  1. He returned to TV this weekend teaming with Jack Evans & Angelico against Pentagon Jr. & 2 of the Inferno Rockers in an AWESOME match! Definitely look that one up when luchablog puts it up tomorrow. It seems like Aero Star is back on a regular TV schedule as he's on at least 3 of the next 4 tapings so hopefully this isn't just an abnormality due to Fenix being injured/in Japan.
  2. Dave addressed this on twitter and said he never said any such thing. In the future when you come to a situation where Russo claims someone said something and wonder if it's true or not: Always assume NO.
  3. I feel like I was wasting my life hanging out in grade 1 in October 1989 rather than going to Arena Mexico every week. What a month.
  4. Without a doubt this is THE highlight of the week. Let's see those Dragon Gate King of Chop pussies sit there & take this shit:
  5. Sabu? Except he was psychotic and just kept wrestling.
  6. Just finished Lucero/Hechicero. What a match. Definitely a must-see.
  7. Did anyone figure out what Dave mumbled on WON Radio yesterday? He was discussing Cena's injury being kept quiet and then...
  8. Diamante Azul/Ciclon Ramirez tope comparison? There's a new definition of stretching. I recommend Mascara Dorada/Super Porky/Thunder vs Felino/Euforia/New Pierroth. Total utter shit match with two horrible wrestlers & two washed up veterans who just show up to play their role and get by on comedy. Yet Mascara Dorada makes the match must-see with his incredible performance. Vintage 1996 Rey Jr.-esque performance where crowd is just in awe & it doesn't matter who else is involved - he comes out the star everyone will remember when they leave the building. No better flyer in wrestling these days. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Lfp0G4cpQM
  9. It's a good thing not having watched WWE from late 2003-early 2011 and not having to associate Rush's theme music with a child killer. AYM is shit and only aired 2 falls of Freelance/Seiya vs Alan Xtreme/Fulgor. They also couldn't bother to move the camera and missed at least 3 out of this world spots but hey's that AYM for you! Nevertheless that was some psychotic shit crammed into 12 minutes or so. Pains me to see Freelance & Alan wasting away in openers here with all their talent. Just gotta be happy the odd week they make it onto TV I guess. Was legit scared for Freelance/Fulgor's life when they were setting up the super top rope reverse frankensteiner but then I recalled these guys are not BJ Whitmer & Mike Bennett so they have a clue and will be fine. Angel De Oro/Puma's draw was really good. I liked the rematch on Sunday even better. Criminal how CMLL treats Puma. Lucky Boy/Nino De Ebano vs Apache/Carta Brava was technically a last week match but mentioning it this week is just as good. Those kids need to just do this match for 6 months and they'll be world class workers. Best they've ever looked here. Apache is so clearly broken but can still do enough to get by but his real genius is just how he controls a match. Any time the tecnicos are getting ahead of themselves he slows them down and resets to square one. He also knows how to work the crowd perfectly and when to do it for maximum reaction. Every AAA flyer needs to get through him to move up on cards. Dorada/Titan/Mistico II vs Bucanero/Escorpion/Polvora was the wildest match of the week. Had some rough moments as you'd expect in a Misticlon match but the crazy spots were plentiful. Never want to see Dorada do that bullet tope on that side of the ring ever again. Way too dangerous and I rarely call anything too dangerous.
  10. Rush/Maximo/Thunder vs Psicosis/Kraneo/Mr. Niebla - 7/16/13 Rush takes a break from destroying Negro Casas and basically makes this match into something. He & Niebla lay into each other, he murders Psicosis in the 3rd fall and somehow finds time in between to throw Mije into the guardrail and kick Zacarias in the face. ALL IN A DAY'S WORK FOR RUSH! That 7/14 match was great. Loved when they spilled into the crowd and Aguila ambushes Rush from behind. Also when things broke down and the mascots were going at it at the same time everyone else was. Great visual. I'm gonna disown CMLL if they just drop this mix of guys and feud with Rush with that bum Tanihashi when he comes down in August.
  11. My theory is it has something to do with commentator Leonardo Riano calling Negro Casas the n-word 3 times on a show that aired 2 weeks before CMLL was taken off. Considering Galavision US barely cares about Lucha Libre in the first place I can't imagine their reaction if someone made them aware that word was used multiple times on their channel. All it would take is one complaint and they'd dump the show because it's not worth the headache.
  12. This week's highlights on 3ra Caida had one of the most dangerous spots gone wrong I have ever seen. Hopefully this links correctly but if not go to 44:55: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=TyHcq7pvu6E#t=2697s Right up there with the Tarzan Boy ringpost bump, Valente Fernandez's near death & Shockercito's head tope as the scariest shit ever...
  13. Yeah tromtaker is right - AAA may not have been the first company to do man vs woman deal but their Relevos AAA match was the first type of match where everyone was treated as equals. I don't think Quack would even dispute this as he's a huge Lucha Libre fan and I even sent him video of various Relevos AAA matches when Chikara was just starting out.
  14. This weekend they should be airing the Sunday main event from Arena Mexico on 52MX. Another awesome brawl which ended up in the crowd at one point.
  15. No better way to restart the Lucha Libre forum by linking to one of the most amazing matches of the year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_710SV6LGQo Rush is a FUCKING BEAST! It's incredible how much he's improved since his first 2 years. The recent shift to feuding with Negro Casas is amazing. They had a trios the week before where Negro stepped on his face so in this match Rush just kicks Negro's head off. PRO WRESTLING! Cage match is coming up on Friday. Hoping Rush, Shocker & Aguila are left at the end - Rush low blows both guys and leaves, Shocker beats Aguila, Rush beats Shocker at the Anniversary & we just wait for the inevitable Rush/Negro hair match to come.
  16. Anyone who doesn't get the Rush/Negro Casas ratings just need to watch the last 3 weeks of CMLL TV. Holy shit. Best stuff going in the world right now.
