recap
taped 2012-03-18 @ Auditorio Benito Juarez, Zapopan, Jalisco
Chessman & Teddy Hart vs Joe Lider & Juventud Guerrera and Halloween & Nicho el Millionario and Extreme Tiger & Fenix: Unabashed total stunt show. Moves, moves, and moves and not a lot more than that. Guys taking powerbombs on to ladders and being back up and fine twenty seconds later to piledriver guys. Some of the non-selling was due to editing, as they cut out time between spots to make it seem even faster paced than it was, but most of it was just a group decision to just keep going. Not a lot was really memorable because there was so much to see, but it came off as a spectacle better than the cage match that preceded it. I’m not quite sure why normally friendly people were motivated to put each other thru tables in an insignificant match, but everyone did seem very motivated to do something here.
Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown vs Octagón, Silver King, Último Gladiador : Not really that long of a match, at least how it was presented here, but that was fine. They did the best stuff, went strong for six minutes, and got out without overstaying their welcome. Octagon’s sleeper being turned into the pile up splash was a nice twist. Heck, Octagón made it thru a whole match without Tito or someone else running in for interference, a first for him as a rudo. No problem with this.
Billy el Malo, Cibernético, Escoria vs Dark Dragon, La Parka, Tito Santana in a lumberjack rules match : Another one that went the right amount of time. The turn on Parka comes out of nowhere, save for the one vignette where both he and Octagon were upset with Dorian, and it’s not clear just from watching the TV why Octagon turned on him. Their interest stuff, some of which was surely designed to air, explained Octagon was mad at Parka for attacking his allies, but that’s a bit much for to get out of one show, and this is the same group doing eight months of LA Park teasing a técnico turn. Different Parkas get different teases, I guess. The lumberjack stip almost worked here, with the idea that Parka couldn’t run away this time, but it mostly turned into the usual bit of comedy and was ignored when they wanted to ignore it to do dives.
el Hijo del Perro Aguayo vs Héctor Garza, Jack Evans, LA Park in Rey de Reyes Tournament final match : The story of this match, at least the end part of it, was Jack was good enough to win this match many times at the end, with only Hector preventing it from happening. That sure seems to set the stage for either Hector being in the match next time (a tag?) or kept out of it (a cage?), but instead that seems like it’s it. Disappointing end to a feud that had been built so strong.
