recap

Stumbling randomly counts as heading in a direction.

Blue Panther vs Felino in a lightning match: Good lightning match. Felino’s a rare one who actually is concerned with the time! They timed it well enough that they got to build towards the finish before doing it, which also isn’t ususal. The fake tap bit was a bit confusing.

mockery
Ángel de Oro, Héctor Garza, Shocker vs Rey Bucanero, Terrible, Texano: Kind of just an ordinary trios match. There were some nice bits – like Bucanero attacking Angel de Oro early, building up the pinfall later – but it didn’t feel like a notable main event. Interesting how TV built up Rey Bucanero vs Felino to the exclusion of the post-match promos here; I wonder how many different plans have been floated.
