Campeonato Mundial Semi Completo de CMLL: Angel de Oro vs. Rey Escorpion ©

This will go down as an important moment in de Oro’s career and the crowd loved the finish, but ultimately – this was not a good match, they really lost me in tercera. Funny thing is, I can’t really point finger and tell what exactly bothered me, other than I was simply not in them, I guess. Shame.

**1/2

Rey Cometa, Angel de Oro, Stigma vs. Misterioso Jr., Sagrado, Skandalo

Eh, various stuff happened. There were portions I liked but overall I didn’t care for the majority of the match. That ending too.

**1/4

***1/2

CMLL 2014/10/21

Rush, Mascara, Diamante Azul vs. Terrible, Cavernario, Vangelis

Good things we got from this match: Rush/Terrible feud revival, a peek at a potential Rush/Cavernario bitter hate feud, and you guessed it – heavy, fierce blasts across the body as a common denominator.

***1/2

Volador Jr., Valiente, Titan vs. Vangelis, Rey Bucanero, Terrible

Shortish trio exhibition that totally worked, the tecnico team delivered big time, with Terrible being one hella foe.

Ingobernables (Rush, Sombra, Mascara) vs. Guerreros Laguneros (Ultimo Guerrero, Niebla Roja, Gran Guerrero)

Just a total 101 brawl that builds towards Rush/Ultimo, enter gang attacks and rough smacks all over the chest and head, I love this game.

Campeonato Mundial Historico NWA: Sombra vs. Volador Jr. ©

I lost count on how many times these two rivals faced off already, so I didn’t really look forward to this match. Stupid me, because this was absolutely spectacular. There was no matwork or feeling out process, it was just sheer high flying and one-upmanship in – high flying, you guessed it. While it may sound horrible and flippy for the sake of flippy on paper, it was everything but, this was a heated and very well constructed title match with great selling and suspense. The finish was beautiful, words cannot do it any justice.

****1/2
