CMLL on FSE for 6/1/08

For the show that aired Sunday June 1, '08 on FSE:

First off, this is not really a review, I didn't take notes, I just watched it. Just a quick run down of what happened.

There was no interview, just 'rasslin'.

Fabian El Gitano, Metalico, Mictlan   vs   Skandalo, Arkangel, Bronco III

Falls one and two I don't remember, on the third, Bronco did a torneo tope, Arkangel pulled off Fabian's mask and got Disqualified. Tecnico Boys win. Taking notes makes a big difference doesn't it?

Alex Koslov, Marco Corleone, Shocker   vs   Olimpico, Rey Bucanero, Atlantis

1st Fall:  This fall was joined in progress. Rey monkey flipped Shocker on the ramp. Rudos win this fall they pinned Koslov and Marco.

2nd Fall:  Rudo beat down continued for a while, until the come back. Alex and Marco do a dual roll up pin on Atlantis and Olimpico.

3rd Fall:  The match settles down as both sides trade moves back and forth for a while. Everybody topes or planchas everybody at one point. Shocker attempts a majistral cradle but Rey held onto the ropes and pinned him for the win.  Guerreros Win.

How do you like the noteless system? More than likely temporary, sorry.
