Older guys like Atlantis have value too, and the Dragon Lee types with exposure in NJPW as well. Rush has to turn down all sorts of bookings to make sure he has time fight LA Park on a moment's notice.

This weekend, Park's facing Wagner on Saturday and Park/Son are facing Mascara/Maximo on Sunday for MDA in Monterrey. He's actually double booked on Saturday because he and Mascara are on top of a trios at a 6 PM show and the Wagner match is on an 8:15 show.

Found some clips from Park's Saturday matches on Youtube:

Here's about 8 minutes of the trios match, basically just the Park/Mascara stuff, but the clip also includes Park pouring a beer down the ref's pants and slapping him on the back and stomach with his belt:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gGJQU3X7nA

Then there's the last 12 minutes of Park/Wagner, but it's really slow paced and uneventful and has all your standard tropes so it's not worth your time unless you're bored:

Anyone have any experience going to shows in Mexico City? I'm heading there for a week in August and want to at least get to Arena Mexico once. I see CMLL does shows on Tuesdays and Fridays. Is there any noticeable difference between the two shows? My Spanish is very limited, but from some other reading it looks fairly easy to get tickets at the box office before the show.

That's very good and comprehensive, thank you.

I'm probably going to go to Puebla one day for a day trip one day, but since I'm staying the whole trip in Mexico City I don't really want to have to take a 2 1/2 hour bus ride back to Mexico City late at night.

This week's Lucha and L.A. Park Bookings Update:

I couldn't find footage of the Park/Hijo vs. Mascara/Maximo match from Sunday.

Matt Tremont is in Mexico this week, which is pretty cool to me.

L.A. Park's bookings:
Friday - Park/Hijo vs. Hijo de Wagner Jr/Hijo del Espectro Jr - Arena Campeones
Saturday - Park vs. Penta 0M vs. Mascara - Arena Neza - I hope and pray this one gets taped
Sunday - Park vs. Silver King Ramses vs. Rayman - Arena Jalisco

Considering I loaded the file saying "I don't wanna watch these big boys have a slow match," I would rate this one strongly in the "very fun" category and would say it's worth your time watching at 1.5x especially:

Ángel o Demonio y Ovett vs Paranoiko y Tóxico, en DTU Expo Luchas Pachuca
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiwrGNoOk30

Ángel o Demonio's comedy game is strong, that carries the whole thing for me. Check it out if you haven't watched big guys having a basic lucha brawl in a while.

I moved over the weekend and while going through all my poo poo I found a ton of ancient CD-Rs filled with wrestling, including a month's worth of 2003 CMLL TV. I couldn't find any of the shows online (though I didn't check all that hard...) so I uploaded them all to Youtube.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuvyHC3Q8wjUQtISNA382YHAC_hoFQd1F

They're currently unlisted cuz I feared CMLL sending Micro Man to punish me for piracy. Does CMLL give a poo poo about that sort of thing? I assume not.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DHN-5x99BY

I haven't watched all the shows yet but the first one has Toryumon boys getting schooled by Blue Panther, Puerto Ricans doing some scheming against the glorious heroes of CMLL, lots of Super Porky, and Kemonito, who I thought didn't fully evolve into a super ape until 2005 but here he is, in 2003. Did the internet mislead me on Kemonito?!

I did watch the full Park/Wagner match and with commentary and professional camera work I am willing to upgrade my review of it to "fun."

If you feel a shiver of anticipation, it's because Park and Rush are on opposite sides of a trios match tomorrow at Arena Jose Sulaiman:

Thanks for these. I've got a lot of sentimental fondness for this era of CMLL as it was the last time I got to watch the weekly shows until recent years on youtube and such. Right around this time Galaivision put Football in the sunday morning slot for a while without warning and I never got to see it again. I asked Magadan about it at a show and he said they'd be back after the summer but by then I moved to Singapore where I've been ever since. VCR's were never a thing here (went from VCD's straight to DVD's) so for the next ten years or so aside from the occasional big mask match that made it online or seeing Ricky Marvin on a NOAH dvd I only followed Lucha via results in the observer. I literally missed the entire Misticio era.



It's funny as back then Shocker was being talked about as CMLL's answer to The Rock, I really expected him to be a bigger star then he ended up, same for Tarzan Boy. I saw Rayman listed on a poster recently, is this still the same dude who was Rayo Mk III/Hombre sin Nombre? He was really incredible in 2000-02, and then heard he started no showing dates and the like.

Today's a good day for sprints. +Lucha finally posted a quality 11-minute match from the 5/7 show that had Park/UG on it. Actually that show had Park/UG, HijoPark/Galactar, and Angel de Oro/Rey Horuz on it, which are all matches that I posted in this thread. Maybe I'll make a playlist, that's up there for show of the year in my book.

Dragon Lee vs. Xtreme Tiger
5/7/17 - MDAniversario2 - Arena Coliseo de Monterrey
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOhYQQYsEx8

Dragon Lee brings out all his hits and Xtreme Tiger is more than game.

Since I was looking up the show I saw that I had previously missed:
Rush vs. Masada - Cage Match
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVqOr7-iTj0

This one is wild, not as "good" as the other matches on the show, but just as great. Rush is the fuckin' best. The referee does some funny stuff at the beginning and near the end when Rush is tired of Masada's poo poo he just gets so awesome.

The tag trios is fine, but by all means check out anything else on your priority list first.

No footage of Park's random trios from Friday 7/7 or, sadly, from the Park/Rush trios from Sunday 7/9.

Based on Poster Mania, I don't think Park is booked anywhere this weekend. BUT Tortas Super Astro has Parks vs. Dragon Lee and Rush on 7/29.

I said "gently caress it" and just started watching La Parka matches in whatever chronological order I can find them on Youtube, with the help of Cagematch.

Here's the playlist, I'll add to it each time I watch a match (so it may lay dormant the next two weeks after today while I'm keeping up with the G1):
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1jv4vv62sX62HE2MylvD0GSZqfbNkvTL

Not all matches are great but most are fun, and Rambo is really good and a really good partner for La Parka.
