[2000-03-24-CMLL] Atlantis & Perro Aguayo & Rayo de Jalisco Jr vs Villano III & Shocker & Bestia Salvaje

[Loss]

The first televised meeting of Atlantis and Villano III after 3/17. There isn't really much for them to settle at this point, as they left it all in the ring one week earlier, so they wrestle some nice mat exchanges to start us off. It's the rest of the match that's a bit more spirited, particularly when Perro is in with Salvaje. This is also when Villano's turn was first teased, as he was hesistant to join in the beatdown on Perro. This was kind of a rebuilding match, but the match came together pretty well. ***1/4

Some nice grappling from Atlantis and Shocker to start. The laid back feel of the match to start reminds me more of 90s CMLL, so far 2000 has reminded me more of 2017 CMLL. Salvaje does a nice job creating movement around Aguayo (I think that’s a term I read in the Torch about 14 years ago), I love seeing Perro in there. Shocker liked that Dustin Rhodes 360 bump when he was younger. Is Rayo’s leg legit stuck in a chair leaving Aguayo to represent the team? Did they improvise that finish? This never really reached the next level, decent but there’s much better to see from CMLL.

I didn't realise the start of Villano's turn started so soon. He and atlantis do some good match wrestling to start. Perro must really like working with Bestia. I guess that's cause bestia almost always made him look good. OK match that continues to set up matches later.
