Thanks to cellphone videos uploaded to Youtube, we are in a golden age of sub-20-year-old flippy indie luchadors. Skalibur is not the flashiest by far, but he makes up for that with great selling and pacing of his matches. Lucha cage matches are often painful but he does a great job of holding together and moving along the 1/1 cage match. The Ricky Marvin match is fantastic and it's not just a carry job. Skalibur's timing of his comebacks is great, and his selling is great as well but it helps that lucha is a shoot. | PROMOTION NAME | NAME OF SHOW | DATE OF SHOW | MATCH | NOTES | RATING | LINK | | indy | Arena Nacionalista | 1/1/2018 | Skalibur vs. Principe Negro Jr. vs. Platino vs. Estudiante Jr. vs. Galactico vs. Galaxy | I skipped this at first because lucha cage matches are a beast but this is pretty fun. Skalibur is great, as usualy, bumping all over and really moving things along well. Estudiante Jr. is also really good playing the bigger, hossier heel. Fun stuff. | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSCaxNQbg34&feature=youtu.be | | Reyna | Parque Cenetario | 1/6/2018 | Kamik-C, Skalibur vs. Hijo de Tempestad Guerrera, Tempestad Guerrera Jr. | Fun, sloppy super indie match. Not sloppy in execution but sloppy in pacing and overkill. If you like skinny indie kids flipping and taking big bumps and chairshots, etc., this is for you. | 3 1/2 | youtu.be/kr8YARI8dD4 | | indy | Arena Nacionalista, Mexicali | 1/21/2018 | Galactico vs. Skalibur | Skalibur is wearing a Majiin Buu outfit, so this already rules. Good well built match leading up to a . . . Canadian Destroyer. The crowd is noticeably less hype after that spot but it is near the end so it doesn't completely kill the match. Fun stuff. | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3yTclnCBO8 | | indy | Arena Nacionalista, Mexicali | 1/28/2018 | Skalibur vs. Black Danger | Incredibly disappointing | 2 3/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x-p00PrTnQ | | LLI | Arena Nacionalista Mexicali | 2/10/2018 | Boy Cool, Koto Hiro vs. Kamik-C, Skalibur | Some good mat work to start and some cool spots although the match drags a bit and Skalibur is a lot better than everybody else. | 3 1/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=lq-20f6hp8Q | | indy | Arena Nacionalista | 3/11/2018 | Galactico, Kamik-C, Skalibur vs. Arkangel Divno, Black Danger, Black Boy | Flips! Flips and Canadian Destroyers! This was pretty fun! | 3 3/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lh6PHuPaFY | | indy | Arena Nacionalista | 3/25/2018 | Kamik-C, Skalibur, Galactico vs. Dark Warrior, Tempestad Guerrera Jr., Thunder Kid | 4:20 Bros looked good again. Fun match. | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgsNrDe0ZM0 | | indy | Arena Nacionalista | 4/1/2018 | Kamik-C, Skalibur vs. Mr. Tempest, Estudainte Jr. | Clipped. This starts out with the rudos beating downt he 4:20 Bros for a while, which they sell and bump for perfectly. There comeback spot is slightly messed up, but this is really fun as the 4:20 Bros found some (relatively) big boys to bounce them around. | 3 3/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=edO5Lc9XmWg | | indy | Arena Nacionalista | 4/1/2018 | Skalibur, Kamik-C vs. Arkangel Divino, Ultimo Maldito | Not bad but really not nearly as good as I was hoping. Why can't the 4:20 Boys have good matches with the TJ guys? | 3 1/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShV20drVGOY | | Torta Super Astro | Torta Super Astro | 4/14/2018 | Kamik-C, Skalibur vs. Divino Boy, Calibus | The not-4:20 Bros. are a bit rough but the 4:20 Bros. have some cool dives. Do they just sell too much or are they legitimately blown up in every match? | 3 1/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ9MVFEZ-6Q | | indy | Arena Nacionalista | 5/20/2018 | Ricky Marvin vs. Skalibur | GREAT match with Skalibur coming right at Marvin and Marvin beating the hell out of him in return. | 4 1/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-4fdNF0D4s&list=WL&index=115&t=0s | | indy | Arena Nacionalista | 6/30/2018 | Skalibur, Kamik-C, Lastwarrior, Comick, Galatico, Deja Vu vs. Dago Ortiz, Maverick, Thunder Kid. Marvel, Galakxy, Centurion | The Torneo Dragon Ball, in which participation in the theme did not seem to be mandatory, but still one guy was dressed like Piccolo and another like a Saiyan warrior and Skalibur wore his Buu mask and wrecked shit and Kamik-C looked really good and you have lots of flippy boys doing their flippy things.If I heard right the flippy guy dressed like a kai was Comick and he was cool. I think the guy in black flying all over the place at the beginning was Maverick. Skalibur is limping badly at the end of this, but much like the way he sells exhaustion so well it may actually be a shoot (but anyway all of lucha is a shoot). | 4 | youtu.be/cBxnyObyn4k |  | Arena Nacionalista Mexicali | | Black Danger, Voltron, Drakma vs. Skalibur, Kamik-C, Platino | flippy and fun | 3 1/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyAdZr3ng74 | | local wrestlers | Arena Nacionalista | | Skalibur vs. Fly Boy vs. Mirage | Joined in profress and I don't know how much was skipped but even the seconds at the start are sort of listless and aimless until Skalibur comes in and holds the match together. Can Skalibur hold a match together? I mean, he did?? | 3 1/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=v96wBJRUS9Y |
