Lucha Libre at its Finest: CMLL Brings the Noise to Empower Field
Denver, CO - In a thrilling display of high-flying action and technical wizardry, Consejo Mundial De Lucha Libre (CMLL) brought its unique brand of lucha libre excitement to the Empower Field on October 21st. The sold-out crowd was treated to an evening of non-stop drama and athleticism as four of the promotion's top stars clashed in a tag team main event.
Tag Team Mayhem: Atlantis Jr. and Mistico take down Templario and Volador Jr.
In the evening's opening match, CMLL stalwarts Atlantis Jr. and Mistico looked to prove their partnership is more than just a passing fad against the formidable duo of Templario and Volador Jr.
The bout was a masterclass in contrasting styles, with Templario and Volador Jr.'s explosive offense being expertly neutralized by the patient, methodical approach of Atlantis Jr. and Mistico. The latter pair's chemistry was palpable as they seamlessly transitioned between high-flying acrobatics and grappling-based takedowns.
A highlight-reel moment came when Atlantis Jr. delivered a picture-perfect "Atlantis Splash" to Volador Jr., sending the crowd into raptures. Later, Mistico would counter Templario's attempted aerial assault with a devastating "Mistico Special" (a modified 450 splash), leaving the Temple warrior reeling.
In the end, it was Atlantis Jr. who sealed the win for his team, connecting with a beautifully executed "Atlantis Driver" on Volador Jr. to earn the three-count and leave the Denver faithful in awe of their tag team mastery.
