Thank you for posting this. I love lucha but man is CMLL the most inaccessible wrestling fed on the planet. AAA is as easy to follow as WWE with their YouTube channel but I cannot find any way to watch CMLL, not even their major shows. I'll try and check out that woo stream.

Minus1Minus1 posted:Not sure if this might be better for the general questions thread, but would anyone be willing to expand on differences between the Lucha style and the WWE style? I think you described it yourself pretty well, more cooperative offense, aerial moves, shorter selling. Of course it varies even within lucha, if you watched some heavier guys like Chessman vs. Monster Clown or whoever then it would look pretty similar to a WWE paced match. Lucha has a much much heavier emphasis on tag, trio, and 4 man tag matches compared to WWE, and in lucha you don't have to tag out, if you just leave the ring or get thrown out of the ring your partner can come in. It makes for a much more frantic pace. Burt Buckle fucked around with this message at 09:03 on Mar 27, 2015 |

Great White Hope posted:Where did you get the Fenix and Sexy Star masks? I have a Rey one (except Red where your yellow is, I think) and I want more. I get them from eBay. Rafael0666 and Mr. Mask Man are the shops I get masks from. I have a Blue Demon and Psychosis one on the way.

Illinois Smith posted:Also in CMLL (and a lot of other non-AAA places) everything that isn't announced as a lightning match is usually 2/3 falls. Trios teams have a captain that is announced before the match, if you pin / submit him the fall is over, if not you need a second pin / submission on someone else to win the fall. That's why you often see falls end with multiple pins or submissions at once. I know kayfabe is dead and all but the way CMLL has the multiple pins or submission happen at the same time seems unrealistic and lazy.

I'm pretty pumped that CMLL now posts their Monday shows on YouTube. Does that other site save the Friday streams in a library or is it a one time only viewing?

Boco_T posted:I don't think they get archived but thecubsfan posts them on Tuesdays https://www.youtube.com/user/thecubsfan Thanks, I was never sure what shows he was posting videos from and it's difficult to navigate thecubsfan site without having results spoiled. CMLL and AAA have to satisfy me until Dario Cueto finds a new temple.

Is there some sort of backstory to Diamanté Azul being a Blue Demon ripoff? They have nearly identical masks and Blue Diamond is I assume a play on Blue Demon.

I hope more people don't leave AAA. I much prefer their style to CMLL.

Maybe with all the departures from AAA, the Lucha Underground stars can get more prominent roles. Fenix, Drago, Hijo Del Fantasma, and Pentagon Jr. make for better matches than Alberto, Rey, and Myzteziz anyway.
