Short forward before we get to the list. I hate to state the obvious, but this is my list for CMLL’s best matches. Also, I didn’t look through Arena Guadalajara matches which thecubsfan posts. All of these matches are from CMLL’s Arena Puebla(which airs monday night) as well as Arena Mexico shows(which airs on Tuesday/Friday). I’m not saying Guadalajara matches aren’t good… as they can be. I also haven’t seen every CMLL match of 2017. If you think something isn’t listed that should be… say so! I’ll gladly watch recommendations that should have been on this list.

I’m also not saying there are the best lucha libre matches or the best wrestling matches of the year. It says CMLL for a reason, I think Dr. Wagner Jr. vs Psycho Clown would be within my top ten as well, though I didn’t watch as much AAA or IWRG and didn’t want to have 90 CMLL matches and 10 matches from those two sources. So if you have other great lucha matches this year tell me as I’d gladly watch them.

1. Gran Guerrero vs Niebla Roja September 16th CMLL 84th Anniversary

One of the best matches this year regardless of promotion or region of the world. CMLL is not into having guys main event anniversary too much. This has it’s pros and cons, with a match like this while neither man has had a HUGE match. It leaves an air of doubt surrounding the match, then Roja went AWOL in the last weeks of the build and it seemed like this match was going to be a disaster.

Instead it was a classic star making performance for both workers. If you have no idea who won I won’t spoil it here. This match is very much worth a watch, the video linked isn’t official and isn’t the greatest video quality, but it’s passable. As far as I know CMLL doesn’t have a way to watch it legally.

2. Último Guerrero vs Volador Jr. in the 2017 Universal Championship Tournament Finals July 14th

A fantastic story that references Ultimo’s greatest strength which is his corner game. Volador Jr. had to contend with this in a match where the two longest reigning champions of CMLL battled to crown the Champion of Champions for 2017. This match was a fantastic finals to what has become the most important CMLL tournament of the year replacing the spot Leyenda de Plata held from 1998-2009.

3. Sky Team(Volador Jr., Valiente, & Mistico) vs Los Guerreros(Ultimo, Gran & Euforia) October 27th

The best trios match in CMLL… which is really saying something when 70-80% of the companies output is trios matches. One of the matches that proves how good CMLL can be on any given friday. No need for a strange stipulation or a tournament happening to knock the Super Friday main event out of the park!

4. Leyenda de Plata Torneo Cibernético October 13th

If you can find a better match in 2017 with 10+ people in it… please share as that sounds like fun. The Royal Rumble is always fun as is the Leyenda de Plata torneo cibernético. A 16 man elimination match that did a fantastic job of highlighting so many talents. While WWE’s annual Rumble fizzled towards the end as Goldberg/Lesnar/Undertaker brought the romp to a slower pace.

5.Volador Jr.© vs Caristico 2/3 falls match for the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship December 29th

The best match of their rivalry this year. Volador and Caristico butted heads on several occasions as Volador Jr. teased turning rudo and throughout the year talked down to Caristico. This was the cap of that, though probably not the end. It was also the last broadcasted main event CMLL put out in 2017 and it was a great ending to the fantastic year Volador Jr. enjoyed in 2017.

6. Sanson vs Soberano Jr., La Copa Jr. Finals April 28th

Often times the La Copa Jr. finals are very good, rarely are they this great and rarely does CMLL so perfectly make both guys in the finals feel like a star throughout the year.

7. Ultimo Guerrero & Sanson vs Caristico & Soberano Jr. Gran Alternative Finals June 16th

Sanson and Soberano Jr. butted heads again later in the year here and would meet again in the Leyenda de Plata Cibernético as well as the 8 man Day of the Dead Cibernetico. A great rivalry that happened throughout the year and made Sanson and Soberano Jr. guys to pay attention to moving forward.

8. Soberano Jr © vs Barbaro Cavernario, 2/3 falls Mexican National Welterweight Championship Match October 2nd

The second best title match of the year. Barbaro’s first appearance on the list(not counting the Plata which he was in), but certainly not his last. He had other title matches this year and lots of lightning matches of note. This was the match that best highlighted him and gave him and Soberano Jr. time to spread their legs and really show what they can do.

