WEEKLY PROMOTIONS

 

This CMLL weekly Lucha Libre coverage reviews four great matches including Jushin Liger’s retirement event.  The first one for CMLL’s Women Championship with Marcela and Amapola, Classic match and Classic rivalry by years. The match started with their abilities or (llaveo), a great way to know and weaken your opponent. Amapola had the first fall then Marcela tried to gain the fall with a quebradora, but Amapola applied a submission. The second fall, Amapola was dominated but Marcela had the victory with a double knee from the middle rope. This was interesting, two great luchadors with tried to conquest the gold. The third match involved the strategy to get the victory the fastest way possible by both sides. Since the fall began, Marcela tried to fight off Amapola had tried to defeat her rival.

 

The crowd was exciting, and the match was full of drama. Then by both to get the third palm, Amapola applied to Marcela a dive in the floor and then she applied a great suplex but the three palms never come. Marcela applied dive to Amapola from the apron to the floor. The dives are a good strategy to decrease the opponent. Totally dramatic, I could have called the match, one more time Amapola searched the belt with a spear but it didn’t be enough to Marcela. Marcela got up and with Michinoku Driver defeated Amapola. A great match, the first and the second fall were slow but the last fall had everything and Marcela still has her title.

The second match still was dominated by Laguneros and Soberano but the reaction comes when Forastero applied a tope to Gran Guerrero and Volador Jr applied a hurricanrana to Euforia from the top rope to the floor.

The Family war match, Muñoz vs Parks. This beginning since the ramp, in all the first fall the crowd was supporting to Parks and booed to Muñoz Family. I liked Hijo de L.A. Park vs Mistico, great feud. Park Jr make a tope to Bestia and then Hijo de L.A. Park applied moonsault to Mistico, and Bestia, but the best of the fall was L.A. Park applied a spear to Rush from the apron to the floor with the other ones, it was amazing and the crowd was exciting… and it’s only the first fall. The first fall was for the Parks. They come back to the ring before the twenty seconds.

The second match was to Muñoz Family when Rush applied a double kick in the corner to L.A. Park. The third match was controlled by Muñoz Family. The hits and kicks to Parks on the ring, the barrier, and among the crowd. Rush tear L.A. Park’s mask and Rush threw the chair to L.A. Park also he hit with the camera cable. Rush was insane, and he didn’t have compassion. The crowd was euphoric. The action was on all sides. Muñoz Family showed their Ingobernable side. But L.A. Park was inspired by the support of the crowd and the Parks make triple tope to Muñoz Family. Parks applied the same medicine as punishments.

The action is among the crowd and the commentators’ zone, L.A. Park punished with chairs to Rush. Hijo de L.A. Park applied a plancha to Mistico from the top of the entrance. Arena Mexico was crazy, the crowd yelled to support L.A. Park. We need to accept it, L.A. Park moves and connect to the crowd, Incredible match. The match comes back to the ring, L.A. Park and Rush ask for a mask vs hair match, they hit… those hits were incredible, these guys don’t want in the same ring. Mistico and Hijo de L.A. Park tear their masks and they had a great spot. Also, Bestia tear L.A. Park Jr. Wow, it was amazing when L.A. Park and Rush were in the ring, the crowd was yelling and make noise, this rivalry causes that Arena explodes.
