CMLL on Televisa #937 (08/15)

taped 08/07 and 08/14

I don’t even remember where I got this, but it’s on YouTube. It’s been a while. I finished this up last week, actually.

For a five match show, there’s actually more interesting shows. Flash was cool versus Arkangel, and Sagrado/Mephisto was good, and I think they’ve found a Metro where being Metro actually works out better for him. Solid stuff, but nothing any big to point back in a month’s time.

The one really interesting thought from this was – remember when Niebla jumped, at he was allied with the Guerreros for the first week, but then ended up with Negro & Metal the next week? At the time, it seemed like Niebla got stolen away from the Guerreros a bit unfairly, and it was bad decision. Watching Niebla team up with Atlantis & Ultimo Guerrero here, it was totally the right decision. Niebla as serious professional rudo doesn’t hold a candle to Niebla as insane comedy rudo, and I don’t know that we get to that if he’s teaming with Ultimo Guerrero & Atlantis.

(Still, the Guerreros could still use enough healthy members to form a trio.)

AAA invites people in Mexico City to come out to a club and be background noise for the game. This is a neat promotional idea, but you’d think they’d be further along if they’re going to release in 2009. AAA also has Electroshock, who talks about joining Wagner’s group and an upcoming tribute to Fishman.
