Leono, Molotov, Starman vs Dr. X, Durango Kid, Nitro: A match! A Tuareg mask feud that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. I hope Dr. X didn’t talk his way out of a mask feud, that’d be sort of sad. Also, I think the point of going only two falls is so there’s more time for the rest of the show, but it doesn’t actually work if these matches still go the same 13 minutes.
Ángel de Oro, Diamante, Rush vs Metal Blanco, Palacio Negro, Sagrado [MEX TRIOS, #1, final]: Fantastic! My new theory is CMLL has those in rookie vs rookie matches (this one, the similar AC Tag final) do a few practice runs before hand, because it’s too much to ask them to risk them putting it all together in one try. These do feel a little rehearsed, but everyone has an idea of where they’re supposed to be going. Stuka & Metro are veteran enough to let them to work it out in the ring, and it actually works out worse.
The Rush/Sagrado stuff at the end was great and it’s disappointing we didn’t at least get a lightning match out of it.
