recap

The two setup matches aren’t as interesting as the one random match, but that was almost interesting for the wrong reasons.

 

lightning > hawk

Hombre Bala Jr., Sensei, Super Halcon Jr. vs Inquisidor, Rayo Tapatío I, Rayo Tapatío II: Another match solely concerned with building the rivalry and not in being interesting in itself. The better matches in this feud were much earlier. Shouldn’t Hawks and Bullet(Men) be natural enemies?

 

aaaaaaaah

Negro Casas, Pólvora, Volador Jr. vs Dragon Lee, La Máscara, Valiente: This match had it’s highs and lows! Dragon Lee looked great at the end of the second fall and with Negro Casas, then got screwed up in the third. Valiente looks super in the third fall and then just missed his dive enough to almost seriously injury himself. Volador got the big win and the crowd didn’t react, because they were too concerned with Valiente to notice. Valiente’s rarely messed up his dive before, but he always seems to take control of his fall when it’s gone wrong – grabbing a rope or turning his body or whatever. It probably saved him this time. Dragon Lee doing the karate spots as a regular bit would definitely help him stick out a bit more.

 

lucha physics!

#1 Contenders Heavyweight Cibernetico: fine for a Cibernético. A little rushed, but then maybe a little clipped. Still a kind of pointless match without a winner, but that’s CMLL.
