CMLL FSE #58, aired on 10/07 in the US, taped 09/09

So Emilio wins last week in two straight falls, screwing Purpura in the last fall, and then he wins this week 2-0, screwing Purpura in the last fall, and that’s the difference getting to watch the show makes. There’s no way Purpura isn’t winning the hair match next week, because no one would bother to bury a guy that much, they’d just drop him.

The story seems to be Purpura’s not in Emilio’s league, as shown in the finish and spoke about in Emilio’s promos. I guess the idea is if Purpura beats him, he rises to Emilio’s level – but I tend to believe it’ll be more like Emilio dropping to Purpura’s level. I guess we’ll see.

Opener wasn’t really really bad (it was just bad), and that’s kinda disappointing.

And now, the list of Micltan vs Infernales matches on the satellite shows

CAN52 #77: “An angle.”
FSE #40: “Eh. Not as good as their first match, for sure.”
CAN52 #79: “Eh. There’s been better recently. ”
FSE #46: “Decent.”
FSE #50: “About normal”
CAN52 #95: “Fun Infernales squash”
FSE #55: “Short, eh.”
FSE #57: “One of the better matches from this ‘feud'”

Eight matches, about one every other week. I hear CMLL has a really large roster, but sometimes it’s tough to tell. This was good.

I’ll save Purpura/Emilio for the next recap, but please note this was a two fall win for Mr. Charles.

Another boring B-Show. At this point, Emilio is only aware he’s feuding with Purpura at the finish, and even that may be blind luck.

In another world, Dos and Marco being the same size and winning their match with the same move at the same time would be a subtle indicator that they’re doing a title match down the road. It’s got no chance to happen (and might be remarkable awful), but if CMLL was serious about pushing Dos big time, wouldn’t you have to do that match at some point?

CMLL FSE Guerreros del Ring #45, taped 08/19/07, aired 09/16 in the US.

Lizmark Jr. vs Dos Caras Jr. for THE BELT actually was – it was like a Universo/Canek re-enactment, with younger guys and a couple different moves. It was one of those matches where I see people in the crowd cheering afterwards, and I can not really imagine why. Maybe they threw themselves into the moment, since they were there anyway. Maybe they’re more willing to look pass the obvious flaws than I, because there were plenty of obvious flaws to look past.

I can not fathom CMLL ever expecting to do a singles main event in Arena Mexico with Lizmark Jr., anniversary or not, after seeing this match. Maybe they saw it too and that’s why it’s not happening.

On the upside, I couldn’t tell the low attendance by watching the show, so that’s good.

The never ending Infernales vs Mictlan saga was better on the other show.

I think the opener was okay. We didn’t really see much of Leono. The main event was about usual, and there was at least one awful botched spot in both matches.
