Who’s who?

On the poster and Youtube description it says Rush, but I assume he got injured or was sick. So his alternate was Mistico which is a natural fit being Pierroth’s next son. Still his inclusion might confuse some because he and Caristico dress too similar! Have a fight guys, it’s confusing and someone should change their look.

Caristico has red eyes and that’s normally the best way to tell them apart, but for some reason Mistico’s pants have red trim which isn’t helpful at all. Pick a different accenting color! Caristico is teaming with Euforia in green/black Los Guerreros colors while Diamante Azul is wearing Blue as always.

On the other side we have Maskless Pierroth, his son Misito and the young unmasked man and 2017 Universal Champion Volador Jr. Another way to tell Mistico from Caristico would be that Caristico has a black shirt on for the first round.

This is part of a tournament CMLL is holding, but it’s really not a big deal and just an event they are holding in Puebla as an attraction their. It’s a dynamic shifter like Incredible Pairs… which is why the teams each have 1 rudo with 2 tecnicos.

How’s the match?

Fun, but it felt very house show-y which is par for the course for Arena Puebla most nights. The only matches that are immune from it are normally the title matches. Still Mistico/Caristico have really built a good chemistry together since Caristico came back. Here’s hoping Mistico(II) becomes La Sombra(II) or something as it would stop this Mistico/Caristico confusion and Ingobernables need to get their ranks up to 3 people to be a serious stable in CMLL no Offense to the duo or Pierroth and Rush.

Who’s who?

Niebla Roja(Red Mist) is obviously the masked man in red while Ultimo Guerrero is the maskless leader of Los Guerreros.

This is another chapter in their long rivalry that started about 2-3 months ago when Roja left Los Guerreros high and dry refusing to attack his real life brother Angel de Oro in trios action. You can see Angel de Oro in this match acting as Roja’s corner man.

How’s the match?

Good, much better than their other recent bouts. These two are obviously building to a blow off match so this feels a little like batting practice. Ultimo showed he can go last Friday when he and Volador Jr. clashed in the Universal Tournament Finals. So this feud will be a proving ground for Roja, does he have what it takes to be a big singles tecnico for CMLL? Or will he fall back down the ranks and become a stooge again?

PS I’ll be going a little lighter on these recaps during the G1 Climax, but I will still at least highlight 1 match from each CMLL show. I’ll go back to highlighting 3 matches from each show after the G1 Finals.
