CMLL

 

1. Six-Man Tag Team Match: Tarzan Boy, Black Tiger, & Pierroth (Technicos) vs. (Atlantis, Super Crazy, & “El Brazo de Plata” Super Porky (Rudos)

 

PRIMERA CAIDA (First Fall): A lot of this match is comedy, but it’s still fun stuff to watch. Super Crazy and Pierroth start us off. Crazy does an armdrag and Pierroth utilizes an armringer a few moments later, only for Crazy to escape via a cartwheel/kipup-style roll-through. “The Insane Luchadore” then performs another armdrag, after which he ducks a lariat and connects with a spinning heelkick. Tarzan Boy and Atlantis enter. Atlantis hits a running crossbody block and then a monkey flip, but Tarzan Boy dodges a running dropkick. Tarzan gets backdroped over the ropes and onto the apron. When he goes to climb onto the top turnbuckle, though, he’s crotched by Atlantis, causing him to tumble down to ringside, where Atlantis takes him out with a Plancha. Super Porky and Black Tiger do some comedy spots. Pierroth attacks Porky and some more comedy spots ensue. Tarzan and Tiger are double splashed by the big Super Porky. Atlantis is then tagged in and he hits a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker on Black Tiger. Porky follows with a Flying Splash on Tiger and a few moments later, Porky’s teammate, Super Crazy, gets a crucifix pin on an opponent to win the fall.

 

SEGUNDA CAIDA (Second Fall): Super Crazy and Black Tiger start us off. A great roperun sequence ensues, featuring shoulderblocks, dropdowns, and leapfrogs. Crazy flips out of a tilt-a-whirl pickup, only to receive a lariat, which knocks him down. The former-ECW and XPW star fights back by rolling through a sunset flip and nailing a basement dropkick to the face, at which point Atlantis comes in and fights with Pierroth. Atlantis is lariated down to the mat and Pierroth follows by slamming him before finally applying an armlock/crooked single-leg crab combo. At the same time, Tarzan hits a nice-looking Chocoball Mukai-esque front facelock/body cradle lift into a Brainbuster Suplex onto Crazy. He gets the pin over Crazy at the same time Atlantis submits to Pierroth’s submission. The rudos get the second fall.

 

TERCERA CAIDA (Third Fall): Pierroth and Black Tiger whip Porky into the ropes and perform a double-team back body drop onto him. Pierroth and Porky exchange chops, headbutts, etc. Atlantis knocks Tarzan off the apron as Plato running splashes Pierroth in the corner. A few moments later, Crazy whips Pierroth with something. He fights back, and backdrops Crazy to the apron, but receives a springboard dropkick. Crazy is then knocked onto the ropes by Black Tiger via a drop toehold, and Tiger hits a 619. Atlantis hits a sweet monkey flip on Black Tiger and then hiptosses him out of the ring, Tiger drags Atlantis out. In the ring. Plato hits a Rikishi-like Sitdown BUTT Splash onto Tarzan Boy’s face to get the pinfall and thereby win the match for his team.

 

WINNERS: Rudos

 

After the match, Porky kisses the blue monkey midget as his team celebrates.

 

2. Mr. Niebla vs. Dr. Wagner Jr.

 

A UNE CAIDA (One Fall To A Finish): Wagner attacks Niebla and starts an impromptu brawl at ringside. Wagner hits a suicide dive through the ropes. They re-enter the ring and Wagner lariats Neibla in the corner. Scoop slam by Wagner and a Flying Moonsault Splash, but he doesn’t cover. He goes for another Moonsault, but Niebla rolls it. Running dropkick to the face by niebla. After a snapmare, Niebla executes a Running dropkick to the back of the head, and – when Wagner rolls out to ringside – takes his foe out with a Running Apron-Dive Somersault Body Attack. In the ring, Niebla applies an armlock submission and pulls Wagner’s hair a bit. Niebla then proceeds to Irish whip Wagner into the ropes and spinebuster him down to the mat for 2. Wagner tries a sunset flip and finally pulls Niebla down for 2. Niebla locks on a rear chinlock to slow down the pace and then yells at the ref. Wagner gets knocked out to ringside, but fights back and flies in with a Flying Crossbody Block for 2. Wagner hits a nice-looking Handspring Backwards Leaping Body Attack and follows with a Folding Powerbomb for 2. Next, Niebla unloads with chest slaps, but Wagner fights back by slapping him down to the mat. His Irish whip is countered, though, and Niebla tosses his foe into the ref, knocking him down. Wagner fights back, though, and gets a pin to win the first fall when the ref refuses to count Niebla’s pinfall. This was somewhat of an awkward and extremely abrupt finish, but the rest of the match was pretty good.

