CMLL Fox Sports Espanol Aug. 27 & Sept. 3/06:
August 27...
Virus/Stuka Jr./Leono vs Canek Jr./Hooligan/Nitro: Sadly, due to the soccer airing beforehand this was joined in the second fall. Judging by the opening clips which had a dive sequence, I'm assuming the first fall was matwork and the tecnicos winning while the third fall had said dive sequence and the finish with Leono being pinned by young Canek. The worst part about this was I enjoyed this second fall way more than any fall from the similar match the following week.:( Stuka Jr. opened up with Hooligan and was all flippy-floppy all over the ring. He busted out an AMAZINGLY SWEET ropeflip armdrag made great by the fact Hooligan is such a pro, he only used ONE ARM to balance Stuka and took the rolling bump as fluid as Herodes in his prime. Imagine how difficult that spot must be to pull off? Virus and Nitro were next with Virus looking great as usual. He has new Rey Bucanero style pants instead of his normal tights. Leono and Canek Jr. then entered and of course Canek immediatly got off on the wrong foot with me by blowing the opening spot. Leono covered and hit a spinning armdrag but then the rudos took over and won the fall easily, mind you the triple teaming was clumsy.
Dos Caras Jr. vs Black Warrior: Shockingly fresh match-up! Maybe even more shocking than that was I thought this was really good! It wasn't as formulatic(is that a word?) as Mistico's singles matches tend to be and the hatred seemed to be stepped up between these two. First fall was fun and had mask ripping from both. It seemed like they were doing the typical rudo dominates fall until Caras rolled up Warrior out of nowhere for the win! Second fall had Caras in control on the outside and when the re-entered the ring, he went for a submission move and this time Warrior rolled him up for the win! Third fall MAY have been joined in progress with nearfalls already taking place. Dos Jr. did his impressive running tope over the top which Warrior did a horrible job catching for. Warrior then nailed his bullet tope soon afterwards. They traded a few nearfalls using roll-ups that got HUGE reactions. Unfortunately the DVD cut off at this point so I missed the finish.:( Reading Victor's reviews, it seems I didn't miss much though as Warrior got one more nearfalls and then Dos Jr. nailed his finisher for the clean win. Even without seeing the finish, I'd say this was a really strong match. Good showing by both.
September 3...
Virus/Stuka Jr./Mascara Purpura vs Hooligan/Loco Max/Nitro: Hey - it's the non-existent undercard Guerreros! Two weeks of Hooligan in a row makes me a happy man.:D Virus and Nitro took it to the mat early. Sadly that ends quick with the rudos jumping the tecnicos and brawling their way to a win. Second fall isn't much better as the tecnicos immediatly fight back, Purpura nails a wicked tope suicida on Nitro and Virus/Stuka Jr. put Loco Max/Hooligan away respectively. So even without a game interrupting the match, it still seemed as if this was just a one fall match.:( At least the one fall was sorta okay. Stuka Jr. and Purpura seemed to be a contest to see who could do the most pointless flips. I think it was a tie in the end. Stuka Jr. did his handspring moonsault TWICE in the span of 20 SECONDS!!! That's only acceptable if your name is Super Fly! Hooligan looked like a pro bumping around for Stuka but what else is new? I wanted to see an exciting finish but it was pretty standard. Virus did his armdrag off the ringpost to Nitro on the outside, then Stuka Jr. slammed Hooligan so Purpura could hit the SSP and then Stuka used his legsweep DDT on Max. Overall disapointing... yet it was fun to see these guys in a disapointing match rather than the usual boring crew of same old regulars.
Mistico/Dos Caras Jr./Lizmark Jr. vs Perro Aguayo Jr./Damian 666/Mr. Aguila: First fall is all rudos including them putting a PdM shirt on Mistico and abusing QueMonito. Crowd seemed especially into this match for some reason but it was mostly comedy and stalling. Perrito in particular was really disapointing as his routine has seemingly turned into 100% shtick. Every second it's a new comedy spot or him running away and hiding. That's fun once in a while but for an entire match? I could go on and on but this match was a joint effort to stink up the building. At one point Lizmark Jr.(who had yet to be in the ring for minutes so in theory should have been 100% fresh) took a double chop from Damian and Aguila... and proceeded to lay on the may for close to a minute before finally doing his stupid same old routine which is just the Booker T kip-up and superkicks. Then he tagged out. AMAZING! Even more business exposing later on was Dos Jr. and Aguila talking and laughing in the corner while they waited for Damian to finish posing for the crowd. Oh, I forgot even more exposing than that... in the second fall as they were doing the finish, Lizmark Jr. just walked up to Aguila who must have been expecting some sort of intricate finish spot but Lizmark instead just grabbed him and forcefully pulled him up into his side slam move while Aguila looked all confused. People need to learn: LIZMARK JR. DOES NOT WANT TO WRESTLE! DON'T EVEN TRY! Mistico did two seperate tope suicidas on Perrito at different points in the match. One time was remarkably stupid as Perrito did a full lap around the ring as Mistico stood aiming up his tope suicida. Perrito then ran to the exact place Mistico was aiming for, waited a few seconds... then took the tope. This guy is a top 5 wrestler?:/ Lizmark Jr. teased a dive but it's Lizmark Jr. so Aguila just dragged him to the outside. Same for Caras Jr. and Damian. This left Mistico, Perrito and a referee bump/missed low blow. Perrito low blowed Mistico a second time and the only remaining referee counted to 2... TWICE... then decided to award the match to Mistico via DQ. Fantastic. I'm gonna go on record and say this was the most mailed in match I have seen all year on CMLL TV. Perrito is AWFUL.
Overall though... enjoyable two episodes. You knew I was gonna say that though b/c any episodes with undercard matches is always fun. Hopefully the streak continues and tomorrow they show the Stuka Jr./Tigres vs Arkangel/Hooligan/Loco Max match. This would be the 3rd time in 4 weeks Stuka Jr. and Hooligan have been matched up. Is that going anywhere?:/
