Here’s what I got. I was gonna do one more, but goofied off instead.
last weekend’s CMLL (#193): Dos and Ultimo was okay, but…there were all the normal agonizing flaws of lucah singles matches. Super fast opening falls and selling every move as exhausting in the third doesn’t allow the match to get into any particular rhythm or build any monetuem. The “move, pose and yell at the crowd, setup, move, cover for two, both lay on the mat for a bit” style doesn’t work unless they’ve made the exhaustion belivable based on what happened before, and that didn’t happen here.
07/16 CMLL (#179): Averno/Mistico was good overall, but that first fall was the opposite of good. Not the MOTYC you’d want or that Coliseo match supposedly was.
07/23 CMLL (#180): Trios trios trios, all build for later matches, and nothing super here, though the Mistico/Ultimo was fun. The Coliseo one was below expectations for that crew.
I hope to get to at least Mistico/Ultimo this week. Maybe more.
