Viento was impressive during this match, showing that his ceiling his quite high despite already being 31.
The second of two headline matches of Pro Wrestling Revolution’s (PWR) February 22nd event in San Jose, California saw Ultimo Panda defend his Pro Wrestling Revolution Openweight Championship against Viento, Diablo Azteca, and former Lucha Underground Trios Champion, Lucha Libre AAA (AAA) World Mixed Tag Team Champion, Mexican National Atomicos Champion, AAA Latin American Champion, and AAA World Tag Team Champion Drago.
Ultimo Panda came into the match still extremely over with the crowd, that was equally as excited to see Drago in Pro Wrestling Revolution (PWR). Panda blended in comedy throughout, even giving the referee an arm drag before apologizing with a hug.
At one point during the contest, Viento overshot a dive to the outside and his legs came crashing down on the barricade; luckily he was not hurt nor injured as a result of the miscalculation. The match a few other minor slipups, but nothing to take away from what was an entertaining bout.
Those who hate comedy in wrestling won’t like most of what Ultimo Panda did throughout the match, however, the match did center around his antics.
Viento would get the victory after dropping Diablo Azteca with an acrobatic springboard Tornado DDT to become the new Pro Wrestling Revolution Openweight Champion. El Gavilan, El Amante, and Karisma came out to celebrate with him.
Viento was impressive during this match, showing that his ceiling his quite high despite already being 31. Drago was also solid and remains capable of putting together solid outings.
Ultimo Panda will likely remain extremely over with Pro Wrestling Revolution live audiences, therefore this loss shouldn’t do any damage to his current momentum in the eyes of PWR’s hardcore audience. With COVID-19 bringing wrestling to a hault, crowds will be happy to just see him when life is back to normal.
The entire event can be seen on FITE.
