Two Fresh CMLL Matches + An Atlantis/Ultimo Backlog

CMLL 2014/9/9

Atlantis, Rush, Titan vs. Guerreros Laguneros (Ultimo Guerrero, Euforia, Gran Guerrero)

This was one of their last meetings before the mascara match, and boy, it was great. Tremendous heat and unexpected finish when it comes to Atlantis, the idol of children, dug it very much. I can’t stress it enough, it’s absolutely astonishing how these CMLL guys are able to create a complete match within only 10 minutes.

****1/4

Mephisto, Ephesto, Kraneo vs. Atlantis, Mascara Dorada, Super Porky

I have a mental block against Kraneo and Porky, they’re absolutely terrible, but hey, the other four are pretty awesome so there’s some hope for a good match, right? Wrong! Kraneo and Porky got way too much ring time and almost ruined the match completely. The other four don’t deserve this, they saved the match from the shitter.

**1/2

Diamante Azul vs. Shocker

I dunno, the finish with the ref bump was kind of sloppy, but it was sold anyway, and overall – I liked the match and thought it was good. The finish made the crowd upset and they threw water bottles in the ring, I guess they’re just not behind Azul, at all. However, I’m sure there were people in the crowd who liked the match just like me, it was Shocker doing great as a traditional, rough rudo, while Azul was bumping and selling nice for him, and his hope spots were solid. There were not flashy and fancy spots, they rather worked a struggle match which I liked, because Shocker is a master when it comes to pacing, there’s always a sense of dynamic flow in his matches.
  
***1/4