9. Team Mexico (Diamante Azul, Dragón Lee, Euforia, Mephisto, Rush, Último Guerrero, Valiente, Volador Jr.) vs Team International (Johnny Idol, Juice Robinson, Kenny King, Kojima, Marco Corleone, Matt Taven, Michael Elgin, Sam Adonis) 16 man Gran Prix Torneo Cibernetico elimination match September 1st (TV Version posted by thecubsfan)

The 2nd best Cibernetico of the year and another 16 man. I prefer Plata over this mostly because it showcases the CMLL talent more and is a bigger honor to win. This was still very fun with outsiders like Kenny King, Matt Taven, Juice Robinson and Michael Elgin showing they can hang with the best luchadores CMLL has to offer.

10. Cavernario & Volador Jr. vs Último Guerrero & Valiente in the National Parejas Increible final February 24th

Normally the Incredible pairs finals is one of the best of the year. It’s lower than it would normally be, but that’s because Sanson and Soberano Jr. killed it to much in the Gran Alternative that it’s better same with La Copa Jr. Still fantastic and I particularly like the ending to this match.

11. Princesa Sugehit vs Zeuxis, Mask vs Mask, August 16th, 84th Anniversary Show

The first women’s match on this list. I’m not going to lie and say that I watch all the luchadora matches. This was a fun match, though a bit of a brawl more than a technical match, that sees both women throwing drink in each others faces.

12. Inaugural ‘Day of the Dead’ Torneo Cibernetico November 3rd

An 4 on 4 elimination match where the winner is crowned king of the underworld champion. What’s not to like? Hopefully, this becomes a yearly thing as it was very very fun. Sanson and Soberano Jr. fight here once again and continued to have great chemistry.

13. Volador Jr. vs La Mascara, 2/3 falls April 28th

One of two matches in my top 20 where these two meet. It’s sad we lost La Mascara after he and his cousin Maximo Sexy were fired for vandalising Ultimo Guerreros car. It’s a little strange that not with La Mascara gone and no longer in ingobernables(at least in CMLL) that Volador Jr. has been looking to replace him.

14. Volador Jr. © vs Cavernario for the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship

Volador Jr. had 4 great defenses of his belt and all 4 are on this list. All impressive matches, this is the 2nd more impressive and was just beat by the Caristico defense which was really the capper to 2017.

15. Leyenda de Azul Torneo Cibernético December 22nd

The sister event to Plata and the secondary version of that event. A solid match that had an all rudo cast. No good guys to be found as the baddies battled it out to see who was the biggest and baddest of CMLL in 2017 before the year came to a close.

16. Barbaro Cavernario vs Dragon Lee in a lightning match June 16th

Dragon Lee and Volador Jr. were in Japan in late May and early June. This was Dragon Lee’s match back and in my opinion the best lightning match(1st fall, 10 minute time limit match) of 2017. The two squeeze so much action in 10 minutes that it feels like 20, but of course the time is on the titantron behind the action.

17. Caristico vs Volador Jr. in the Leyenda de Plata Finals October 20th

This match was higher on the list, but then these two met in the last main event of the year which pushed this match down for redundancy. This match was good, but I think they improved on this match with their year ender.

18. Volador Jr.© vs La Mascara for the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship January 2nd

Great match that kicked off 2017 with an awesome title match. It was fantastic main event to start the year off unlike the first main event of the year the night before a hair vs hair match with Mascara Ano 2000 vs Maximo Sexy, who I’m not a huge fan of.

19. Stuka Jr, The Panther & Blue Panther Jr. vs Polvora, Dragon Rojo Jr. & Hechicero opening of CMLL 84th Anniversary August 16th

The 3rd and last match from CMLL 84th on this list. It was a very fun trios match. Stuka suplexed one guy onto another, BPJ double suplexed Polvora/Rojo Jr and Hechicero caught Stuka into a submission. It was just a blank check match and all 6 men cashed it. This is the trios match that made 84th more than just about the masks on the line, while the other trios matches on the card felt fairly stock.

20. Mistico, Valiente & Dragon Lee vs Ultimo Guerrero, Rey Bucanero & Terrible November 7th

Ultimo Guerrero as Xolotl god of death in lightning. That should sell this match alone. The last Day of the Dead show main event featuring great trios action.

