IWRG TV 5/11/06

Ave Fenix/Kid Tiger vs Bacteria/Black Stone: First time seeing Ave Fenix. He's not exactly going for an original look as his outfit looks exactly like this luchador you might have heard of before named Rey Misterio Jr.. Ring a bell? Fenix is pretty tall but seems to be athletic. His spots don't look too great b/c he's doing stuff that a small guy could do 10x more fluidly. Average match that is only memorable for seeing the new guys. I've certainly seen better IWRG opening tags.

Vertigo/Panterita/Fantasma Jr. vs Brute Issei/Cyborg/Enfermero Jr.: Issei is this really fat guy from All Japan that has no business working in a Lucha Libre promotion. His presence alone dragged this match down big time b/c he was probably told not to sell for the smaller tecnicos and he followed orders perfectly. The one comeback they had on him got botched as he was supposed to catch a tope suicida by Fantasma Jr. but he wasn't in position so Fantasma just jumped off the apron at him which looked really weak. In the third fall Issei tossed Panterita over the top to the outside for a DQ. Really bad match.

Dr. Cerebro/Cerebro Negro/El Veneno vs Mazada/Nozawa/Takemura - Distrito Federal Trios Titles: I expected much more from a title match but they just worked it like a straight boring trios match. Mazada has obviously been coaching Cerebro Negro to work more strong style so after he nailed him with a Ki Krusher, Cerebro just popped right up and hit a german suplex, then both guys sold death. ~STRONG STYLE! *gag* Cheap finish didn't help matters. REALLY disapointing.

Dr. Wagner Jr./Mascara Sagrada/Mr. Niebla/Negro Casas vs Pierroth/Pierroth Jr./Los Head Hunters I y II: Usual brawl-filled main event. IWRG 4 on 4 matches are especially usually a mess b/c the matches aren't given any direction. Sagrada/Niebla did tope suicidas onto the Head Hunters and Sagrada looked to get hurt. I forget who won.

This is not a show you need to go out of your way to track down. Panterita can usually make IWRG DVD's worth it all by himself but not this time.
