Fabián el Gitano, Metálico, Metatrón vs Bronco, Demus 3:16, Inquisidor: This is pretty much the nadir of Demus in the Big Guys division; he’s working with lesser guys and he’s still second on the card. The minis match was third on the card, so he was definitely worse off for one night. He’s been kind just hanging around in random eh matches recently, but winning the cibernetico on Tuesday gives me hope they haven’t given up on him. Meanwhile, Metatron is the tecnico equivialant of Inquisidor.

Metro, Rush, Toscano vs Ephesto, Shigeo Okumura, Yoshihashi: Yoshihashi is back! And now instead of just being out of his depth, his character is that he’s completely out of his depth. Or maybe it was just for this match, with Metro and Rush just gleefully killing him. Rush seemed very happy in this match.

Astral, Bam Bam, Fantasy vs Mercurio, Pequeño Nitro, Pequeño Olímpico: rare mini match with a lot of guys I’m not really interested in, but it was okay for what they got to do. Mercurio is the Pequeno Sangre Azteca in falling all over himself outside the ring after being sent out.

Ángel de Oro, Stuka Jr., Valiente vs Terrible, Texano, Vangelis: Vangelis lost to a dropkick to the knee! Don’t step to Valiente. Standard match with these six, shortened by a few minutes.

Astro Boy, Höruz, Starman vs Apocalipsis, Demus 3:16, Skándalo: I swear there was a two month stretch where Hijo de Faraon was good, right when he debuted. Things haven’t gone well since. Maybe it’s the umlaut, but had a good night here. I wonder if they’ve started another midcard cage match bit where the people who started it aren’t in the match by the end. (That would assume PLANS, a dangerous thing.)

Blue Panther, Super Porky, Toscano vs Atlantis, Averno, Héctor Garza: One of those fun live matches that don’t transfer favorably to TV. Avenro’s slam on Porky was mighty. Porky really has shrank.

Rayo Tapatío I, Rayo Tapatío II, Sensei vs Bronco, Mortiz, Tiger Kid: Crowd predictably had no interest in this match, but it was their loss. The Tapatios are the only ones who can time the toss/missile dropkick spot.

Ángel de Oro, Diamante, Rush vs Delta, Metro, Stuka Jr. [MEX TRIOS]: Eh. This was a bunch of moves just to do moves for a while and then it was over. Rush and Stuka did the big move kickouts at the end, but it didn’t feel like it was going anywhere until then.

Leono, Molotov, Starman vs Dr. X, Durango Kid, Nitro: A match! A Tuareg mask feud that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. I hope Dr. X didn’t talk his way out of a mask feud, that’d be sort of sad. Also, I think the point of going only two falls is so there’s more time for the rest of the show, but it doesn’t actually work if these matches still go the same 13 minutes.

Ángel de Oro, Diamante, Rush vs Metal Blanco, Palacio Negro, Sagrado [MEX TRIOS, #1, final]: Fantastic! My new theory is CMLL has those in rookie vs rookie matches (this one, the similar AC Tag final) do a few practice runs before hand, because it’s too much to ask them to risk them putting it all together in one try. These do feel a little rehearsed, but everyone has an idea of where they’re supposed to be going. Stuka & Metro are veteran enough to let them to work it out in the ring, and it actually works out worse.

The Rush/Sagrado stuff at the end was great and it’s disappointing we didn’t at least get a lightning match out of it.

I’ve taken a hard stand and refused to post the battle royal. Truly the controversial decision that will define my reign of terror.

Cancerbero, Raziel, Virus vs Ángel Azteca, Ángel de Plata, Guerrero Maya Jr. [MEX TRIOS, QF]: This was the usual okay match between these teams. It must’ve been very sad for Angel de Plata and Angel Azteca Jr. when they saw Angel de Oro split up from them and winning like crazy without them. He’s going somewhere, they’re having many more matches with the Cancerbros.

Ángel de Oro, Diamante, Rush vs Durango Kid, Puma King, Tiger Kid [MEX TRIOS, QF]: Quite often around here, the tournament you want to get is not the one you get. Maybe the Cats just aren’t built for tournaments, it just doesn’t seem to go well for them ever. This match here got better once they took control. Do we have a consensus on CMLL Durango Kid? Sometimes he’s good, sometimes he’s just sort of there.

Ángel de Oro, Diamante, Rush vs Cancerbero, Raziel, Virus [MEX TRIOS, SF]: Oddly low amount of time for the final (or oddly clipped to a low amount of time), but they made the most of it. The tecnicos all can do cool things on occasion, but it’s totally up to the rudos to keep it together.
