Current Lucha Talk

I don't know how Mexican copyright law works (it certainly seems less...enforced from what I've seen), but perhaps them now making money off their Youtube shows is why they are doing the dubbing now.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. 

We'll see next Friday how the live Mi Muero goes... Come on now CMLL.

Also, GrandSlam Mexico seems to be happening sometime in August, per Luchablog.

Mistico is actually working the main event I believe. And if Angel de Oro gets something out of 2026 SANADA/Togo, he's definitely the ultimate Swiss knife of lucha libre. 

He's technically working the Tiger Mask trios on the road to TM's retirement. So he's got the night off.  I don't begrudge him because I wouldn't look to punch my bump card for this show if I didn't have to, but I'm not here to be selfless!

Oh sorry, I didn't get it 😀.

No comments needed. CMLL did it right.

There has been talk of it, but Coach TK absolutely needs to get Natalia Jiménez (got confused last time with her name, sorry about that) to sing Me Muero at Grandslam Mexico this year whenever it happens.

Can we get her at All In as well? Maybe Mistico/Okada? Is that really asking too much?

Not sure those English fellows would know the words, but it would not matter. Yeah. Do it. 

How in the hell the ROH version of Volador Jr. vs Bandido has a MUCH BETTER sound mix than the CMLL usual Arena Mexico sound ? If that sound mix is do-able, with clear ring sounds and THE CROWD, why we don't get that on regular CMLL broadcast ? I know about the stupid intro themes being hidden under generic music, but once the match starts, please.

The best I can surmise is simply that CMLL is beyond stubborn in how they produce their shows, which in turn is beyond frustrating. Unclear how folks who aren't in the building can rave about the crowds when they're nearly muted for our purposes, but its a real buzzkill.
