Star Jr., Triton & King Jaguar vs. Disturbio, Nitro & El Coyote

Who’s who?

Star in dark blue, Triton in white & King in red.

Disturbio bald, Nitro with a fuzzy mohawk and Coyote in brown. 

How’s the match?

Very good, tecnicos all got to look good at various points here. I’d like to see Triton higher on the card, but he has gotten pretty good spots in the last few weeks. Being low on a random Puebla hopefully won’t be a common occurrence, this feels more like where someone like Stigma or Pegasso would be. Good stuff, Disturbio doesn’t look bad bald, but seems weird to have him shaved by Metalico... guess they needed to move seats for that Coliseo show?

Hechicero, Sagrado & Misterioso vs. Kraneo, Volcano & Esfinge

Who’s who?

Hechicero in suspender, Sagrado with a white cross on his mask and Misterioso in green mask with threads hanging off it.

Kraneo in yellow, Volcano in red & Esfinge in white. 

How’s the match?

Very good, I’ve said before that Sagrado/Misterioso team enough that they should become a stable. They might even be a good rudo duo to be lackeys for Hechicero as well, who is also a rudo without a stable. I’m always happy to see Kraneo/Volcano too and CMLL is good about not over exposing those two guys... meaning it feels like a treat when they do have a match together. 

Barbaro Cavernario, Ultimo Guerrero & Gran Guerrero vs. Atlantis, Soberano Jr. & Mistico

Who’s who?

Barbaro in bodypaint, Ultimo maskless in blue, Gran in blue masked. 

Atlantis in iconico white mask, Soberano in blue and Mistico in half white/blue. 

How’s the match?

Good, this match was a little shorter than it needed to be. Luckily it wasn’t too annoying that it felt brief because the main event at least went a full length. This felt like it may have been rushed in an attempt to give the main event more time? This was okay, but didn’t get much(if anything) new from anyone here. 

Caristico vs. Volador Jr.

Who’s who?

Caristico in blue masked, Volador Jr. in white/black. 

How’s the match?

Great, with a match like this that is a singles match between two very protected guys... I always worry the ending will be deflating. This could be, but knowing the history between the two it just made me laugh. I can’t be mad by this ending, especially when it feels like before it happened we got a full match. This didn’t feel like Rush kicking someone in the dick early in the 2nd. This match could have worked in more, but felt like a full sized match and not a fun sized one. 

Kraneo, Esfinge & Stigma vs. Hechicero, Templario & Malayo

Who’s who?

Kraneo in yellow/black, Esfinge in white/blue & Stigma in black/red.

Hechicero in suspenders, Templario in silver and Malayo in a black shirt.

How’s the match?

Good, Hechicero and Kraneo butt heads here. That’s the main thing of note here, it’s hard to really build intrigue with no gold here. You’d think that Esfinge/Templario would have done much here, you’d be forgiven for forgetting they were the final two of the torneo last Friday Night. This wasn’t bad by any means, Malayo feels like he is battling about his weight. Still, he isn’t in the semi-main or main like Nitro has been lately. I don’t mind him being slightly higher in the midcard, even if he isn’t all that compelling. 

NGD(Sanson, Cuatrero & Forastero) vs. Flyer, Stuka Jr. & Valiente

Who’s who?

Sanson with a tank top, Cuatrero with horseshoes on his gear/mask and Forastero having gold trim. 

Flyer in blue, Stuka in blue/black/white & Valiente the only man not in pants.

How’s the match?

Good, NGD do good here, but this just isn’t terribly noteable. Sanson will likely shine Friday night, but this is just a very by the numbers match from all involved. Best moments was for certain the end, which really feels like a sequence that will surely happen in some big Valiente/Cuatrero match down the line. Seems like a little bit of a waste to use that reversal here, but obviously very few will remember it was used here at all. 

Rush, Mistico & Bestia del Ring vs. Caristico, Ultimo Guerrero & Diamante Azul

Who’s who?

Rush and father dressed alike and Mistico in white/gold mask.

Caristico in white, Ultimo maskless and Azul in blue. 

How’s the match?

Very good, Rush/Mistico have never been friend with Caristico and it’s nice to see the brothers get off some steam by fighting him here. This match and feud seemed like it was going to be Mistico/Caristico, but Rush reminded Caristico and everyone else that he too isn’t fond of Caristico. This match comes to an end as many a Rush match do... with a kick to the groin. The Puebla card has already been released and Rush will be taking Caristico on in a singles match. Should be fun, if it doesn’t have a deflating finish like this match did.
