Thought to time this recap again to show up just before the show, but…oh well.
They really shouldn’t have started the show with the wedding. How could anything follow that?
I am unclear why they had on screen graphics for a radio show, but I do give them credit for how fast they put one together.
Pequeno Halloween is great, but so is Rebecca Reyes. A wonderful couple.
RJ Brewer/Mascarita Dorada was about as good as it could’ve been. I do find it outstanding that Brewer needed – REQUIRED! – outside interference to beat a man half his size.
Expected more crazy go nuts from the tag team title match, and it really didn’t come together as well as the last PR Powers match. It could be the other team, but it’s probably more that a tecnico/tecnico match was tough for them to work out, especially when they’re still trying to protect everyone.
Last week, I wondered why they went to a large building if they were not going to show the large building. This week, I learned how wrong I was. That place looked horrible every time they turned up the lights, exposing how few people were there and how empty it all was. There were plenty of shots where you could see it this week, but it was the worse during the street fight.

Black Terry Jr.
Usual attendance. Demon beat Generico clean, fans were not very familiar with Generico. The Villano III vs Scorpio Jr. (replacement for Scorpio Sky, hilarious) match had a bit more shenanigans involving a ref bump, Scorpio fouling Villano, but V3 rolling him up anyway.

Oficials won with help from a fast count in the third fall. After the match,
Last night, at a taping for MTV, Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins was attacked by Alex Koslov, Hernandez and Decnnis. Those guys were run off by Parka, Mesias and Tiger. The concerted was being taped for “MTV World Stage”, and it’ll air on 09/17 in Mexico, then 10/08 elsewhere in the MTV world. The bit just took just before the encore. Corgan is a big wrestling fan, having done stuff or ECW, WWE, and TNA at various points, so he was probably thrilled to do this. A music review of the show was not thrilled.
Lucha Libre USA is pre-empted tonight for a marathon of the Dudesons in America. It’s their season finale, so they’re building it up with previous episodes, and lingerie football takes it’s spot. Lucha Libre USA airs on Saturday at noon and should be back in it’s normal slot next week, but moving to a random timeslot with little notice and no promotion indicates MTV2 isn’t really invested in this show.
Tonight’s CMLL show is mostly a lame duck show with the much larger show to come next week. Mistico/Sombra/Shocker vs Terrible/Liger/Psicosis should tease a couple possibilities for the end of the cage match. The Peste Negra vs Invasors matches should set up some possibilities for after the anniversary show. Those two teams are already scheduled for next week and, with the tecnico cibernetico on 09/10, will certainly end up fighting the week after as well.
CMLL.com replaced Tiffany with La Comandate for the 09/05 Guadalajara show. Tiffany’s probably working the Santo show instead. They also announced the ticket prices, which go from $1 peso for kids in the balconies to $140 ($11) for the first 5 rows. That undercuts the Santo/Demon show, which runs from $50 to $250.
In another interview, Sombra says he’d like to face Lyger at the end of the cage match.
