It looks like Satanico has freshly lost a apuestas match and had his hair shaved again. Wagner and Casas really go after each other in the first fall and it ends with Wagner giving Casas the Splash Mountain for the pin. The crowd is rapid for Porky on the inside with huge chants for him. The tecnico comeback in the second fall is predictably excellent with Casas going nuts on Wagner and Porky repeatedly banging Bestia’s head into the turnbuckle. Satanico tries to go for his fake foul spot but no one is buying that this time. Porky gets his huge splash to a gigantic pop to end the second fall. Awesome. A nice long shot of Arena Mexico before the third fall shows how packed the crowd is. Third fall starts with some great Porky comedy as Bestia keeps headbutting his stomach but that just gets him to hit Satanico stuck in the corner with his butt. Wagner and Casas are then in and the match is more heated and vicious. Porky does another dive from the apron and the rudos are cleared out except for Wagner and Casas. The crowd is molten and Wagner goes after the legs with a dropkick. Casas is able to get the La Magistral for a nearfall and then another one off of a Wagner powerbomb attempt. Wagner is booked to be really resourceful as he does get the nearfall but ends up landing on the referee on the kickout. Bestia is having his leg tended to on the outside. Wagner is frustrated enough and fouls Casas for the tecnico win. What an awesome way to start the night. This was the greatest hits highlights for these guys but they are some of the best workers of all time, so it really landed and had the crowd going crazy. **** (7.8)

Lots of fun stuff built around Porky. The big splash onto everyone in the second fall, which looked like it hurt tremendously. He and Salvaje slaughtering each other with punches outside the ring. Porky using his fat to turn defense into offense and pop the crowd. I really thought that Casas looked great in this. A really solid match that didn't rise past that level but this is good stuff.

 

***1/2

What a great rudo team. That's the type of team I'd put together if I had the book. You could tell this was a big show as the work was stiffer than usual and guys were selling so hard they almost blew a gasket. The highlight was seeing Wagner and Casas go at it. They may have faced each other in Japan but I can't remember them ever having a clash like this at Arena Mexico. Casas was in fine form and Wagner once again showed his immense talent. He looked as though he could rule the lucha world if promoters weren't afraid to give him the keys. Satanico and Porky did Satanico and Porky things and Lizmark Jr. coped all right. Satanico was fresh off another hair loss to Tarzan Boy (this time at Arena Puebla) which must have been a blow to his ego. He was brimming with confidence, though, as you'd expect from the great one. The finish promised to be throw down between Casas and Wagner but soon it became obvious that neither was going to job cleanly. Despite the cop out at the end this ticked all the boxes for a bit of entertainment to fill out the card.

Man the Wagner/Casas parts of this were so great. Just two bulls going at each other. Wagner destroys him with a powerbomb and the next fall, casas nails him with a punch. Always fun to see flying porky. Looks like he takes out Bestia's leg with the catch of Porky's dive. Loved the ending with Casas taunting Wagner by showing his ass while the producer is trying to get Wagner to leave. Real fun match.
