Panico and Remo Banda; the 1990 CMLL Undercard!

Remo Banda & Super Gallo v El Panico & Simbolo (CMLL, 1/26/90)

This might've been a follow-up to the previous week's trios where Remo Banda and Panico were on opposite sides. I don't remember if it was the central pairing there, or even if they got more tetchy with each other than usual, but they clearly had beef coming into this and Panico didn't feel like getting into a fist fight over it. Instead he snuck in a few times and threw Banda around by the hair, which naturally had Remo pissed. I don't know how good Banda and Gallo actually are but Panico was a fun broken down rudo yet again and Simbolo brought some fun shtick of his own. They also ramped up the nastiness in the segunda, and while it might not sound like much, Simbolo really made it look like he was holding Banda in place so Panico could lay into him. There was no half-hearted grabbing and standing in place; he hooked both arms and locked him on the spot, like Banda was actively going to try and escape and Simbolo needed to be ready for it. It's a little thing but it's a noticeable one when you've seen five million garden variety rudo beatdowns.
