[2000-10-19-IWRG] Felino & Villano III & Villano IV vs Bombero Infernal & Criptor & Enterrador

[soup23]

Really solid lucha and some guys we havent seen much at all on the rudo side. I was really impressed with Criptor as him and Villano IV in particular had some rock solid mat exchanges against each other. Enterrador did less for me and felt more like a warm body. Infernal continues to be one of my fav sleaze indie luchadors and his interactions with III here were a highlight. IWRG continues its strong year. ***1/4 (6.5)

Prior to this we get an undercard bout with Alan Stone, Black Dragon and Moto Cross vs. El Hijo del Gladiador, Mega and Super Mega. A short match but the action is quick. I was impressed with El Hijo del Gladiador as the glue holding the rudo side together. I didn't think he'd be that good in a match where the pace was quicker.

 

The bout listed here was moderately entertaining. It showed promise in the beginning with Villano V doing a real fun Mendoza-family style opening exchange. The rudos looked fun and it was a chance to catch up with Felino who we haven't seen in a while and for some reason isn't being featured in the top of the card CMLL stuff. And his new trios team hasn't been showcased in a while either. But it ate up a good 15 minutes without ever hitting its stride and there wasn't a heck of a lot to get excited over. Personally, I liked the first match more.
