What happened:

Cavernario and Niebla Roja feuded, with Cavernario sneaking in a foul on Niebla Roja at the finish.

CMLL neglects to to turn up the sound on the broadcast until after the first match.

Thoughts:

Artillero actually gets hit

The main event and the semimain had the rudos swallowing up the técnicos for most of two falls. It hurt the main event to get do the same thing over again, even if it was more focused by the Niebla Roja/Cavernario feud. The producer seemed more interested in the women in the crowd than the match too. This was a less exciting técnico showcase than the match that preceded. Not bad, but something to get thru to finish out this show instead of something to enjoy. Niebla Roja uses the same reverse campana as he would on Friday, so that’s clearly his new big move, and it’s smart layout to have Cavernario and Niebla Roja to get in moves before the big finish. Tirantes seems to forget what he’s supposed to be distracted by at the finish.

The semifinal wasn’t going to work from the start given the rudos. It was one of those matches where it only sort of works for the third fall, when the técnicos do their usual offense and then lose anyway. Drone did better here than he would on Friday.

no idea

The lightning match was Rey Cometa flying out around entertainingly, and Pólvora doing about one more. Rey Cometa calmly landing on his feet after a moonsault and walking around was cool, but he didn’t have a lot to work with.

How did Esfinge end up on all three streaming shows and who can I talk to about making sure that doesn’t happen again?

Metalica does a few things well and forearms really hard. I hope she gets a singles match here sooner or later. A title match with Sugehit would be new, but I’d take a simple lightning match. Comandante and Tiffany aren’t good and Maravilla couldn’t do much with them, but she’s still sympathetic enough to get cheered. Vaquerita’s finishing elbow drop landed oddly and painfully for Tiffany.

The lowlight of the opener was Artillero accidentally hitting his head on Flyer’s feet and knocking himself silly for a few seconds. He still won. Flyer’s been upping his t-shirt design game.

fifth defense. good match.

The main was said to be Rush’s best effort in a long time. The rest of the show doesn’t sound like much; the tag title match picked up in the third fall, the opening matches weren’t any good.

Nothing as exciting as the title matches on CMLL’s today show, but likely next week. Barbaro Cavernario and Niebla Roja continue to face off in the main event, headed to a singles match seven days from now if everything goes like normal. Marco, Diamante Azul, Euforia and Felino fit around them.

The semimain could be a pretty good match, with Stuka, Fuego and Guerrero Maya teaming up against Puma, Tiger and Hechicero in a match where everyone is pretty good.

Drone takes on Raziel in the lightning match. The women’s match tonight is Marcela, Princesa Sugehit, Lady Maravilla faces Tiffany, Amapola and Reina Isis in her first streamed match since May. (She was in Japan for REINA, then her return was one of the canceled shows.) The minis match is Fantasy & Angelito (first stream since July) taking on Pequeno Nitro & Pequeno Violencia. In between, Magnus, Astral, and Metatron are scheduled to face Nitro, Espanto and Canelo Casas, but it seems unlikely Canelo Casas will actually appear. The show streams on YouTube at 7:30pm.

LuchaWorld has this week’s Poster-Mania.

Lucha Memes announced it’s first show for it’s 11/20 Chairo 11 show

In other important Lucha Memes news: we now know what a La Huachimolera is.

Tonight is the first of the two 4DX airings of the Lucha Undergound finale, and they’re even going to do a pre-show for it on Facebook Live. This is probably just a red carpet entrance thing. (If you’re going, please be kinda enough to wait 24 hours to talk about anything that happens. If someone’s managed to go 15 months without getting the finale spoiled, let them have one more day)

Fly Warrior’s semifinal opponent Sunday in the Powerbomb.TV Independent Championship will be Jonathan Gresham, who attacked and unmasked Fly Warrior back at the first Powerbomb.TV show. This show also has x.

new lucha videos for the weekend of October 13th, 2017

Last week, my mega uploads were hit by takedown notices a few hours after they went up. I’m sure it’s an automatic deal, just assuming I wouldn’t bother to fight it (correct), but I’ll have to think about what to do if it happens again this week.
