Friday notes

thecubsfan news

I’m busy and afraid to look in the comment section. (More than usual!) Quiet day anyway.

Previews of tonight: ESTO, Ovaciones (hooray for posting today’s article, since the PDF isn’t up), LuchandoLibre. The big story here is Liger’s debut match, as good as bet as they have for drawing a good house the week before the anniversary show. Looks like he’ll be headlining every show he’s on as a rudo and teaming with No Limit most of the time. There sure seems to be a Liger/UG match coming before he goes back to Japan (which makes one wonder if UG is headed back to Japan at some point in the near future.) No Mistico on the card, but with Negro in the semimain, it wouldn’t shock anyone to see a surprise appearance. Terrible/Mascara as the lightning match is interesting in light of Terrible’s pals getting a shot at Mascara’s trios titles next week.[poll id=”43″]

CMLL announced the anniversary show will start a half hour earlier, to show a video of past anniversaries. So, an episode of Ras de Lona then? Or maybe they’ll help us fill some gaps on the list of Anniversary main events?

El Pancracio writes about new CMLL wrestler Disturbio and Puebla wrestler with Tigre Rojo.

Luchas 2000 486 has many pages on Alex Koslov – having wholy and completely different articles on the show, Alex on losing the cage, Roldan talking about the Cruiserweight Title, and the CMLL booking committee saying he’s not coming in is completely normal and still odd. It’s all the same story.

LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s upcoming lineuips.

FWIW: I had planned to do a move on the luchawiki server this weekend which would take it down a few hours. Not sure if that’s going to happen, but I’ll try to give warning (both here and the wiki) if it does.

  1. I voted for “Someone Else”, other than Mistico or Ultimo Guerrero. I’d like to see Jushin Liger face Misterioso II. I think that could be a good match. With the outcome being Liger falling at the feel of El Rey del Youghurt !!!

  7. Strange how that article about Disturbio mentions his mother (a luchadora nobody knows anything about) but fails to note his connection to Panico. You would think being related to one of the people who run CMLL might be of note, no?

  9. Noche de Punos gets Máximo, Mictlán, Rouge (featuring matching entrance robes…yay) vs Euforia, Nosferatu, Vangelis. I’ve been trying to avoid the boxing, so its possible they aired something before this, but I don’t thinks so.

  10. And, now we are on to MMA. So, either they aired something very short between boxing and the strippers vs infernals or they only had the trios this week.

  13. @Rob: Interesting…I would not have thought to watch ‘Solo de Futbol’ for lucha libre… I’ll have to try to catch it next Thursday. Based on the how they talk about Koslov, I wonder if this was all pretaped or if they are doing them live in studio on Thursdays. I’ll have to start trying to catch the matches.

  15. Ultimo’s singles matches as of late have sucked and a match against Casas would be just another japanese style match. I want a good lucha singles match and the only two people who are any good at that are Blue Panther and Averno.

  17. I’d like to see Ultimo. Ultimo *can* bring it in the ring, and I think Lyger would push him to be at his best. Plus, I honestly think CMLL wants him as their next “ace”, and as much as Blue Panther v Lyger could be awesome, no one gets a rub from it.
    CMLL wouldn’t put a Sombra or Volador in with Lyger… And those are guys that would greatly benefit from such a 1-on-1 match.
