Last year's show on Children's Day did 4,000 fans.

This year's did at least 10,000 and the crowd shots made it look like 15,000+.

The mascots are a draw.

The mascots intros start at around 1:14. There's no audio for the entrances of Gallito and MICRO MAN.

The actual match starts at 1:18.

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.

Intros start around 1:12.

Dave says it was a sellout (17,000) and I believe him. CMLL promotion of the year.

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"

There's a videos posted on Twitter of him having a seizure which are obviously pretty distressing. Hope Jack is okay.

Pro Wrestling Sheet saying multiple sources in the Crash told them it was an angle, he wasn't stretchered to the hospital, and he walked around backstage after the show like nothing was wrong

Well, if I had to guess, if you're a white guy who walks into Mexico and you tell people you invented Lucha Libre, the next level of heeling is faking a scary injury you shouldn't fake

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.

watched this last night with a friend that I got into ROH and NJPW. Top rope spanish fly! Super corkscrew everythings! Canadian Destroys! Cometa hit an awesome flying head scissors on the outside that was super impressive. My buddy was like, I think that is Dragon Lee, and then marked out when he recognized Dragon Lee as the corner man. Great match, I am going to try and watch all of these recommendations over the week.

The Brazos destroyed Ultimo Guerrero's Mustang.

It's also probably a shoot. Lucha is amazing.

It's a good thing title belts mean absolutely nothing in lucha because Maximo could erase what Madusa did from the history books

edit: Mascara, too, forgot he had a belt

It'd look bad having someone with legit criminal charges ongoing have a big part in your Wrestlemania. I don't think he'll be canned and I definitely think the whole family will be hired when everything finally dies down, but yeah that match is Probably Not Happening Now

Unless the criminal charges actually threaten his ability to wrestle I don't see them cancelling that match for this.

It's way more likely Wagner finds a way to pull out.

This is definitely both An Ultimo Guerrero Singles Match and A 2017 L.A. Park Match so I won't really say "go out of your way to see it" but I still had a good time watching it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHvk5Ycne94

LA Park had the best match I constantly forget about with Rush so I imagine this is great.
