recap

Ray’s debut is the notable bright light in a usual card.

innovation (maybe)

Bengala & Trueno vs Camorra & Zayco: Perfectly fine professional opener match. We talk about the Gen11 técnicos not looking ready for primetime, but it also stuck out here that Zayco & Camorra look more solid than a Bobby Zavala at this point and seem nowhere close to getting the same chance.

weird lucha hold of the day

Goya Kong, Marcela, Ray vs Amapola, La Seductora, Mima Shimoda: Good match. Ray looked good in her debut. More notable was Mima looking much more aggressive and forceful when working against Ray than at any time I can recall her in Mexico. Even Seductora seems to be improving in terms of personality and skills; this was an all positive match.

Metal Blanco

Ángel de Plata, Metal Blanco, Palacio Negro vs Cancerbero, Nosferatu, Raziel:a good showcase for the usual guys. There’s been better ones than this with better guys than Nosferatu involved, but there was not a lot wrong with this.

Blue Panther

Blue Panther, Super Porky, Toscano vs Ephesto, Euforia, Vangelis: That rudos side was a semimain! Huh. Paint by numbers except for the Panther mat work

Atlantis, Hijo del Fantasma, La Máscara vs Mr. Niebla, Último Guerrero, Volador Jr.: perfunctory, borderline fraudulent main event match. They didn’t go five minutes.
