Yeah I mean I have a couple of cubsfan-great matches from the past two weeks in my queue (Hamada/Taya, Cometa/Cavernario) but I am a Park fan first and foremost so I watched this first instead

The poo poo they bust out in this match is mind blowing, especially for Park since he's the size of LA.

Is it basically a brawl with some lucha spots mixed in? I loved Parks "match" with Rush.

It's much more of a high flying technical match than you'd expect. Super passionate announcing too so it's easier to follow. Definitely a good match for people who don't watch a lot of lucha.

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.

Back again with another post to say that even though AAA has almost no good matches these days, it is worth checking out this Reina de Reinas title match street fight between Taya and Ayako Hamada: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OazHhK9UmLw&t=1138s

I don't speak Spanish well, but is this Park saying no promoter has put up the money for a Rush vs. Park Hair vs. Mask match?

My Spanish isn't the greatest either but I think that's the gist of it. He talks about how little promoters are giving some luchadores for their masks. I think he says he wants 50% of his pay before the match too.

Today's +Lucha match post is:
Carístico y Black Tauro vs L.A. Park y Hijo de L.A. Park, Lucha Libre Boom (5/19/17)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpiaQSvktYs

I'd put this one closer on the scale to "fun" than "good," but I didn't feel like I completely wasted my time watching it.

Is this pretty much what I can expect from The Crash? It's sad seeing Damien 666 going harder in the ring than Nicho... also when did Nicho start wearing the mask again?

Both of Nicho's knees are completely wrecked and he's trying to raise money for double surgery. I think he's been wearing the mask for 4 or 5 years, there was an angle where he took a fireball to the face and went crazy and started wearing the mask again.

Continuing my YTD catch-up on "thecubsfan rated these 'great'" non-CMLL matches, I just watched:
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.

Also, please stop me if you're getting tired of me posting so much in the thread.

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 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.

The Lucha Memes show from Puebla last weekend will be going up on +Lucha at 8 PM tonight. 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. Card also had Satanico vs. Hechicero that was supposed to be good.

Well

quote:

Shabu-shabu is a Japanese nabemono hotpot dish of thinly sliced meat and vegetables boiled in water.

Maybe he's got a cooking gimmick now? Might be a rib, too. One time I went to an indy show where instead of "Huka Blues", Sabu came out to "Stop" by the Spice Girls. I'm pretty sure it was Don Callis and the crew loving with him, but absolutely nobody brought any attention to it, maybe this is like that.

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.

Real answer: the only guys in Mexico with name value in america were on nitro 20 years ago or are currently on lucha underground

If you're not bringing in one of those two things save yourself money and the hassle of dealing with another company's office and fly in an indie lucha guy
