Campeonato Mundial Mini-Estrella de CMLL:
Mercurio vs. Astral ©
Great match
that could’ve been a masterpiece if Astral didn’t look fucking CLUELESS at
least 3-4 times during key submissions and transitions, he was trying to bust
out some ultra complicated fancy holds only to fail miserably. But at least he
made up for some of it with that great finish. Virus should come back to the
division and teach him a lesson of five. Very dramatic third fall, seeing all
the old ladies and teen girls losing their shit was priceless. Mercurio was
outstanding here.

Blue
Panther Jr., The Panther, Esfinge vs. Okumura, Puma, Tiger
Lucha on
auto-pilot. There were some cool moments here and there (Cachorro’s dive!), but
overall this was mostly uninspired and too by-the-numbers.

Ingobernables
(Rush, Sombra, Marco Corleone) vs. Terrible, Shocker, Negro Casas
Fucking
sweet, this was right up my alley, just look at the line-up, it’s five guys who
adore throwing nasty smacks at their opponents… and Sombra. I like Sombra, but here
I didn’t care for him at all, I was too busy marking the fuck out for all
things BRAWLING, the entire match was nothing but gang isolations and vicious
beatdowns, just a complete tussle. Goddamn it, it’s so good to see Rush back in
action where he belongs, here he is, against the three dudes whose hairs he
took, there’s plenty of heat and hatred, left hooks, chops, surly forearms and
uppercuts are being thrown around all over the place, stomping and kicking, just
awesome. Rush and Marco look fabulous in the same unit. Fantastic match full of
violence and charm, and be sure I’m the only one rating it this high, I’m well
aware of it, but these CMLL brawls involving Rush are just amazing in its
simplicity.

Atlantis,
Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr. vs. Hijos del Infierno (Mephisto, Ephesto, Luciferno)
Good match
albeit little bit aimless. The rudo trio hanged surprisingly well with the
tecnicos in athletic sense, but their control sessions were nothing special to
spice things up. Of course Maya did his crazy tope into customers.

Sky
Team (Mistico, Volador Jr., Valiente) vs. Guerreros Laguneros (Ultimo Guerrero,
Niebla Roja, Gran Guerrero)
Short match
that started off normally but turned into a brawl very quickly, overall it was
enjoyable prelude to the title rematch. Probably.
***1/4

Campeonato Mundial de Parejas CMLL:
Rush & Marco Corleone vs. Negro Casas & Shocker ©
Another
quality product of the Casas & Shocker vs. Ingobernables rivalry. Not a
high-end tussle like some previous tags and trios but still a very good
semi-brawl with Casas being punished like some young punk, and this is the 50
and something year old Casas we’re talking about here. The Shocker/Marco
punchfest was fun, Rush getting bored with ground game and going into striking
was also fun, the finish was such a sweet little thing, all in all this was
enjoyable enough.
***3/4

Shocker,
Rey Bucanero, Terrible vs. Atlantis, Volador Jr., Maximo
Fun little
nonstop brawl prelude to the double hair match, with Atlantis and Shocker
brought in to exchange falls. Great crowd heat for this one.
