CMLL GDR - 03/24/07 (#70)

Reoccurring feature: Rey Bucanero's house. Again, this is mostly a look at his trophy/wrestling room. Unlike Ultimo (maybe because he's masked?), we actually see Rey's wife. Didn't someone say recently she was Diabolica? I must be confused, or they must've been confused, or it must've been a different Diabolica. Rey has whole family there, and he ends up dressed up like Rey Bucanero would look dressed up. We also get Rey Bucanero signing karaoke, which makes this great. Everyone plays pool, and does the taunt when we come back

Match 1: Hiroka (c), Mima Shimoda, Princesa Sujei vs Dark Angel (c), Luna Magica, Sahori
Arena Mexico, 03/16/07

Winner: Rudas (Sujei cradle w/ropes Angel)
Match Time: 11:53
Approx Rating: Outside of Luna Magica's first sequence, a good match.
Other Match Notes: No entrances. Perhaps I'll be able to solve that "who's better, Luna Magica or Sahori" question that scholars have been working on for decades. They're spelling it S U J E I this week.

Dark Angel is into fish net looking leggings and one size two short trunks, and she's had better looks. Hiroka and Dark Angel have a fun section on the mat to start, though near the end, they decide to zoom in on a bad cut to Hiroka's thigh rather than show us what's going on. Break as soon as they're done.

Looks like they clipped stuff here, because Sujei is already beating up Sahori, and Shimoda is recovering from being in the ring. Lots of hair tosses. Sahori's offense looks good this week, including a nice spinning armdrag and a neckbreaker. Sujei seems to roll out of position for the big finale, but Sahori recovers fine. Dark Angel takes over, getting in a plancha, taking a clothesline, and rallying for a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. It's a bit back and forth, and Dark Angel gets in a dropkick before tagging into Luna Magica. Magica promptly blows a spinning headscissors. I think we may have an answer! Sujei and Luna have timing issues, "looking at each other, waiting" issues, and "horribly blown spot" issues. Fans get on them. Magica does pull of the headscissors right the second time, sending Sujei out. Mima beats up Luna, and Luan's fine being beat. Luna gets in a bulldog and escapes, tagging back in Dark Angel. Angel and Shimoda duck each other's moves, until Dark Angel manages to sneak in a back suplex. Tag to Sahori, and she ends up landing a  rolling wheel kick right to Mima's face. Mima rolls out, and Hiroka cuts off Sahori with a big boot. Chest slaps, corner whip, and Sahori back with a middle rope spinning headscissors. Bodyscissors bulldog, and a dropkick to the had. Tag back to Luna Magica - who misses a missile dropkick. Hiroka slaps and chops her around. Corner whip, and Hiroka crushes her with a corner boot. Mima kicks her from outside for good measure. Luna manages to get a faceslam off the ropes, and dropkicks Hiroka down. Tag to Dark Angel. They're making lots of tags. She comes in with chest slaps. Whip, reversed, Hiroka lifts up to her shoulder, but Dark Angel reveres it to a big DDT. That's enough for that, the rudas decide it's time for the beatdown and rush the ring. Rudas lock on the straight jacket double boot choke, with Sujei adding knees to the back. They let go, just to clear off Sahori and Magica from the apron. Dark Angel is pressed up, and dropped stomach first onto Mima's boots. That's not fun. Sahori in, whip, double punch to the midsection. Sujei front slams Sahori into a double gutbuster on the Japanese women's knees. Magica brought in - corner hip blocks by Mima and Hiroka, and she's lifted up by Mima for a Hiroka silla! She's dead for sure, Kuna hit the mat hard. TRIPLE LEGDROP! This a fun ruda trio. Sahori brought back in, and they set her up so Mima can do the top rope silla on her, but Dark Angel comes as well. Sujei misses a clothesline on her, and Dark Angel makes sure to shake the ropes when she hits them, causing Mima to lose her balance. While she's crotched, Sahori gets a 'rana on Hiroka, and Luna gets a tilt-a-whirl slam on Sujei. Luna heads out - diving headscissors to the floor. Dark Angel boosts her partner into a pescado on Mima, who goes down grabbing her leg. Angel and Sujei left in. Dark Angel off the ropes, 'rana, Sujei blocks it and powerbombs one two NO. Sujei let go too soon there. Sujei picks her up, looks at the crowd, and Dark Angel pulls her into a reinera! Sujei hanging on, not giving up - and sliding out into a small package - and she's got the ropes! One two three!  

Hey, whoever's producing the show - if you start playing the end of fall graphic before the fall is over, you kinda give it away. Why do you do that? Anyway, Dark Angel can't believe it just went down like that, while the rudas are thrilled.  

Stalling because the opener was only two segments long: Survey time. The best part is a mother with a small child trying to explain why she's a rudo fan.

