soup23 Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 The tag match from the night before is split off into two singles matches. This had some moments of glimpses but was pretty sloppy overall. Chulo is someone that definitely has to have someone reign in his spottiness and Spanky is not the person to do it. Lita seems to have much more heat than Chulo and even executes a better moonsault at the finish. **1/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Evans Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 This match would have been done in silence if it wasn't for Lita. I like Papi Chulo but he needs a good base to make his stuff look good and Spanky isn't that. I was hoping this would be worked more lucha style but it wasn't.

Robert S Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Papi Chulo is really sloppy here, for example he overshot so much on the moonsault that I am really surprised that they still decided to go with that as the finish. It's not really surprising that he was doing job duties on C shows quite soon after this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Good reaction to Rios on his introductions, to the point that the crowd are actually booing Spanky. They start a “Lita, Lita” chant and Rios invites her into the ring, making out he’s going to let her wrestle the match for him, only to attack Spanky when he’s not looking. He’s got some bad looking punches but better chops. Whip to the corner, Spanky with the tip up over the charging Rios and a dropkick to the back. Release overhead belly to back sees Essa land on his feet and barely connect with a dropkick of his own. Arm drag takedown, but a Spanky drop toe hold sends him crashing head first into the bottom turnbuckle. Satellite headscissors and Spanky counters the tilt-a-whirl backbreaker with an arm drag right out of Lucha Libre. Essa blocks the huracanrana and just dumps Spanky to the canvas. He drapes him over the middle rope and distracts the official giving Lita the opportunity to choke him, much to the approval of this pro-Lita crowd. Spinning heel kick followed by a Tornado DDT, and he’s back distracting the ref so Lita can give him a Tornado DDT of her own. Only a two mind as Spanky kicks out of the pin. Essa sits him on the top turnbuckles, but Spanky kicks him in the arm as he’s about to punch him. Leaping ‘Spankensteiner’ off the middle! He heads upstairs, but Rios is up and brings him back down with an arm drag off the top. Moonsault (which he overshoots) and Essa gets three for the win. Lita with a post-match moonsault and the two of them count a further three on Spanky. I said that last night the reaction she got should indicate that Lita has got a bright future ahead of her, I’ll add to that now that she is clearly the star of this act. The big pop that Rios got on his introduction was almost certainly down to her, as evidenced by how they reacted to him during the match as compared to when she did her spots. Rios actually looked pretty green at times in there, the match itself was fairly sloppy and the execution was off in places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laney Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 This one isn't that good. Essa pretty much eats Spanky alive and does a bunch of spots. Just a bunch of moves with no coherency. Lita is very over though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
