I’m leaving for my flight six hours from the time I’m writing this and I still kind of want to write another post, but I have enough nervous energy to finish this and have it post while I’m in the air.

Lots of people had the AAA megachampionship match (!) higher than me. Lots of people had Metalica/Dalys lower so perhaps I’m just not using the extremes enough. The title match is worth the Twitch subscription alone (though it will be still up there after the next show airs.)

I’m about caught up on the indie matches again, better go see some more.

TripleMania had a lot of good matches. CMLL also had Electrico/Virus this week so it was a good week.

With Nacion and the CMLL Sunday shows, there sure are a lot of matches I’m not actually watching. Probably for the best.

I keep thinking I’m really far behind and I guess I’m not? I could’ve taken time to watch indie matches but I figured it was better to get this up. TripleMania is next in the list, but there’s no reason in holding this up until I get that written up.

Euforia & Gran Guerrero was a fun little treat. Gran Guerrero wasn’t quite as good with Dragon Lee but it was a good week for him.

I’m writing this after seeing and writing about the Volador/Dragon Lee match. It’s not going to be a nice review. I’m not going to write about Rush/Volador unless I get to praise it, there’s no real point.

I watched the Nacion Lucha Libre show because it was the debut but do not anticipate posting a recap for every week. They’re treating it like televised spot shows, so I’ll add anything that seems worth the time to the indie watch later pile. It doesn’t seem actively bad, it just also doesn’t seem to be doing anything unique or interesting.

I didn’t have the Puebla Soberano/Casas match rated as high as the Arena Mexico, which means there’s not a match I’ve rated great from that promotion this month. You have to back to early (Cavernario/Templario) last month to find one. This is all just one dork’s opinion – I think it’s definitely fair people would have the LA Park/Rush trios higher and maybe you enjoy CMLL more than me so the baseline’s a little higher – but the shows feel deep in a rut. A common point of emphasis in 2018 CMLL was LA Park/Fenix/Penta related matches were carrying a lot of excitement and CMLL would be hurting for energetic matches without them. Only Park is around, barely, and the issues that have been there for a while are sort of bubbling up. (Lacking an Aniversario program, or at least an over one, also hurts.) I’m writing this all on Saturday, so maybe the Angel de Oro & Niebla Roja vs Euforia & Gran Guerrero match was something special. I wouldn’t count them out. I also don’t feel like there are many matches I’m very excited about seeing right now in CMLL.

AAA TV tapings continue to be the best TV product, even with this one having some notable flaws. I didn’t recommend a lot from the show but that doesn’t the show was enjoyable. I guess the same thing with this Friday CMLL show, which was an easy watch even without having high-end matches. There are some things more important than individual match rating, which is a good note for a post that is pretty much only match ratings.

I thought for a good moment about including Valiente/Terrible on the watch later list but then remembered it seemed like it was just eight minutes long.
