Accion showed clips of the CMLL main event and the AAA title match.
Is there a specific reason Toscano is dressing like John Cena besides “that’s how John Cena dresses”? Lizmark Jr.’s run in is prominent, and then we get MIstico’s dive and the holds/pins to finish it.
On the angle we get from the TV show, it looks like Mesias just lost his footing on the top step – he tried to push off, but he just ended up pushing the ladder backwards and falling. It’s still a stupid stunt, especially given how little it had to do with the finish.
Seeing it here, I’m 99% sure the finish was the finish they were supposed to do, just maybe sooner than the plan. Chessman got Mesias’ brass knuckles (which looks like masking tape as usual) and used it on Mesias, as Mesias had done to others thru the tournament, except this time a referee (Tirantes) catches it and DQs Chessman for it. It doesn’t make sense given what else they obviously let happen without a DQ in this match, and I’m sure Chessman can afford to take a clean pin if Mesias is supposed to be the #1 rudo, but it does fit the way they’d been doing things.
This means Mesias’ stunt was designed to mean nothing. Even after putting Chessman thru the table, they were going to to have to keep going till a point where Chessman had come all the way back from that move to set up the finish. They just did it for a crowd reaction, and there’s ways to get those without putting out a top star for a month.
DeporTV America had the usual Tuesday Coliseo highlights
2: Bam Bam tornillo. Refs are distracted late, and Mini Violencia punts Bam Bam for the unseen foul. This sets up the match this week.
5: Mistico Asai Moonsault. Evil Monkey headscissors. UG headstand sit, and double spinny submission. UG presses Mistico into the crowd. Tecnicos making their comeback, including a Volador. La Mistica for the win.
No Reyes de Air. Segment was shorter than usual.
Mistico, Mephisto, Averno, Negro Casas all missed the FMLL show last night, and I’d presume they’re off the rest of the shows. Other CMLL wrestlers (Aguila, Damian, Koslov among them) made the show, so it’s not totally clear what happened. FMLL cut it’s ticket prices in half, which seems like the right way to go.
Blue Demon Jr. was wrestling on a random indy show in Massachusetts. (thanks to mikeinformer)
