[Raziel]

Fuck, if Andrade is just gonna job to lesser talent getting shoved down everyone's throat, he could've stayed in WWE.

They actually called it Wrestling Federation? Their money mark or Rush didn't have any more creativity than that? 

[odessasteps]

As awful as CMLL has been the last few years, if they do a mask vs hair match at Arena Mexico between Hechicero and Virus, I will give them money for the PPV. 

[Evil Otto]

Interesting, I was just thinking earlier today about what it would take for CMLL to get me to actually shell out some money for them these days.  That match would absolutely do it for me.  

I really can't fathom why Hechicero isn't near or at the top of their cards at this point.  One of many of CMLL's mysteries.  How old is he anyway?  I can never seem to zero in on a number.  

[Curt McGirt]

Does CMLL have a strict no-blood policy these days? Because that match needs blood.

[odessasteps]

It would make sense during a health crisis. 

[LoneWolf&Subs]

Hijo Del Dr. Wagner Jr. is dressing the exact same as his dad now. It’s actually a lot more obvious how much he moves like his dad too. You also got Atlantis Jr getting better as well. I might be ready to move on to the next gen if they show this much potential.

Yeah, I want to see El Hijo del Vikingo in every promotion I watch, to be honest.

He's been streaming the weekly shows on Space, but I don't know if Twitch isn't gonna nuke it at some point, and that's pretty much teh only way to watch it outside of Mexico Live.

Cubs and Rob should just do their own English live commentary.

NGD have left CMLL despite holding multiple belts.

[LoneWolf&Subs]

CMLL is just as stuck in their dumb ways(If not more so) as the WWE is.

I occasionally will check out the big matches, but I think I’m done with CMLL. They’ll never fucking improve. They are completely satisfied just to have tourists come on Fridays, but they’ve forgotten about making the local market, and long time fans happy with the product. Thankfully Lucha YouTube, and the indies are satisfying fans today if they aren’t into either big promotion.

Some of the dryest, dullest wrestling TV I've ever seen, modern CMLL makes Kansas City seem like Mid-South.

CMLL announced the voting choices for the Anniversary show.

There are still hundreds of matches from decades of footage of CMLL I haven’t seen yet. It’ll take me a long time to get through those.

For those who might be interested, CMLL show tonight has Volador Jr vs Hechicero.

So many people are gone that they have to finally push Hechicero?

[odessasteps]

It's a weird styles conflict that will end with Hechicero doing the job. 

Def not paying $10 to watch live. 

[Evil Otto]

I'm not paying for the match, but at least it's a match I'm legitimately interested in seeing.  

According to cubsfan, Hechicero is leading the voting for the heavyweight title match with UG at Aniversario.  Like, a very healthy lead, almost inevitable he's getting the shot.  A win tonight for Hechicero would be (gasp!) logical, giving him significant momentum and would show that CMLL is actually listening to its fans.  

Then again...well, you know...
