Who’s who?

Vangellys is the strange looking guy with white hair and bizarre contacts in. He is wearing a full black with white accent shirt and pants.

While Pierroth starts in a white suit which he ditches after the first fall for black trunks. He also has long black hair to contrast with Vangellys short white hair.

Vangellys seemed like he was going to work with Los Ingobernables, but ended up getting kicked away by them so he has instead targeted their leader Pierroth in hopes of humiliating Ingobernables for not letting him join them.



How’s the match?

This is a match that I don’t think lots of people were expecting to be great and it lived up to that expectation. It was a 2/3 falls match that basically had one move for each fall that decided it. While it wasn’t awful, it was a little boring and tame. The spots they did were fine, but it just didn’t feel like wrestling as much as a spotfest with 3 spots. Which isn’t a very exciting spotfest, more like a spot gathering.

Who’s who?

Mistico and Caristico have nearly identical looks as Caristico was the original Mistico back in the mid 2000′s. The way to tell them apart most times when they are teaming is that Caristico has red detailing around the eyes. Meanwhile their 3rd Dragon Lee is younger brother to current Mistico and is wearing a white mask with white briefs instead of the pants the rest of the field is wearing.

Meanwhile Los Hijos del Infierno consists of the leader Mephisto with the yellow mask, Ephesto with the horned mask and their 3rd in a red mask Luciferino who was also nice enough to wear a shift with his name on it.

How’s the match?

Really great! If for whatever reason you read these, but don’t watch the matches I would rate this and the next match as MUST WATCH. They are both fantastic and the peak of lucha libre action, you could nitpick with one or two mess ups in both, but I think the action was hot and so was the crowd. Which really made both contests feel epic.

Los Hijos del Infierno continue to make a case for why they should be the trio to usurp the CMLL Trios Champions Sky Team(Volador Jr., Mistico and Valiente). They worked great as a unit here and with Mistico/Caristico we were seeing double. It’s a really fun trios match and really make some of the other recently high card trios matches look poor in comparison.

Who’s who?

Volador Jr. is in the blue briefs and kneepads, he also has the distinction of being the longest reigning current singles champion in CMLL. NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship for 1277 days the longest reigning champion in that belts short 7 year history.

While Ultimo Guerrero is a few years older and wearing long b lack pants with blue accents. Ultimo is no pushover he himself being the 2nd longest reigning “Promoted” singles title holder with 684 days as champion.

How’s the match?

Great! As I said above I’d really consider it must watch. This is one of the most important singles matches of the year and it showed by how much time it got and how much both men pulled out. I particularly loved Ultimo Guerrero using the fucking Rainmaker!!! I love it when wrestling companies aren’t afraid to basically reference other companies.

Like I said last week on this wrap up… I’m not exactly excited to see Ultimo in this spot because it made the outcome seem obvious. Ultimo has already won CMLL’s Universal Championship twice which no one else has done. Had he been tied for that accolade a 3rd win might make sense, but since that’s not the case it seemed obvious Volador Jr. was going to get the win here.

Which he did and it lead to… people throwing money, a sign of respect in Mexico. I initally thought they were just throwing random bits of paper before being corrected on Reddit. Boy, I feel dumb.

Makes sense as the two put on a clinic to win that prestigious CMLL Universal belt. Ultimo and Volador Jr. had a post match show of respect, which was nice. Even though I think Ultimo might have been a bad choice for storytelling reason it’s hard to argue against him being in that spot when he has a potentially 5 star performance with Volador Jr.

Perhaps a Dragon Lee or Negro Casas could have that good a performance with Volador Jr., but Ultimo Guerrero showed why he is one of the most beloved luchadors in CMLL. ‘The last of his kind’ showed how good of a match he could have and Volador Jr. did as well and got the most important singles tournament win under his belt to prove it. Really a fantastic 20 minute bout, between two of the best workers in the business… a must watch for anyone who wants to be on the up and up of current CMLL.
