(8:30 [4:48, 3:42], 1/2 DQ, ok, 01:44:26)
What happened:
Euforia unmasked Caristico in the second fall of the main event for the DQ.
Kawato San and Dulce Gardenia feuded in their match.
Principe Diamante pulled off Espiritu Negro’s mask as Espiritu fouled Diamante for the double DQ. Mask match challenges followed.
Thoughts:
The main event as the usual “send everyone home happy idea”, though with the oddity of the tecnico offense generally coming in the first fall rather than the end. They seemed to need for the finish, though it wasn’t clear it mattered.
Kawato/Dulce had good if not yet great chemistry. It might work out well. Tecnicos shows the most of anyone in the third fall. The finish was a nice playoff the usual spots. Not memorable but better than most stuff on this show.
Bodybuilding prep left Principe Diamante unable to do all that much, or at least that’s the way it came off. Espiritu Negro continues to look the best he ever has in CMLL, laying in his shots better than before, pulling off a cool dive, and generally showing more aggression. He didn’t have much to work with here.
Halcon Suriano pulled off a couple of impressive armdrags with Hijo del Signo, amazing given what he was working with there. Sonic and Suriano appear interested in doing stuff as a team, which would be more fun matches than the second match turned out to be. It felt heavily rudo dominated for a not great crew of rudos.