21. Niebla Roja, Angel de Oro & Stuka Jr vs Gran Guerrero, Rey Bucanero & Luciferno October 13th

Fantastic trios action that was given extra time(it seemed) because Leyenda de Plata was going to take about an hour on the same night and this was the main trios of the night before that 16 man elimination match that was the main event.

22.Guerrero Maya Jr, The Panther & Blue Panther Jr. vs Misterioso, Sagrado & Hechicero November 17th Legends Show

I think the only match of the legends show without a legend. Or at least one of the few that didn’t. All 6 men did their best to impress on the show that was about old timers getting one more match in Arena Mexico.

23. Zeuxis vs Lady Maravilla, Lightning match October 31st

2nd luchador match on this list and I think Zeuxis next singles match in CMLL after he huge win at 84th. Made me want to pay more attention to the luchadoras as these two had a great match.

24.Sanson, Cuatrero, and Forastero vs Rey Cometa, Soberano Jr. and The Panther August 4th

The first trios match that features NGD working as a team. Though they had a fun year as a team, Sanson has been the obvious. breakout star from the team. Also, I obviously have to point out Soberano Jr./Sanson facing off again.

25. Mistico, Caristico and Dragon Lee vs Mephisto, Luciferno and Ephesto July 14th

The demons show they can hang as they face off vs 3 of the most popular tecnicos in the company.

26.Team Mexico(Volador Jr., Ultimo Guerrero, Valiente, Euforia, Rush and Diamante Azul) vs Team International(Matt Taven, Marco Corleone, Michael Elgin, Juice Robinson, Johnny Idol and Sam Adonis) in a 12 man Torneo Cibernetico Preview in Arena Puebla August 28th

This match could honestly be higher, but this was just a preview with nothing on the line and was immediately made obsolete by the full event which happened less than a week later on September 1st in Arena Mexico.

27. Stuka, Stigma & Fuego vs Dragon Rojo Jr., Polvora & Virus Nov 20th

All 6 talents featured here are more midcard names, but made their talent known vs one another here. Fuego being a intensely fun talent who isn’t often enough even the ball to try to make a more serious impact.

28. Mistico, Volador Jr. & Terrible vs Caristico, Soberano Jr. & Ultimo Guerrero December 15th

Caristico and Mistico feud vs one another, sadly that was sorta put into the background as Caristico/Volador reignite their feud which of course lead to that Volador/Caristico Main Event that finished off 2017.

29. Negro Casas(CMLL Tag Team Champion) vs Volador Jr.(NWA World Historic Welterweight Champion/CMLL Trios Champion) in the Universal Tournament semi-finals match to face winner of Block B

The best none finals of the Universal Tournament sees Volador Jr./Negro Casas in a breakneck paced semi-final. This match could have been better, but wasn’t really given enough time to be as impactful as it could have been.

30.The Panther Dynasty vs. The Casas Dynasty, January 31st Arena Mexico

Puma/Tiger vs Panther Bros. is one of my favorite ongoing feuds, here their fathers join the fray and it continues to be fun. I’d suggest any match that features all 4 of those men.

31. Sky Team(Mistico, Valiente & Volador Jr.) vs Flagholes(Sam Adonis, Okumura & Johnny Idol) December 5th

Flagholes, foreign legion or whatever you want to call Adonis and his gang make a huge impact vs Sky Team who of course are trios champions at the time and are still trios champions. Glad to see Okumura and Idol get a story and Adonis has had a very good year and this team coming together is a part of that.

32. Volador Jr © vs Negro Casas for the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship November 13th

Another great match from these two, a great title match for Volador Jr. to add onto his pile of great defenses for this belt Volly has held for 3+ years.

33. Caristico vs Negro Casas January 16th Arena Puebla Main Event

Negro Casa shows up again the 57 year old starting the year off by fighting the tecnico Caristico in Puebla.

34. La Copa Jr. Cibernetico 1 April 14th

The 2nd La Copa Jr. Cibernetico isn’t on here, but this one made it. Lots of great young talent all vying for the win so they can with the best tournament for their age/spot on the card.

