Wanted to share last week's Black Dragon vs. El Gallo Frances match (IWRG, Arena Naucalpan, 8/6/17)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VogPmgKLKls

It's only 7 minutes, but there's some good stuff in there for that time.
Specifically:

They did a mask match last night (IWRG, Arena Naucalpan, 8/13/17). I presume +Lucha will post it in a few days but I went ahead and watched this hector godfrey cam:

Didn't actually think it lived up to the promise of the sprint above, but maybe commentary would add something. Crowd was solid at least, and the match wasn't bad it just wasn't anything special.

L.A. Park Report 8/15

Recent Match
8/13 Arena Oaxaca - Blue Demon Jr. & Luz Clarita vs. LA Park & Zombi - Highlight https://www.facebook.com/ArenaOaxaca/videos/1942723649314862/

Upcoming Matches
8/18 - Arena Naucalpan - La Máscara & Rey Fénix vs Daga & LA Park vs Hernandez & Zorro (Parejas Increibles)
9/1 - Aguascalientes
9/5 - Queretaro - LA Park vs Dr. Wagner Jr. vs Rey Escorpion
9/7 - Lucha Libre Boom - LA Park vs Cibernetico vs La Mascara vs Charley Rockstar
9/11 - Gym Municipal, Irapuato - LA Park vs Último Guerrero vs Rush [G21 HEAVY]
9/12 - Casino Leonistico, Queretaro - LA Park & Mistico vs Rush & Ultimo Guerrero
9/16 - Tortas Super Astro - Park's here with Maximo and Mascara but no official line-up yet just a poster
9/17 - Recinto Ferial, Tlaxcala - Alberto el Patrón & LA Park vs Cibernético & Psicosis II

So a lot of whatever in there but we do get a double dose of Park vs. Rush on a Monday/Tuesday, including the rematch of "the match that Ultimo Guerrero left in 2017."

Hijo de LA Park is in Houston on Sunday for this, but I think dad is staying behind.

CMLL News Post from yesterday:

9/1 Grand Prix and 9/16 Anniversario will be iPPVs. They think the GP will be about $6 and maybe like $9 for the Anniversario.

Anniversario's two headline matches will be Niebla Roja vs. Gran Guerrero and Zeuxis vs Princesa Sugehit, both por la mascara.

Juice Robinson has arrived in Mexico and several of the foreign Grand Prix guys will be sprinkled into cards over the next few weeks as a lead up to the Grand Prix.

From Tuesday's Arena Mexico show, I thought the Drone vs. Puma King lightning match was very good. That's a link to its starting point on the feed.

Just got back from Arena Mexico and it was a very interesting experience. The matches honestly were kind of meh overall with the co-main being my favourite. The atmosphere was amazing though. Unlike anything I've ever seen in live wrestling. Unfortunately it was absolutely pouring before the show so it was difficult to do much browsing outside the arena beforehand.

Also, I saw Rush walking around before the show so I was bummed that he didn't make any kind of appearance. I hate Matt Taven and so does everyone else in Mexico. Finally, I'm still amazed at how big a star Mark Jindrak is here. Blows my mind.

Konnan's steady joke re: Park's face is that his wife should be arrested for bestiality, so I'm guessing he hasn't aged well over the 27 years since then.

In case anyone missed it, the Puebla version of the Grand Prix Cibernetico was last night and it was good enough to get Honorable Mention in the MOTY thread:

VOLADOR JR., ÚLTIMO GUERRERO, EL VALIENTE, EUFORIA, RUSH Y DIAMANTE AZUL
vs
MATT TAVEN, SAM ADONIS, MARCO CORLEONE, MICHAEL ELGIN, JOHNNY IDOL Y JUICE ROBINSON

Watch it for Juice and Big Mike.

Last night I watched Young Bucks vs. Lucha Brothers from the 5/5 Crash show, it was very good. The video was shot in 4K and uploaded that way, so you can watch in extreme HD if you have the capability. Match was shot very interestingly, not necessarily better than normal wrestling filming but certainly way better than the quality we always seem to be forced to watch matches in when it comes to The Crash.

You can order the show on internetv.tv, it costs $20 for the combo pack of this show and the Anniversario. I don't think I can actually stay up tonight to watch due to other plans, so hopefully it's easy to watch the VOD on like Sunday.

I know the Grand Prix broadcast starts in like 20 minutes but I wanted to post that the Tuesday show this week had two good matches for me to recommend if you didn't already see them.

Fuego, Guerrero Maya Jr, y Drone vs. Tiger, Puma, y Virus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRAP6KMtgJA&t=3166s

Titan vs. Polvora (Match Relampago)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRAP6KMtgJA&t=4793s

The trios had 6 very good guys in it and they did a good match. The Lightning Match told quite a good story for the length of the match. Check them out if you have time.
