I just got back from an indy Lucha Libre show. Even though the show was well far below what I see in AAA tv, I had to support it. Now there was no workrate or any of the smarky qualities you would expect but you know what the crowd was hot so it really did not matter, the show was very entertaining.
The most over person on the show was the Rudo ref. The man had the crowd eating out of his hand 3 minutes into the 1st match by overlooking the classic FOUL kick to the "huevos" as they say here. Add a few ref bumps, some Technico beatdowns, and mic work, the man was on fire.
I try to go to all of the wrestling shows that come to town, hell we are lucky to have 3 shows a year from various groups. So far I have seen the group which is lead by Rudy Gonzales (Extreme Texas Wrestling) the old Shawn Michaels group (TWA) and now this indy Lucha group (Slams Wrestling Confederation Lucha Libre). Recently the SWCLL has been doing biweekly shows in mexico but nobody wanted to go so I only seen 2 shows of theirs.
