Lucha Talk

Lucha Talk is back and you know what we're talking about, AEW has arrived in Arena México! We talk about Dos Leyendas, the amazing crowd reaction to many of the new viewers who gave CMLL a chance and how hot the company feud has been. In addition we go over the followup, the Super Viernes show this Friday featuring the big time main event, Bryan Danielson vs. Blue Panther! We close the show talking about AAA for some reason, and speculate what the good people of Monterrey did to deserve the card AAA has presented them for their "TripleMania". Talk Lucha with us! Check us out. @Viva_Zero @MICROMANFEVER @therealfredo (he's not around much anymore but he'll always be apart of the Trio!)

Lucha Talk is back, get ready for the Clone Wars! AAA had their Rey de Reyes, one of their biggest shows of the year. Things aren't great as they have multiple re-gimmkck-ings on the table as well as a terrible injury to Hijo del Vikingo, their MEGA Champion. We talk about all of their many issues and then take a turn to greener pastures, CMLL! We talk about their torneo de escuelas, a showcase for the "newer" talents of CMLL and how this year compared to last. We talk about and give a full preview of Homenaje Dos Leyendas which is main evented by AEW talents! Which leads into the discussion of the CMLL/AEW relationship and how the Luchadores have been used so far on their TV (Spoiler: We like it) as well as potentially the future of the relationship. We close out with a bit of talk on Trauma I & Wotan and Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. winning the GHC Heavyweight Title in NOAH, the first ever Méxican GHC Heavyweight Champion! Check us out on X (FKA Twitter) and let us know all about any topics, but of course most importantly Lucha Libre and bug Fredo about him being spoiled with Ohtani to the Dodgers! @Viva_Zero @MICROMANFEVER @therealfredo

LUCHA TALK IS BACK. Dylan & Microman Fever have returned to the mic and are back covering Lucha all over Mexico and then all over the Globe. If there was a grade to give, the big companies get an A and an F, and IWRG & the indies as a whole get an I for incomplete for what's been going on. We talk about the best of the whole year in both promotions and hang out talking about some issues with AAA. We then bring it in to talk about the impact Lucha's made on the worldwide stages in 2023, with some focus on AEW's usage of Luchadores, to WWE and how they've handled Dragon Lee this year, all the way to NJPW and the FantasticaMania lineup coming up next month. It's good to be back, and good to kick off 2024 right in this laid back look at Lucha Libre and our hopes for the new year. If you got something to say about Lucha Libre, let us know. Reach out to us: @Viva_Zero @MicromanFever @therealfredo

Dylan and Micro are back talking CMLL's Aniversario Show we watched live, which also features one of the best matches of the whole year and one of the most emotional endings! We go through the rest of the card, and talk about some ups, downs, and a completely rabid fanbase at Arena México for the biggest show in Lucha Libre of the year, celebrating the 90th Anniversary of the world's oldest wrestling promotion! Follow us, talk to us, let Fredo know you miss him. @Viva_Zero @MICROMANFEVER @therealfredo

On this episode we go through the AEW tribute show known as TripleMania XXXI: México City in all it's glory. Very few are safe from criticism but there actually was good to point out on the show too that we go through. Talk Lucha with the Trio (Miss you, Fredo) @Viva_Zero @MICROMANFEVER @therealfredo

Lucha Talk returns with a show talking about TripleMania Tijuana, a show with many many issues we try our best to work through. With Fredo away Dylan & Micro discuss the entire card, questionable decisions and even to the main event we have AEW Star Kenny Omega returning to AAA to face Hijo del Vikingo for the MEGA Title. From there we talk about Villano III Jr. jumping from AAA to CMLL and our hopes for him, then a brief discussion of FantasticaMania for NJPW and CMLL plus the Atlantis 40th Anniversary Show which was a great one with even a strong Apuestas match to boot.

Lucha Talk is back, Fredo is out this month but Dylan & Micro are here talking about everything going on in CMLL including Máscara Dorada 2.0's sudden change along with the original coming back as Metalik, FantasticaMania making it's Mexican debut to bring in the NJPW talent and the big breakup between Los Infernales, plus the Méxican National Women's title plans that all are setting up the Atlantis 40th Anniversary Show. In AAA it's more drama. SB KENTo & Takuma trying to make their way, Rush's back and forth standoff, his brother getting involved, and finally we preview TripleMania Tijuana in full, the craziness involved and the big main event between El Hijo del Vikingo & Kenny Omega for the AAA Mega Title as we head to TripleMania Mexico City.   Talk Lucha with the Trio on Twitter!   @Viva_Zero @MICROMANFEVER @therealfredo

THE TRIO IS BACK! Lucha Talk returns after an extended hiatus with a feel good show with loose outline going over some recent and semi-recent comings and goings in both CMLL like the Rocky Romero & Volador Jr. feud & AAA like with AAA's many TripleManias and the big one coming up with Kenny Omega vs. Hijo del Vikingo. Then we talk about the big spots Luchadores have gotten internationally lately and how they're used. Examples being Komander, Rush & the LWO & even Stephanie Vaquer getting the biggest match of her career vs. Mercedes Moné (AKA Sasha Banks). The format isn't steady but there's a lot of fun talk and match recs too littered throughout. We'll be back at least every month going forward so please join us in talking Lucha Libre! We missed this crazy show!   Follow the Trio on Twitter and PLEASE let us know what you think, what you're liking and what you got to say:   Dylan - @Viva_Zero   Micro - @MICROMANFEVER   Fredo - @therealfredo   Also feel free to send Dylan a match from a non-Mexican Lucha company and it may get spotlighted next episode!

