La Sombra vs. Shocker
So, in the whacky world of lucha, Sombra is a rudo in Arena Mexico, but tecnico everywhere else, and he’s pretty good in both. This match had the tecnico Sombra, and it was quite fantastic, but first things first, this was the Shocker show, from the beginning until the ending. Such an old school aggression and intensity, he gave Sombra a helluva beating in every caida. Primera had Shocker completely dominating the match and throwing Sombra around like a rag doll, but then he got too cocky, which enabled Sombra’s great comeback to win the caida. Shocker was furious and wasted no time, so he sucker punched Sombra in the face right in the middle of ref hand-raising. Understandably, segunda saw even more aggressive and gnarly Shocker trying to tie the score. Tercera was pure gold with Sombra busting out one of the most impressive comebacks of the year, and the finish was excellent with Shocker completely losing his cool. It also served as a setup for a potential apuesta match down the road. So yes, this match was glorious.
****1/2

Los Indeseables (Rush, La Mascara, La Sombra) vs. Shocker, Ultimo Guerrero, Gran Guerrero
Another Indeseables trio worth watching. Rush is the ultimate rascal of pro-graps, he just turns everything into a merciless brawling, as evidenced by primera caida here. The rest of the match was not all that impressive, tbf, especially tercera and the finish, but great primera and solid segunda made something out of this.

Campeonato Mundial de Parejas CMLL: Negro Casas & Shocker vs. Rush & La Mascara ©
Just about every combo was pretty damn good here. Naturally, the match is made by the Casas/Rush animosity, it’s all one big build to an eventual hair vs. hair match, but then there’s also Shocker seeking revenge on Rush for losing his hair against him earlier this year. Big write-ups are futile here, this was simply an action packed, fast-paced and logical match.
***3/4

El Gallo, El Cachorro, Dragon Lee vs. Arkangel de la Muerte, Misterioso Jr., El Hechicero
Hechicero’s Busca de un Idolo BEEF with Cachorro and Lee carried this match, therefore it was pretty good every time they were in it, and pretty meh when other three guys wrestled. Hechicero is pretty much the best.
***1/4

El Cavernario, El Felino, Herodes Jr. vs. Angel de Oro, Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr.
I don’t know when and where, or why did Cavernario and Oro start their beef, but they actively despise each other. It pretty much carried the match, and when you add Maya doing his thing into the mix, you get a very nice trio.

Volador Jr., Fuego, Valiente vs. Negro Casas, Ephesto, Gran Guerrero
Negro Casas and Fuego have great chemistry. But then you see Casas and Volador having great chemistry as well, and then you remember it’s Negro Casas you’re watching after all, he has great chemistry with EVERYONE. Very good trio match here, I already mentioned three top guys, but the other three were totally fine too, especially Valiente. Volador is growing on me, though, never thought much of him before. Just like Rush, he has no mercy for 55 year old Casas, he goes full force, it’s like he’s trying to break his face. Excellent finish too.
