[2000-03-31-CMLL] Solar & Starman vs Halcon Negro & Karloff Lagarde Jr

[ohtani's jacket]

Anytime you get an opportunity to see Solar you take it. Even if it's a match where there's nothing at stake. Most workers would be forgiven for mailing it during bouts like these but Solar was such a consummate professional that he gave a quality performance even when CMLL asked him to go out there and shepherd guys. You wish they'd given him a bigger role at times but crumbs like this will do. I enjoyed Halcon Negro's work in the late 90s but he had a repackaged look here that seemed destined for the scrapheap. And the less said about Lagarde's peroxide look the better. Starman was an Ultraman knockoff and to say he was rough around the edges would be putting it politely. The match had little going for in terms of talent but it did have Solar. He marshaled them about, wrestled for everyone and made up for all three guys. Just like he always did.