The Trio makes a return in the tough times of today, going over some bad news and good news and even traditional goofy news at times near the end. First we break down the recent accusations going around against Blue Demon Jr. and the horrific ones going against "son & daughter" of Sangre Chicana, then we somehow get to AAA and offer a little of the lawsuit with Lucha Libre FMV preventing growth outside of México (for now). Then we go over the entire Rey de Reyes show with big multiman matches, and a huge main event angle along with the debut of Andrade. Then we have the debut of Andrade in a debuting promotion, Federación Wrestling! Finally we talk about CMLL's latest screwups and how they blew up their relationship with ROH for dumb reasons. Talk Lucha with the Trio on Twitter! We're always there: @DylanZeroSky - @therealfredo - @MICROMANFEVER

Lucha Talk is talking what once looked like an unlikely show at one point that ended up not only happening but ended up being good with 2 great matches to close the show out in TripleMania XXVIII! We run through the entire card, what's been going on in AAA that led up to it in this weird time period with a lack of Lucha and suddenly Micro states his displeasure not only with Molotov, but their fans on top of it while Dylan asserts himself as the true top fútbol expert in Lucha, while Fredo brags about being from LA. But mostly it's about TripleMania. Talk Lucha with the Trio on Twitter: @DylanZeroSky - @MICROMANFEVER - @therealfredo

Lucha Talk is here for the 87th Anniversary Show of CMLL, CMLL Aniversario! We go to the show as voted on by the fans, and changed many many times based on the pandemic and positive tests, rumors, and the matches themselves where somehow Dalys still got in. How did the show do as a show and an Aniversario show? Let's go for it. Talk Lucha with the Trio on Twitter: @DylanZeroSky - @MICROMANFEVER - @therealfredo

Today we end up looking at the the second part of the CMLL boom of the late 2000s, going through Místico's historic run all the way to his departure to WWE in 2011. We go over things in the company starting in 2007, the year where Místico had a wonderful feud with Dr. Wagner Jr. and starred in a top rated Telenovela! 2008 sees a seismic shift as major stars leave and a legend loses his mask in one of the biggest upsets is Lucha history. After that, in 2009 it's the year of Místico vs. Negro Casas & Japan vs. México with a young Tetsuya Naito in multiple hair matches! 2010 sees the true end as we talk about the dropped ball that was Místico's rudo turn, the terrible Invasores run, and the year of some of the most random cage matches in Lucha ever. We close it off by going over Místico's post-CMLL run as Sin Cara, Myzteziz & back to CMLL as Carístico in the Shadow of the 2000s boom.

This week on Lucha Talk we start a series based on the last boom period of CMLL, going through the mid to late 2000s. In part 1 we look through CMLL from the rise of Místico and through that peak, starting with a recap of the years 2004, 2005, & 2006. What was going on throughout the year? Who was the original plan to be the next big star instead of Místico? How great was Perro Aguayo Jr.? What about the big stars at the time who were established like Universo 2000, Hijo del Santo. The women return to Arena México after years away. Early La Máscara even gets mentioned!? Nearly everything in CMLL is covered from those years and it's only part 1!

Hola, mis amigos y amigas. The Trio is back talking a classic and fondly remembered show in Lucha Libre history, the one that started it all for Lucha fans. AAA's When Worlds Collide! The show that drew 13,000 fans into LA and made it's US PPV debut featuring a large contingent of AAA talent along with some WCW push in America. We talk a bit about the buildup to the show and why it happened, plus why it's NOT available on the WWE Network to this day, then we break down the 5 match show top to bottom. From the minis opener to the tag team match that holds a legacy to all Lucha Libre fans to this day. Eddie Guerrero and Art Barr vs. Octagón & El Hijo del Santo. It's all covered here and the crowd along with the much hated Konnan are talked about as well in depth.

Lucha Talk is back with a show completely about a singular Luchador and someone highly influential to this day as a worldwide star. On this show Dylan, Alfredo, & Micro talk about Manny Alfonso Andrade Oropeza, known currently in WWE as Andrade, but before his leaving to WWE, we give a full breakdown of who Lucha fans know him best as: La Sombra. We start from the beginnings of the gimmick of La Sombra before Andrade started it, his father and his beginnings in Lucha before getting into his 9 year CMLL run in depth, from Brillante Jr. to someone who moved up the card very early on in his career as well as a look at CMLL at the time, some of his standout matches and then his growth through his rudo turn and him being an integral part of Los Ingobernables and his rise up through the entire world of wrestling, before touching on his WWE run and how he's held up against all of our expectations leaving, and his potential future going forward.