35.Titan vs Barbaro Cavernario, Lightning Match Feb 3rd Arena Mexico Super Friday

3rd best lightning match of the year we see the stone age throwback battle Titan.

36. Angel de Oro vs Hechicero lightning match April 14th

Another great lightning match from arguably the best flyer(oro) and the best technical guy(Hechicero) in the company fighting, what’s not to like?

37. Fuego, Guerrero Maya & Stuka Jr vs Hechicero, Puma & Tiger October 16th

All 6 talents great showing how good trios action can be on any given show.

38.Negro Casas, Mr. Niebla, and El Felino vs Stuka Jr, Valiente and Mistico August 1st

La Peste Negra vs the 2 stout superstars in Stuka/Valiente and Mistico the youngest man in the bout.

39. Soberano Jr. vs Mephisto lightning match October 27th

Young babyface Soberano Jr. vs established leader of Hijo del Infierno Mephisto. A unique mash of styles between the two.

40. La Copa Dinastias(Just counting this as one event match sue me) Nov 24th

Kinda cheating as this is 3 trios matches featuring the families of CMLL. Panther Bros and father, Puma/Tiger and their father, NGD and Pierroth and his sons Mistico/Dragon Lee. Great group of talent and a great one night tournament.

41. The Panther, Blue Panther Jr., & Rey Cometa vs Puma, Tiger, & Sam Adonis May 26th

Great action and before Sam Adonis was pushed more seriously later in 2017.

42. Angel de Oro © vs Rey Bucanero, CMLL Middleweight Championship match highlights August 4th

Angel de Oro’s first defense of this belt after winning it earlier in the year.

43.Sanson and Cuartero © vs Stigma and Esfinge for the CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship October 16th

Title defense by NGD and probably the biggest spotlight Stigma or Efinge got in 2017. Was a fun title match and gave Puebla a good match.

44.Último Guerrero, Volador Jr. and Diamante Azul vs Matt Taven, Michael Elgin and Juice Robinson August 25th

One of a handful of matches that lead to Gran Prix. A nice change of pace as the foreign guys battled some of Mexico’s best.

45. Los Guerreros(Gran and Ultimo) and Mephisto vs Caristico, Mistico and Niebla Roja July 28th

Freshly turned face Roja teams with Mistico/Caristico vs his old running crew Guerreros+Mephisto.

46. Los Guerreros(Gran, Ultimo and Euforia) vs Caristico, Volador Jr. and Niebla Roja August 4th

Another Roja vs Guerreros match leading to his mask vs mask vs Gran at Anniversary 84th.

47.Blue Panther vs Sam Adonis, Hair vs Hair match August 4th

Hair vs hair match that too Adonis from upper midcard jokey rudo to a threat to all scalps of legends going forward.

48. Blue Panther Jr., Pegasso, The Panther vs Puma, Tiger, Virus June 20th

Panthers vs Puma/Tiger shows up again as those 4 always make magic.

49. Barbaro Cavernario vs Titan lightning match May 19th Arena Mexico

Another Barbaro vs Titan Lightning, nat as good as the other earlier listed one. Still a very good match as both men are great.

50. Virus & Black Terry vs Super Astro & Solar November 17th

Best Legends match from the Legends show, Solar and Super Astro still impressive and fun to watch despite being mostly retired.

51. Ultimo Guerrero & Sanson vs Atlantis & Esfinge Gran Alternative Semi-Finals June 2nd

Rivals Atlantis/Ultimo meet again both bringing with them younger talent.

52. Negro Casas(CMLL Tag Team Champion) vs Dragon Lee(CMLL Lightweight Champion) Universal Championship quarter finals June 30th

Casas and Lee go a mile a minute in this Universal Tournament match. They teased this feud alot this year, but they never got a full title/grudge match.

53. Ultimo Guerrero vs Mistico August 24th

Ultimo made the original Mistico with bouts like this. This match would have been higher, but nothing was really on the line.

54.Stuka Jr. vs Hechicero lightning match July 28th

Stuka Jr. and Hechicero try to prove to the other that they are the greater man in this lightning match.

55. Niebla Roja, Angel de Oro & Mistico vs Los Guerreros(Ultimo, Gran & Euforia) May 26th

Another match soon after Roja turned face. Teaming with his brother Angel de Oro who was the catalyst for his turn the week previous Roja refusing to beat down on his blood… as they say blood is thicker than water.

