CMLL FSE GDR #37

thecubsfan

Taped 04/13 and 04/15, aired 04/22

I don’t think the Jeque/Stuka match was on it’s way to being a good match – Jeque was obviously going for his finisher next, Stuka would kick out of it (why protect it at this point), and maybe a couple more nearfalls before Stuka got the STO or a moonsault or something. It was going to be okay, fitting of the feud.

I think, in Tigre Hispano’s mind, he did everything right, and the rest of the world messed up. In reality, he either needed to not hit the mat a third time (and maybe I’ll cut him slack next time he way too obviously holds up early) or he needed to make a much bigger display that it was only a two count. Just one double arm wave motion doesn’t work, and it killed this match.

04/26: AAA TV scheduled, Ticketmaster, Queretaro,

AAA’s announced it’s May TV tapings in Ovaciones.
– 05/06 Oaxaca
– 05/12 Apizaco, Tlaxcala
– 05/20 Morelia
– 05/26 Minatitlan, Veracruz
– 05/30 San Luis Potosi

What’s great is El Sol de San Luis Potosi writes a lucha libre article about every day and quite of the same exact article (I swear there’s been ten weekdays straight of hype for the Mistico show on 05/02), so we’ll know how the month ends well before the middle cards are announced. Ovaciones says AAA is not sure when they’ll run TripleMania yet and may do it in May, which would be a surprise to me.

Ovaciones also says CMLL is talking about starting selling tickers on Ticketmaster again, starting on 05/19.

CMLL FSE GDR #36

thecubsfan

Taped 04/08, aired 04/15

These four week builds to stip matches, they’re not really working. I mean, this was fitting enough to build up the match, but I don’t think anyone really cares about the match or feud or whatever. It worked with Flecha because it hadn’t been done a bunch and because Flecha was a more interseting wrestler. Jeque is pretty nondescript, and Stuka needs some help to carry this.

There’s something deeply amusing about Tiger Metalico bailing out on Halloween’s big move it hits.
