The undercard provides the real fireworks
The March 21 edition of Sábado De Coliseo at Arena Coliseo proved that the opening matches often outshine the top of the card. The trios action featured a frantic pace, with younger luchadores clearly hungry to prove they belong in the Arena México rotation.
Technical proficiency remained high across the board. The crowd responded loudest to the mid-card sequences, particularly when high-risk dives spilled into the front row during the second bout.
Main event frustrations
The headliner failed to capture the same energy, dragging through a series of repetitive holds that stalled the show's momentum. While the talent involved is undeniable, the chemistry felt forced rather than organic.
The pacing in the final fall simply didn't match the intensity we saw earlier in the night.
This critique from BodySlam.net's full report highlights a recurring issue in CMLL's weekly programming. When the main event relies on slow-burn psychology without a clear narrative hook, the audience inevitably checks out.
What this means for the roster
Management needs to reconsider the current booking hierarchy. If the opening performers are consistently generating more noise than the veterans, it is time to shuffle the lineup.
The promotion is currently sitting at a 3-hour runtime for these events, which feels excessive given the lack of stakes in the final matches. Cutting 20 minutes of filler would do wonders for the show's overall flow.
