Becoming a weekly tradition seeing Olimpico get the shit kicked out of him. Just when I think it can’t get worse, he is a bloody mess here and seems to have a new feud brewing with Panther. I’m game. Panther presents the bloody Olimpico around for the crowd to see. Panther is licking his hands with the blood of Olimpico. Rancor gets in on the action and also holds Mr. Niebla at bay. Tecnicos come back and Olimpico gets a big measure of revenge with a huge dive to the outside. Niebla gets a good chance to shine now and he looks impressive in there with Panther. He wins the first fall but after a hot bit of action, Panther locks on the arm breaker to obtain the second fall. Olimpico comes back in and rips Panther’s mask. Panther locks on the submission but Olimpico is in the ropes. He then tugs with all his might on the mask until he gets it DQ’ing his team for not listening to the referees commands. So now we have Infernales vs. TB and Co, Atlantis vs. Villano III, Guapos vs. Casas and Co, and Olimpico vs. Panther. What a hot company. ***1/4

Hey, you know what CMLL needs -- another hot blood feud! Now Atlantis-Villano III, Satanico-Tarzan Boy and Blue Panther-Olimpico are all going strong and I suspect there's more depth to come. I love this company and can safely say it's the best in the world. This is only 8 minutes but it's a total adrenaline rush and has a complete beginning, middle and end, so I have no problem calling it a great match. Olimpico does a five-alarm blade job after Panther goes after his mask with a vengeance before Olimpico returns the favor at not quite the same level of vitriol, almost like this is a new level of aggression for him. Someone can confirm or deny that, but watching this at least seems like growth for him. All the mask ripping and retribution is really excellent, and Olimpico's blood-soaked topes are just awesome. Ready for more of this feud! ****

This may be the third best feud in CMLL, but it's freaking outstanding!!! The match is basically Blue Panther murdering Olimpico, until he makes a comeback with the other two having a fine match in the ring and away from them. It was short (about 8 minutes), but filled with hate and action. *** 3/4

The fascinating thing about this is all 4 guys are still major players in the top 2 companies in Mexico these days. That's not very common in these 2000 matches. Olimpico bleeds buckets. So much that Panther is wearing his blood. Not sure if this lead to anything but it's a hell of a start. Love the bloody bullet tope by Olimpico.

The first few minutes of this caught me off guard. Blue Panther licking the gushing forehead of Olimpico was some awesome shit. I loved the spill Mr. Niebla took when Rancor just slaps him out of the ring. CMLL really knows how to make their technicos look valiant and tough as hell as Olimpico fights back with a vengeance and busts out the bloody tope and reverses a double team attack to go after Panther some more. This was a super heated match and yet another reason to prioritize all things CMLL in this time period.

Not sure how much of this is clipped but for such a short segment it was awesome. The physicality between Olimpico and Blue Panther was so great. Panther trying to get Olimpico's blood on the fans in the front row was something I've never seen before.

 

It is shocking how much better CMLL is than the rest of the world at the point. I can't wait for each new match.

What an amazing and disgusting spectacle. Olimpico just gushes blood in this one in disgusting fashion and Blue Panther licks the blood up like a manic. This just oozes with hatred, but has some nice lucha exchanges as well. This is short but very effective and I loved every minute of it.

Not content with two blood feuds, CMLL decide to add a third. This is some old school booking from CMLL. It reminds me of the early 80s when they'd have an apuesta match nearly every week. This was a bit different as it was being booked toward a mano a mano and not a mask vs. mask match, but you wouldn't know from the bloodshed, Olympic bled buckets and Panther's mask was so badly ripped at the end that you could see his face years ahead of his unmasking. I'm often critical of Panther as a rudo, but I thought he was excellent here. When you think of Panther, you don't think of a worker who licks another man's blood from his fingers or parades his bloodied foe for others to see, but that was the Panther we got here and it was quite a surprise. The match was short because it was a one night tournament and lucha tournament matches are notoriously short, but it packed a fair-sized punch for such a short match.

This was a weird one. We have Blue Panther almost playfully taunting the crowd by pushing Olimpico on them as smiling people push back. When we go back to the pair, Olimpico is just gushing blood. Blue Panther is a major sicko, smearing the blood over Olimpico's chest and then licking his fingers. Then, when we get Niebla and Rencor Latino in the ring, Niebla is rolling Rencor into a ball, like it's a comedy match. With Olimpico making a comeback, mask ripping action ensues, leading to Panther's disqualification. Panther comes off despicable in this one, and it makes me wish I had voted him higher in GWE. CMLL's hot streak continues.
