recap

taped 2014-07-08 @ Arena Coliseo Guadalajara

 

Zavala hard dropkick

Omar Brunetti, Sky Kid, Smaker vs Boby Zavala, Olímpico, Sangre Azteca: Rudo dominated match without the rudos doing much of anything. Olímpico was working harder than usual (and bought a new shirt finally) but it didn’t amount to much. Omar Brunetti was the focus of commentary a lot (mostly jokes about his Italian heritage) and was alright, but I have no idea what he was thinking on the missed dive.

dive to nowhere

 

Pierroth better with no contract

Máximo, Super Porky, Volador Jr. vs Ephesto, Gran Guerrero, Pierroth: Bad match the crowd enjoyed because Porky was in it. The head to head comparison between Gran Guerrero and Pierroth was something. Pierroth can’t do anything, but Gran Gran can’t actually do things right. Volador had to fix the Pulpo Guerrero while he was in the hold. That was something. At least the técnicos figured out something.

 

at least Sombra sells the Destoryer big

La Máscara, La Sombra, Rush vs Rey Bucanero, Shocker, Terrible: This match might have worked as a brawl, but it instead turned into a normal trios match with guys working opposite sides. Terrible and Bucanero weren’t good enough as técnicos to make it work (and Terrible’s run ended with a mystery confusing botch spot with Rush.) Shocker doing the same comeback in every one of these matches isn’t helping, and the DQ at the end didn’t feel at all earned. Another week with not even one match coming close to good.
