If like me you usually skip it, it's worth noting that Puebla was quite good last night. They set up Cavernario/Dorada for the latter's title next week.

I only watched the first and last two matches, but the semifinal was lots of fun and Caristico vs. Ultimo Guerrero was good as well

it's up on youtube: http://youtu.be/2kDNwn79BOc?t=01h46m37s

My immediate first reaction when I saw that match had been announced was "there's no way it's actually happening", but was told otherwise by RobViper, who SHOULD know better than me. Guess I was right!

In better news, Fujin (Yohei Komatsu) alongside his partner Rey Escorpio just won Group A of the Gran Alternativa while pinning Maximo and Atlantis in the process. This means he's in the finals two weeks from now. Group B will be held next Tuesday and the teams for that should be announced tomorrow according to thecubsfan.

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

Is there anyway to watch the Gran Alternativa? Its one of the few Lucha events that takes my interest.

Yep, real easy and legal. CMLL streams the Monday Puebla and Tuesday Arena Mexico shows live on Youtube and they're instantly archived. The big Friday night shows are also streamed live but on a different site and generally only the main can be watched later.

Here's last night's show featuring Group A of the Gran Alternativa:

Group B will be on next Tuesday and the Finals the following week on April 5th. CMLL's seriously the most accessible promotion in the world right now.

Looks pretty cool other than the subtraction by addition of Rush's dad to Los Ingobernables for now. UG gets a singles match against the other big Elite guy after facing Caristico on Monday.

Oh hey, AAA has a PPV tonight, although thecubsfan warns that you may want to think twice before purchasing at the moment:

quote:



There’s nothing more emblematic of the current confusion around AAA than their iPPV situation. Wednesday is the 20th annual Rey de Reyes show, the March show which crowns the winner of the tournament of the same name, and typically starts the build to their biggest show of the year, TripleMania. That’s the kind of show you’d expect to be on iPPV in 2016, as it has been in previous years. It’s unclear if that’s the case this year. There definitely is a website where you can buy the Rey de Reyes iPPV for a listed $15 USD and it looks completely normal from the outside. Except, if you actually try to purchase the show, there are some obvious problems. People who have bought the last show aren’t charged to buy this show, while those who haven’t bought any shows are being asked to pay $19 instead. AAA hasn’t acknowledged any of this – in fact, a day out from this show, they hadn’t actually advertised the show being iPPV at all. (I would recommend not buying until they sort this out.)

I'm not a huge fan of AAA proper but the card doesn't look bad and last year's Rey de Reyes was fun. At the very least I'm going to see if they give it to me for free as I bought last year's and they seem to think I have access.

the second match was the women's trios match

it involved among things, that hosed up suplex, and someone tripping as they did the "walk on your opoonent" spot, plus action that was way slower than it needed it to be

Was a good show. Production is WAY ahead of CMLL. Like when CMLL was on Televisa, but better. More camera angles and closer to the ring. Arena Mexico lit up instead of in darkness. Audible crowd/entrance music. Makes AAA look third rate.
