CMLL FSE #17

FIXED

taped 11/26, recapped 12/03

I got thru most of my December FSE DVD while in the Land with No Internet last week. I thought I should get around to linking to them, you know? I’m not really in the mood to recap new stuff yet, but I’ll try work thru it tomorrow.

While writing this preview, I looked to see if Victor recapped this, because I wanted to make sure I didn’t hallucinate the main event. You know how CMLL didn’t renew Kenzo’s visa and so he ended up with AAA? The match was so hilariously bad at points, then just plain bad at others, you could kinda see the justification. Even with Mima Shimoda wrestling half the match herself, it was the longest 16 minute match of my life.

And even with how awful it was, the crowd was still into it. They’re far more generous than I.

Opener was bad too. Unless you can see the main event for free, skip this show.

06/26: Merida, Puebla, Monterrey

I’m not going to write much more about the Chris Benoit story at this point, but it is pretty much all I’m thinking about.

Black Terry fouled the Tiger in the segunda, causing his team to lose in two falls. Batman may have been hurt in that match.

A couple of CMLL card changes for later in the week. Shocker is out of Gran Alternativa. Valiente will instead team with Dos Caras Jr. Dos will all wrestle on Sunday, as the added match will be a trios rematch from last week – Ultimo, Toscano, Universo vs Rey, Marco, and Dos. CMLL.com says it’s “sin limites”, but I don’t believe it has super libre rules.

In today’s Ovaciones, Blue Demon Jr. says his mask match with Espectro Jr. will take some time in August, and he’s hoping to come back to CMLL after that.

The Tijuana comission will be holding a exam for new wrestlers trying to get their lucha license on Wednesday. They’re expecting about 20 people to tryout, and the test will go three hours.

In Veracruz, a promoter bought the rights to hold AAA’s Guerra de Titanes on June 15. You may have noticed there was no Guerra de Titanes on June 15th. The local promoter dealt with a middle company, not AAA. The local promoter is claiming the middle company lied to them and took their money, and the middle company says they didn’t sign anything. No quotes from AAA at all here.
