Arena Puebla Report! 02/11/2019
Amapola, Seductora & La Comandante vs. Princesa Sugehit, Lluvia & La Vaquerita
Amapola in pink/black, Seductora looking like a nun and La Comandante in civvies with black pants/t-shirt.
Sugehit in gold, Lluvia in pink netting and Vaquerita in shorts.
Good, it’s nice to see Vauerita again even if she didn’t really wow here. CMLL has more women on the roster than you’d know. In the same regard even though I don’t like Comandante much, it’s nice to see her mix it up and helps this trio feel different than Dalys/Sugehit 300, even if I like that combo. Doesn’t really stand out from the normal luchadora fare though.
Drone, Fuego & Guerrero Maya Jr. vs. Okumura, Kawato San & Sagrado
Drone in white/red, Fuego in orange/yellow and Maya in white all masked.
Okumura with Kawato the young lion from NJPW and Sagrado as the lone masked rudo here.
Good, but not all that different from the other matches these midcarders have been doing vs. one another in the last 6 months or so since Kawato San joined CMLL. Drone does his signature sliding splash to the outside, which looked pretty good. The ending of this match was a bit of a mess though with Sagrado stumbling into a powerbomb. Looked like drone was fine, but just looked bad.
Ultimo Guerrero, Villano IV & El Hijo del Villano III vs. Atlantis, Atlantis Jr. & Vangellys
Atlantis & Jr. in the iconic white mask, Vangellys in all black.
Villanos in pink, III without top, Ultimo in green/black.
Very good, I’m still liking this feud. Your mileage may very, but I’m buying in. With Homage to 2 Legends right around the corner, I’m wondering if this might happen there too. If not an apuestas, just a tag team match between the two teams of dynasty. Vangellys, who I don’t really care for, actually had a good tecnico rebound giving a mean looking spear to Ultimo Guerrero. So, we might have just seen the spark for Ultimo Guerreros next title defense vs. Vangellys. Seems like that would be a nice title match for Puebla.
Rush maskless, Cuatrero with mask.
Great, a classic Rush brawl and Cuatrero having to fight the unconventional fight. Cuatrero being use to fighting tecnicos who... you know don’t smash the round card over your head. Puebla got a classic tonight and one of the best matches of the year so far. Rush + Ingobernables or Lee/Mistico vs. NGD will be a great feud for this year and hopefully this is just one of the classic matches that feud can deliver. It also helped this had a finish, I’m glad it didn’t end via low blow or unmasking as Rush matches often do.
