Well maybe a diving headbutt to the floor, but that's almost the same bump.

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.

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.

To those who watch regularly, which of these looks like the better card:

CMLL (FRI) 08/18/2017 Arena México
1) Astral & Robin vs Cholo & Espíritu Negro
2) Esfinge, Fuego, Stigma vs Cancerbero, Raziel, Universo 2000 Jr.
3) Marcela, Princesa Sugehit, Sanely vs La Metálica, Tiffany, Zeuxis
4) Stuka Jr. vs Dragón Rojo Jr. [lightning]
5) Ángel de Oro, Niebla Roja, Soberano Jr. vs Ephesto, Gran Guerrero, Mephisto
6) Diamante Azul, Valiente, Volador Jr. vs Juice Robinson, Marco Corleone, Matt Taven

or

CMLL (SUN) 08/20/2017 Arena México
1) Fantasy & Último Dragóncito vs Pequeño Olímpico & Pequeño Violencia
2) Pegasso, Star Jr., Starman vs Arkángel de la Muerte, Hijo del Signo, Sangre Azteca
3) Ángel de Oro, Guerrero Maya Jr., Stuka Jr. vs Cuatrero, Forastero, Sansón
4) Dragón Lee, Juice Robinson, Rush vs Pólvora, Terrible, Vangellys
5) Diamante Azul, Matt Taven, Volador Jr. vs Euforia, Mephisto, Negro Casas

I'd like go to both ideally, but if I had to choose one to see live which would it be?

First one is a better show but the Sunday show is almost guaranteed to have Dragon Lee and Juice playing rudo which could be great.

Sammy Guevara vs. Ultimo Ninja vs. The King Fenix vs. Rey Horus

A 7-minute highlight of an all spots match with any non-spot content clipped out. Tremendous.

Daga vs. Garza Jr.

Fantastic pro wrestling theater. Garza's a really good heel.

Reminder that La Rebelion formed in January, and they're already in the Wolfpac phase.

RUSH invited Volador to join Los Ingobernables at the end of tonights show when Volador yanked off Mistico's mask


also they gave RUSH command of all the skeletons tonight

so the show ends with him kicking Gran Guerrero in the balls and then having Los Guerreros and maskless Mistico dragged to hell

More evidence CMLL is a shoot.

Can someone do a basic post on how to watch Lucha (like is there a RH for Lucha) and what groups there are that aren’t CMLL, which you can watch on Fite and NJPW (which you need a VPN for) and AAA?

Lucha is really easy to watch. CMLL airs the Monday show from Puebla on youtube at 10 PM Eastern. I also restream that on PSP-TV. Tuesday from Arena Mexico is also on youtube but the Tuesday shows are very skippable. The big show of the week is on Friday, you can watch it on Claro's website or the Marca Claro facebook at 9:30 PM Eastern. The Facebook stream is better quality and has emojis, it is far superior. Their two biggest shows of the year in March and September have been iPPVs the last couple years but whether that continues is hard to say, CMLL is very random.

AAA doesn't exist.

Most of the smaller groups there's IWRG which ends up on youtube pretty quickly, Lucha Memes which puts on some good shows, The Crash which just kicked Konnan out, and really a ton of groups. It's hard to keep track.
