Friday, March 16th brings us the 22nd presentation of CMLL\u00a0Homenaje a Dos Leyendas<\/em><\/strong>, the company’s second biggest event where they pay homage to founder Salvador Lutteroth<\/strong> and\u00a0another lucha\u00a0legend, this year being none other than the legendary Mil M\u00e1scaras<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

CMLL Homenaje a Dos Leyendas Preview<\/h1>\n

Since last year’s event the outcome wasn’t great (people\u00a0weren’t happy with the results and the Main Event wasn’t really attractive) since Pierroth<\/strong> never had any big rivalry or bet match and was well known as Rush<\/strong>‘s father, the original Toro Blanco<\/strong>. CMLL paid the price and booking was rapidly altered in the programs to come, killing any kind of revenge from the unmasked Pierroth and Diamante Azul<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Welcome to the New Breed<\/h2>\n

September 16th at CMLL<\/a>‘s biggest event of the year in 2017, at the 84th Anniversary<\/strong><\/em>, bookers tried something that wasn’t their usual style, but they did it: a short but strong rivalry between two young stars: Gran Guerrero<\/strong> and Niebla Roja<\/strong>. Both guys held the rivalry against the scorn of purists, who were angry because no legendary masks were on the table. Nevertheless, the two youngsters gave a great match and everything seemed to be fine: Niebla Roja became a renewed luchador and Gran Guerrero stood tall, starting a believable run as a follower of the name Guerrero.<\/p>\n

Nobody\u00a0walked out upset\u00a0at this result, and between polemics and praising, CMLL gave continuity to the rivalry, giving us two stronger performers for the times to come. Everybody won.<\/p>\n

\u00c1ngel de Oro<\/strong> is the younger brother of Niebla Roja and son of Apolo Ch\u00e1vez<\/strong>, being a second generation luchador with strong basis on ground lucha libre and flying style. He is one of CMLL\u00b4s greatest luchadores and was in need of a valuable bet on his career. He is a former lightweight and middleweight champion, which is good but to be honest, little representative of his abilities, so choosing him for a major projection is something relevant for his status as luchador. And here we go. Who could be his nemesis right now?<\/p>\n

Cuatrero<\/strong> is one of the new Los Hermanos Dinamita<\/strong> tr\u00edo, a name borrowed from his father and uncles, legendary luchador Cien Caras,<\/strong> also known by his real name Carmelo Reyes,<\/strong> and M\u00e1scara A\u00f1o Dos Mil<\/strong> and Universo 2000<\/strong>. No doubt Cuatrero is one hell of an athlete, as\u00a0the 22 year old \u00a0luchador has it all: strange, speed, agility and in ring prowess. Of course, he has lots to learn, but at the same time, the impulse of his blood, gives him the ground to impress any lucha libre fan. Cuatrero may be a little shadowed by older brother Sans\u00f3n<\/strong>, but at the same time, the idea of competition, make them more vicious, more of care and it is working.<\/p>\n

Young Blood<\/h2>\n

Cuatrero and \u00c1ngel de Oro have been feuding since last december, even in Japan at New Japan Pro Wrestling<\/strong> combined event, Fantasticamania<\/strong><\/em> they gave us a great match resulting in \u00c1ngel losing the CMLL World Middleweight Championship.<\/p>\n

The rivalry has become bitter, with the two of them getting heat\u00a0at every venue they see each other. Sometimes, and this is one classic hole where CMLL\u00b4s booking\u00a0fails the luchadores, they go over and over on the same line (they wrestle together on four or five matches at the week) repeating the spots and wasting precious time of the rivalry. Nevertheless, this youngsters are rising above the odds giving a great spectacle.<\/p>\n

It\u00b4s difficult to give any prediction – both luchadores have a long career ahead and losing the mask can be something that put their names in lower charts if charisma isn\u00b4t enough. Cuatrero has barely four years of experience and \u00c1ngel is going for his tenth year; also, \u00c1ngel de Oro\u00b4s brother, Niebla Roja is now unmasked and has\u00a0won with fans because of his looks and experience. If Cuatrero loses his mask, he would make the name Los Dinamita, like a weak stable. The odds are the same for both luchadores.<\/p>\n

CMLL\u00b4s Campeonato de Parejas<\/h2>\n

Other interesting match in the bill is the CMLL\u00b4s Campeonato de Parejas where Volador Jr.<\/strong> and El Valiente<\/strong> will struggle against Rey Bucanero<\/strong> and the new Ingobernable El Terrible<\/strong>. Both tags have been doing great and the finals are one of the most interesting tag feuds on the last months. Volador Jr. and Terrible are in a big rivalry and we can\u00a0expect\u00a0Los Ingobernables stable making an appearance in this match. Rush and his father Pierroth are very close to give us something special on the previous match and we can expect their appearance sooner or later on this tag match.<\/p>\n

The rest of the card including El Ingobernable Mayor<\/strong>, Rush with his blood brothers Dragon Lee<\/strong> and M\u00edstico<\/strong> squaring against Sans\u00f3n, Forastero<\/strong> and M\u00e1scara A\u00f1o Dos Mil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
