CMLL on Fox Sports Espanol for Aug. 24, '08.

CMLL on FSE
For Aug. 24, 2008

Just going over what aired.

La Sombra, Volador Jr., Sagrado     vs
Averno, Mephisto, El Terrible

Fall 1: Volador was hurt in the first few minutes, when he went for a flying head scissors on Terrible but Terrible didn't go over, he just shrugged him off, and Volador landed on his head. Volador was carried out and never came back. Rudos won this fall.

Fall 2: Also won by the rudos, even though Sombra and Sagrado tried valiantly to to compete two on three, Rudos won this in two straight. Nothing that memorable about this match, Average.

In the middle of fall two, they broke for a commercial and did an extended bit featuring photographer Rosalio Vera. Way too long.

They also featured three commercials for the upcoming Aug. 29 show at Arena Mexico. That's unusual, they've never done that before, showing commercials for upcoming shows on FSE US.

Hair vs Hair:
Pequeno Damian 666            vs             Bam Bam

1st Fall:  The action started fast with plenty of topes and planchas back and forth. Damian won this fall with a small package.

2nd Fall:   Faily short fall, with Bam Bam winning with a Fisherman Buster.

3rd Fall:  Good fall, with lots of action, Damian did a full nelson flapjack to Bam Bam. Then a Gory Special. Plenty of near falls back and forth. And more topes and high planchas by both. Bam Bam was on the apron, and Damian came running up and flipped over him and then did a running power bomb to Bam Bam in the aisle. It looked nasty. Damian then did a devil's wings DDT on Bam Bam that looked suspiciously like a piledriver. In any event Damian won and Bam Bam got the big haircut.

The mini's match was very good, and deserved to be the main event.
