CMLL FSE #1, #2, #3

Hey, I got the Fox Sports Espanol episodes.

* 08/13 – opener seemed liked a strong build to a big finish, and then it just sort ended. Main event had little value.
* 08/20 – Hey, a CMLL cibernetico NOT better than Reyes de Aire. This was just okay, though, and the extended Volador/Misterioso sequence teased a pretty good singles match some point down the road. Main event wasn’t much.
* 08/27 – skippable. Probably didn’t miss much from the clipped open. Neither Warrior or Dos are entertaining singles wrestlers, and it doesn’t help that they did a singles match by the numbers a week after Volador and Misterioso essentially did for him. Dos will hopefully grow better than this (though that’s far from a sure thing), but this was about usual for Warrior one on one; I think everyone knows this, but it’s still probably not a good idea to expect Mistico vs Black Warrior to be a MOTY (at least for in ring work alone – the crowd may carry it.)

In my opinion, it’d be better for FSE to join the show in progress – start in the middle of the opener, if you have to cut things out – rather than pull out random falls. We can live without the introduction stuff before we can live without the matches. This may be my biased “they better show the full main event this week” view, and I agree with everyone that it wouldn’t be hard to find another slot to put the show, either first run or a replay, to get that full hour out there.

I think I may be able to get to this week’s GdR this week tommorow, and then I don’t know what.

    Wow, we were totally on opposite ends re: Dos Jr. vs Warrior. We’re talking North Pole/South Pole.

    Glad you also didn’t particularly enjoy the Ciber on the second episode. Matches like that are not meant to be joined in progress since the eliminations come so quickly as it is.

    The talking stuff really cuts down on the amount of wrestling but surprisingly the only thing the people on the Mexican boards seem to discuss after these shows are those interviews! Why is it interesting to hear Mano Negra refer to himself in the third person spread over 4 segments?
