MOTYC: Barbaro Cavernario vs Dragon Lee, CMLL 1/4 Super Fridays

YOU NEED TO SEE THIS MATCH. It starts off feeling like just a match that's going to lead to a rematch next week and that's what makes it so good. It uses the three falls to actually build to the third fall and the third fall is incredible. I just finished Switchblade vs Skipper and this is better than anything I've seen on the Dome thus far.

HM: Sanson, Cuatrero and Forastero vs Soberano Jr, Niebla Roja and Angel Del Oro

What's great about Caristico vs Volador is they both fully understand the NJPW crowd just wants to see them do crazy poo poo and doesn't really want to see them wrestle a "great match" so they just go out to do crazy poo poo at the expense of the kind of match they might do in Mexico. Not that they wouldn't do crazy poo poo, but they'd structure it more as a match. They were right it was exactly what the crowd wanted.

MOTYC: Vikingo, Myzteziz Jr and Murder Clown vs the OGTs

Myzteziz needs a bit of work but what an absolutely bonkers match. Tons of incredible dives including a Murder Clown dive. Vikingo is maybe the best high flyer in the world (I personally like Audaz) and it results in a must see match.

Kzy deserves a shout out for his role too. One of the best fiery babyfaces currently wrestling, and the crowd was super hot for him from the start. Some of the bumps he took in the match were insane as well, especially the second rope tombstone

I dunno if the crowd was super hot for him from the start. The opening couple minutes is pretty quiet except for one person shouting for him. Gets very hot after that though.

The crowd was so into it by the end and unlike some lucha matches which feel like an exhibition, this felt like an actual struggle, especially by the end. And Titan was so happy to win. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4hkfepT_D8&t=3904s I feel like this match is way more accessible than any CMLL singles match of the last year.

Rovert has described WOW as a cross between what people thought wrestling was in the 80s and what sit com writers make wrestling look like on sitcoms and it's so accurate. This match is fine but the finish is something someone with a really weird view of wrestling would think is a good idea.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EoU3XVgZOA

Feel bad for the women involved as it's a finish designed to make them look stupid.

WMOTYC: Diamante Azul vs Gilbert El Boricua, CMLL 3/8

The first fall was boring with weak strikes and a lazy finish.

The second fall was absolute trash. Diamante Azul would just ignore what Gilbert was doing to do the moves he wanted to do including the lead into the finish. The strikes were bad everything was bad.

The third fall was more laughable trash with the only finish that could possibly happen. The worst match of the year involving wrestlers under 50.

I'll give the Rey de Reyes match an HM, but the two tag title matches were just nothing. Both were short and the Young Bucks match had zero heat. I don't think I'd even say either was good.

I'll second it.

This was like the opposite of the UG/Park singles match from a couple years ago. In that all the complicated spots and technical wrestling they did looked kind of bad but was very endearing. It was held together by some good brawling and well timed goofiness.

In this one guys seemed to get lost, but it was really fun and Park hit a perfect Code Red. Definitely worth watching.

MOTYC: Okada vs Sanada. Loved how they fooled me the last few minutes. Not on nearfalls but they'd set up sequences and counters that seemed so obvious, then add a little twist, then do something totally unexpected. Really good stuff. Okada did do the best version of the lazy horrible Jeff Jarrett raise one arm kickout I've seen in years though. He actually made it seem like he was too hosed up to do anything more, and unlike Jeff he actually got his shoulder up.

WMOTYC: Sami Callihan vs The Mancer. The worst American match I have seen all year.

Lawlor vs Havoc was a WMOTYC in execution and match structure but they did a lot of stuff and Lawlor bled a lot so it was more just kind of bad. But the finish is completely dead and you knew it'd be dead since they did the big spot of the match long before the finish.

This match was perfect given the undercard. With shorter, simpler matches underneath the crowd bit on nearfalls they wouldn't at other shows this weekend. Really great match especially the last few minutes.


MOTYC: STARS vs Oedo-tai 8 Woman Elimination match

The only flaw with this was they probably should have made it clearer to the live crowd that eliminations could occur over the top rope to the floor. Half the crowd seemed to get it and half didn't. But it didn't really matter since they knew by the end.
