Homage to 2 Legends Report! 03/15/2019

WARNING SPOILERS BELOW AS I NEED TO SPOIL TO TALK ABOUT SOME MATCHES

Vangellys, Polvora & El Hijo del Villano III vs. Triton, Audaz & Esfinge

Who’s who?

Vangellys in red, Polvora in flame mask and Villano in Villanos signature pink.

Triton/Esfinge in matching gear, with Tritons boots both being white and Audaz as always is in gold.

How’s the match?

Good, much better than any opener you’ll see on CMLL with a normal broadcast. Obviously because this is thie big spring event and normally the 2nd biggest show of the year. I’d suggest watching this, the rudo team is pretty whatever outside of El Hijo del Villano III, who is still green/new to CMLL, but did a good job here one of the few times we have seen him without uncle Villano IV teaming with him. Polvora/Vangellys aren’t bad, but Polvora does best when paired with teammate Dragon Rojo Jr., who is currently injured. I don’t like Vangellys a great deal, but he held his own in this contest.

Microman, Atomo & Gallito vs. Chamuel, Mije & Perico Zakarias

Who’s who?

Microman in blue, Atomo in red & Gallito in red/white masked.

Chamuel in black, Mije in white & Perico with a bird mask.

How’s the match?

Good, this isn’t a standout match from the smaller class of mini, but they so seldomly have matches that each time they come out it’s plenty of fun. Microman as always is a star and Chamuel very recently ditched his clown mask for a more luchador looking mask. It’s a fun match, but not a highlight of the night. With AAA pretty much not having a mini’s division anymore, this is the place to get mini’s action and I’m glad CMLL included them on the PPV. As all these guys train and work hard like the rest of the roster and deserve to shine. Though at the same time, I wonder why the luchadoras didn’t make this card. Even more confusing when they have Kaho in from Japan and a spot on this card would have given her more exposure, but oh well.

Diamante Azul, Titan & Soberano Jr. vs. Mephisto, Ephesto & Templario.

Who’s who?

Azul/Soberano both in white, with Azul being bigger & Titan in blue.

Mephisto in Blue Demon tribute mask, Ephesto having ram like horns and Templario in silver.

How’s the match?

Very good, the card picks up here and begins to feel more like a PPV. Not offense to the opener or minis, but both felt like they could have been on any show. This could have easily been on any Super Friday, but on any Super Friday it would be praised as one of the best matches on the card, if not the best match on the card. The tecnico team in particular worked so well and are all so varied that CMLL should think about putting them together more often. Mephisto too, as always has the best tribute mask of the night. Honestly, I’m surprised Azul wasn’t looking more like Blue Demon, as his repackaging years was meant to make basically another Blue Demon and his first big win as this name was the tournament in honor of Blue Demon.

NGD(Sanson, Cuatrero & Forastero) vs. La Peste Negra(Negro Casas & Barbaro Cavernario) + Gilbert El Boricua

Who’s who?

NGD are told apart easily by boots. Sanson in black, Cuatrero in white and Forastero in gold. They have different mask and tight designs too, but the boots are the easier go to if you’re new and confused as to who is who.

Negro Casas is in his signature plain black gear, Barbaro is the cave man & Gilbert in camo pants.

How’s the match?

Great, I was expecting a good match here, but I think this even surpassed my expectations. NGD are big match players who tend to change up their normal team offense or at least kick it up a notch when called to do so. They made this match grea, but that’s not to diminish the efforts of the other team either. In fact this is probably Gilbert’s best CMLL or trios match since arriving in the company for the first time last year. Barbaro/Casas did good too. This is the return for Negro after being sidelined for a leg injury, which is even referenced in this match. One of the best match of the week/month/year in CMLL so far.

Los Guerreros Laguneros(Ultimo Guerrero, Gran Guerrero & Euforia) vs. Caristico, Volador Jr. & Dragon Lee for the CMLL World Trios Championships

Who’s who?

Ultimo maskless, Euforia the tall man and Gran in Ultimo’s old mask design and all three in the stables signature colors of green and black.

Tecnicos in all white, Mistico in full pants, Dragon Lee in trunks and Volador Jr. without mask.

How’s the match?

Great, for most this will be the match of the show and it’s easy to see why. I might prefer the previous match for the main reason of it being something we haven’t seen as much. This feels plenty like Los Guerrero Laguneros title defenses of the past. It’s still very good, but it just isn’t something so new that I’m going to gush about it. Still very good and the finish stretch was a great combo of moves/moments. For sure a great match, but too similar to other matches Los Guerreros Laguneros had the last 2 years. It’s a shame Fenix/Pentagon couldn’t make this match. As it would make this feel more fresh. Dragon Lee is new here, but Volador/Mistico/Valiente is pretty close to his team with Caristico and Mistico even having the same finisher. I also don’t understand the thought of putting Dragon Lee here instead of Mistico, with the line-up of Mistico/Caristico/Volador Jr. in recent weeks feuding with Los Guerreros Laguneros/NGD as Dream Team. Seems bizarre to not follow that string of matches with a title match here.

Angel de Oro & Niebla Roja vs. Terrible & Bestia del Ring, Hairs vs. Hairs

Who’s who?

Oro in gold and Roja in red.

Terrible with facial hair and Bestia in western boots.

How’s the match?

