What happened:
NGD fouled Gran Guerrero, which wasn’t seen. Ultimo Guerrero unmasked NGD, which was seen.
Templario challenged Volador to a title match.
Okumura blatantly fouled Stigma. There was no obvious reason why that was otherwise a Relevos Increibles match.
Thoughts:
The final trios match of the night had the best action of the show, though it didn’t transcend from usual trios match into something special. Templario and Volador didn’t have perfect chemistry but Templario did react differently to Volador than most of the people he faces and it’ll at least be a different match. A rudo actually beat a tecnico cleanly in deciding fall to build up a match, a finish I’m not sure CMLL was aware they could still do. Shocker takes headscissors is rough for everyone.
Astro moves so much faster and impressively than anyone else in his match that I started looking at the difference for a Tlaxcala resident in between traveling to Puebla to Mexico City. Astro’s got to think about adding 45 minutes each way because he shows too much promise to train in Arena Puebla hoping for a chance in the next decade.
