CMLL Guerreros del Ring on 52MX: 2014-03-29

recap

taped 2014-03-18 @ Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
Gallo, Leo, Starman vs Camorra, Sádico, Shigeo Okumura: Sadico, as lesser Guadalajara Eterno, was more interesting than Leo in the battle of random Guadalajara youngsters. I couldn’t tell why the Camorra/Leo feud was happening based on the results and I’m even less sure watching the matches. Referee had no idea what Okumura was doing at the end; neither did I.

Maximo tope

aped 2014-03-23 @ Arena Coliseo
La Sombra, Super Porky, Valiente vs Felino, Olímpico, Ripper: Lots of Super Porky comedy, not a lot of much else. Sombra seemed to exert more energy reacting to things from the apron than actually wrestling for portions of this match. Ripper lost by failed bodyslam, is supposed to be someone on Volador’s level. Olímpico is still so upset about Sombra unmasking him that as soon as they got in together in the third fall, Olímpico just went to pose. That unmasking was just a thing that happened, much like this match.

 

Scorpion King treated rudely

Diamante Azul, Marco Corleone, Máximo vs Averno, Pólvora, Rey Escorpión: Straight build up to a hair match which may eventually be happening. Escorpion & Máximo feuding left two of the smaller rudos fighting two of the taller técnicos, not a great mix for action for the first two falls. It got better in the third fall and was probably the best match on the show, but it was not a memorable show.
