Archibald Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Nothing spectacular, but he looks somewhat unique in the CMLL environment. Not sure about how strong this push really is, it always can be that they (and probably Sofia in particular) did so much for him only due to this being LGBT show and he'll never get much spotlight again. Basically, I think that we should wait to see how he is booked in next couple of months before saying anything. Edited June 30, 2019 by Archibald
maciej Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 This Dulce Gardenia apuestas match from last year is a fun one:
Robert Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 Dulce is gonna be a star due to the tie-in but mainly he was hand picked by Ultimo Guerrero. The guys who are hand picked by him always get protected and are not subjected to the tortures of opening matches or getting lost in the shuffle. (Magia Blanca being the exception but he was on his way before he broke his leg) The entire thing was very WWE-ish in the disingenuous nature of the entire deal right down to the announcers cracking gay jokes & the match built around a man kissing another man is the worst thing that could ever happen to someone. I wasn't offended becuase I'm not an outrage guy but it was funny to process. Really surprised AAA didn't jump on this first since they are the far more progressive company and could have pushed the found was basically an openly gay man in times when that wasn't as accepted. CMLL is basically the old AAA at this point which is something I honestly never thought I'd see in my lifetime. Fredo Esparza pointed out on twitter if CMLL was like this back when Antonio Pena was around - he would have never left. 1
Curt McGirt Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Damn, and I was all happy they had an LGBT night. Pretty low of them. Then again I didn't have a problem with Dieno using a kiss as his finisher on that ep of The Wrestlers. But it is DDT, and as Dean always says "Japan is a foreign country".

sabremike Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Question for you guys plugged into the lucha scene: I want to go to the AAA show scheduled for MSG in September but am leery of buying my ticket and the show being cancelled and having to waste my time bringing it back to the box office. What are the odds this show actually happens?
thecubsfan Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 Tickets aren't moving great. Which makes it seem like a 50/50 bet it'll be canceled. But it also means you should be in no hurry to buy tickets because they'll still be there. Wait until August, after TripleMania, before you buy. 1
Robert Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 I'm planning on going but am not buying a flight or ticket until I see a card so I can just directly contact the wrestlers and be assured they have visas and are coming.
sabremike Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 One more odd lucha question: has Que Monito ever appeared on a show in either the US or Canada? Now THAT'S someone from CMLL ROH needs to book. The meet and greet alone would make stupid money.
odessasteps Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Sofia Alonso succeeds her father as CMLL president. Both cubsfan and Fredo have write-ups on her Informa appearance. Edited July 12, 2019 by odessasteps

Matt D Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 I'm playing catch up from last night. Why did no one warn me about the underpracticed kung fu Liger dance?

Archibald Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 La Park/Rush openly teasing hair vs mask match and not getting a mic probably means that we 100% ain't getting it this year either.
odessasteps Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 They also did not have either do post match interviews for the cmll channel.
Chorros Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Weird, I did catch up the TDN broadcast of the match and the announcer made explicit mention of the feud and the Aniversario. Confusing sings, but maybe is just due to the usual CMLL hands-off approach
goodhelmet Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Chris Hero posted this match on his Twitter. So much fun... 1

These three are the future along with Aramis. Arez can work US... wish more promotions would get on his train before waiting for PWG to do it for them. The style of the match reminded me of T2P with the crazy intricate exchanges and wacky 3 way submissions. I like when guys try to differentiate themselves and these guys certainly went for it. 1
odessasteps Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 Micro Man suffered his first Arena Mexico loss last night.
hammerva Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) Well I never thought I would hear a Max Scherzer or Joe Ross Washington Nationals reference on a Triplemania show but of course Matt Striker would do it. Poor LA Park trying to put on a decent match against that piece of shit Pagano. But if anyone could do it he would be it Holy fuck that poor women took a ladder bump and didn't hit ONE INCH of that ladder. These ladies were killing each other and it seems like the crowd didn't give a fuck Wait did Cain Velsaquez have a better pro wrestling debut than Ronda Rousey Edited August 4, 2019 by hammerva
