I feel like it needs to be a schmoz next week, they can’t just do the same match every Friday until September

I think they'll use Park sparingly through the summer but I'd love for them to do a match with Park/Kraneo/Whoever vs Rush/Ultimo Guerrero/Whoever and set up Rush/Kraneo and Park/UG matches during the wait for the Anniversary show.

Any idea what time that's going up on Saturday?

Also if someone can summarize what's up with LA Park and why its a big deal he's in CMLL, as someone new that would help me out a lot. I watched the trios match and I thought it was cool but I could tell I was missing something that made it a much bigger deal than how I was viewing it.

LA Park is one of the best brawlers out there and someone with a legitimate wildman aura. He is rarely with a company for long since he will either get fired for crowd brawling, swearing, blading, whatever, or will get sick of the promotion and quit. He was fired from CMLL a few years ago and reportedly banned for life. So him coming back is a big deal just for that. He's also one of the last big stars from the 90s who can still go and has his mask. So his mask is a big deal, and he is feuding with Rush who has never lost his hair. They've had wild brawls on indie shows the last few years, challenging each other for apuestas matches back and forth. It was assumed it could never happen since CMLL would never book Park and indies can't afford to pay Rush to lose his hair let alone Park to lose his mask. So when he showed up in CMLL it was a guy who shouldn't be there in a feud people want to see and didn't think they'd get on the big stage.

I watched the whole LA Park/Rush match last night and I still think I'm missing something on Lucha Brawling, because it just looked like a lot of other LA Park matches where he just stumbles around and hits him and then mouths off at the fans a bunch. There was a Sabu vs La Parka match from MLW back after ECW shut down and I think it's 10x better than any of the LA Park matches I've seen the last 2 years

They did so much in this match and after all the early ringside brawling they both did really impressive dives. They did more than usual since they couldn't bleed... Traditionally.

poo poo, I don't care how 'fake' it looks, the Rush/Park feud is the only one right now where I can easily believe that at this point one of them is just going to straight up murder the other one at some point. You don't see that kind of emotion much anymore, anywhere else. At least not to that degree.

More feuds need to be booked around a guy killing the guy he hates so that guy will man up and accept his challenge.

im kinda surprised they didn't just announce park and rush vs taven and cavernario, losers have a hair/mask match then and there so they could have two anniversary show sellouts (this year and next year when they do rush/park). AAA booking clearly trying to gently caress with a hot program by the competitor.

Cubs Fan believes that AAA is not the reason for this main event and is just being used as an excuse.

And the gimmick is winners get the match in a situation like that, and while they love money they don't want a scene like happened last time.

Tonight's Puebla card is topped by LA Park, Son of The Authentic Park and Ultimo Guerrero vs Los Ingobernables. Park vs Rush in a small building is always great.

Personally hoping they use this to put a hold on Park vs Rush for awhile and start doing Park vs Ultimo Guerrero.

Hey what's the deal with Ultimo Guerrero? This may be a weird comparison but he comes off as a really old version of X-Pac, but with surprising agility for that age

He's one of the biggest stars in CMLL. Longtime rudo, teamed with Atlantis during his rudo run, then feuded with Atlantis for years afterwards. Took Villano V's mask after Villano had shockingly taken Blue Panthers, and lost his mask to Atlantis a few years ago in one of the biggest matches in the history of CMLL. Is a trainer and has a lot of booking power. Great worker, loves to raise the roof. Very strong.

Hijo Del Santo did an interview where he said Bandido and Rush are two of the younger talents he sees a lot of promise in, but then said something stunning. When asked about a mask match with Atlantis, he said he would be up for it and it would be an honor to lose his mask to Atlantis, calling him a great man and a great wrestler. I don't think there's any chance of such a thing happening but for him to even say it is pretty wild.

He is wrestling now as Santo Jr. In the same interview his dad said he's accepted his son doesn't have to be the star he was and is OK if he doesn't carry on the name. He also says he thinks his son is more athletically gifted than he was.

They took what could have been a really good match in Terrible vs Roja and made it worse by making it a tag.

In bigger news CMLL is back on Televisa, unknown what this means about the Friday streams.
