Flamita
vs. Volador Jr.
Such bitter
disappointment, true story. The new Octagon Junior has let me down quite few
times in what people pimped as strong singles matches, he underdelivered in
those almost every time. He underdelivered here too, obviously. I love the guy
in tags and trios because his wrestling mindset looks like perfect fit for those,
but in singles competition that requires little bit more of brains and wit – he’s
not good yet, he needs much more polishing. His spots are technically
impressive, but it’s what he does between those spots that’s bugging me, and he
can’t structure a proper match to save his life. It most certainly didn’t help
his opponent here was Volador Jr., who’s mostly good and watchable, but his
nothing-but-spots mindset often gets better of him. This was the worst possible
version of CMLL Volador title match we got, and it was just bound for failure.
It’s astounding to me that people would praise this painfully average spotfest
as MOTYC. Give me a sloppy Psycho Circus brawl over this all day every day.
**1/2
(and I’m being VERY generous here)
