IWRG TV 5/25/06:
Everyone seemed to be working harder on this show b/c the building was JAM PACKED! Noticable difference from the usual TV crowd. Tons of kids as well. Might have had something to do with a guy in the main event who's name starts with 'M' and ends in 'istico'.;)
Halcon Salvaje and Kid Tiger vs Bacteria and Nemesis: Hey - false advertising! Fredo says Ultimo Tigre was wrestling instead of Salvaje.:( That was disapointing at first but then Salvaje showed he came to wrestle so I was alright with it. I love the spot Kid Tiger does where his opponent drops to his knees so Tiger can backflip over him and then kick him in the back of the head. Felino needs to use that before Tiger grows up! I liked the first and third falls especially. Finishing sequence was really nice and Tiger continues to progress quite well.
Ave Fenix/Panterita/Vertigo vs Fantasma De La Opera/Nitro/Shigeo Okumura: Aw, Nitro wished Okumura a happy birthday before the match! This was worked more CMLL style than IWRG style as the rudos took over almost right away and won the first fall with lame brawling and the odd double team move or two. Second fall seemed to be joined in progress. Okumura and Fantasma De La Opera got knocked outside behind the ringpost on opposite sides. Ave Fenix nailed Fantasma with a running tope over the top where he almost impaled himself! Panterita did a ringpost plancha on Okumura. I thought Vertigo was gonna pin Nitro to win the fall but Nitro just decided not to get in the ring and got counted out. Third fall started nice with Panterita going nuts, doing a springboard 360 onto his feet and a cool springboard frankensteiner. Then a spot got messed him with him and two rudos. This led to Ave Fenix having a spot of his screwed up and they had to slow things down to get back on track. Vertigo ended up going for an ugly pescado on Nitro who moved. Fantasma gave Panterita a S-I-C-K sounding power bomb that had concussion written all over it while Okumura made Fenix submit in the opposite corner. Rudos win clean! Good match.
Pantera/El Hijo Del Texano/Sicodelico Jr. vs Cien Caras Jr./El Veneno/Mazada: Pretty good match and not mailed in at all like I expected. Pantera did a nice tope suicida onto Veneno early in the first fall. Texano Jr. and Cien Jr. seem to have good chemistry together. Cien Jr. got unmasked at one point and had blondish hair. Suplex??? Lots of back and forth stuff in the third fall which was really good and made the match stand out which is exactly what I ask for when I watch Lucha Libre. Sico Jr. did a gorgeous slingshot tornillo onto Mazada. Pantera pinned Veneno but he wasn't the captain. A bit later Cien Jr. low blowed Texano and pinned him. Texano was the captain so rudos win!
Dr. Wagner Jr. and Mistico vs Canek and Cerebro Negro: Interesting pairings here. They mostly kept themselves seperated into singles matches early on. Rudos took the first fall. Mistico had his mask ripped up and was bleeding. The second fall was either edited off on TV or by whoever recorded it b/c we came back from commercial in the middle of a tecnico comeback. Canek/Wagner traded some boring stuff. Mistico and Cerebro Negro then did some okay stuff which got a huge reaction but it seemed a little awkward when Mistico did his crazy tornillo armdrag and then just picked Cerebro up for a neck snap and chokehold. Those moves don't really go together at all. Canek and Mistico had a very short confrontation which was quite good as Mistico escaped from the Gorilla Press and then backflipped onto his own feet. He then got hit with the Gorilla Press and Wagner saved him by clotheslining both he and Canek to the outside. Mistico then made Cerebro Negro submit to La Mistica for the win(hence why I say we missed the second fall). Lots of challenges afterwards.
Probably the best IWRG episode in the new batch so far. Worth checking out as it's a good top-to-bottom show and I can almsot guarantee you it'll be one of the few times Canek and Mistico oppose each other on TV.