 

WINNER: Dr. Wagner Jr.

 

Afterwards, Niebla cuts a promo at his opponent before Wagner mouths back with one of his own.

 

- They hype that El Encos and Super Estelar will wrestle next week. End of show.

 

OVERALL THOUGHTS: It’s unfortunate that there were only two matches. I would’ve liked to see at least one more, but those that were aired were solid, so I won’t complain. Both matches were solid, although I’m leaning towards the first one (the six-man tag contest) as being the better of the two.

 

 

 

 

This is only the second time in my life I've done a live PBP recap. The first time was of a WWF HeAT episode several years ago when Dean Malenko was the co-host. So, be generous with any feedback, LOL. Hope my time was well spent. I may do this next week...I don't know...I just was bored, so I opted to write this up as I watched the show.

 

I would've done AAA too (that's on right now), but it was more difficult to decipher who was wrestling on there, whereas the CMLL announcers reiterated each match's participants more often.

Nice recap there, the AAA show should not be too hard as well they use the same luchadores nearly every week its always a mix of the usual suspects of suck.

 

The horror movie gimmicks (MONSTER & Chucky, Abrile & Crulie, Leather Face, Jason)

 

The gay gimmicks (Pimpella, Mays Flowers, Gabriel(a), mexican goldust forgot his name)

 

The KISS stable Los Vatos Locos

 

Los Barrio Boys with white boys names

 

The Antonio Pena "I own the gimmick rights" so here are the fake Psicosis and La Parka

 

Los Los Vipers led by Psicosis who always fight Electro Shock

Thanks for the feedback. The first match on AAA involved Octagon, Pentagon, and two guys with the first time as Mascara. If you get my drift, at that point, I was like, "Oooohhhhh boy..." LOL. I started recapping the match hoping I could figure out as it went on who each guy was, and I called each wrestler #1, #2, #3, and #4, but a few minutes in I realized I couldn't figure it out.

 

I usually watch Lucha more often, but in the last few weeks I haven't gotten the chance. I remember as AAA was starting this week, I was hoping Damien/Halloween, Juvi, Nicho, or someone like that would be on, since they're some of the few people I know.

 

That Pierroth dude looks just like Jake Roberts.

That's gotta be backwards or I've missed a bunch of turns in my lucha absence.

It is. Porky is so over in Mexico. Its insane, he does a few moves and the crowd pops like they due for Hogan in America.

Ya, I guess it is backwards. Sorry about that. So rudos = heels and technicos = faces, is that right?

You have to see Super Porky do the flippy floppy spots with the armdrag, its amazing what that fat bastard can do, but Super Porky is mostly a comedy wrestler.

 

The guy in the all white suit is Mascara Sagrada he usually tags with La Parka vs Mascara Maglina who wears all black, Pentegon, El Texano, Pirate Morgan.

 

The Black Family is the stable that look like NWO Sting or the Brood. Chessman is the one in red face paint and the skinny small one is Charlie Manson.

Bah gawd, the Black Family suck so much. Everyone just seems like faces too me in AAA. I remember a few years back when Electrico Shock was a heel. I hated that fag. Now he is face I think.

 

AAA has the weirdiest gimmick. TELEVISA DEPORTES, WTF IS THAT~! Yeah, that pissed me off more than it should of.

[Guest Jimmy Saint]

AAA can be enjoyable for its sheer daftness and stupidity and at times good inring action. Not sure I would watch it every week like I would EMLL but for what it is now, it can be fun. At times it seems like its being beamed in from another planet.

 

 

Mascarita Sagrada and Mini Abysmo Negro I am convinced are the best workers in the fed and I'd be tempted to argue Mascarita is a top 5 worker in all of Mexico. Pimpi, Octagoncito, Lady Apache, Abysmo Negro, Psicosis, Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Chessman and Electro Shock are all solid workers. Latin Lover and Heavy Metal can be good or fucking awful depending on how many drugs they have done [Heavy Metal can actually become a better worker if he does a ton of coke that night].

 

 

Plus Gronda is the best gimmick in all of wrestling today.
