weird submission of the week

taped @ Arena Mexico, 04/01/2011

recap: here

Höruz & Robin vs Bronco & Cholo: Robin and Bronco were so great together to start the match, I ran to the match finder to figure out how many times they’d worked together to get good. Turns out, this was only their second match. Huh. This was by far the best Bronco’s been at being the big man facing the small somewhat scared small man. Disappointing the match more or less ended after Cholo’s injury (and sad Cholo got hurt.) Bronco probably should’ve gotten to do something a bit more destructive than run Robin into a ring post to draw DQ, but maybe they’ll figure that out next time and Robin did a fantastic job of being concussed the rest of the way. Horuz…had new gear. (And didn’t get to much here.)

Metálico, Starman, Tigre Blanco vs Dr. X, Hooligan, Nitro: I wonder if these guys were thrilled that they got to work with exclusively with each other, instead of random kids? This was a very strong effort from a group of guys who are totally stuck in their positions anyway. The Metalico/Blanco stereo Asai moonsault was really well timed (and without the guys staring across the ring at each other forever, which is usually how they get that timing), though it doesn’t come of as well on TV.
