Negro Casas has no Friends!

Negro Casas, Black Magic & Mogur v El Dandy, Pierroth Jr. & Chamaco Valaguez (CMLL, 8/1/93)

I stuck this on late last night because I wanted to watch something relatively short with Negro Casas in it before I went to sleep. I barely registered the participants until it started and oh it's Negro Casas v El Dandy I bet that'll be good. Honestly, it didn't feel like a whole lot actually happened in this. There wasn't a ton of actual wrestling and really the only pairing that seemed to get any consistent time together was Mogur v Chamaco Valaguez. Those two were the team captains and I guess it was setting up an apuestas, so that made sense. Ring time for the others was sort of scarce, and most of what they did was needling on the apron or around the ring without properly coming to blows inside it. So in that sense it wasn't much of a match, but it WAS 20 minutes of Negro Casas running around like an idiot. By the end I think everyone wanted to take a swing at him and that's including his own teammates. He and Dandy paired off, such as it were, and it was niggly and Dandy was ready to scrap and Casas really wasn't. At a few points he tried reasoning with Dandy, then for a brief second they started trading blows, then Casas patted him on the chest like "okay big man you win" and he just walked away. In the tercera Casas and Black Magic got into a shouting contest over something or other and Magic was ready to scrap in their own corner. Casas, of course, really wasn't. The best part was when Magic went down from a gut shot and started claiming he'd been fouled, and Casas just stepped in and wagged his finger in his face, calling out the bullshit for what it was. If I could've had anything here it would've been an extended Casas/Dandy section, one where they actually get to wrestle, or failing that, punch each other in the face for a while. If not that then some Casas v Pierroth. We never got either of those things and I'm not sure that what we did get was the next best thing, but I'll also never complain about 20 minutes of Negro Casas acting the fool.
