Virus, Hombre sin Nombre, Sangre Azteca vs. Angel de Oro, Stuka Jr., Dragon Lee

We begin with Stuka/Virus and of course it’s fantastic, Virus is simply the best at bringing the best out of other people, no matter how good or bad they are. Stuka is not bad, but with Virus out there, he looks awesome. Then we got de Oro/Hombre and it was good too, but when Dragon Lee entered the ring to square off against Sangre Azteca, we got Virus being glorious again, he hates Dragon Lee and is willing to make the match go the chaos route, it paid off – they won primera. Segunda carried on that crazy rhythm and we got an excellent fall with a great tecnico comeback, the crowd was very into it. Tercera was ultra quick with rapid fire exchanges before it went down to Virus/DL, just an awesome stuff, great trio match.

****1/4

Atlantis, Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr. vs. Mephisto, Cavernario, Hechicero

Looks dope on paper, but except for Cavernario/Maya, everything and everyone else was meh. Basically, everything with Caveman and GMJ was pure gold, so much charming potential in their chemistry, they’re so fun to watch.

***1/4

Dragon Rojo Jr., Angel de Oro, Stuka Jr. vs. Ephesto, Hechicero, Hombre sin Nombre

Solid match that probably should’ve been much better. Hechicero deserves bigger things than this.

**3/4

Atlantis, Volador Jr., Valiente vs. Ultimo Guerrero, Euforia, Thunder

Killer trio brawl, full sprint mode with many little mini-arcs and story tweaks throughout the match, and all that in 13-14 minutes. Volador almost taking off UG’s head with a superkick was cringeworthy.

Atlantis & Mascara Dorada vs. Ultimo Guerrero & Gran Guerrero

Fun match, as is always case with this rivalry. Atlantis/UG stuff was spot on, the moment of the match was Dorada blowing up one spot and immediately making up for it with a HUGE ass dive, lol. What a man.

***1/4
