05/21/16 - Cara Lucha - Hechicero/Barbaro Cavernario vs Black Terry/Bestia 666

January 03, 2017 by mark coale in lucha libre

Date: 05/21/16

Promotion: Cara Lucha 

Match: Hechicero / Barbaro Cavernario vs Black Terry / Bestia 666

This was the Cara Lucha second anniversary show from Arena San Juan Pantitlan. The match features three of our favorite wrestlers, along with Bestia 666 (the son of Damian 666). You may recall that Hechicero and Cavernario were a team briefly in CMLL after both men were in En Busca de un Idolo in 2014 (won by Cavernario). Sadly, they did not become a regular pair, as but Cavernario did end up as the fourth member of La Peste Negre. 

This ended up being a very solid match lasting around 25 minutes. There was plenty of hard-hitting action but nothing too outlandish. Cavernario did a tope onto Bestia in the third fall into the seats, but we did not see the top rope splash to the floor that worries some pundits. Other than that, we got to see the CMLL stars do almost all of their trademark moves during the course of the contest. All four men got chants during the match, with Cavernario probably being the most popular. 

After some chain wrestling and mat work, the first fall went to the independent team, as Bestia hit a muscle buster on Hechicero and Black Terry pinned Cavernario after the caveman's middle rope splash was met by BT's knees.

Team CMLL took the second fall when Hechicero pinned Bestia following El Conjuro and Cavernario pinned BT following a successful middle rope splash (with Hechicero holding BT in place to prevent a repeat of the first fall).

The third fall started with all four men brawling around the arena floor. We saw the traditional "beer in the face" shot by Cavernario on BT, followed shortly after by BT ramming Cavernario's head in the ringspot, busting the caveman open.  Once the action was back in the ring, there was an extended chopfest between Bestia and both Hechicero and Cavernario.  The match ended when Hechicero submitted Black Terry with a Rings of Saturn type maneuver and the caveman submitted Bestia with La Cavernaria. 

After the match, money was thrown in and Black Terry asked for a singles match with Cavernario, which was held in the same building three weeks later.

This match is definitely worth checking out. You can order it from Blackterry Jr. He can be reached on twitter at @BLACKTERRY,

Match Review: Team CMLL V Team ROH 10/29

October 29, 2016 by mark coale in lucha libre

Team CMLL (Ultimo Guerrero, Hechicero, Okumura) vs
Team ROH (Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, Kamaitachi)

10/29/16 Baltimore MD

This was first match of ROH TV taping.

Entertainiing match with the CMLL getting to do most of their trademark moves: Ultimo did his dropkick spot, the running hip over the barricade spot, the corner headstand/buster spot and of course, the Guerrero Special, which won the match. Hechicero got to do some mat work, hit the conjuro on Daniels and the flying knee on Kazarian. Hechicero even got to be the jumper in the Guerreros leap frog spot. Okumura did his implant ddt, but as a double team move with Hechiceto, instead of the draping version. Hechicero worked as the face in peril in the middle of the match. Everyone seemed to work well with each other, except for the miscommunication between Daniels and Kamaitachi, which led to their defeat. There was a post-match angle where they may have broken the Ghost Squirrel away from The Addiction. 

Didn't stay around the extra three hours to see Team CMLL's second match. I figured they worked the opener, so the guys could get back for the Dia De Muertes shows on Sunday. Oops. Very sad I didn't get to say hello to internet pal Hechicero.
