Polvora, but it’s so weird how he and Raziel do the same big moves, and the comparison does not benefit Polvora. Whatever happened to Vaquero?

Palacio Negro of the Week

Metal Blanco, Palacio Negro, Sagrado vs Arkángel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Skándalo [MEX TRIOS, #1, QF]: YES. A really good start. Not just for Palacio & Metal, but for this match up. We might see Blanco/Negro vs Tuareg a few more times. This wasn’t as big a showcase as the next match, but they’re building.

Metal Blanco, Palacio Negro, Sagrado vs Euforia, Nosferatu, Pólvora [MEX TRIOS, #1, SF]: Also, YES. I don’t have much to say about the match, because you should go ahead and watch it and you don’t need me for that. I just want to marvel at the beautiful asymmetry taking place. Sagrado will forever be the guy set up to be a fantastic new tecnico, but totally fell apart during his introductory match. Now he’s the guy teaming with the fantastic new tecnicos of 2011 and was the one making sure it didn’t come together. You never get a second chance at a first time, but this was a neat consultation prize.
