IWRG TV 6/1/06:

Ave Fenix & Kid Tiger vs Black Stone & Fantasma De La Opera: Joined in progress which sucks b/c this ended up being really good. Kid Tiger pretty much has it all to join the CMLL roster now except for another 20-30 pounds. He's sorta like Panterita in the sense they both started working undercards here and needed to be carried big time but now they have both progressed to the point where it looks like they don't belong working with guys like Ave Fenix and Black Stone any more. Fenix seems really green and is gonna hurt himself one day with the spots he botches. Third fall was really good.

Dr. Cerebro & Cerebro Negro vs Mazada & Shigeo Okumura: Worked CMLL style meaning a lot of stalling and then rushing through a fall in 2 minutes. The work they did was perfectly fine but they only had to do 4 or 5 minutes of good work in total so they have no excuse to have not looked good. Dr. Cerebro had an awesome exchange with both rudos in the third fall but the Japanese team won clean and asked for a tag title match next week.

Felino/Mr. Niebla/Pantera vs Misterioso II/Nitro/Pierroth Jr.: Pantera looked a little extra motivated than usual and did some nice stuff in the first two falls with all the rudos. The other two tecnicos may as well have just sent other guys to work under their masks for all I care. Third fall was big time disapointing. There was no finishing sequence or any tease of dives/finishers/anything. They just packed it up in 10 seconds. Crowd even seemed a bit let down.

Canek vs Dr. Wagner Jr. - IWRG Heavyweight Title Bout: I feel like I've seen this before. Probably b/c I have since IWRG has done this match twice in the past year and the format never changes. If you're a Canek fan you will enjoy it b/c he does all his trademark stuff. It was Wagner's turn to lose since he won two UWA Title matches in this building already. But Canek was nice enough to let it be via DQ so he could save face. Now that both men get to still look like stars, perhaps they could think about why next week this building will have half the fans due to the stupid finish. PERHAPS.

Dissapointing episode. IWRG has been on a bad run lately.
