Lucha Talk

Lucha Talk is back, & Lucha Underground's back with it. The trio go over the return, "All Night Long" match and the decision to come back after 5 months with an Ironman match draw. From there we get to something many thought would never be seen again, a pretty alright episode of AAA Worldwide with AAA MVPs Hijo del Fantasma & Hijo del Vikingo getting spotlight. Thankfully things return to crazy with Verano de Escandalo results coming out and we talk about all the changes to the card, Apuestas losses & Vampiro's cake. Then things get more bizarre with an XLAW reunion, The Crash making more big moves with La Máscara & Máximo debuting on their latest show. Then even CMLL gets in on weirdness with an episode based around a Vangellys angle, as well as the Gran Alternativa tournament opening up with their Block A. Finally we give a brief rundown of Volador Jr. & Dragon Lee in NJPW's Best of the Super Juniors.

Dylan is back after missing last week, completing the trio again, and adding his piece back to the puzzle. After last week's insanity in Lucha, we move to more craziness as we discuss Lucha Underground coming back! On top of that, we cover perhaps the worst ending of the year on AAA TV as AAA continues to make their march towards an award winning year. Finally we scope out CMLL and their title situation, putting together our own tournaments for the titles, with different winners abounding for reasons you won't see many other companies come up with for potential champions. ("Because he needs something nice after destroying his car" & "He'll just book himself to win"). Only in Lucha! Follow the Trio on twitter @DylanZeroSky - @therealfredo - @LIGERFEVER AND email us!

On this week's Lucha Talk, we help make sense of the craziest story in wrestling at the moment. We present you the information and details about La Familia Alvarado taking out their frustrations on Ultimo Guerrero's car. It's implications on the landscape of lucha libre now with two CMLL main-eventers and a possible "real-life" betrayer of Ultimo Guerrero. It makes up the bulk of the show but we also bring you the most complete coverage for news relating to Lucha Libre over the week. Aswell as full in depth reviews of CMLL and AAA's biggest shows of the week. Contact the trio on twitter @DylanZeroSky @therealfredo @LIGERFEVER

This week is a special 25th Anniversary of AAA edition of Lucha Talk, as we run down some of the most important legends of the company in their time, with everyone from Konnan to Perro Aguayo to Rey Mysterio Jr, even Latin Lover gets a mention or two, but where would AAA be without these guys & many more, with even lively discussion on some controversial choices & dissenting opinions to round out an enlightening foray into some of the company's most important players throughout time. The second half of the show is the usual rundown of this week in Lucha, with a spotlight being shown on the Taya vs Ayako Hamada street fight from AAA along with Soberano Jr. vs Rey Cometa Title match in CMLL, with some fun discussion involving the (potential) Lucha Libre World Cup to boot! Talk to us on Twitter about AAA, Lucha, & anything else @DylanZeroSky - @therealfredo - @LIGERFEVER

This week on Lucha Talk, Fredo returns from his Cauliflower Alley Club break with fun stories about many guests he chatted with or saw make sppeches including Big Dave Meltzer, Tully Blanchard, the GLOW Girls, among others, and his take on last week's amazing mascotas match! After that we get into another sad Lucha death with one of Lucha's most prolific trainers as well as a veteran and current Trios champion in AAA, Gran Apache. Stories of his great work and him being a star of one of AAA's best & most beloved storylines. From there we talk about AAA as well as CMLL posting very underwhelming shows this week, providing the burn to viewers. (Though next week both shows have at least one promising match) The Crash however shined with their updated youtube page delivering a few strong matches shot with a unique camera angle that 1 of the 3 kinda liked, thankfully they go over all the fun brought forward by the Tijuana based group. Dragon Lee & Volador Jr. heading to Japan closes the show as the guys break down the odds for great matches, could one of the two win their block, is "The Man" trying to hold Méxicans? All are talked about on a PACKED edition of the show! Follow the Trio on Twitter and talk about Lucha, Méxican culture, Elisa Tudon, and anything you want @DylanZeroSky - @therealfredo - @LIGERFEVER

