@luchablog On another note if you're ever bored maybe you can develop an algorithm to find which CMLL guys have never had a lighting match.
— Rob (@RobViper) February 25, 2013
Most of the people who fit the list are minis, women, opening card guys or odd foreigners, all of who are much less likely to get lightning matches. I’ve bolded those who are not.
Acero
Aereo
Akuma
Brazo de Plata
Camaleon
Camorra
Espanto Jr.
Fantasy
Freesbe
Génesis
Goya Kong
Guerrero Negro Jr.
Herodes Jr.
Kráneo
La Comandante
La Seductora
Lady Afrodita
Leono
Marco Corleone
Morphosis
Nitro
Oro Jr.
Psicosis II
Que Monito
Shockercito
Silueta
Soberano Jr.
Stukita
Tama Tonga
Último Guerrero
Zayco
Zeuxis
Ultimo Guerrero is in surprising. He’s had plenty of singles matches that are essentially one fall and ten minutes, but none where that’s especially the rules. CMLL seems reluctant to put Marco Corleone in many singles matches, which I’m always disappointed by. Brazo de Plata in a singles match would be a bad idea. The Invasors have more often been in trios and Morphosis hasn’t been around much, but it seems odd Psicosis hasn’t had one. Nitro would’ve surely had one by now if he was healthy long enough.
Having a lightning match, and having a lighting match recently are two different things. Here’s the most recent dates for lightning matches for everyone who has had one:
