moonsaults for everyone

Sangre Azteca vs Raziel in a lightning match: Nothing much too it. Fine, unremarkable so (except if you know Raziel’s finisher enough to notice Sangre kicked out of it, so really exciting for both of us.) This aired because they had time to fill, I guess.

 

Mascara Dorada, ups and downs

Black Warrior, Hijo del Fantasma, Sagrado vs Pólvora, Rey Escorpion, Vangelis: Third fall was a lot of broken pins spots for a long time, and felt like it went too long. Warrior seemed off in the third fall – maybe his laying on the mat wasn’t selling the finish, but a reaction to something that happened earlier? Warrior and Escorpion has promise as a rivalry but it didn’t feel that great here.

Diamante Azul, Máscara Dorada, Rush vs Rey Bucanero, Terrible, Tiger: Entertaining for the time. Rush keeps doing more rudo bits – pulling someone up and shoving the ref are not the acts of a técnico. Everyone else didn’t get to do as much because of the time, which may have been why things were mostly smooth for Diamante Azul.
