Part of the "lack of defenses, lack of challengers" thing with Gran Guerrero has to be that there just isnt a Heavyweight division to speak of in #CMLL , right?

If Esfinge is a Light Heavyweight, then who is credible and large enough to challange at Heavyweight? (Akuma? Please?)

Akuma & The Devils vs H. Stuka Jr,Felino Jr and Cobarde was my favorite #CMLL match in months.

A sense of focus and competitive realism that I find lacking in most CMLL tags, a refreshing chemistry, a large handful of impressive spots and a healthy dose of big dudes throwing small dudes. LOVED IT.

When Angel De Oro does his "bongo hands" gesture, you know the match has entered the final stretch. #cmll

3rd fall of Chavez Bros vs Templario and Atlantis Jr was excellent. Great chemistry. Alot of good nearfall and counter work.

Alot of tag team stuff in CMLL, for me, is formulaic and repetitive. Paint by numbers. This match was NOT that.

Oro and Roja are the best Tag Team in the world. #cmll

August 5th, 2025. Take me back, Arena Mexico.

Can't overstate how amazing of an experience I had going to the tuesday and friday shows. Truly Pro Wrestling Mecca. #CMLL

I'm just digging into the Vampiro stuff, but im hoping I find a Rey Bucanero vs. Vampiro match where they just Big Man Kick the shit out of each other for 20 minutes.

Big Boot vs. Thrust Kick/Spin Kick. #CMLL

Vampiro in #cmll in the early 2000s is an interesting watch.

Hes fucking massive for cmll, even compared to bigger guys there. He can be quick and explosive in little moments, but he has this clunky idiosyncratic way about the way he moves and sells. Not sloppy, just DIFFERENT. It's refreshing.

Imagine my delight in seeing Mil Mascaras used as a food truck logo at Octoberfest in Iowa. Also my lovely wife, who wanted to be in the picture. #CMLL #WrestleSky 🤼

King Sorcerer.

This velvet kit is perfect for him, hope he keeps it as his standard one. #CMLL

Tightrope Springboard Dropkick TO THE ASS. #CMLL

From my ignorant American perspective, Arena Mexico needs to fucking get over it with Atlantis Jr.

Unless it's like an ironic, affectionate booing at this point?

He is a god damn good wrestler, and he's leagues better than a lot of other Hijos and Jrs that get consistent booking. #CMLL

Temp wearing classic Seahawks colors paired with Atlantis and Jr's blues is an aesthetically delightful team. #CMLL
October 5, 2025 at 4:31 PM
I'm just noticing that Atlantis Jr. has color matching boas and tye-dye pants, and also comes out to guitar-heavy American classic rock. You trying to tell us something, BROTHER? #CMLL

Every Ultimo Guerrero / Rey Bucanero celebratory hug is incredible, but here is the best one.

U.G. doesn't anticipate Rey going to his knees so he misses high on the hug and just flings himself over the top rope. #CMLL

I fucking LOVE Big Boom AJ. Don't really care if his "moment" has passed, hes delightful. I love his 90s indie-ass work style. I love his exaggerated, guest/celebrity power scaling.

He can obliterate lower card guys with body slams and punches for as long as he wants to. Its fun. #AEW #WrestleSky 🤼

Hopefully Takeshita, Fletcher and Alexander splinter off of DCF and form "The Triumvirate"

Their entrance music would be "The Eminent Rise Of The Triumvirate" from Sea of Stars, and they would never, ever lose a trios match. #aew #WrestleSky 🤼

Cubsfan mentioned that the World Tag Titles are the only "over" titles in CMLL, and for good reason.

The Chavez Brothers are an EXCELLENT tag team and now have the longest reign ever.

Also Im finding that a ton of my favorite matches from the 2000s are for the tag titles. So many good teams. #CMLL

Blue Panther: American Indie Champion, Underdog High Flyer whose signature moves are the the Apron Senton and the Apron Huricanrana #CMLL

The mere idea or suggestion created by Mance Warner's presence in this TNA invasion of him being sanitized by NXT is very upsetting to me. #WrestleSky 🤼

Once Villano III Jr. has a bit more presence / rudo swagger (which is the one thing H.D. Villano III has over him) and experience he is going to be IT.

In terms of presentation and crowd connection, they are already there. We are all READY for these guys to get to the top of the card. #CMLL

Had the incredibly short sighted thought : "man, are Dorada and Neon better high flyers than Mistico was in the early to mid 2000s?"

Went back and watched some prime Mistico, and I can report that lol no, they are not. Prime Mistico was the GodKing of jump-flip-spin. #CMLL

Finally solved the mystery of how the hell the viewer or the ref can tell Calavera Jr I and II apart.

There is a small roman numeral I and II on the back right of their masks, respectively.

Otherwise, from what I can tell, their physique, height, and gear are completely identical. #CMLL

I just watched "Bashed In The USA" on the WWE Vault.

I think it has the best Virgil match ever? By like a pretty wide margin. Its VS Shawn. Virgil shows some good timing in some quick(ish) exchanges, has some nice hope spots and does everything he is capable of doing well. #WrestleSky 🤼