This week the Trios is down to a tag as Fredo is stuck in Vegas going to the Cauliflower Alley Club, and the remaining two round it out, for the first time ever it's just Dylan & LigerFever! (completing the proper triumvirate since both Dylan & Lige have missed a show in the past) Sad it was for such news that we had to lead off with as the legendary Brazo de Oro passed away Friday, so we each say a little bit about him and his career with one of the best & most influential Trios teams ever with Los Brazos! Then we talk about his son who wrestled in the main event match Friday and delivered an extremely heartfelt and memorable moment that had nothing to do with his wrestling. From there we go to the special Kids Day show featuring the heavily talked about mascots match in a match of the year candidate for FUN. Then a technical wrestling match of the year candidate happened as we go to Chairo 10, with Zack Sabre Jr. coming to México! Taking on a man very familiar with Brazo de Oro in Negro Navarro in a classic match. Finally we do to AAA who had quite an edition of Worldwide, and we take a little time to talk about Verano de Escandalo (card subject to change). Spread the word of the show everywhere social media is and talk to us about Lucha and everything else on Twitter @DylanZeroSky - @LIGERFEVER - @therealfredo

Another week of Lucha action, this time even more behind the scenes in the ring, as AAA & Impact came together in a press conference to announce some of their plans moving forward including AAA's International touring this year, and talent sharing with as of yet unannounced wrestlers agreed upon to appear between companies. Also on the American side of AAA's offices we touch on the rumors revolving around Penta El 0M (Pentagón Jr.) and his contract with LU. On the Lucha TV show side of things, we have a rare week where CMLL loses the battle with a show that we're unsure of if it was truly a Friday show or a Tuesday show in disguise. AAA sees the debut of Hijo del Vikingo and that's enough for Fredo. Of course, in between all this Dylan & Lige went over Sexy Star's boxing debut as they did watch. How did she do? Did she win on the Lucha Talk scorecards? Why was her opponent so short? Many questions, now and for her future. Follow the Trios on Twitter and talk to us about Lucha, wrestling, even boxing! @DylanZeroSky - @therealfredo - @LIGERFEVER Check out Fredo and his website LuchaWorld's brand spanking new Patreon with secret podcasts, unearthed treasures from the Golden Era of Lucha Libre, and all sorts of great content you won't get anywhere else: patreon.com/luchaworld

This week Lucha Talk focuses on the two main shows in Lucha Libre, CMLL Super Viernes & AAA Worldwide, with perhaps our most in depth show review ever of Super Viernes, running through many topics including: - The minis are going nowhere - The great La Copa Junior Block A match - Cuatrero's greatness and being one of the MVPs of not just the tournament but CMLL as a whole - The worst Hechicero performance ever that will never be talked about ever again by us - And our lead story, Niebla Roja's non-turn, and where this is going, what character he should have, and a bold Aniversario prediction from one co-host - Ultimo Guerrero & Atlantis: ONE MORE TIME And in between that show and a AAA show that was quite a mess, we briefly speak about Sexy Star's boxing debut, her opponent, and make predictions on the match. Plus Zack Sabre Jr. making his Méxican debut! As always talk to the Trios on Twitter about the show, Lucha Libre, and anything else you want: @DylanZeroSky @therealfredo @LIGERFEVER

This week on Lucha Talk, the show has a very special extended opening segment as the team reminisces about the career of the legendary Juárez Lucha Libre star Fishman. How he started, his names, his amazing mask, his rivalries and mask wins, his world touring, the end of his career and later life. It all gets covered. Sadly, the bad news doesn't stop there as we also discuss Joaquin Roldan's passing. His rise to prominence behind the scenes in AAA and his influence up to the later years. From there we go to Joaquin Roldan's former company, talking about the first show after Rey de Reyes, that Fredo defied the odds and returned again! (It might be the last week of that) The Crash had its big show, and we talk a little bit about that. A wild Cruiserweight match, a solid main event and an unfortunate DJZ injury. Finally CMLL had an excellent tournament this week with the Reyes del Aire, even with a surprise winner. It gets extended run along with a preview of next week's La Copa Jr. tournament, with the most random bottom of the barrel Luchadores around getting main show appearances and mixing it up with the future of the company. Predictions and a breakdown of the competitors follow.

Lucha Talk returns again for the 29th straight week, covering all the Lucha that happened over the week in the shadow of WrestleMania Weekend. First off we reach the conclusion of the Rey de Reyes show from AAA with part 2 this week that overdelivered on all our expectations, Taya and Hamada doing well, the Triple Crown Title match and the Aero Star/Super Fly Apuestas match being 2 of AAA's best matches of the year. From there a brief rundown of Lucha Libre at Orlando this weekend including Volador Jr. making his ROH debut opposite Dragon Lee in a strong tag match, Sexy Star in Shimmer in a surprisingly nifty performance, and the former La Sombra losing in NXT as usual. The show closes out with a discussion of CMLL, their Friday Show, Matt Taven, and Niebla Roja getting turned on by the Guerreros.
