At the beginning of the match, a masked man accompanied Los Perros del Mal to the ring. He leapt onto the turnbuckle ropes and revealed himself as Shocker before putting on a Los Perros del Mal t-shirt and leaving the ring. I always thought it was anticlimactic how CMLL would introduce wrestlers to the crowd then have them leaving ringside. You'd think they were so Americanized at this point that they'd have them involved in the finish. He did have an altercation with Rey Bucanero on the ramp, so it wasn't a total waste, but still it's like hey, Shocker's back, here's a match.

It was actually a pretty long match by CMLL standards, though if you tallied the amount of action wrestling in the bout it probably wound up being the same as a regular match. This was a Los Perros del Mal heavy match. If you like their shtick then you'll enjoy this bout. I know a lot of people like Garza's stuff, and he has some fun moments in this. My favorite part was when a guy in the tecnico section was taunting Perro with a giant dog biscuit. Los Perros were interesting in that while there have always been successful trios groups in Mexico, with the amount of t-shirts and merch they sold, they were over in a way that I can't remember any other faction being. They were almost like CMLL's version of the NWO. They sure as heck wrestled like the NWO. And as with the NWO, you know there's no real end game to this. Yet there's no denying that they packed in the fans.
