Match of the Day - 10/23/2015: Negro Casas vs. Maximo!

Short Wrestler and Matches of the Day posts for the rest of this week. I'm sorry.

Today's Match of the Day is a CMLL classic that took place earlier this year: Negro Casas vs. one of my favorites, Maximo!

Wrestler of the Day - 10/21: La Sombra!

Short posts for Wrestler and Match of the Day for the rest of the week. I'm sorry.

Today's Wrestler of the Day is the incredibly talented CMLL wrestler and member of one of the most notorious heel factions in recent CMLL memory, Los Ingobernables ("The Ungovernables"), La Sombra! The pic below is of him newly unmasked. He was unmasked by the legendary Atlantis in a highly anticipated Mask vs. Mask match last month.

Here's the Mask vs. Mask match, where he faces off against Atlantis!

Wrestler of the Day - 9/23: El Hijo del Fantasma!

Today’s Wrestler of the Day is the “Chocolate Champ” himself, El Hijo del Fantasma.

Like many luchadors y luchadoras in Lucha Libre, El Hijo del Fantasma comes from a line of luchadors. Most notably, his father – El Fantasma. He is also one of the many luchdors who made the mass excursion from CMLL and AAA, citing differences with the former. In AAA, he’s enjoyed success as a former AAA Fusion Champion, and he is the current AAA World Crusierweight Champion. Nowadays, he has gained noriety for his breakout character of King Cuerno on Lucha Underground, who he describes as his “evil twin”. Cuerno/Fantasma is one of my favorites in AAA and LU, because he is not your traditional luchador. Yes, he can take it to the skies, but he is also technically sound in the ring as well.

Here’s one of his matches as King Cuerno, where he faces off against Johnny Mundo in a Steel Cage Match.
