Best CMLL: 2002

Spurred by a “what was good in CMLL 2002?” thread on DVDVR. Could’ve saved myself time and just said “ALL OF IT.”

Date listed is the tape date; air dates vary. I probably should’ve added my show number, but I was doing it in mind of someone who’s buying tapes, not looking for my recap.

As usual, theoretic 100 point scale, but no one ever gets 94 and up.

I don’t know how well how some of it ages; I’d only been watching lucha for a few months before hand, so I’m sure things that I’ve seen a score times since might make some of this less interesting.
