Little Bit of New CMLL

CMLL 2014/9/2

Gallo, Fuego, Cachorro vs. Okumura, Kamaitachi, Puma

For some reason, tercera is missing from the video, and now I feel like I could murder someone, because primera and segunda were some good lucha.

N/A

La Mascara vs. Mephisto

Short two caidas, doh of course, but it was for better, as evidenced by tercera where shit was quite unremarkable.

**3/4


CMLL 2014/9/2

Guerreros Laguneros (Ultimo Guerrero, Euforia, Gran Guerrero) vs. Atlantis, Rush, Valiente

Basic prelude trio to the huge apuesta match, yet the tensions and heat are so high it’s impossible to fuck it up. Strange to see Rush as a rudo in Guadalajara, but whatever. Recently I’ve noticed Valiente is quite a workhorse. When I watch Ultimo Guerrero, I feel bad for not paying closer attention to his career, I feel like I’ve missed some wonderful things, he’s quite great.

***1/2


CMLL 2014/8/18

Campeonato National de Peso Ligero: Espiritu Maligno vs. Electrico ©

Primera was bad, it looked like two wannabe luchadors trying to exchange cool moves, the sloppiness was unacceptable at places. Segunda was just as short as primera, but much better. Tercera was good, there were some big moves and it felt somehow important. The finish was pretty damn nice. So overall, I’d say this was a rock solid match, not bad.

**3/4


CMLL 2014/8/18

Volador Jr., Valiente, Maximo vs. Shocker, Rey Escorpion, Polvora

First of all, this was not balls-to-the-walls, no, it was rather based on Escorpion and Shocker being total dicks, they didn’t care for grace or flash, they were too busy looking like a million bucks by mauling the tecnicos, i.e. Shocker getting tired of Maximo’s gayness and punching him silly, or Escorpion harassing Valiente like a rabid freakin’ badger. Second, Valiente’s and Volador’s comebacks were awesome, both guys have completely grown on me this year. There’s nothing like finding a “hidden” lucha gem on internet.
