Joe’s Lucha Libre Weekly: News & Analysis (6/12/19)

Not feeling fully up to date on the world of Lucha Libre? Joe Dinan is your guy and has things covered in this Lucha Libre Weekly!

CMLL

Caristico faced Mr. Niebla in the main event of the Puebla Show and Niebla worked over Caristico for most of the match. They did 3 falls in ten minutes somehow which saw Caristico winning with a Fujiwara arm bar. The co-main was a 6 man tag which was just basically a follow up meeting with Ultimo and Mascara Ano 2000. Ultimo’s team won. On Tuesday we didn’t get much. Another short main event involving Los Dinamitas facing Atlantis, Diamante Azul, and Valiente. The tecnicos won in two falls, with Forastero getting himself DQ’d via mask removal. On the Friday show we got a nice lightning round match with Cavernario and Templario which saw Cavernario win. The Dinastia Tournament started with Rush and Bestia defeating Volador and Flyer to win Block A. Block B continues next week. Diamante Azul has been pulled off of the road apparently.

AAA

Live on Twitch 6/9

The main event saw Rey Escorpion getting a pin on Psycho Clown even though it wasn’t exactly clean. There was some ref distractions. Laredo Kid and Hijo del Vikingo had one of the best matches this year for the cruiserweight title. You have to go out of your way to see this match. It starts around the Hour 40 minute mark on the recent AAA broadcast. They’re doing storyline advancement with Tessa and Daga. They set up the next women’s title match situation. It’s likely to be a multi woman match. It was a very good show.

Upcoming shows

AAA has a show in Cancun on June 15th and the next day they have one of their four major shows. The Young Bucks will be there facing the Lucha Brothers and I suspect we’ll get other AEW related talents. Maybe Cody. Don’t report that. Scarlett Bordeaux and Kross will be on the Cancun show. That’s the last show till the next big show as I mentioned. The main event will be Dr. Wagner and Psycho Clown vs Blue Demon and Taurus. Lucha Bros will face the Young Bucks. La Parka, Myzteziz, and Hijo del Vikingo will take on Texano, Escorpion, and La Hiedra. Faby will wrestle the heel ref Hijo del Tirantes and there will be a women’s match with Lady Shani, Keyra, and Chik Tormenta.

Others

Dragon Lee lost his Jr championship to Will Ospreay in an amazing match. He’ll be back in CMLL now. LA Park and Hijo De LA Park will be facing Dr. Wagner Jr and Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr at the MLW tapings in Chicago. I will be attending the MLW tapings in New York and there’s an off chance I’ll attend All Out and I’m for sure attending the AAA show at MSG. Working on eventually going to Mexico to report from there for some shows. Just some upcoming stuff.
