Estrellita vs Amapola in a lightning match: Remember how unexpectedly great the Amapola/Estrellita title match was? The reason it was unexpectedly great is because we’d all expect that match to look something like this. This was some eh stuff followed by some worse stuff. The final bits appeared to include Estrellita forgetting how to do her own finisher and the finish itself getting blown. And it aired on TV! I’m going to need help to get thru this if they do a hair match. The shame is this is a good dynamic to build a new tecnica – the characters kind of work even if the matches do not. They’d have something here if Lolita was an Estrellita’s spot.
Pegasso, Rey Cometa, Sensei vs Hooligan, Nitro, Skándalo: This got weird when it turned into a move for move replay of Tuesday’s segunda (also with Skándalo and Rey Cometa), but was mostly fine otherwise. Liked the bit of Pegasso (& Sensei) setting up Cometa for his finisher. Tuareg do that with Skandalo at times, and it makes it feel more like an actual team. Hooligan is fun and I didn’t mind Nitro here, but I think Tuesday’s match was a little bit better.
Atlantis, Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr. vs Dragón Rojo Jr., Rey Escorpion, Último Guerrero: What happens to the third card girl when there’s only two falls? Let’s think of the real victims of this match. This might have been a match where (at least) Dragon Rojo came in hurt, and they still needed him to set up this tag title match, so they tried to pull of a match that wouldn’t require a lot of punishment. It wasn’t a lot of técnico offense for a two fall win, more heat building and setting things up for the future.
The Estrellita match wasnt that bad their later matches have been better.
The end was sloppy but i would give it two stars. Plus Estrellita is sexy!!!!!
And I thought I was a Estrellita Fan boy? Jeez
