CMLL 11/1/2024 Rey Del Inframundo 2024

Everything is Dia de los Muertos themed for this one with skeleton guardians, ring girls and refs wearing facepaint. They also dimmed the lights so all the neon colors glow.

Pequeno Olimpico, Pequeno Violencia & Pierrothito vs. Galaxy, Shockercito & Ultimo Dragoncito

UD = Ultimo Dragoncito, Vio = Pequeno Violencia, Olim = Pequeno Olimpico

Pier and Gal start us off. They trip each other and stand off. Gal armdrags him and uses the ropes to armdrag him.  Olim and UD go at it. UD backrolls him and they stand off soon after. Vio and Shock get in. Vio waistlock takedowns him and Shock armdrags him. Shock hits a dropkick. Shock is hiptossed into the ropes and he armdrags off of it. He then headscissors Vio out.

Gal and Pier get in. Gal walks up the buckles and is in tree of woe. Pier stomps on Gal and boots him. Gal takes a double hiptoss into a triple powerbomb. Vio and Olim then stomp on Gal. Shock gets triple teamed. He is held in the air for a dropkick to the butt.

UD counters a triple team and his partners hit springboard diving armdrags. UD's team then does triple topes out. They get back in and UD pins Olim. Gal springboard dropkicks Vio then top rope moonsaults him outside. Shock springboard crossbodies Pier and has him tapped out with la atlantida's but the ref doesn't see it as he's arguing with Olim. Pier low blows shock and pins him.

Thoughts: Starting the show off with a dirty finish is a brave move. It was more acceptable than some other ones though as it was believable and made sense. The match was a little on the shorter end and was nothing of note.

Pier and UD talk on the mic after.

Thoughts: The earlier falls were better than the last fall, which was a bit short. It was alright. Not great or memorable but Dulce had good timing here. I think this did what it was supposed to.

Thoughts: It was a little hard to follow with the lighting being darker and the match being faster, making it tougher to figure out who was who. It was your usual average women's match for the most part.

The skeleton guards drag the losers of the match out with a lot of resistance.  

Atlantis Jr. helps show off some new CMLL themed tennis racket in the ring.

BC = Barbaro Cavernario

It's kind of funny here as everyone is wearing Halloween themed stuff but Barboza and Difunto do that normally anyway and didn't need to change much. Cavernario has someone with him with a bears head and a stick with a skull on it.

Thoughts: I wasn't a fan of it. It went long. Cavernario was in there a bit too long despite being more limited and the booking was weird as Xelhua was put over early then got eliminated. I didn't feel like Difunto got to show enough here and I didn't think they did a great job in building him to win. 

Dif is then given a title belt and a skull on a stick.

Thoughts: It was a decent main here. Not great or anything and maybe it went a little long but I was fine with it. It was not a strong main on paper. I thought Mistico put out a good effort in this one and Neon's flying was on target.

Esfinge gets beat up after by the heels after some arguing on the mic. Esf flying headscissors and topes guards after then the guards beat up on him. Mit then top rope dives onto guards outside.

Overall thoughts: It wasn't one of my more favorite CMLL shows. The lighting and the costumes made it hard to figure out who was who and was a little rough on the eyes. The semi-main got the most time on this but didn't deliver. The main was weak on paper but was okay. The Dia de los Muertos stuff was the selling point of this and everything else was really second to it. CMLL did do a nice job making the show stick out and be an attraction though. I would give this a 6 out of 10 but wouldn't recommend it.
