[2001-01-07-Monterrey] Mr Niebla & Safari & Tarzan Boy vs El Dandy & Violencia & Pimpinela Escarlata

[ohtani's jacket]

This was a typical Monterrey bout. There was plenty of good action in the beginning but it turned into a clusterfuck at the end. That was largely due to the Tarzan Boy "is he or isn't he a rudo?" shit, which is easily the worst angle in wrestling at this point. It also had dubbed over commentary that sounded like it was recorded in somebody's living room and no crowd noise, which was jarring at times. I do appreciate Tarzan Boy's abilities as a worker even if I hate the angle that he's involved with, and he had a number of good exchanges with Dandy, who is continuing to work his way back into wrestling shape. There were some cool Dandy/Niebla exchanges in this, which isn't a match-up that immediately springs to mind when you think of Dandy's dance partners. Dandy, at this point, will never return to world class but he is falling back into the "very good" category which is good enough. Pimpi was Pimpi and everybody else chipped in here and there. The match ended up breaking down when Tarzan Boy and Safari got in each other's grill but the action was decent while it lasted.

Another beginner lucha match that didn’t progress any big storyline developments but was interesting enough while it was going on. TB and El Dandy had some fun interactions with each other and its also good to see Pimpinela.  Otherwise, nothing much of note, just a basic Monterrey tag. *** (6.1)
