Saturday’s lucha quick recap

CMLL:

Welcome to the show: Shocker and “Ke” Monito

The usual upcoming shows hype is interupted for a breif mention of Enrique “Yanez”‘s death, and then by Universo 2000 (wearing a plain black ski mask), who argues his DQ loss of mask was unjust.

Vignette: Guapos U. Apparently, someone caught Fabiano Gitano with his mask off, and put in the paper. We see the paper, though Gitano’s picture is blurred. We get one look at each of the remaining Guapo U guys, and I’m not sure what’s going on here. It feels like this is supposed to end the bit, though they’re all going out and representing the group. But I could be reading this wrong.

[09/24] Canek/Black Warrior/Shocker DQW Dr. Wagner/Universo 2000/Terrible.
(3 falls, ~12:00, including between falls but not one break)

Universo wears his mask to start the match, which ticks off the fans. He’s announced under his real name. The big moment of the match is supposed to be Universo getting his mask ripped off (which happens in mid second fall), but they show him maskless in the open, and in the introduction videos. Referees sagely do not DQ Canek for ripping off Universo’s mask. Universo yanks off Canek’s mask to end the match.

Stellar moments. Included are Ultimo Guerrero giving Park his own revers bodyscissors powerbomb to retain the CMLL LH Title.

Highlights of Pierroth, Pierroth, and Pierroth (and La Nazi) beating down Apolo Dantes and sending a message to the Capos.

Vignettes: Hijo del Perro Aguayo Jr and Negro Casas both explain why they’re going to win tonight. Actually, Negro’s more interested in having a hair/hiar match than this one tonight, but whatever.

[09/24] Negro Casas defeats Perro Aguayo Jr. for Trofo de 71st Anniversaro
(2 falls, ~12:30, though the last minute or so might bave been post match confused as part of the match.)

This is treated like a title match. Casas gets a large trophy after the match – almost too big for him to hold up.

AAA

Vignette: Interview the Barrio Boys, re: the Black Family, right before they all go on a roller coaster.

[08/20] Black Family (Ozz, Cuervo, Scoria, Chessman) b Barrio Boys (Alan/Denis/Billy Boy) and Oscar Sevilla [c] to win the Mexican National Atomicos Titles
(~8:30)

News:
– solicting tapes of new wrestlers?
– talking to an AAA producer about upcoming shows

[08/20] Ocatgon/La Parka Jr. [c] beat Abismo Negro/Cibernetico to retain the Mexican National Tag Titles
(~11:30)

  1. Dang it… I caught the beginning of the Negro/Perro match last night on the late showing, and didn’t tape it. Was it good?

  2. I didn’t watch in detail, but the DVDVR thread seemed to think it was disappointing.

    (consecutive post streak ends tonight, I think)
