CMLL Guerreros del Ring on 52MX: 2013-06-01

recap

taped 2013-05-26 @ Arena Coliseo

Demus is the best.

Eléctrico vs Shockercito, Bam Bam, Aéreo, Fantasy, Demus 3:16, Pequeño Violencia, Mercurio, Pequeño Nitro, Pequeño Warrior in a cibernetico match: Really good minis match with a lot of guys having very good moments. There was a trivia question about Bam Bam vs Demus matches, and Bam Bam looked a lot like the guy who had those apuesta matches in this match. His dive at the end was humongous. It did have the usual worn tropes of CMLL ciberneticos, like the double elimination spot, but the stuff they did in between the eliminations was all solid. There were a couple stumbles (like the whole Violencia/Eléctrico bit leading to his elimination) but this was one of the strongest minis matches in CMLL in some time. I think it was even a little better live, because the replays weren’t covering up more action.

 

like old times

Máscara Dorada, Mistico, Valiente vs Averno, Felino, Negro Casas: Good trios main event. Negro and Felino were not fooling around in this match, so it worked. The non-Dorada/Negro stuff was largely formula match but the formula worked out well. A little shorter than usual and existing just as a set up to next week’s match but still a good showing for the new técnico trio.
