Masquerade/RED Triangle Gate Match aftermath

Absolutely seconded, and it's even better when you take into account the whole RED/Masquerade feud building throughout last year: The Triangle Gate feud, Dia & Yoshioka's huge rivalry, and Shun & Diamante's feud that caused all the mask problems, as well as the rising tension within both RED and Masquerade for several months. They managed to pull off satisfying conclusions to ALL of that in one night. It's the most plot advancement I can remember happening in a promotion in so little time.

I'm not sure what category to put this in. Most Under-delivery on Hype? Biggest Disappointment? Something like that.

MLW Azteca:
-Spring 2021: Awesome, a LuchaAzteca Underground stable in MLW! Dario Cueto's here! :haw:
-Summer 2021: Holy poo poo, a spinoff! LU's spiritual successor is getting its own brand featuring your old favorites! :D
-Autumn 2021: Soooo we couldn't get a TV deal, now it's a miniseries. And it'll have... some... of your old favorites. :geno:
-Winter 2022: Uh, here. We taped some The Crash Lucha Libre shows with MLW guys on it. Some of the luchadors are from AAA, and that's basically the same thing right? Anyway it still has MLW matches like any other Fusion episode, but in Mexico. :effort:

Just... What were they thinking? Postpone it if you can't get it together. Don't hype up a LU relaunch and then deliver a mediocre crossover show as if we don't know the difference. There's like 3 LU guys in it and they're not in the same episode, so it's not Lucha Underground and it's barely Azteca Underground. It's not even particularly good in a vacuum as a MLW x Crash series.

Yeah, I also tried to watch that Azteca show and was severely disappointed. Worst Premiere of the Year? Worst Branding? Most Missed Mark? Shatteredest Expectations? I'll nth it and drop it into the generic BAD tab of my spreadsheet.

I'm comfortable with "Biggest Hype Fail of the Year".

Finishing Sequence of the Year:

GLEAT [G PROWRESTLING] Ver.16
G-REX Title Tournament Quarterfinal
CIMA vs Takanori Ito

Worth watching the whole match, but the finish starts about here. CIMA becomes increasingly desperate to beat Ito and tries an elaborate series of pins and cradles, but nothing works. Finally, Ito kicks CIMA's loving head off for the win.

I've been high on Reed for a while now, he's really something and I hope he gets his due in a bigger promotion.
