CMLL FSE #108 (08/31)

taped 08/24, aired 08/31

I didn’t grab video for this or the next FSE, because I think this was the show I posted the full show anyway and there’s nothing worth grabbing out of either of them truly. That may tell you all you need to know for the show. Only people who really need to V3 and Universo2K wrestle in 2008 should get this show.

09/16: X-Pac, VdE

This ESTO interview Panico is listed with today’s date, but I can only figure it was a actually done last Thursday because they’re still talking about X-Pac not being on the anniversary show because of work visa issues. Panico says X-Pac would still be a guest at the show, which I bet isn’t happening now. Panico explains the women and the minis didn’t make the card because there are so many rivalries; someone explain the rivalries in the first two matches. He also says Dr. Wagner & LA Park know the style that is expected of them and know not to repeat their last singles match, the one that turned into a street fight with Park hitting people with a wheelchair. Panico even hopes they will agree to a mask match. I hope Panico isn’t too disappointed Friday.

Over on Box Y Lucha, Cesar says CMLL knew X-Pac had reached a deal with AAA early this past week, wished him well, and kept it quiet to allow him to make a surprise return. Huh. That is a hard to believe sequence of events.

AAA is claiming 11,500 people for Verano de Escandalo. They also posted their recap of some of the matches: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 but there’s very little new info. Mesias apparently was free to escape three different times, only for the Sect to stop him each time. Interference and botched interference caused both pinfalls in the Minis title match. Nothing about the Porky match. There’s gotta be better pictures of the champs coming.

AAA also has an interview with the trivia contest winners.

Notimex preview of today’s Mexico show. ESTO has one too. A little extra attention because it’s September 16.

SoloLuchas talks to Blue Panther about his match. There’s also a Blue Panther bio on MT. Years 1991 to 1993 gets 6 paragraphs. Everything after, including Friday’s match, gets 2.

SoloLuchas begins it’s look at the anniversary show with a preview of the opener and a look back at Rayo vs Cien
