Suicida/Los Traumas vs Dr. Cerebro/Black Lancer/Carta Brava Jr., ??? 1/1

First fall had a couple of minute of dandy Cerebro/T2 matwork. Nothing mind-blowing, but all pretty tight. I guess I would be more impressed if I saw it from other workers, but the standard for these guys is high. Second fall was your standard rudo beatdown. Again, nothing that'll blow you away, but it was all spirited and lively. Having never seen either of Cerebro's partners before, they both seemed competetant. The third fall breaks down and we get some decent brawling, including a brutal slingshot double-stomp from T2 on Brava Jr. There is an awesome moment where Lancer rips his shirt off and tries to go toe-to-toe with T1 and gets smacked down, and Cerebro just starts yelling at him and firing up on the apron. The submission T2 used for the finish was totally sick looking, but in the end this was a solid match and nothing more.


Black Terry/Negro Navarro/Mascara Ano Dos Mil Jr. v. Ultimo Dragon/Ultraman/Solar, ??? 1/1

There was a pretty weak Utlimo/Dos Mil exchange at the start of this but fortunately it wasn't long before Solar and Navarro tagged in. On the scale of things, this was probably one of the weaker Solar/Navarro match-ups in recent memory though. Not to say it wasn't good but there was nothing really new or particularly stand-out about it. Maybe they have become victims of over-exposure with the introduction of BT Jr.? There is a breif Terry vs Solar mach-up, but otherwise Terry was left to work with the visibly over-the-hill Ultraman and 2011 Ultimo. I like Ultimo more than most, but in 2011 he doesn't bring anything to the table, and sadly this match looked much better on paper than it turned out to be and had nothing going for it outside the Solar/Navarro stuff.
