Arena Mexico Report! 7/25/2017
Blue Panther Jr., The Panther and Stigma vs El Sagrado, Misterioso and Disturbio
Blue Panther Jr. and The Panther have the classic panther mask design, but Blue is in Blue while just The Panther is in Black. Their 3rd is Stigma in black and red mask and pants.
On the rudo side we have El Sagrado who has a third white cross on his black mask, Misterioso has a green mask with tendrils of cloth that hand off it, their 3rd member is Disturbio who is the only maskless man in the match.
Good, this tuesday's show is full of good wrestling and this is a great example of that. Particularly Stigma and Sagrado clash pretty well throughout the duration of this match.
Rey Cometa vs Virus, in a Lightning Match
Rey Cometa is in the blue attire while Virus is wearing black attire with facepaint. Rey Cometa(34) is a bit younger than Virus(48). Both are midcard guys so this is a chance for bragging rights and might tip the hat that the winner has a bigger story coming... or it might be filler for the Tuesday show. Hard to say until the next few weeks unfold.
Good, much better than expect. No offense to either man, but Virus is getting long in the tooth and my perception of Rey Cometa is that of a guy who always loses. They put on a great show though and I think my highlight of the night would have to be a bizarre armdrag that Virus does to Rey Cometa on the outside... that looked brilliantly smooth.
Los Revolucionarios del Terror(Dragón Rojo Jr. & Polvora) & Vangellys vs Dragon Lee, Guerrero Maya Jr. and Johnny Idol
Dragon Rojo Jr. has hair that hangs out of his mask and is in all red, Polvora has yellow and red on his mask and is in black pants while their 3rd Vangellys has no mask and has a shaved head from losing a recent hair vs hair match.
On the tecnico side of things we have Dragon Lee in red and white, Guerrero Maya Jr. has all white attire with some silver/green trim and their 3rd Johnny Idol is also maskless with long hair.
Very good, Dragon Lee looks like the star that CMLL has strongly positioned him as. One of the only things that’s off in the match is that the finish doesn’t land as well as one would like. Still the other 90% of the match is nearly flawless with both teams playing their good/bad guy roles perfectly.
Angel de Oro, Marco Corleone and Volador Jr. vs El Terrible, Rey Bucanero and Negro Casas
Angel de Oro like he often, is in his golden attire and mask, Marco Corleone is the giant white guy wearing the colors of Mexico/Italy(green white and red) while their third is maskless long haired member of Sky Team Volador Jr in green trunks/knee pads.
On the bad guy team we have 3 older rudos : Negro Casas the only member in briefs/trunks, El Terrible who has a beard and is in all black shirt and pants, then their their Rey Bucanero who has facepaint on and some dirty blonde to his hair.
Okay, but not as good as the 3 matches under it on the card. It’s an all too brief affair that has the rudos controlling most of the match up. The main reason this match is of note is that post match Rey seem to call out Angel de Oro. I didn’t get gifs for this match though there are some highlights, not many because of how quickly the match wraps up.
