Escorpion vs Rey Cometa: Links go to the CMLL Official ones because that seems the way to go. Most action in the smallest amount of time. They packed a lot in a short match, and it still felt like they could’ve added another five on top of a normal speed match. Really hope they give this match another chance sometime down the road.
Ángel de Oro vs Palacio Negro Ultimo Guerrero got the great group. This was a battle all the way to the end. Friday night crowds have been harder on these matches (as they are on all young guys any one who ever messes up), but these two got them into this match. Great back and forth action, feeling like anything could be the finish near the end. Most exciting match I’ve seen so far in this.
Héctor Garza, Hirooki Goto, Volador Jr. vs Atlantis, Dragón Rojo Jr., Último Guerrero: finish didn’t come off well and Goto seems more like a cunning challenger than one that’s puts UG in as much danger as they’re pretending. (Maybe that’s because we really haven’t seen him much before this.) Next week’s match may be good but this really wasn’t
Blue Panther, La Máscara, La Sombra vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto: pretty good usual match between the two teams. It feels like they’re going someplace with Mascara and Averno, maybe even some place big, but they’ve lost those direction before.
