Lucha Talk - Episode 8: Ocho (Cinco)

11/09/16 • 74 min

Lucha Talk returns with an episode for the ages. (Make sure to listen to the end for a blooper that saw Chad Johnson get inexplicably referenced in the original start of the show...it's been a hard week, people.) And on that note we cover a match with a finish so dumb it embarrassed us to give publicity to, as between that, a great brawl between Black Terry & Hijo de Diablo which featured a mid-match purse theft, and powerbomb.tv's signings with Black Terry Jr. & Carxyus, the indie scene was busy this week and it's all here. Lucha Underground & AAA both had their weekly shows, and more love for Dario Cueto & Averno ensued, as well as talk of the debuting Máscara de Broncé as well as optimism for the coming weeks of Lucha Underground. CMLL closes things out this week with talk of Máscara Dorada as he nears the end of his run in México, as well as one of the best Lucha matches of the year with an amazing moment as the torch was passed between generations before our eyes with Hechicero winning his first title in CMLL. Check out our own Raul Rodriguez's great interview with CMLL & Independent Luchador Tritón: http:/ www.luchaworld.com/?p=70586 Also see friend of the show Dave Dynasty's snazzy interview with CMLL Luchador Johnny Idol: http:/ www.davedynasty.com/podcast.htm Follow Dylan @DylanZeroPS , Alfredo Esparza @therealfredo , Raul @LIFERFEVER , and rate, review, & subscribe to Lucha Talk!

Lucha Talk returns with a show talking about TripleMania Tijuana, a show with many many issues we try our best to work through. With Fredo away Dylan & Micro discuss the entire card, questionable decisions and even to the main event we have AEW Star Kenny Omega returning to AAA to face Hijo del Vikingo for the MEGA Title. From there we talk about Villano III Jr. jumping from AAA to CMLL and our hopes for him, then a brief discussion of FantasticaMania for NJPW and CMLL plus the Atlantis 40th Anniversary Show which was a great one with even a strong Apuestas match to boot.

Lucha Talk - Episode 33: RIP Brazo de Oro + Micromania!
play

05/03/17 • 84 min

This week the Trios is down to a tag as Fredo is stuck in Vegas going to the Cauliflower Alley Club, and the remaining two round it out, for the first time ever it's just Dylan & LigerFever! (completing the proper triumvirate since both Dylan & Lige have missed a show in the past) Sad it was for such news that we had to lead off with as the legendary Brazo de Oro passed away Friday, so we each say a little bit about him and his career with one of the best & most influential Trios teams ever with Los Brazos! Then we talk about his son who wrestled in the main event match Friday and delivered an extremely heartfelt and memorable moment that had nothing to do with his wrestling. From there we go to the special Kids Day show featuring the heavily talked about mascots match in a match of the year candidate for FUN. Then a technical wrestling match of the year candidate happened as we go to Chairo 10, with Zack Sabre Jr. coming to México! Taking on a man very familiar with Brazo de Oro in Negro Navarro in a classic match. Finally we do to AAA who had quite an edition of Worldwide, and we take a little time to talk about Verano de Escandalo (card subject to change). Spread the word of the show everywhere social media is and talk to us about Lucha and everything else on Twitter @DylanZeroSky - @LIGERFEVER - @therealfredo

Lucha Talk - Episode 34: Crash & Burn
play

05/11/17 • 115 min

This week on Lucha Talk, Fredo returns from his Cauliflower Alley Club break with fun stories about many guests he chatted with or saw make sppeches including Big Dave Meltzer, Tully Blanchard, the GLOW Girls, among others, and his take on last week's amazing mascotas match! After that we get into another sad Lucha death with one of Lucha's most prolific trainers as well as a veteran and current Trios champion in AAA, Gran Apache. Stories of his great work and him being a star of one of AAA's best & most beloved storylines. From there we talk about AAA as well as CMLL posting very underwhelming shows this week, providing the burn to viewers. (Though next week both shows have at least one promising match) The Crash however shined with their updated youtube page delivering a few strong matches shot with a unique camera angle that 1 of the 3 kinda liked, thankfully they go over all the fun brought forward by the Tijuana based group. Dragon Lee & Volador Jr. heading to Japan closes the show as the guys break down the odds for great matches, could one of the two win their block, is "The Man" trying to hold Méxicans? All are talked about on a PACKED edition of the show! Follow the Trio on Twitter and talk about Lucha, Méxican culture, Elisa Tudon, and anything you want @DylanZeroSky - @therealfredo - @LIGERFEVER

Lucha Talk - Episode 23: Sam Adonis Mania

02/23/17 • 82 min

As always, Lucha Talk is back talking about all sorts of things going on in the Lucha Libre world in one of the more random weeks, but also perhaps the most mainstream weeks as well, with Luchadores gaining appearances on CNN, GQ, ESPN, & Conan O'Brien in the last week somehow. Dylan, Alfredo, & LigerFever break it all down. Also an extended breakdown of the controversy surrounding fire spots in Lucha Extrema after the Hijo de Sangre Chicana flaming table accident, including Dylan's failures with flash paper in his past life. (Although he still thinks it's safer than setting a table on fire) The show closes with full results and breakdown of the WWE México Title Tournament as voted on by YOU. Also the weekly Lucha shows get ran down, in the most literal way possible. Follow the Trios on Twitter @DylanZero0615 - @therealfredo - @LIGERFEVER
