CMLL TV 9/2/06:
Lizmark/Lizmark Jr./La Mascara vs Kenzo Suzuki/Pierroth/Universo 2000: I'm struggling to think of any match from this year's CMLL TV that looks worse on paper. Anyone wanna help me out? Panther is the luckiest guy in the world for getting yanked from this match at the last second. A complete waste of TV time. I thought they were going somewhere interesting by having La Mascara upset Universo with a roll-up in the first fall but it didn't matter since the rudos won the next two falls easily and Pierroth made Mascara submit clean in the third. AB-SO-LUTELY POINTLESS!
Alex Koslov/Mistico/Mr. Aguila/Negro Casas vs Damian 666/El Averno/Sagrado/Volador Jr.: Thankfully the battle royale portion was skipped so we could see this in full(or so I assume). Nothing seemed edited but they did come back from commercial with Koslov/Sagrado in the ring. This was quite simply... a dive-a-thon. Really spectacular stuff as Volador busted out 3 dives in his 9 minutes in the match and Mistico used 2. Koslov chipped in one, as did Sagrado and Aguila used a dive he hasn't done in a while and nailed it PERFECTLY! The biggest pop early on came when Mistico and Volador both got tagged in and mimmicked each others springboard into the ring. It was an awesome start to what should have been a great exchange but things fell apart pretty badly for Mistico. He blew a frankensteiner and then when it was time for a double dive, he slipped on a springboard. It would have been one of the greatest sequences ever if it weren't for those slips.:( This will add lots of fuel to the fire when it comes to people who think Volador should be in Mistico's spot. Personally, I love the idea of them as a team now and the crowd REALLY seems to be taking to it. I'd go with that and see what happens. Volador can get the rub from Mistico and establish himself before they eventually feud. Anyways, aside from the dives the in-ring stuff wasn't too special. Sagrado, Koslov, Averno and Negro all went out early which in theory left Mistico and Mr. Aguila against Volador Jr. and Damian 666 but instead they worked it as a normal tag match with the tecnicos against the rudos. Damian got rid of Volador leaving Mistico all alone as Volador and the crowd cheered him on. I read the results already so I knew Aguila would be pinning Damian with a 450 Splash by "accident". How do you do a 450 Splash and then a pinfall by ACCIDENT??? Needless to say it came out quite messy as I expected. Aguila went for the 450 as Damian was holding Mistico down but Mistico moved. The ref counted one... Aguila got up and then Mistico lightly shoved him back down on Damian and sat on them both as the ref counted to three. It might read better than it looked. I doubt anyone would believe Mistico was strong enough to keep Aguila on top of Damian. Even so, he wasn't really trying, he was just posing which made it more awkward. There was no finishing sequence, both guys just stood up and stared at each other for about 30 seconds, then they did the double handspring backflip into La Mistica spot which is always great to see. Huge pop for Mistico winning.
Momentos showed Tigre Metalico's asai moonsault, Mistico/Volador Jr. with AMAZING dual springboard corkscrew planchas, Metron with a ringpost moonsault, Misterioso II with the Gory Driver and Bucanero with the Buca Storm.
Blue Panther/Dr. Wagner Jr./Heavy Metal vs Perro Aguayo Jr./Hector Garza/Terrible: Los Perros Del Maaal came out with a guy in a black mask, black t-shirt and black pants. Even if the rumors hadn't been around for a few days, there is no way anyone could have mistaken the way this person walked to the ring. He unmasked himself during the intros and of course it was... SHOCKER! He put on a PdM t-shirt and left the ring as the fighting began. On the ramp he ran into Rey Bucanero who was on crutches and he slapped him before walking off. I guess that's our next big feud. Perhaps Bucanero takes Shocker's hair to end the year as another bonus for not jumping at Triplemania? Usual first two falls as you'd expect. Third fall was quite long... about the length of an actual match these days. Panther had a weird exchange with Perrito and Garza where they blew a spot and Perrito looked to get hurt. Then Panther clotheslined Garza in the corner and Garza sorta rolled all the way across the ring to the outside where Panther nailed a tope suicida on him. It was all very awkward looking. They also had a spot where Garza accidentally kicked Perrito in the face really hard and they had a mini-argument on the outside. The finishing stuff was really good as they did the spot we've seen a billion times as Heavy Metal goes for a pescado but is caught by Garza and Terrible. Panther then does a tope suicida to knock everyone down but instead the rudos held Metal in front of them so Panther just crashed and burned as Metal got dropped to the floor and appeared to legit hurt himself. Perrito/Wagner looked to be setting up the finish but then Perrito got crotched up top and Wagner went to the ramp. He tried his somersault dive as per the norm but Garza and Terrible caught him! They rolled him back into the ring where he got finished off with a triple team double stomp/power bomb combo.
If they had aired the segunda instead of that awful tercera as the opener, this may have been another great show ending what has been a fantastic month of CMLL TV. Instead it's just an overall average show in my opinion.
