CMLL FSE #125 (12/28)

taped 12/19, 12/21/08, aired 12/28.

Old old old! This recap is so old, I’m not sure if I should make a deal about it being the last FSE episode. Been there, done that, perhaps seen it undone.

Women’s match was really nothing time wise, which gave a lot of time for the lightning match. I like the idea of giving more guys opportunities, but this one wasn’t taken. Polvora must’ve figured that since he ‘won’ this match via winning the bodybuilding contest, he ought to just show off his built body. Did not work. Not Flash’s most solid match either, though he got all the highspots (Polvora wasn’t any more interesting selling, either.)

It’d be helpful if there was some better way to prep the crowd for these. We may see it as two interesting match of young guys trying to prove themselves, but this crowd clearly felt like two non-stars were being inflicted on them and they’d rather their time not wasted. This wasn’t a good enough match to win them back.

Main event was okay. It was just A match, the kind I’ll be okay with missing for a while.
