recap

taped 2012-08-10 @ Arena Mexico

don’t try this at home, or anywhere else

Dark Angel, Goya Kong, Luna Mágica vs Lady Apache, Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sugheit : too long of a match for this crew, which isn’t very interesting outside of the Lady Apache/Dark Angel feud. It seems like they’ve dropped the new tag rules for the women; Maya was still counting when the rudas were double teaming, but he wasn’t stopping them from doing it and he didn’t have a problem when multiple people were covering at the same time. Can’t really change these things if you’re going to be inconsistent with the changes.

 

Dragon Rojo does what every tecnico should’ve done for years

Atlantis, La Máscara, Mistico vs Dragón Rojo Jr., Euforia, Último Guerrero : I about lost it when UG’s invincible “sit on the middle rope and wait for the técnico to climb up to be hit” bit was overcome by Místico. Of course it was. Of course Místico is captain. That is what is going on. Místico did some incredible things, but if this is going to be the show of women’s trios and Místico, The Greatest Wrestler Ever, this is not going to be my favorite show. Just like last week’s match, Guerreros get along perfectly fine until it’s time for them to lose the match.