56. Ultimo Guerrero © vs Matt Taven NWA World Historic Middleweight Title Best Two Out Of Three Falls March 17th

Great match, but undercut by the fact that Matt Taven wasn’t going to win the title off Ultimo Guerrero after a 2+ year reign. Taven should have tried to win a belt that isn’t so cemented on a talent.

57.Blue Panther Jr., Pegasso & Fuego vs Sagrado, Tiger & Puma October 24th

More Tiger/Puma though only one of the Panthers. Still the other 3 men included are also great with Fuego/Sagrado being 2 of the best midcard guys on the roster… Pegasso is no chump either.

58. Sugehit & Sanely vs Dalys & Zeuxis October 2nd

CMLL came back from a 2 week natural disaster/earthquake hiatus. This match was one of the matches in that comeback week and showed some of the fall out from Sugehit/Zeuxis title match.

59. Rey Bucanero, Kraneo & Hechicero vs Diamante Azul, Marco Corleone, & Soberano Jr. October 30th

Great showcase for Soberano Jr and we get to see him throw down with Hechicero as well. I’m not in love with the other 4 talents in this match, but all of them still add something to the match.

60. Sagrado vs Triton, Lightning match on January 3th Arena Mexico

Triton wasn’t in CMLL most of 2017, but has made a come back in 2018. This early 2017 match shows how big of a star he could be. I like his new look in 2018 much better hopefully this year holds good things for him.

61. Negro Casas vs Dragon Lee lightning match in Puebla June 26th

Another match from that teased Casas/Lee feud. Hopefully once Casas returns from his injury in 2018 we get this match before the 58 year old luchador retires.

62. Niebla Roja(CMLL World Light Heavyweight Champion) vs Mistico(CMLL World Trios Champion) 2nd round Universal Tournament July 7th

Another fun tournament match from the universal tournament worth checking out though it’s relatively short as they had a whole bracket done on that night.

63. Mephisto © vs Caristico for the CMLL World Welterweight Championship January 27th

Mephisto defends his belt against one of the most over and well booked tecnicos in the company. Another great mash of styles, but not as great as Mephisto’s lightning match vs Soberano Jr.

64. Atlantis vs Hechicero© 2 out of 3 falls for the NWA World Historic Light Heavyweight Championship June 19th Puebla

I think the only match to feature blood on this list. Hechicero botched a running SSP and kneed Atlantis right in the nose. It was a strange site as CMLL from the last few years have had a no blood policy. A fun match, most valuable mask in Mexico vs Hechicero the most technically sound luchador on the roster and arguably on the planet.

65. Angel de Oro & Oro Jr. vs Caristico & Soberano Jr. Gran Alternative 1st round June 9th.

Team Oro did a good job vs Caristico and Soberano Jr. Flyers gonna fly obviously as all four men are fantastic flyers.

66. Mephisto(CMLL World Welterweight & Mexican National Trios Champion) vs Mistico(CMLL World Trios Champion) first round of the Universal Tournament July 7th

Mistico vs Mephisto, demon vs orphan in the Universal tournament.

67. Flyer & Volador Jr. vs Caristico & Soberano Jr. Gran Alternative 2nd round June 9th

Another all flyer match from the Gran Alternative.

68. Volador Jr. vs Mephisto January 6th Super Friday Broadcast

Volador’s first week of 2017 was impressive and lead to his great year. He had a match vs La Mascara above days before this and then also had this great match as well.

69. Matt Taven vs Rush March 31st

Didn’t have the stakes of Taven’s match vs Ultimo, but was still plenty fun with Rush here. The two going toe to toe, though not on iPPV like his match with Ultimo.

70. Cavernario & Volador Jr. vs Carístico & Mephisto in a Parejas Increible Tournament semifinal February 10th

A good match that saw Barbaro get a good spotlight on him. Everyone else in this match was a made man. Caristico and Mephisto made an interesting team and of course Caristico’s last feuds in CMLL before going to WWE to become Sin Cara was against Volador Jr. and another famous feud of his was vs Averno who use to lead Mephisto’s group before leaving for AAA.

