If CMLL and AAA could be cool with each other for a bit, it would be awesome to see both of them with AEW. Throw in DG, and I'll happy person for life, lol

so i went from thinking CMLL was scummy and petty af but upon reading more it seems AAA is carny and fucking pretty shitty too?

 

[Comrade Khan]

like in relation to pay and how they treat their talent, I mean

 

[Comrade Khan]

like from what i saw the main issue with CMLL is the leadership protects the old dudes way too much to keep their spot and dont let young guys grow enough , esp after the sister got coup'd

 

[Chris]

CMLL is more petty and stubborn from what I've always understood while AAA is more carny and has the more accessible product for foreigners

 

[Chris]

CMLL is pure classic lucha libre for the most part from when I watched for a time

 

[Chris]

Also when the pandemic hit, I remember a lot of people having issues with CMLL bc they couldn't work anywhere else but their pay was very dependent on the house....and it was empty arenas

 

[Jay-Ashley]

I misread what Jeff said, my fault. Yeah, both are pretty carny to each one's degree, but CMLL is very conservative in booking and other areas and tend to protect the older guys over the younger, though not always the case. AAA allows its luchadors to kind of do whatever within reason and allows some of their talent to work out of Mexico or even Mexican Indies. What Chris has said is pretty accurate as well

 

[Comrade Khan]

and from what i understand CMLL gets massive ass crowds because they own the stadiums

Classic Lucha Libre is hard to defined because you have to either pick an era or pick wrestlers to define it. To me classic lucha libre is more groundwork then than aerial, like Satanico, Pepe Carras, Ultimo Guerrero, Skayde, and so on.

 

[Comrade Khan]

whats the funky lucha sub style

 

[Comrade Khan]

that angelico uses

this is how I'd describe CMLL, it's not a lot of high flying compared to what most people think

 

[Comrade Khan]

love that shit, might low key be one of my favorite sub styles

 

[Jay-Ashley]

Sort of yeah, and they have been known to either pay people to come or slash prices like crazy

would it be almost accurate to say its the kings road of mexico? more story (in the ring story) based?
