Two Smashing Maestros and Their Bag Full of Tricks

CMLL 2014/6/22

LIGHTNING MATCH: Blue Panther vs. Ephesto

Number of punches and Irish whips: ZERO. All they did was exchanging holds in the middle of the ring in a highly grueling fashion, and it was fantastic.

****1/4

UWA World Middleweight Championship: Silver Star vs. Charles Lucero ©

Where has the old fuck Lucero been my whole life? Smh… The old maestro displayed some of the most scientific pro-graps I’ve ever seen, and you know funny thing? Silver Star is not too much behind. The sanctity of clean title matches in lucha was respected to a T here, and I don’t really know what to write about the match other than “tons of slick, gracious matwork and catapults done at a frantic pace”. This was a pure, sinewy struggle with an amazing finish. Lucha MOTY.

****1/2
