Have Not Watched
CMLL Guadalajara: 2012-01-07 – only one match made it thru
AAA on Televisa: 2012-01-07 – repeats
CMLL on Televisa: 2012-01-07 – repeats – except I still need to get to Valiente/Polvora.
Arena Coliseo Monterrey: 2012-01-01 – did not watch
Perros del Mal on TVCDeportes: 2012-01-05 – seemed to be at least half repeat? Or I messed something up.
CMLL Arena Puebla: 2012-01-07 – impression is Volador/Mascara is Another La Mascara Match

Late Adds
watched Satanico vs Jerry Estrada, which I’m pretty sure is not from this week. Estrada (and his odd giant white gloves) are great, but not all shocking that he destroyed his body. Some crazy and not all that smart stuff. Also watched Canek/Don Corleone; Marco is the more entertaining wrestler in the family, but felt like I slightly better understood why people were so into Canek.

great match roundup, week of 12/24/11

(The post you’re looking for is two more down.)

I’m going to start doing a weekly quality match round up. The goal is to build a list of notable matches thru continuously, rather than in big year chunks.

To make the list, the match needs one where you want people who do not normally watch that show to go out of their way to watch. Good for the level of the show is nice but not strong enough to make to the list. We want the extraordinary.

Two categories
– Excellent: MOTYC quality
– Great: just short of that, worth checking out
