recap

Super Halcon Jr. vs Puma King in a lightning match: Halcón tried to rise to opportunity, breaking out new offense and his best looking gear. The outfit looked better than the kicks. Puma King remains good, and maybe still the best member of the tag team. He must really regret not having a T name.

 

luchadors as a Chinese finger trap

Dark Angel, Estrellita, Goya Kong vs Amapola, Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sugheit: Another okay trios match. Estrellita fits in much better in this format than she does in the singles matches. Everyone was at their usual level. They gave this a lot more time than they usually give this level match on this show. CMLL’s really trying to get Estrellita over with the crowd, I have no feel if it’s taking. I do feel like I’ve seen this build up long enough.

 

Mr. Niebla

Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas vs Blue Panther, Guerrero Maya Jr., Máscara Dorada: shorter version of the same match they’ve been doing. The Negro/Panther stuff is still on the same level, but they didn’t get enough of it. Guerrero Maya didn’t stick out as a sub, always a good sign.
