Leyenda de Plata, Block A: This one was extra exciting live, because Titan advancing to the end, much less winning, was totally unexpected. It’s still fun watching it much later, though it doesn’t quite have the same excitement. It was equally nice to see Virus get so far in the tournament, and the set up of Atlantis taking out all the rudos until they all worked together to beat him was nicely done. Delta has had better nights and Tiger seemed underused, but this got a lot of the field they had. Olímpico even had a good moment.

 

Titan has no idea why they call it a safety barrier

Volador Jr. vs Reapper: A match. It didn’t feel particularly big; this was a chance for Reapper to show something even in a loss, and he really didn’t do anything much. This feud was built around the Invasors very angry with Volador for his betrayal, but there wasn’t much of the emotion here outside the first fall run-in. Reapper could’ve done a lot more in the second fall but just did some moves and the third fall was the usual Volador move trading only shorter than usual. Maybe this is more about establishing Volador as a tecnico, but then there’s no reason to even try to establish Reapper as some meaningful. This was like a half executed attempt.
