a bit south for a Cruz Nipona. Cruz Indonesia?

Black Metal & Palacio Negro vs Hooligan & Skándalo: better on the web, where you could actually see the finish of the first fall. It’s a tremendous effort to get three matches on this show, but I don’t know that they’ve ever really gotten three full matches on this show. This was the fine start to a feud between these teams that I guess got dropped when they decided to bring Palacio Negro up. Maybe. Poor Black Metal, who won’t be able to use his matching gear with Palacio Negro for a while to come.

Sangre Azteca, Stuka Jr., Valiente vs Rey Bucanero, Shigeo Okumura, Yoshihashi: A Guadalajara match with a dumb finish. Two straight DQs that weren’t really going anywhere and didn’t mean much, but I think this might have been their way to keep Bucanero “strong” after losing the feud to Maximo.

Hijo del Fantasma, La Sombra, Máscara Dorada vs Terrible, Texano, Volador Jr.: a match none of us had much enthusiasm for, but wasn’t an ambarassment or anything.

recap: here

I think Maximo quitting CMLL (for a few hours) caused his match to be bumped from this match. Very disappointing; it might have been great, but it would’ve been entertaining. It’s not like this show was filled with other winners.

Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II vs Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno: A dream match! Easily the best thing on this show, nothing extraordinary, but a well done veteran tag with the home team winning.

Lluvia, Luna Mágica, Marcela vs Mima Shimoda, Princesa Blanca, Tiffany: Luna Magica. I dunno. What can you say? This wasn’t a long match and that was fine.

Hijo del Fantasma & Toscano vs Mr. Águila & Olímpico: Guadalajara walk thru special.

recap: here

Gallo, Sagrado, Sangre Azteca vs Escorpion, Misterioso II, Pólvora: HATED this match. Rudos were a slow, unhurried annoyance to Sangre. There wasn’t anything more to the match, and what they were doing was too passive and too scattered to be interesting. And then wont forever. A dreary GDL match; between this match and the Polvora/Sangre Azteca lightning match, it felt like a really good idea they didn’t do a mask match between then at Dos Leyendas. Sangre’s been improving as a tecnico, but there wasn’t much of that here.

Felino & Rey Bucanero vs Máscara Dorada & Máximo – as action, this feud hasn’t been much, but it’s made up for it with wacky shennangins. This was the oddest conga line ever.

Rey Cometa & Stuka Jr. vs Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno: Good basic match. more good Trueno fun. Cometa mat work was a bit different from usual.

Máximo, Toscano, Valiente vs Dragón Rojo Jr., Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero: We are so far behind on this show, the Bucanero/Maximo feud that I forgot about is just starting. They did a great job of building up to the kiss spot. Black Warrior is going to have to prove he still has the best tope with Valiente crushing people.

Mr. Trueno vs Puma King for the Occidente Middleweight Championship: Fun. I believe in Puma King, and I don’t mind if he loses as long as he gets things to show off. It is odd to see CMLL take their time with him when they’re rushing other people to the top, but more matches with Mr. Trueno are fine with me.

Hijo del Fantasma, La Máscara, Máximo vs Terrible, Texano, Volador Jr.: Usual Maximo match that gets over really well with a live crowd, though feels like something we’ve seen on TV a lot prior. Texano molding himself after Hector Garza is not a surprise, Texano literally doing Hector Garza’s spots in a match is a bit weird to see. You’re supposed to wait for him to leave to do that! I have to admit that I’m not sure what an Air Predator is, but I’m not sure Volador knows either.

Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno vs Puma King & Tiger Kid: The previous version was a bit smoother but this was still a lot of fun. It’s still the old villians schooling the young punks

Delta, Metal Blanco, Stuka Jr. vs Shigeo Okumura, Virus, Yoshihashi: Good! Virus didn’t look like he was going to hurt Yoshihashi during this match, always a positive sign. Stuka and Virus are good against each other. Metal Blanco was good here too.

Rush & Super Porky vs Héctor Garza & Volador Jr.: The least of the three matches, an anti-climatic finish to the show. Everyone’s slamming Porky now (though it did almost kill Volador.)
