An alright show last night with Black Tiger ushering in the New Japan Invasion of CMLL (yay!), as well as the return of Gigante Silva, who reintroduced the awkward, one-fall handicapped match to the Galavision show (boo!). |

 The Wagner/Bucanero/Takemura match was really good. Wagner and Bucanero seem to look good in any trio the bookers stick them in, and together they were even better. I also really liked the exchanges between Negro Casas and Takemura (and how great was it when Casas got the red mist right in the kisser?). Although a little scrawny, the
Japanese rudos in the main event seemed like real killers.

Silvas back, (insert
standard Silva joke here). As much as I cringe when he's in the ring, I was a little impressed when he was carrying both Panther and Fuerza around the ring. I won't take a shot at the mediocre 'Jrs' in the opener, as they really weren't that bad. And while not really stupid, as it aids the overall feud, I wish the main would've went three falls, so Shocker could have gotten revenge on Shibata for that wicked kick he game him.
