CMLL Guerreros del Ring on 52MX: 2013-09-07

recap

taped 2013-08-30 @ Arena Mexico

I thought this was really bad on TV, but does not look as badly timed in GIF form

Dallys la Caribeña, Goya Kong, Marcela vs Amapola, La Seductora, Princesa Blanca: A match that was ‘only’ two falls, but still went a usual 13 minutes and felt like it. The slow breakup trios matches are usually not very fun and even more so with the women. An early version of the same match they would have for weeks. Dallys looked really slow and had no timing in this match; I don’t know that she’s going to be much better as a ruda. Seductora was treated as a competent luchadora during this match, which might be a first.

 

springboard from the post to the buckle to a headscissors

Blue Panther, Máscara Dorada, Mistico vs Averno, Pólvora, Rey Escorpión: Good setup match to both matches. Panther and Averno continued doing what they’ve done in the build up. Estetas got to look spectacular but the Revolucionarios still cleanly beat them in the end. This didn’t actually work as a setup match to that title match because they cut out anything that would establish they were setting up the trios title match (no post match promo), but if you knew it was happening it was good. Dorada has no end of crazy spots.

 

great double team

Marco Corleone, Máximo, Rush vs Felino, Negro Casas, Volador Jr.: A couple of minutes of Negro and Rush fighting in the midst of a usual Bufete del Amor versus Peste Negra match. There were some nice spots at the end of the falls but the match itself was not memorable. It was fine but bigger stuff is to come.

Negro Casas destroyed
