CMLL on CadenaTres: 2015-04-25

this doesn’t seem like the best of ideas, but it works for him

recap

taped 2015-04-21 @ Arena México

needed a gif, this was a gif

Acero & Fantasy vs Pequeño Nitro & Pequeño Universo 2000: [below average] Pequeño Universo’s main role in this job appears to be showing up so they have even numbers for matches. He’s fufilling that obligation and not a lot more. Same thing for this match, which was not much. Third fall was a series of random near falls, as if to prove that random near falls can’t make a match interesting.

Raziel & Cancebrero teamwork

Flyer, Leono, Metatrón vs Cancerbero, Metálico, Raziel: [below average] so bored by the técnico offense that I zoned out by the time the rudos did stuff mildly interesting. Though some of that interesting was just not selling Flyer’s handspring back elbow for no obvious reason This got fifteen minutes for reasons I’m not clear on, and had the same third fall of finish, break up, another finish, repeat until everyone just gives up. I’m not sure I know what Metatron’s finisher is, and he’s had so many TV matches. So many matches.

Metatron struggles

 

not quite at the speed this needs to be, but still amusing

Goya Kong, La Vaquerita, Princesa Sugehit vs Amapola, La Seductora, Narumiya: [ok] straight falls, hooray. They still worked eleven minutes but it seemed briefer than that and Goya at least work up the crowd. Mostly inoffense stuff, so it’s the best match so far but nothing needed to be seen or that make next week seem much exciting. There’s something hilarious about skinny Narumiya attacking Goya Kong with a legdrop.

Niebla toped

Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Marco Corleone vs Mr. Niebla, Rey Bucanero, Terrible: [ok] mostly a generic Tuesday match but that again makes it better than most the matches here. Niebla slaps well, Maya and Delta take slaps well, it’s a magical combination. Marco looked cool flying to the other two. This was brief, which was nice.

Marco plancha to the outside

 

caveman angry

Atlantis, Blue Panther, Stuka Jr. vs Bárbaro Cavernario, Negro Casas, Shocker: [ok] Suitable main event, though again nothing you need to go out of your way to see. They did have different match up than usual. Panther/Cavernario was fun while it lasted. Stuka/Shocker was just there. Casas/Atlantis generally took the night off before the finish. Finish doesn’t make any sense given where they’re going but it’s CMLL and Tuesday so it doesn’t really matter.

Bala always uses his head

Hombre Bala Jr. vs Disturbio : [good] get on the Hombre Bala Jr. bandwagon before all the seats fill up. I wouldn’t call this a must see peformance or anything, but the first singles match for him in a while showed him to be a very entertaining wrestler who’s father along than it seems in low midcard trios. Both he and Disturbio worked hard to have an exciting match. It was much different than Fuego/Virus; these two didn’t do much mat work (which probably wouldn’t have worked well with these guys) but went for big moves early and often. It got a bit my move/your move by the end, but they both have varied offense and it was a rare chance to see it, so it felt a little fresher. Bala’s weird double knee dive to the floor was amusing; he cares for his knees even less than he cares for his head.

no escaping Hombre Bala
Bala’s spent a lot of time thinking about his finishing sequence
