[2000-02-29-CMLL] Emilio Charles Jr & Mr Niebla & Tinieblas Jr vs Fuerza Guerrera & Scorpio Jr & Violencia

[soup23]

Some more solid lucha action. I though Emilio got to show more fire here than what we have seen in most of the trios as he really goes after Scorpio and Violenca at different points. Fuerza still is someone that always captivates me when he is in a match even though I don’t know if he has ever had a MOTYC in any given year. Much like Juvy in that way. More groundwork for the 3/17 show with all of these guys seemingly going to be involved. ***

Emilio looks like he's itching to turn back rudo. He's fired up and hitting people in the nuts right in front of the old man refs. Loved Fuerza slapping Niebla and then running into the turnbuckle. Tinieblas being in this promotion just cracks me up. He's so much taller than everyone else it's ridiculous. Should have put him with Silva. Anyways, the match is basically just to build up the ppv I guess. Not bad.

Not much to report about here. Emilio tried to breathe some life into things with a spirited comeback after being fouled in the primera caida, but aside from the old lucha trope of the tecnico fouling the rudo back there wasn't much to this.

Not much to say about this one. One takeaway is that low-effort CMLL is probably more entertaining than low-effort from any other type of wrestling. There's not guys sitting around in chinlocks, there's stuff happening, structure, just not particularly engaging.
