CMLL CAN52 GdR #102

CMLL CAN52 Guerrero del Ring #102, aired 11/04/07, taped 10/26 and 10/28.

This episode of Guerreros Del Ring aired a women’s trios and a main event featuring stars doing what it takes to get by. It could have been any one of a dozen shows in the last six months:

CAN #81, #82, #84, #88, #89, #92, #96, #97, #99
FSE #41, #53, #54, #60, #61, #64

(oh, that’s 15, but some of them I might be able to tell apart.

I’m actually looking forward to the women’s cibernetico. The content may ultimately be the same, but the format will allow it to have some stickness in my mind. A second good reason is the match being mostly rudas, giving it a much better shot of being memorably good.

(I wrote that before I found out about the title shot being on the line – you can totally expect a silly breakdown of the chances on Friday now)

Actually, this match was both sticky and proves the weak tecnicas point. The match was headed off the rails once Lady Apache’s dive went horrible wrong – a fall looking as scary as WWE’s Candice Michelle’s recent injury – but Diana’s thrice-blown springboard armdrag would’ve taken the match down on it’s own. Diana could have been mentally out of it after the injury, but she was off before the injury when working with Amapola. It was her worst performance i can recall and it was no surprise someone immediately decided to go home. Nothing was working this night.

It did confirm they choose the matches to air before they happen and have no way to adjust (or just don’t want to ‘waste’ the 15 second pre-taped promos and the opening segment), because there’s no way this airs if it does. That’s too bad.

Main event is the same match they do for arenas they visit once a month, but I get to see it every week. Great for them, sucks for me.
