Minus1Minus1 posted:Not sure if this might be better for the general questions thread, but would anyone be willing to expand on differences between the Lucha style and the WWE style? Lucha is all about popping the crowd through big moves. Everything else is secondary. That's why you rarely see builds towards finishes or even drama builders like near falls. Sometimes the finish just kinda happens but the crowd got to see cool flips so they're happy. The other major component is the ref is lucha matches is also an active participant. Sometimes the ref is the only one going into the match with any backstory(oh he's a former CMLL ref that got tapped to ref a CMLL guy's match). Trying to explain WWE style anymore is a waste because the company looks at matches like B-Roll. Things you can edit bits from to hype the next match. Lucha Underground is pretty much an indie with heavy lucha influence. Stylistically, they'll go for more storytelling via big moves. Generally they try to keep the finishes hot as well.

Triplemania was a fun show. gently caress all y'all. Granted I got the spanish feed because I've found wrestling is better when commentary is just weird noise I can kinda make sense of. the bad stuff was so awful it was funny. I wanna see Konnan's booking notes on how the two main events were supposed to go down because holy poo poo he had to have been high as gently caress putting those together. Plus, old men doing lucha is never not funny.

Spermgod posted:They've mortgaged their future for short-term gain. Building for the future vs. profiting here and now is always a complex calculus in wrestling, and it's not necessarily a bad decision if they can get a few more huge gates out of Atlantis's mask, but after Rush vs. Atlantis hair vs. mask, which I assume will be next year's Aniversario main event, there's not really another strong hair or mask to go against him. At the same time it's not like Sombra is the only guy they have who could be a future masked técnico Ace for them - Titán, Dragon Lee, Máscara Dorada all have potential, although Sombra was wayyy farther along than all of them and thus the closest thing to a can't-miss prospect. This is what years of apathetic booking have wrought. Sombra without the mask is still charismatic and enjoyable. He can still draw for the promotion.

He wanted the promoter to book him a new overseas flight 6 days out and they told him to gently caress off not every promoter has WWE or Carter money, Alberto. Maybe you should organize your personal life better.

During that time, everyone in ring kicked it into high gear to distract the crowd from the fact.

Strenuous Manflurry posted:Wagner had just returned to CMLL (and, because he's Wagner, was gone like 2 weeks later, if that), so this was his first time teaming with LOS INGOBERNABLES, so they were kinda hesitant to get buddy-buddy with him. But eventually they relented, his old man heelishness melting their young punk hearts, and made for an awesome one-time-only trio. tag matches were originally called australian tag matches as the Australia territory was huge into tag teams in the 60-70s. http://www.infinitecore.ca/superstar/index.php?threadid=51013

I'm hoping Sombra signed for an extended stay in NJPW. Given WWE's treatment of lucha talent seems like such a waste if he signed up.

Konnan was on the MLW podcast trying to claim that ADR was doing close to a $1million during his year out of WWE. If dude was making that kind of coin, why was he so eager to head back to WWE for half the pay?

NJPW's Fantasticamanias are the best way to watch CMLL imo. Tho you'll miss out of the guy with the border police gimmick and the tagteam with the fighting cocks.

Good job Konnan you killed a company with a wrasslin telenovela In other news, I'm getting the DTU vs Cara Lucha dvd when it comes out. The card: 1) Erwin & Irving vs Mazisito & Porrito [lightning] DTU Kids, 10 man time limit 2) Wasson vs Lokillo 3) Kilvan & Yoruba vs Jimmy & Kevin 4) Fly Star, Fly Warrior, Toxin vs Cíclope, Crazy King, Miedo Extremo 5) Guerrero Mixtico vs Drastik Boy, Adrenalina Fly, Johnny Idol, Dragón Celta, Látigo, Tony 6) Magnífico II, Rayo Star, Sky Man vs Jinzo, Lanzeloth, Rocky Lobo 7) Danger & Toro Negro vs Crazy Boy & Super Crazy and Joe Lider & Ricky Marvin The combination show between the two promotions, with a lot of CaraLucha vs DTU matches. Sixth match looks th best, but there’s chances for everything to be interesting.

At this point, I'm convinced CMLL books shows around whoever shows up that day. They have a pretty decent roster but outside of a few guys, no one really has an angle to play out.
