Fuck it then. Doing it.

I'm live live tweeting New Japan, as usual, from @voiceswrestling

FedEx is doing DGUSA tmw from the same handle

I'll be chiming in with a few thoughts of my own, then maybe CMLL, not sure if we're bothering with Mania since that's not really our niche.

[BigBiss]

Does anybody know why Nigel and Charlie Haas hate each others guts?

because Haas is a dick

[BigBiss]

Its $45 less than Mania and guaranteed to be better.

and its got a NWA world title match ...

4/5 New Japan, go home show, semi & main are good, particularly the last 10 of the tag title match which is bananas.

My Abuelo watches CMLL and AAA religiously.

But he doesn't know English. Actually listens to AAA and CMLL radio broadcasts, too.

Yeah, I wish we had somebody around here who was super into it.

I go through phases, but there isnt enough hours in the day to keep up with everything. Plus there is nothing worse than when lucha is bad.

[BigBiss]

Lucha at its best is pure bliss ... at its worst is torture

[Bigpapa42]

I would watch a lot of lucha if I got paid. I don't think I could force myself to do it otherwise. The Fight Network here shows CMLL shows from 08-09 and I watch them on occasion... Its tough to get into.

CMLL and AAA have been pretty bad for a few years now. The last good thing they had going was the Averno and La Mascara. The last great thing they had going for them was Mistico. And that was like 6 years ago when he was wrestling the likes of Rey Bucanero, Ultimo Guerrero, Averno and Perro Aguayo.

Every year they got a couple of really good matches and the occasional program thats good...but its surrounded by tons of shit.

[Warner2BruceTD]

"Hey guys, La Sombra is red hot, and Mistico just left. So here's an idea, let's put him in an ugly t-shirt, and bury him in the mid card!"

To be fair, he's in the main event tomorrow. But holy shit have they botched his push.
