La Diabólica & Martha Villalobos v Pantera Sureña & Zuleyma (CMLL, 1/19/90)
This was alright. Most of Mexican women's wrestling is a total blind spot for me so I'm pretty sure I'd never seen any of these four previously. It started out with a nice exchange between Diabolica and Zuleyma where they were really whipping each other around the ring by the arm. Villalobos looks a bit like Mr. Pogo or maybe a sister of the Headhunters. She was a lot of fun as a big bully who was really a shitbag at heart. Lots of cheapshots before hightailing it, full of hubris while not actually wanting any part of the fight. The rudos turned it into a brawl pretty sharpish and it never settled back into a fair contest after that. They were always looking for shortcuts somewhere and I think Diabolica pleaded for the tecnicos to be DQd at one point because I guess Zuleyma dropkicked her in the tiddies. Second caida had the rudos run through the full playbook of miscommunication spots as the tecnicos had them on toast. Villalobos also took a bunch of amusing timber style bumps and accidentally squashed her partner many times.
Canelo Casas, Comando Ruso & Pánico v Ráfaga Azul, Remo Banda & Rokambole (CMLL, 1/19/90)
Perfectly fine midcard trios. I'm not familiar with a few of these guys so I was interested in seeing what your Rokamboles and Remo Bandas of the world were bringing to the table. Baby Heavy Metal was pretty fun in this as he went out of his way to act like a prick and took a couple quality bumps. The rudo unit in general were all good, actually. Casas' hair is exceptional and man is that a talented family with A+ genetics. I've only seen Panico a few times but he's usually an entertaining stooge and he was again here. Ruso was only really interested in engaging when the situation suited him and of course it riled the tecnicos up from start to finish. He had a few cool exchanges with Banda, the latter taking some picture perfect back body drops, really high angle with the rotation coming right at the last second. I bet peak Ruso and Panico would be a blast.