Match 2: Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr., Mistico (c) vs Black Warrior (c), Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero
Arena Coliseo, 03/18/07

  1. rudos
  2. tecnicos
  3. tecnicos

Winner: Tecnicos (2-1)
Match Time: 11:33
Approx Rating: Good!
Other Match Notes: Entrances. Mistico has his Televisa trophy! I wonder if the award ceremony will make AAA TV this year. I'm thinking - no. Mistico does the pretaped prematch promo, with a mask that's actually cut so he can talk. Like, you know, the kinda style the WWE would want. I only understand one-fourth of what he's saying, but it's seems like a good promo. Black Warrior is in a jolly mood for his interview.

1: Rudos attack while we're looking at the lineup graphics. Individual beatdowns, with Ultimo getting Mistico.  If they're anti-Mistico this week, it's not immediately evident. Warrior hangs Monito in a mini tree of woe wand beats him. Olimpico gives him the giant swings. Monito tries to crawl to safety, and he becomes part of a tug of wore with the tecnicos. Monito's set up in the middle of the ring, and Mistico is press slammed on top. That's all great. Mistico is thrown out. Dos comes in not as much to put a fight, but to give the rudos a non-Monito target. He gets corner charge's including Ultimo's headstand sit. Dos takes a slingshot legdrop after the catapult set up, and everyone covers to eliminate him. Lizmark comes in, tries to break it up, doesn't really, and gets held for an Olimpico slingshot splash. Olimpico actually hit the ground before splashing, but whatever. Warrior beats up Mistico on the outside.

2: Warrior yanks Mistico's mask. He's not dying his hair at this point. It sounds like the fans get to see his face, because there's screaming, but they're not showing it on TV this time. He gets out and gets hi mask back on while they work over Lizmark and Dos Caras. Ultimo misses a charge on Mistico, and he kicks away Olimpico and Warrior when they charge, then backflips over their double clothesline. Nice twisting headscissors to send Ultimo out, and a slingshot tornillo to follow him. The Power Twins try for double press lams, but Lizmark loses Warrior and then pretends he totally meant to turn into a side back breaker submission. Riiiight. That's the fall. Monito gets in a splash on Olimpico, and a dropkick on Warrior. He might have fouled him too. Mistico pulls of Warrior's skirt - Warrior's been wearing it the whole match, places Toro with it, puts it on, and does the Warrior dance. Warrior shoves him, so Mistico superkicks him and does the dance again.   

We get a break in between these falls, because the opener was a women's match. I know, no one cares but me.

3: Misitco puts the skit on Monito, so he can do the Warrior taunt. Even Warrior gets a laugh out of that. Ultimo and Lizmark start the actual wresting, with Lizmark getting in flips for no reason. Ultimo nearly chops Olimpico when Lizmark moves out of the way, but holds up in time. They discuss, and then double chop Lizmark. More discussion, as Lizmark decides to drag out how long he stays dead before the spinaroonie. Rudos are boinked into each other, and Olimpico takes three tilt-a-whirl backbreaker before he can escape. Warrior and Mistico. Crowd is back to normal for Mistico. Again with the Warrior dance. Mistico kicks him down and laughs. Lots of crowd shots. Whip, Mistico over, waved by, flipping for no reason, ducks a clothesline, up into a fireman's carry, out into an armdrags. Warrior out, Olimpico in, Mistico bars the arm kicks, Olimpico in the side, and runs up the corner for the fllying armdrags. Ultimo in, and chopping Mistico down. Ultimo taunts the tecnico fans and their Mistico chant. Ultimo lifts Mistico up, but eh uses the ropes to flip to his feet, and gets Ultimo with a a spinning headscissors on the next pass. Ultimo the floor, Mistico follows with a slingshot spinning headscissors. Tags to Olimpico and Dos Caras. Olimpico doesn't like this. Pose down? Pose down. And then they start wrestling, which is nice. Dos gets one armdrags, but Olimpico escapes the second and elbow drops him. Dos comes back after a corner whip, getting Olimpico with the corner enziguri and getting Warrior with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Ultimo in, he misses a clothesline, back suplex, Dos lands on his feet, and back with a spinning headscissors. Ultimo goes out, and Dos fakes at him with a spin thru the ropes. Mistico in, and he springboards into a Ultimo Guerrero back elbow. Crowd chanting for Mistico, and Ultimo pauses to let it going. Corner whip, charge, Mistico moves, and Ultimo takes the knee bump out. Mistico sets up for another dive, but sees Warrior moving to cut him off and goes back to his corner.  Tag to Lizmark, who gets in the superkick on Olimpico. TOPE. Warrior in, and kicking Mistico off the apron before he can do anything. Apron tope con giro for Lizmark! Dos in as Olimpico, Lizmark and Warrior gather outside - springboard plancha! That was pretty impressive. Mistico and Ultimo left in. Crowd chanting for Mistico, but Ultimo elbows him down. leverage spot, leads to a Mistico 'rana, one two th-NO. Ultimo waves Mistico into the ropes, MISTICA. Good night.

Replays. Mistico gets the pre-match interview, and of course I can't make him out now. He stills wants stips matches with Averno and Perro. Good luck on that.

That's it.
