CMLL (FRI) 10/22 Arena Mexico [Cesar, CMLL]

2) Ángel de Plata, Starman, Tigre Blanco b Apocalipsis, Durango Kid, Puma King
3) Pequeño Warrior DQ Eléctrico [lightning]
4) Estrellita, Marcela, Tiffany b Amapola, Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sujei
5) Atlantis, Dragón Rojo Jr., Último Guerrero b Hijo del Fantasma, Super Porky, Toscano
6) El Alebrije, Olímpico, Psicosis b La Máscara, La Sombra, Máscara Dorada
Warrior stripped off Electrico’s mask around the five minute mark for the DQ. CMLL was hyping up a feud between them before the match.
Invasors (though not Marcela) attacked the CMLL female champs before the match, but the hometown trio turned the tide. SO much so that they got DQed for excessive violence in the first fall. Tiffany beat Amapola to take the second fall, and challenged her to a title match next week. Marcela did try to explain why she’d be teaming with these women (to get a shot at the ruda champions and Sujei’s mask) but it was not her strongest.
Toscano fell badly on a dive, coming down on his left elbow. He was standing on the top rope, waiting to dive, when the ropes shook from underneath him and he fell to the floor. Toscano needed help to the back, which gave the rudo an easy advantage to take the semimain in straight falls.
Before the match, Olimpico danced with one of the edecanes. Cesar says Olimpico had “the grace of a polar bear.” Tecnicos took the first, but rudos rallied back for the second and third. Invasors immediately challenged for a trios title match. Tecnicos wasted no time accepting, but both teams were then jumped by Los Guerreros (more so the invasors). While that was going on, Tirantes (the referee for the main event, naturally) was slipping away from ringside. Negro Casas snuck up on Tirantes, fouled him and pulled him in a dragon sleeper, getting some revenge for last week.
CMLL is on 2pm today.
The CMLL Bodybuilding Contest is November 25th. (That’s Thanksgiving where I live. I think, say, Dragon Rojo and I may have totally different eating habits that day.)

Two title matches, and the 2nd and the 5th matches progress directly from last week. Hmm.
This would be Tiffany’s first world singles championship, if you over think it and don’t consider the Reina de Reinas as more than a trophy. When Tiffany was talking herself up on Ras de Lona, she mentioned she was a former Mexican National champion, started to say the name of another one, and quickly changed to “and other championships”
There may be all cage matches. Poster says this will be on TV. Sure.

“The CMLL Bodybuilding Contest is November 25th. (That’s Thanksgiving where I live. I think, say, Dragon Rojo and I may have totally different eating habits that day.)”
I dunno Cubs – I bet they all pig out immediately after the competition is over…
Women are on CMLL right now. Anyone know if the lightning match aired?
Giving a 10 year old boy Dark Angel’s ring worn outfit is so CMLL. That kid won’t grow up with any issues.
Wow, Vangelis was the guest commentator. We’ve really reached the bottom of the barrel!
@Nikita: I thought they had to ease themselves back in, or they’d suffer a bit. I’m not sure I need to know.
@Rob: That’s actually interesting, because Vangelis hasn’t had a match in Coliseo or Mexico since August.
I mentioned this in one of the chats and keep forgetting to follow up here with the info- there’s lucha libre on Netflix instant queue- it’s called Luchamania, La Batallia Por Mexico. It’s old TJ shit.
@thecubsfan: Vangelis clearly doesn’t need the money with that shirt he’s sporting.
TOSCANO DOWN. That guy always takes the most sickening fall off botched spots and yet never seems to get seriously injured (as in career-ending… I know he’s been out for months at times).
Toscano’s wife clearly not phased by just watching her husband almost take a header onto the concrete floor.
Stupid editing almost made us miss Dorada taking the highest backdrop I’ve ever seen!
Really quick main event w/ seemingly zero edits. Monito’s spear was the highlight of the match.
52MX does have the tag team tournament final, so I don’t have to stalk anyone this week.
Also, the CMLL Trios title match, which I think was being built up on Fox. So those people get messed with, but they still get Luna Magica vs Princesa Blanca!
@Rob: Yup. Monito vs. Cuije got the crowd into it. After the final fall, I noticed that no one got up to go home like they usually do. I guess the crowd caught by surprise by how fast it was.
Cesar wasn’t kidding – fans didn’t give Angels vs DD a chance; those who were making sounds were whistling. It’s as if the opening tag match had got bumped to the middle of the card.
@thecubsfan: To be fair… they are opening match guys outside of Delta who just wrestles like one.
Someone replied in Cesar’s blog saying the people who were making the noises were the rudo fans since they had nobody to cheer for.
@Rob: so that’s why you don’t book a tecnico vs tecnico match and put in Arena Mexico in 2010.
I just noticed Mistico hasn’t been booked for a match at Arena Mexico in two weeks. Is he on the out with CMLL ? Being punished? Just being Mistico?
@thecubsfan: Hey I agree. You know how much I hated the booking of this tournament from the pairings to the results.
LATV has 10/08 Arena Mexico
1) Ángel Azteca Jr., Ángel de Plata, Molotov b Durango Kid, Escorpion, Nitro

@thecubsfan: is there a feed to this?
@CM93: No, but I’ll have the download link up by Tuesday.
@thecubsfan: does any more lucha air tonight?
@CM93: The GDL Local show and the C3 show both air at the top of the hour, both on web feeds. ACM is early tomorrow.
Wow. LATV is fucked up, huh? So random. But that opener looks fun.
Hey, look, it’s the tourism show instead of CMLL GDL. As usual.
XEJTV is soccer
CanalTres Real is Canal 28 with nothing?
GDL is Cadena 3 steam not loading?
Where can I catch these streams?
http://200.52.193.59/canal6/ – GDL is here.
HOLY SHIT METAL BLANCO NICE RING ENTRANCE!
XEJ TV aired at 3pm. Cadena Tres doesn’t start for 5 minutes or so.
Thank you guys.
Palacio Negro clearly trying to one-up Metal Blanco. This could get fun.
HOLY SHIT NICE COUNTER
Double Torture Rack is hilarious…
Both tecnicos horribly blew their ranas off the ramp although Palacio seem to hit his fine but Malefico didn’t roll with it.
Metal Blanco clearly showing off all his ways to enter the ring tonight.
Opener on Cadena Tres
C3 has opener.
Great fucking dives on GDL.
Oof. Trueno fucked up bad.
Misterioso II & Semental = future CMLL Campeones de Parejas.
That GDL opener was tremendous.
Back to Leafs. May try to catch GDL repeat tmrw.
Must I Sign up to see CadenaTrest Real 28 stream?
Misterioso is the man… Women love those Angels
You shouldn’t need to sign up. You could also try this link: http://196.40.46.209/canal44
No love for Okumura he doesnt even get an entrance…
C3 has to be editing out a match tonight, right? Halfway done and just finishing the segunda.
@Rob: If any matches get cut, hopefully it’s the main event.
Opener on GDL was the best…
Still either of those links never worked for the C3 feed for me, I was wondering if that had to do with a Canadian IP address?
I’m Canadian and they were working. I’m recording the C3 show. (although last week it only got audio for some reason. Show was much more enjoyable that way.)
ACM has Silver/Zorro vs Elegido/Parka
