I really need to get to Mexico City to see #CMLL at Arena Mexico… their YouTube channel has a lot of stuff that seems like so much fun. I don’t understand any of the commentary but the official rudo/técnico distinction makes it pretty easy to follow along.

An added benefit is YouTube being like “I guess you want… Spanish ads?”

I'm watching the Volador Jr. vs Rocky Romero match from Arena Mexico. Commentary is in Spanish. When Volador hit the move known in the US as a "Spanish Fly" the announcers, who were speaking Spanish, said "Spanish Fly" in English. #CMLL #wrestling

Well, that slapped!

We're back to the usual format now with Sanson/Cuatrero/Forastero vs Soberano Jr/Atlantis Jr/El Audaz.

--

Sanson: Black/white open chin mask
Cuatrero: White/black mustache-y mask
Forastero: Uh, the other one

Soberano Jr: Blue/white mask with feathers, blue/white long boys
Atlantis Jr: Lighter blue/white mask
El Audaz: Gold/red mask

#wrestling #cmll #lucha #roshfrans

Next up is Rey Cometa vs Stigma in a relampago (or lightning) match. This is only for a single fall and has a ten minute time limit, so expect a lot of action.

--

Rey Cometa: white face paint
Stigma: red/black mask

#wrestling #cmll #lucha #roshfrans

Most of these matches will be under "Australian rules", which means two things:

(a) it's best 2 out of 3 falls,
(b) each team has a captain, and a fall is scored when you pin/submit either the captain or _both_ of the non-captains

This is confusing! Go with it! You'll work it out, and it doesn't matter too too much anyway in a lot of these early matches.

(Ooops, forgot the spoiler tag before.)

#wrestling #cmll #lucha #roshfrans

Incidentally, I think more wrestling matches should be 2-out-of-3 falls. I think it gives the wrestlers more stories they can tell, which is a great thing.

#wrestling #CMLL #lucha

Another interesting thing: Templario and Soberano Jr were in a no time limit single fall match. That's an unusual format for CMLL, who mostly run 2-out-of-3 falls matches. When they do single fall matches, they're generally relámpago (lightning) matches with a 10 minute time limit.

#wrestling #CMLL #lucha

I'm catching up on last night's CMLL show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6mPew0s3wE). One interesting thing to note: Okumura was on the show. I don't know if that means anything for the NJPW/CMLL relationship, which he apparently is in charge of, but it's interesting to note nonetheless.

#wrestling #CMLL #lucha

And #CMLL is just a blast, IMO. The crowd always love it, and they generally put on a pretty good show. For me, it's low stakes fun that I can tune into for free at the same time every week, which is perfect.

(Incidentally, almost all of their shows go up on their YouTube almost immediately, here's last night's show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6mPew0s3wE which I'm catching up on as I pontificate.)

#wrestling

Enjoying my wrestling filled weekend thus far. KoT Night 1 last night, followed by TJPW. Catching up on last night's CMLL during the day today, before KoT Night 2 tonight, then KoT "Night" 3 tomorrow afternoon.
