[2002-06-07-CMLL] Rey Bucanero & Ultimo Guerrero & Tarzan Boy vs Shocker & Mascara Magica & El Hijo del Santo

[ohtani's jacket]

This was another excellent bout. The focal points were the captains battle between Shocker and Tarzan Boy and the rivalry between Santo and Ultimo. The Santo vs. Ultimo Guerrero mask vs. mask match never happens, we know that in 2021, but I'm glad they ran with it as a follow up feud to the tag titles switch. It's an apuestas match I would have loved to have seen. Shocker and Tarzan Boy reignite their rivalry and have some excellent exchanges. We get a glimpse or two of Shocker vs. Ultimo in this, which feels like the future of lucha libre, but Shocker mostly works with Tarzan Boy, and I realized in this bout that I have fully accepted Tarzan Boy as a worker. I am now pretty much pro-Tarzan Boy and thought he looked great here .