Good, but unsatisfying as a main event. I don’t want to shit on this main event as I think all involved tried hard and that it went bad because of an injury. It’s really too bad as this was Oro/Rojo’s moment of redemption after both being unmasked at 2/3 last major CMLL events. Terrible in the big ending moments between him and Oro right after Rojo/Bestia had been eliminated in the 3rd fall, dislocated his arm. This meant that the long segment he and Oro likely had planned was thrown out and the finish came what felt much too soon. Good show, but the main event, which was the main selling point didn’t land well.

Arena Mexico Super Friday Report! 08/09/2019

Oro Jr. & Magnus vs. Nitro & Sangre Azteca

Who’s who?

Oro in gold/black & Magnus in pink.

Nitro in fuzzy mohawk & Azteca in azteca styles great red/black.

How’s the match?

Good, but nothing too surprising here. Better opening match happened Tuesday Night with hungrier guys.

Mephisto, Ephesto & Okumura vs. Atlantis Jr., Titan & Dulce Gardina

Who’s who?

Mephisto in grin mask, Ephesto in name shirt & Okumura in orange.

Atlantis in white mask, Titan in silver mask & Dulce in pink, maskless.

How’s the match?

Very good, it’s hard not to enjoy this tecnico team of upstarts. Titan being the biggest star with the other two having debut in CMLL this year, Dulce just a month or two ago. The rudo team are good, Okumura is a strange third, but perhaps Luciferno wasn’t needed tonight.

Seeding Battle Royal

Luchadora Universal Tournament, Block B

Who’s who?

Dalys - The last person to hold the CMLL World Women's title before losing it to Marcela who was in last week's block, also wife of legend Negro Casas. Dalys is one of the pillars of the division alongside Marcela/Amapola/Sugehit. Wearing red/blue two piece an attire that references her birthplace of Panama.

Lluvia - likes bodysocks. Despite being around for a decade, she hasn't achieved much outside of unmasking La Magnifica.Wearing sparkly black/silver bodysuit.

Silueta - Again, hasn't done too much in CMLL, despite being around sind 2006ish. Lost her mask to Zeuxis in 2010. Pink hair, teal attire.

Comandante - Los Ingobernables valet, was added to the group when Terrible joined, as she has been his valet for ages. No way she wins, she will be wearing cargo pants and no mask.

Mystique - Indie luchadora, dresses a bit like a ninja and a geisha had a hybrid job. She joined the CMLL roster within the last year. Wearing all red.

Stephanie Vaquer - On and off indie luchadora coming back to CMLL for this tournament. Married to luchador Ricky Marvin. Born in Chile. Wearing black/blue, maskless.

Jarochita - Worked in AAA originally, joined Lucha Libre Elite in 2016(the one and only year that place acted as an NXT like for CMLL) before coming to CMLL proper where she has been since. Hasn't done too much in that time, but it's only 3ish years. Has worked in Japan too, including Sendai girls. Red hair, masked wearing black.

Skadi - Heavy Set girl, daughter of Marcela who was in last weeks block. Probably the only woman here who can match or surpass Dalys in strength. Bigger girl in grey/black bodysuit.

Reyna Isis - Arabian themed luchadora with a mouth covering facemask. Has worked Japan, mostly REINA a promotion CMLL use to have a partnership with. Wearing flesh colored 2 piece and black veil.

Magnifica - A luchadora who first popped up as a winner of a 2011 AAA tournament, but that lead no where. Has been independent since, but may have just signed with CMLL to be part of this tournament. Mostly known for being a lucha de apuestas jobber, having lost 3 and won 0. Wearing black and is maskless.

How’s the match?

Very good, overall I don’t think it lived up to last weeks. Think last week had the more interesting people in it. While some of these people are just coming back and didn’t have great runs last time they were in CMLL. This one also suffers from a pretty predictable outcome too. Hopefully the finals are great, but Dalys isn’t the most exciting finalist.

Sanson, Cuatrero & Negro Casas vs. Valiente, Angel de Oro & Niebla Roja

Who’s who?

Sanson/Cuatrero in black/white with the latter having horseshoes on his gear and Negro Casas maskless in plain black.

Valiente the only masked tecnico, while Oro is in white and Roja in red.

How’s the match?

Great, who doesn’t want to see Cuatrero/Sanson teaming with Negro Casas? Valiente too is always a perfect 3rd man and it showed here. Great match for Friday night. Forastero going off to singles feuds is a little strange. It seems his current gimmick is picking fights he can’t win. Ending to this match though continues to prove that Cuatrero doesn’t have many fights he can’t win. Hope he defends his belt again soon.

Ultimo Guerrero(c) vs. Ciber The Main Man for the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship

Who’s who?

Ultimo in red and Ciber in black.

How’s the match?

Good, it is what it is. They are testing the waters for Anniversary and the water is tepid. Match wasn’t god awful by any means, but won’t go down as a great title match. Ultimo pulled out some cool spots, but Ciber never looked that great. Maybe he should adopt a dive, or if this became no DQ perhaps some heaters would help Ciber out. Cl4n? Still not too excited for this feud, Ultimo had a lukewarm feud with Cl4n last year too for the trios titles.

Volador Jr., Dragon Lee & Diamante Azul vs. Gran Guerrero, Euforia & Forastero

Who’s who?

Volador maskless in white, Lee in white masked & Azul in blue.

Gran/Euforia both in red with Euforia in full pants & Forastero in black/gold.

How’s the match?

Ehhh lots or great talents, but not a good match. Just too obvious of a set up match that ends too quickly. Forastero next week will be taking on Volador Jr. one on one. Hopefully this whatever match leads to that great match and not that thrashing of Forastero at the altar of Volador Jr. We will see next week, could lead to a title match that Forastero loses like what happened with Barbaro earlier this year.
