Pre-Havana Pitbulls, as Reyes and Romero are going by the ‘Los Gringos’ name, however because there is only one distant hard cam filming this I can’t differentiate between who is who. It would’ve been the same for their opposition if it wasn’t for the fact you could hear the crowd shouting for them when they were in the ring. Although this was a tag match it didn’t follow any traditional formula and almost felt like a bunch of singles matches (the fact that the face team only made four tags all match in a longish bout added to that). ‘Los Gringos’ already look like a decent unit, compact, strong fundamentals and with their double team moves down pat. Sun Warrior and Red Tornado are both new to me; the former being a Lucha stylist and someone who looks to have plenty of potential (he blows one headscissors badly, but that’s it), while Tornado is greener than his partner and the weakest of the four. The action is better when Warrior is in with the ‘Gringos’ and it’s very reminiscent of the ROH style from a few years down the line. Warrior and Tornado have a cool looking springboard ‘Hart Attack’, though it’s only used as a transitional move that they don’t even attempt a pin off. In fact it would be a better finisher than the one they used to pick up the pin (which was a Warrior moonsault bodyblock followed by a Tornado swanton). Both teams are jumped by another duo post-match which sets up a three way for next week.
