I'm pretty pumped that CMLL now posts their Monday shows on YouTube. Does that other site save the Friday streams in a library or is it a one time only viewing?
I don't think they get archived but thecubsfan posts them on Tuesdays https://www.youtube.com/user/thecubsfan

Would that mean they're not actually doing the Monterrey rematch this weekend or just that they can't wrestle in Mexico City?

I enjoyed this match from last Tuesday 1/10: Dragón Lee, Stuka Jr., Titán vs Ephesto, Hechicero, Niebla Roja
Match starts at 1:17:30 if the timestamp doesn't work. Hechicero is real good, and there's more meat in the early falls than many of the current day CMLL trios matches.

I'm still working through the backlog of matches I have bookmarked over the last few weeks.

I thought the Princesa Sugehit / Zeuxis title match from Puebla on 3/27 was very solid.

Continuing series of "Boco_T is way behind on lucha" I watched the Reyes del Aire and it was buck wild. Agree with the posts in the thread the day-of that the ending wasn't great, but still it was otherwise fantastic and is also the perfect thing to recommend to "person that likes wrestling but doesn't watch much lucha"

Soberano Jr. vs. Rey Cometa for the Mexican Welterweight Championship last night was a good match. Clarofeed died for the first fall but the third fall is the one you want anyway.

It seems like the best use of your lucha energy is to subscribe to +LuchaTV on Youtube and just watch all the full matches they post: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=user?mluchatv?videos

I watched two more and have come back to also recommend them:
Angel de Oro vs. Rey Horus - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYxSYnStbKI - Full of your more traditional flips and dives, good
Hijo de LA Park vs. Galactar (for the United States Junior Championship) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tUCDPkwVVM - I thought this was really good. Park's son has gotten it from his dad for sure. Although I don't know if "tope so hard your mask flies off" is necessarily good for your career longevity.

5 Match Fighters IWRG: Demonio Infernal, Aramis, Freelance, Araña de Plata y Black Dragon (1/22/17)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOteki1Nsoc

This match was entirely flips, dives, and head drops. No story or anything, just spots. I loved it and cannot recommend it more highly.

I caught up on my entire backlog of "thecubsfan Great" matches, and I am very happy with the last one I had on my list:
Daga & Rey Fénix (US) vs Sammy Guevara & Último Ninja (LyC, Arena Coliseo Monterrey, 04/09/2017)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfZLPN02FvU&t=302s (match entrances start at 5:02, match itself at 10:42)

Athletic, high paced match with an awesome large crowd. I only know lucha libre español so usually commentary doesn't sway me one way or the other, but the energetic solo Nacho Rodriguez commentary elevates it for me even more. This one's well worth your time.

I've been meaning to see that. Now I need to track down Ultimo Dragon vs Ultimo Guerrero even though I know it won't be as good as I want it to be.
I only see 3 clips of it on Youtube, no full match. Although it looks like they were taping it, maybe it will go on +Lucha this week. I actually watched a fan cam of Terry/Negro vs. Panther/Octagon and it was fine but the camerawork was not stable and was from way in the upper deck (and portrait shaped) so it wasn't necessarily worth it.

So we will get to see legit copies of Ultimo Guerrero vs. Ultimo Dragon and the Negro/Terry vs. Panther/Octagon match that I watched the cam of.

I finished the Ultimo Dragon Treinta Aniversario show. Nothing was a blow away, but all the matches were pretty good and the show flowed well because the file went from match to match quickly. It's a nice way to spend 2 hours watching some wrestling, especially if you don't watch that much lucha. Good show to put on for more casual audience.

I know the CMLL final last night was great but I was watching stuff in the order I had it in my RSS so I got watched this one first:

Virus vs. Prayer, Arena Coliseo San Ramón (3/25)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQZEXpRVYwo

They stretch each other for 20 minutes and it's very good. Almost the entire match is on the mat. The selling and pulling really gives weight to the moves that you don't always get with lucha submissions. Crowd and small arena make it look a little low key but the work is there and it's worth checking out.

This weekend, Park's facing Wagner on Saturday and Park/Son are facing Mascara/Maximo on Sunday for MDA in Monterrey. He's actually double booked on Saturday because he and Mascara are on top of a trios at a 6 PM show and the Wagner match is on an 8:15 show.

Found some clips from Park's Saturday matches on Youtube:

Here's about 8 minutes of the trios match, basically just the Park/Mascara stuff, but the clip also includes Park pouring a beer down the ref's pants and slapping him on the back and stomach with his belt:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gGJQU3X7nA

Then there's the last 12 minutes of Park/Wagner, but it's really slow paced and uneventful and has all your standard tropes so it's not worth your time unless you're bored:

Considering I loaded the file saying "I don't wanna watch these big boys have a slow match," I would rate this one strongly in the "very fun" category and would say it's worth your time watching at 1.5x especially:
