great match roundup, week of 2018-10-20

recapped

• 10/22 CMLL Puebla
• 10/23 CMLL Mexico
• 10/24 Lucha Underground (4×20)
• 10/26 CMLL Marca

I’m actually writing this post at 12:30 AM on Monday morning. At this moment, I’m caught up on all TV recaps for the first time since – August? I’m not even sure. They’re still late, you’re probably not reading this until Halloween, and there’s no way I’m watching Puebla live so I’ll be behind again slightly, but it’ll be a nice day of not feeling like I’m drowning.

Just getting this far was a tedious chore. There was a lot of stuff that wasn’t good, but I also just struggled with the stuff was that OK. I can’t do this but help but get fatigued watching and writing about some stuff that doesn’t all that change much. There’s no sense we’re on a journey in CMLL or AAA, we’re just wandering around and some random encounter will spawn every so often. LU did feel like that at one point but hasn’t felt much inspiring this season.

Again, none of the goods are really strong recommendations, but they all have something worth watching. I strangely went viral because of something that happened in the Lucha Underground match, at least. It’s not strange it went viral, it’s strange it came from me and not the people who are paid by the show. It’ll at least be more memorable than most of these matches.
