CMLL GdR July 2006:

7/15 Continuted:

Dr. Wagner Jr./Mr. Niebla/Rey Bucanero vs Atlantis/Tarzan Boy/Ultimo Guerrero: I can't help but feel I've seen this before. Rudos brawl to win the first fall, tecnicos react and win the second fall in seconds. Two tecnicos dives at the same time and then a roll-up win. Why does that formula sound so farmiliar? PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY DO IT EVERY FUCKING WEEK ON THIS SHOW!

7/22:

Dos Caras Jr./Dr. Wagner Jr./Lizmark vs Olimpico/Pierroth/Ultimo Guerrero: Replace "roll-up win" with "DQ win" from above and that's about all I have to say about this. Honestly, can anyone point out a single difference from the above match and this one?

Atlantis vs Rey Bucanero - NWA Light Heavyweight Title Bout: So Niebla is injured and Bucanero takes his place. I can't believe I had to take a minute to pause and think whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. By the time I decided though, the match was over. A whopping ~5 minute! main event. Now that may be iron man standards for a RAW fan but that's just plain embarassing for these two guys. I know, the third fall was clipped so we could see the thrilling PRE-MATCH INTERVIEWS for both this and the previous match. What would I do without knowing how Dr. Wagner Jr. prepares for a match?

This show does Luchamania Magazine better than Luchamania Magazine!

7/29:

Battle royale and three trios matches that all ended in less than 3 minutes each. Leono was actually on one of the teams as an emergency replacement and he got to show nothing. WHEW. That was a close one CMLL... you almost revealed there are actual talented young guys on the undercard for a second there! Thankfully we showed everyone they can't hang with such talents like Lizmark Jr. and Shigeo Okumura.

Dos Caras Jr. vs Ultimo Guerrero: Finally something worth watching. Not a classic by any means but a well worked match with a selfless finishing spot by Ultimo Guerrero. They worked the exact match you have to expect these days on an Arena Coliseo taping.

Nothing to go out of your way to see on this episode but if you HAVE to choose between the three, pick 7/29.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan GdR brings out so much negativity. And now we have TWO of the same show!:o At least the extra match airing has a chance of freshening things up. And also on the bright side is now I can finally watch the Chicago Lucha b/c I am anal about watching things in the order they arrive and those are up next. Unless the IWRG gets too tempting...
