What happened:

Valiente tope

Rey Bucanero won his match in straight falls, setting up a title match in the process. He also seemed to cut a hand reversing the torpedo splash into a submission. Bucanero made the most of the injury.

Thoughts:

Stuka & Bucanero set up next week’s title match with the sort of mask ripping more accustomed to a personal feud. It’s probably the only way Bucanero can really make this work, though it left him getting beat up a lot and getting little in before the surprise submission. There’s no strong way to build a Rey Bucanero/Stuka match in 2019 anyway. There was a usual Tuesday main event around it.

The cibernetico had generally good action though it rarely got hot. They made use of having a lot of people involved for some hot multiperson sections. Universo battering one tecnico after another was the best he’s ever looked in particular. It didn’t keep that level at the end; the action was fine but the excitement wasn’t quite there. This was fun for Virus pulling out winning holds from nowhere; not sure Dulce still knows how he got beat.

The repetitive matchups of the minis division has numbed me to the concept. The crowd in Arena Mexico reacted as loud as you’ll hear, for the mini tecnicos making a comeback in the second fall. Angelito did get a chance to work in a trios, which doesn’t seem to happen a lot in streamed matches and helped bring some extra energy. This still wasn’t something worth remembering but it felt like the effort was there more than usual.
