CMLL Thread

[-mp-]

I'm getting back into this, largely on the back of this upcoming LA Park vs Rush mask vs hair match at Aniversario. So I may post about it here.

They run Arena Mexico every Friday night (Viernes Espectaculares!) and it all airs on YouTube so it's easy to follow if you're interested.

[-mp-]

Also Pentagon and Fenix are in now so it's exciting stuff

I want to check this out! I went to a Friday night show at Arena Mexico when I went to Mexico City in 2015. Total wrestling bucket list item crossed off! I still have the La Sombra T-shirt I bought there for like zero pesos.

Hell yeah man. I’m scared of Mexico but if I ever go there lucha is the thing I want to go see, and Arena Mexico is the Mecca.

I just got done watching the main event of the 5/25 show, which is Parka’s first match back in trios action against Ignobernables. The brawls between him and Rush are the kind of hate filled stuff you just don’t see anymore, it’s elecrifying

Yeah I was only in Mexico City for one night because Jen was there on business. I told her I’d come but only if we could go to a lucha show, because I may never get the opportunity again.

Also, US Customs really has some questions when you’re only in Mexico for one night...

It's Friday night which means VIERNES ESPECTACULAR. But I'm not caught up. So instead I'm finna pop a cold cerveza and watch PARK vs RUSH in the main event for 6/22.

[-mp-]

Parka's beer barrel drum of a gut is just incredible. He's gotta be pushing 325 lbs

[-mp-]

And he's not waiting for HOOSH to make it to the ring. They're fighting on the ramp amongst the sexy dancing women!

[-mp-]

THE POPCORN VENDOR GOT IT

[-mp-]

Park has to keep pulling up his pants and it's just great. Didn't stop him from hitting a tope suicida

[-mp-]

God I love this shit. If you're sick of the New Japan and WWE crossfit high spot mungus style of wrestling (I'm not, but I'm getting there) this is the antitdote for what ails. A complete and total throwback.

[-mp-]

Fucking Christ Rush's back just got shredded by a glass picture frame to the head. No it doesn't make any sense, none of this does.

[-mp-]

And Parka will NOT let these doctors save his life!

[-mp-]

That did not resolve anything because its going down for real at ANIVERSARIO in SEPTIEMBRE, with MASCARA CONTRA CABELLO stips by god get your tickets now

I can’t imagine who would lose that! Rush’s hair is so part of his look. But I can’t see Parka unmasking. Very intriguing!

[-mp-]

Holy fucking piss, look what’s booked for August 3rd:

LA Park, Pentagon, and Fenix vs Rush and the BRISCOES

I gotta get caught up for that

[-mp-]

I knew it was too good to be true. Per Meltzer:

The ticket prices announced for the CMLL Anniversary show on 9/14 suggests that there will not be an L.A. Park vs. Rush mask vs. hair match as was originally scheduled. Tickets go on sale on Saturday at 11 a.m. Nothing has been announced. There are people in Mexico who are connected who told me earlier this week that the match was now off but they weren't with CMLL. The belief is if that match was happening, the prices would be higher than they are listed.
