[2000-05-09-CMLL] Neutron & Olimpico & Safari vs Halcon Negro & Arkangel de la Muerte & Rencor Latino

[soup23]

Always nice to check in on the CMLL B team. This was a good intro match that served as a nice buffer from the stuff we have watched chronologically. Some good sequences and dives. Safari especially hits a wild tope that clears out a few rows of the Arena Coliseo crowd. Neutron started earlier than I would have imagined given his current output. His look is awesome here but workrate was just so so. **1/2

Neutron's looks is outstanding.Olimpico seems to have fallen down on the totem pole working with these guys. Some fun stuff and dives including Neutron moonsault to the outside and almost breaking his ankle. Also enjoyed Rencor tripping Halcon. Good Arena Coliseo match.

This was supposed to be a fast paced match with plenty of flying but the action was middling. The dives were all right but the bout could have done with more classic lucha exchanges to set up the dive trains. The rudos didn't show much character and no-one stood out from the tecnico side. There was a large contingent of tecnico fans in attendance but if this showcase was for them then it fell kind of flat.

[Moonsault Marvin]

This seemed to be about the big dives and not much else. The hold by Safari at the end of the first fall was interesting looking. Neutron looked hurt after the moonsault at the end.
