CMLL Guerreros del Ring on 52MX: 2014-10-11

recap

taped 2014-09-30 @ Arena Coliseo Guadalajara

that’s Malefico being crushed

Maléfico © vs Rey Cometa for the Occidente Light Heavyweight Championship: [OK] Very much a match where the moves of 2011 are done as a substitute for actual drama. No one bought the Destoryer as a finish. The Brillo Cometa was great but came across as just another spot in a match rather than a culmination of action. The first two falls were very minimalist. Rey Cometa continuing to wear his headband despite no longer having hair is admirable/weird.

Brillo Cometa
no, that’s not going work

Black Panther, Cachorro, Máximo vs Kráneo, Mr. Águila, Olímpico: [OK] Didn’t feel totally like an ordinary match only because some of these guys aren’t around much, but not a lot stood out. I’m not sure what went wrong at the end of the second fall, but everyone seemed to be in everyone else’s way. Kraneo’s a generous soul to go over for Maximo’s horrible scissors in the third fall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

reach advantage: VOLADOR

Diamante Azul, Valiente, Volador Jr. vs Rey Bucanero, Shocker, Terrible: [OK] Another unmemorable match with a finish that didn’t really encourage me to watch the rematch next week. Bucanero was doing better with Volador than Shocker was, but that’s not the match we’re getting. Shocker pulling Volador’s hair in a submission seems vaguely illegal but no one cared. This match was low on Valiente. Terrible did the best he could with Azul, but this overall felt like they were doing an easy match in front of a small crowd.
