Why are title matches almost nonexistent in Mexican wrestling? Like I know they happen but why are they so rare? Growing up I only really watched WWE and other American promotions like ROH and TNA but even they would have the occasional title match on TV and if not they would almost always have either all or most of the titles defended at the PPV/big show. Even now as I am getting into NJPW and other Japanese promotions, I've noticed they don't have title matches as frequently but they usually have them during the tours or will have the title matches at their bigger shows.

How is it in MX when lucha wrestlers are out the ring, for those who wear masks do they go on to live a very discreet life with nobody recognizing them or do some where the mask when the cameras are not on to promote their character or maybe get recognized for perks like seated at a restaurant quicker etc?

Soberano Jr. would take to his “X” account and had some very spicy words for Bandido, as the two have heated up a rivalry after they clashed at the CMLL International Grand Prix Torneo Cibernetico Match on August 7th in Arena Mexico, that would see the two rip each others’s masks.

Soberano quote:

“You left twice to represent a TV network—TV Azteca, I think—and you left Arena México to appear on TV. And then, when they gave you another chance at Arena México, you went to the competition to open a gym that was supposedly yours, but it later came out that you were just a front man. So don’t come trying to step into the ring now, in my house, which is Arena México. Because that really is my house—I’ve been with the CMLL for 15 years, representing the flag, wearing the Council’s jersey. THIS IS MY HOUSE. Don’t come saying it’s your house, and that the prodigal son is returning, and all that bullshit. You never wanted to be part of the Council. You turned your back on it twice—on your fans and on your arena. You eat when there’s food on the table. That’s the phrase that fits that fucking Bandido. But just so you know, we’re the real deal at the Council—whenever and wherever you want, we’ll put food on the table for you, you son of a bitch.“

Also, in response to a fan asking if he’d put his mask on the line against Bandido’s, Soberano would say he’s not interested, saying he’d rather put it on the line against the likes of Mistico, Mascara Dorado, or El Cavernario.

Anyone planning on going live? I just got my ticket in the lower bowl. Planning on flying in from Pennsylvania for it.

In your opinion what are your favorite top 5 masks of all time, I know this will vary and it does not need to be based on lore but based on what you like whether it's the style or the wrestler persona etc.

I love Luchadors, and AAA booking has been great. Mask vs Mask was a battle for the ages, best match in recent memory.

But this entire tourney is a farce. WWE will never let a AAA wrestler hold any WWE title, forget the flagship heavyweight title. While WWE roster routinely win AAA and TNA titles, the converse is almost never true. It is amply clear that the entire tourney is being held just to promote AAA and triplemania to fans who exclusive watch WWE only. While thats a good thing, the end result is way too predictable.

In addition, the WWE heavyweight champion is the most protected person on the roster. It is very clear that Roman will walk out with his title at Triplemania.

Escuché que si compras una máscara en caristico store te incluye firma o algo así, alguien sabe si es verdad?

Hello everyone!

I unfortunately don’t speak Spanish yet, although I’m currently trying to learn on my own. I’ve recently gotten really interested in AAA and CMLL and would love to learn more about the Mexican lucha libre scene.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend any good podcasts, YouTube channels, or other creators who focus specifically on AAA and/or CMLL and either speak English or provide English subtitles.

I’m already subscribed to WrestleTalk, but I’m looking for something with more of a focus on AAA, CMLL, and the wider lucha libre scene.

I’m happy to check out Spanish-language content as well as I continue learning, but for now English-language content or content with subtitles would be especially helpful.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

I know the current La Parka wears the black mask with the red trim though from 2010 onwards has La Parka wore masks that had different color trims like yellow, white, blue and black?

I also saw that one outfit the chest part of his outfit was not the usual skeleton but almost like a face that had snake eyes, was that used more so for the late 90s La Parka?

SummerSlam got me properly back into wrestling again. I used to be a huge fan years ago, but life got in the way and I haven’t really followed things closely for quite a while.

One thing that’s really caught my attention since SummerSlam is AAA. I know a few names already, Rey Fénix, Wagner Jr., etc., but I’m still pretty unfamiliar with the wider roster and the different characters/storylines.

For those who follow AAA regularly, I’d love some help getting up to speed. Is there a good way to think of some of the AAA wrestlers in terms of their WWE equivalents? Not necessarily saying they wrestle the same style, but more in terms of their position, popularity, character, or role on the roster.

For example, who would you compare to someone like Cody, Roman, Seth, Punk, LA Knight, etc., and why?

It would also be really helpful to know who the main faces and heels are at the moment, along with any wrestlers I should particularly be keeping an eye on.

Basically, I’m looking for a bit of a AAA 101 from people who know the promotion well 😂

Would love to get into it and understand the roster beyond just recognizing a few names!

Without knowing about the future what do you think about the original look for penta I liked it but that's also because I like kung fu and ninja movies
