[2003-04-18-CMLL] Shocker & Mascara Magica & Terrible vs Atlantis & Hijo de Lizmark & Negro Casas

[ohtani's jacket]

This was a better showing from the Guapos, though they still don't have a lot of chemistry as a trio. The rudos and tecnicos joined together at the beginning to pay their respects to Ray Mendoza, who had passed away a few days earlier. Then they started the match on the mat where the great man had been so proficient. There was a lot to like about this match. I really liked Atlantis vs. Magica, and Casas finally woke up and did something in 2003. They gave us a smidgeon of Casas vs. Shocker. Can you imagine how good that match could have been if they'd worked it like Shocker vs. Ultimo or Shocker/Vampiro? More impressive, though, was how good Shocker made Lizmark look. I actually found myself enjoying a Lizmark Jr performance for the first time. You can officially put Shocker in the same category as Rey Bucanero, i.e. guys who made both Vampiro and Lizmark look good. I guess this means Shocker is better as a rudo. He's certainly making the most out of the circumstances.
