Stuka tope

Rey Cometa, Stuka Jr., Tritón vs Maléfico, Sangre Azteca, Virus: Ok/good. Nice and rare hot técnico start to follow up from last week; going straight to the dives was novel. Match really slowed down in the second fall. Maléfico is solid, but it’s still unobvious why he’s in this feud. They’re booking it well but he’s not showing anything special. I feel like there must be a reason, even though it just seems like they pulled a rudo’s name from the hat. The tag stuff with Triton/Cometa and Sangre/Virus was more compelling.

Triton set on fire

La Máscara, Máximo, Super Porky vs Kráneo, Mr. Águila, Olímpico: A Brazo de Plata/Maximo match. Crowd liked it, they should probably keep doing these, but there’s little to write about them. Mascara played it as normal técnico. It really makes little difference. Mr. Aguila had A+ facepaint today (and wrestled fine!) There has been less Mije added pins this year and that is sad.

he did this three times, should gif it at least once

Atlantis, Marco Corleone, Titán vs Euforia, Niebla Roja, Último Guerrero: Generally a standard Ultimo Guerrero/Atlantis match. I’m about as over these as I am Consejo/Circus and am hoping they actually do the match at the Anniversary show just so there’s not another year of feuding. (Though they’ll surely end up doing some more matches unless Atlantis retires.) They did mix it up a bit in the third fall, switching from the usual match ups to UG/Titan, hipswiveling Niebla Roja/Marco and Euforia/Atlantis, which gave us a few different spots. Finish seemed like it should’ve been a double disqualification, although Ultimo Guerrero did strike first.

Titan is smooth
