IWRG TV 6/8/06:

Ave Fenix & Kid Tiger vs El Macho II & Kaleth: Fredo has Nemesis listed but it's definitely Kaleth. Not sure who else would have noticed that besides me though.:) Typical opening match with all the spots you've come to expect from these guys. Fenix has yet to seemingly find a rudo he can work fluidly with. I guess Macho II is the closest he has come so far but even they had troubles. Kaleth was okay and used some moves you don't normally see in the openers but it wasn't enough to make this memorable. Tecnicos win.

Fantasma Jr./Kung Fu Jr./Vertigo vs Black Terry/Fantasma De La Opera/Xibalba: PLEASE tell me you weren't expecting a good match with those three tecnicos! They may as well be called bland, blander and blandest. The rudos looked good bumping around but that's about all that can be said about this one. IWRG constantly loses points with me for booking these scrubs and wasting a valuable tercera or semi-main. Vertigo I can understand b/c he's the Arena Aztahuacan booker and gets IWRG guys matches on his show. Kung Fu Jr. does nothing and draws nobody. Same for Fantasma Jr. although I guess it's a favor to Fantasma who is on the commision. Why can't we get the more talented Hijo Del Fantasma instead?

Dr. Cerebro & Cerebro Negro vs Mazada & Shigeo Okumura - IWRG Intercontinental Tag Team Titles Bout: Alright match. Started slow and then turned into your standard beatdown/comeback match. Cerebro Negro/Mazada kept being pushed as the big singles feud. They didn't do too many nearfalls in the third fall and instead went with the approach where Dr. Cerebro and Okumura both got eliminated early which turned it into a singles match. The finish was weird as Cerebro Negro grabbed Mazada for a tombstone but Mazada countered with a crazy headscissors driver type move which spiked Cerebro Negro on his head and earned the rudo a DQ so the Cerebros could keep their belts. You can see the spot I'm talking about right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3c-ozYaLUI

La Parka/Felino/Negro Casas vs Pierroth/Black Warrior/Damian 666: Usual stuff. Felino had on a cool black outfit which seemed to motivate him a LITTLE extra but not enough to save this from being your typical lucha by numbers match. Parka and Pierroth feuded with Parka ending up wrestling with only half his face covered by what was left of his mask. Low blows were the story of the finish.

Disapointing episode. I expected more from the tag title match and main event.
