Lucha Talk

This week on Lucha Talk Fredo is out due to a power outage, but Dylan and MicromanFever are here to go over a huge week in Lucha obviously centered around Lucha Underground's Season 3 Finale and the shocking angle to close the season, the show's legacy in the wrestling business, and potential for the future. From there it's a return to form in AAA Worldwide covering Heroes Inmortales with conflicting opinions, particularly for the Reina de Reinas title match, with one liking it and the other not at all. Also this week we see the CMLL Leyenda de Plata Final, with a huge match between Volador Jr. and Carístico to determine this year's champion and a spectacular Trios match in the undercard, with the closing topic revolving around CMLL in Japan for FantasticaMania, with the lineups revealed for the NJPW tour!

Episode 53: CMLL 84th Anniversary Show

This week on Lucha Talk the day is here for the biggest show of CMLL's year and we got...a CMLL show. But with two mask matches to save it, was it enough to get the coveted thumbs up? Where do Zeuxis & Princesa Sugehit, as well as Niebla Roja & Gran Guerrero go from here? Is Gran Guerrero great or a great cover band? Why were there no dance numbers now that they are off Youtube? Who does Niebla Roja secretly look like? We discuss it all here. We also recap yet another solid episode of Lucha Underground going into Ultima Lucha as the last of the Gift of the Gods medallions have been handed out. In addition we get into the latest Alberto El Patrón lawsuit, AAA stars in Impact Wrestling/GFW/TNA, and DOUKI GETTING A TITLE SHOT IN JAPAN!

Talk to us about all the show, Lucha, México and anything else on Twitter: @DylanZeroSky - @therealfredo - @MICROMANFEVER

This show is dedicated to the memory of Ruben Juarez, Rey Celestial, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, and all the victims of the Central México Earthquake.

Episode 52: Boyle Heights PD Sucks

It's a banger of a week on Lucha Talk as we go in depth on all the week's finest action in Lucha Libre even without AAA Worldwide, as we talk about Lucha Underground featuring a 5-0 Street Fight and more Dario greatness, as well as a Look into the situation regarding Season 4 and an update on how things are looking. We have preview of next week's Anniversary Show in CMLL after a ho-hum Friday Show. And we do touch on AAA stripping Sexy Star of the Reina de Reinas title. What we think of how they handled the situation, and where everyone goes from here.

Episode 51: Elgin is a Lucha Guy

This week on Lucha Talk the Trio has yet another big show to cover, this time with the CMLL Gran Prix taking place we go over the México vs The World themed show and the last stop on the road to Aniversario. How was the iPPV? How did the main event go? How is Big Michael Elgin so grandé? All questions answered. Also on the show we talk about a pretty good episode of Lucha Underground and the bounceback episode of AAA Worldwide building up TripleMania!!! But most importantly the latest update in the Sexy Star situation and the consequences of her actions. Plus Octagón is back in CMLL, what's the plan? Why did they bring him back? Why is CMLL doing so much weird stuff lately? ...some of those questions get answered.

The 50th episode spectacular of Lucha Talk just so happens to fall on the day of TripleMania! After last week's epic preview we get right into it, breaking down all the big news including Sexy Star shooting on Rosemary in the women's match, a Torneo TripleMania nobody still understands, but most importantly the mask match main event which provided one of the year's great moments.

Then we discussed the biggest news in Lucha outside of TripleMania with The Crash bringing in a huge acquisition in Rush, CMLL involved in some strange dealings by their standards, but we break it all down here along with the ramifications including the dream match of Rush vs Penta El 0M

From there we go over a Lucha Underground episode that had Fredo depressed and a CMLL show which had everyone depressed.

This week on Lucha Talk the Trio brings in a special guest in the form of the great Rob Viper to bring in a huge episode of Lucha Talk, running down everything about the show including the Llave de la Gloria finalists, an amazingly confusing Torneo TripleMania, speculation on the main event and even a little bit of insider info on the show and behind the scenes leading up to the big show with incredible detective work done to make an accurate prediction for the main event.

Rob sticks around even further to discuss Lucha Underground and the revelation that Rob is a huge Mortal Kombat fan, and together with Dylan they figure out who the Scorpion of Lucha Underground is!

Finally the team run through CMLL's announced Aniversario Apuestas match main events in Niebla Roja & Gran Guerrero as well as Zeuxis & Princesa Sugehit as well as a very boring but adequate CMLL Friday show. Throw in a minor La Sombra/Andrade "Cien" Almas update from NXT and you've got one of the best and biggest shows of the year!
