Mini Chessman/Jerrito Estrada/Mini Abismo Negro vs. Prince/Octagoncito/Mascarita Sagrada
Is it OK to really like this match while at the same time feel a little dirty about the whole idea? Nonetheless, Octagoncito and Mascarita Sagrada are two of the best wrestlers I’ve seen. Prince is hilarious, if you are into 4′ spanish dudes who look like a cross between Prince Iakuea and The Arist. I don’t like Mini Chessman at all. He looks like a bad Santas elf. Jerrito looks like a slimey bartender I once knew who worked for the Argentinian mafia. The finish spinning satellite into a submission was awesome. I watched it three times. *3/4
Cuervo/Scoria/Ozz vs. Decnnis/El Costeño/Super Fly
Decnnis looks like a member of 3 Count. The three members of La Secta are all very capable. Decnnis is one of those good looking babyfaces that get the women to go to wrestling. El Costeno looks like a dude you’d see hanging out at the local deli or bodega drinking beers in his soccer t-shirt and hawaiin shorts. People count chops in Kobashi matches, they should count arm drags in any lucha match. There are tons of dives. You shake your head is disbelief these guys aren’t dead at least once in each match. *1/2
Zumbido vs. El Hijo del Fantasma
Finally, a one on one match. Zumbido misses a springboard and screws up big around the halfway point, which shits it all up. They cut to commercial and that makes it mworse. Up until that point I was digging it, although Fantasma hits a couple of slams a bit lazyish. I prefer Joshi to Lucha at this point. They remind me of the other but Joshi’s better. I’d go far as to say the women wrestlers are better. Zumbido hits a nice moonsault, Fantasma with a good handspring bacl elbow. Blown spot… suicida, rest period… then outside interference. Shocker and Alan Stone attack and I get confused a little and Fantasma gets counted out. Also, is the “ZZZZ… ZZZ… ZZZ….ZUMBIDO!” thing annoying or cool? I haven’t made up my mind. *1/2
Televisa Deportes/Electroshock/Pimpinela Escarlata vs. Chessman/Charly Manson/Cassandro
OOOH! What happened??/ I messed up and stopped recording! I was looking forward to Pimpinella vs. this other exotico. DAMN!
Shocker/Zumbido/Alan Stone vs. Intocable/La Parka/El Zorro
Vampiro vs. Cibernetico
