how does the table bend?

recap

taped 2015-01-30 @ Gimnasio Agustín Millán, Toluca, Estado de México

Belial topes thru Hamburguesa

Gotita de Plata, Niño Hamburguesa, Súper Nova vs Apache, Belial, Mamba: [good] Enjoyable opener with the newer guys working well off the more established characters. Belial’s tope onto Niño Hamburguesa looked great and he fit in better on the rudo side than I would’ve guessed. Gotita de Plata remains very skilled – his Brillo variation was amazing. Nova had less to do but looked more polished. Niño appeared to spend the off season adding weight but he looked fine in what he did.

Chessman smiles!

Angélico & Jack Evans vs Averno & Chessman: [good] Much better than last time out, a real match that got some time for both teams to do their things. Averno is the most professional luchador of all time for taking the crucifix powerbomb and falling in perfect position for the 630 senton (which didn’t actually hit him, but OK.) Averno & Chessman are feeling like a tag team now and played off Jack & Angelico well. These two teams probably have an even better match in them if they need it, but this was strong for a random TV matchup. It would’ve been nice if Jack & Angelico were able to celebrate their win, or even just get long enough to stand up before Cibernético ran in for the win canceling beatdown. Toluca crowd was all into to the act.

Hell Brothers wackiness

 

Parka Negra is Jeff Jarrett??

La Parka vs El Mesías, Cibernético, Parka Negra in a AAA’s Rey de Reyes Tournament semifinal match: [OK] About what you’d expect. Crowd was way into Parka and the match kind of stopped for about two minutes after he was eliminated. (Mesías had a plan to do a big superplex to bring them back into it, but it didn’t quite take and he and Negra laid there while Parka was slowly dragged to the back.) This Parka Negra is goofy and more willing to do big moves than Zorro Negra, but the character is too cold. Mesías & Negra tried to do a usual Mesías epic finishing minutes, but it was hard to take seriously. Toluca crowd was generous to get into it.

Joe Lider checks if Parka’s boots will fit him
