taped 2012-04-01 @ Lienzo Charro de Pachuca, Hidalgo
Dinastía & Octagoncito vs Mini Histeria & Mini Psicosis: I liked the previous minis matches better – not really for anything the técnicos did wrong (they were really good, minus one moonsault) but the rudos seemed better in those. It’d be interesting to see what Dinasita could to with slightly faster rudos; the best creative reason for a CMLL vs AAA is you’d get one great combination for a minis match if you picked the right sides. (Dorada/Octagoncito/Dinastia vs Demus/Pierrothito/Violencia?) I guess it’s nice the champion actually wins one of these matches every so often.
Drago, Fenix, Joe Lider vs Dark Dragon, Decnnis, Octagón: Good match! I could’ve gone for more of it, but they mad the most of the nine minutes. Octagon didn’t feel like a detraction; he wasn’t a high point, but he fit in fine with all the big spots the other guys were doing. Octagon vs La Parka is frightful but this was fine.
Chessman, Silver King, Último Gladiador vs Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Texano Jr., Toscano: Good match between two rudo teams. Ultimo Gladiador was the unlikely week link but everyone else was fine or Mascara Año 2000. If these guys are going to be taken as real, they probably need to win clean, or at least come close to winning clean, or at least not have the entire other team be on the verge of beating them until their manager finally arrives, but it was enjoyable as match in itself.
Cibernético, El Mesías, Zorro vs Halloween, Héctor Garza, Nicho el Millionario: I negelected to write anything for this match, but seem to recall it as a lot of rudos bumping around to make the tecnicos look good and then a non finish. Mesias didn’t stick out as hurting before the injury angle, and that seemed more like a title match set up than the beginning of an extended abscene.