71. Princesa Sugehit © vs Zeuxis for the Mexican National Women’s Championship April 8th



A fun title match before these two would meet in September in their historic mask vs mask match.

72. Último Guerrero & Valiente vs Atlantis & Euforia in a National Parejas Increible semifinal match February 17th

Much like they men in Gran Alternative Atlantis/Ultimo butt heads again. Ultimo and Euforia also have to fight which is rare as they are in the same faction.

73. Ultimo Guerrero & Sanson vs Mistico & Star Jr. Quarter Finals Gran Alternative June 2nd

Another great match from the Gran Alternative 2 flyers vs the rudo double team of Ultimo and Sanson both leaders of their respective rudo groups.

74. Los Guerreros (Ultimo, Gran and Niebla Roja) vs Angel de Oro, Valiente and Atlantis May 19th

This match saw Roja take a face turn, which was the first step toward 84th Anniversaries main event which was Roja vs Gran.

75. Caristico, Valiente & Volador Jr. vs Mephisto, Ephesto & Hechicero January 1st ‘Sin Piedad’(No Mercy) Sunday Arena Mexico show

Great trios match to highlights all the tecnicos well. The rudos could have had more offense, but that’s the way the die rolls some nights.

76. Último Guerrero & Valiente vs Dragón Lee & La Máscara in a National Parejas Increible eighth final February 17th

Another get incredible pairs match, Mascara and Lee have a hard time working together. Lee of course unmasking Mascara back in September 2016.

77. Atlantis, Stuka Jr. & Marco Corleone vs Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero & Felino on January 1st ‘Sin Piedad’(No Mercy) Sunday Arena Mexico show

Not all wrestling needs to be serious and technical. This is a great example of just having light/fun wrestling. Atlantis/Casas butt heads, Marco Corleone/Felino pair well too. Komonito/Perico have some fun as well. ‘Serious’ wrestling fans might look down on this match, but it’s their loss.

78. Sin Salida Cagematch December 25th

Cagematch featuring 10 midcarders, everyone tries to escape and the last 2 are put into a first falls mask match. Great way to highlight talents that are so often stuck on the undercard.

79. Dragón Lee vs Niebla Roja in a lightning match March 24th

Should have been much better, still not a bad match. Fun thing to note, initially CMLL 84th was going to be a mask vs mask between these two. I’m glad it wasn’t as I don’t think Lee winning two masks back to back would be the best choice for building stars as it would be putting too much weight behind Lee.

80. Diamante Azul vs Pierroth, Mask vs Mask at Homenaje a Dos Leyendas March 17th

Mask vs Mask main events between two heavyweight talents. Pierroth of course being Rush’s father and member of ingobernables while Azul is more of a lone wolf and doesn’t have any faction ties atm.

81. Hechicero( NWA World Historic Light Heavyweight Champion) vs Volador Jr.(NWA World Historic Welterweight Champion/CMLL Trios Champion) Universal Championship first round match June 30th

Hechicero and Volador Jr. could burn Arena Mexico to the ground in a proper program. This like most of the Universal Tournament Bracket matches was too short for my liking, but still fun in the 5ish minutes they were given.

82. Ultimo Guerrero vs Rush 2/3 falls none title match December 5th

Ultimo/Rush feuded for a few weeks and this was the best match between them. Hopefully Rush is the one to take Ultimo’s belt and at that time the two deliver better than this feud did where they often had sorta false/dusty finishes that left more to be desired.

83. Gran Guerrero vs Valiente in a lightning match July 11th

Strange ending to this match sees both me wearing one anothers masks.

84. Copa Natalia Torneo Cibernetico July 21st

The women get a Cibernetico, which was fun, but a bit sloppy since the women’s roster isn’t really on par with the larger more full men’s roster.

85. Caristico, Mistico & Dragon Lee vs Gran Guerrero, Neibla Roja & Euforia April 14th

Fun tecnico vs Guerreros match before Roja found his tecnico side again.

86. Niebla Roja © vs Bárbaro Cavernario for CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship October 24th

I find face, maskless Roja as… pretty bland. Still he can have good matches like this and will hopefully continue to have good defenses moving forward.

87. Puma vs Drone Lightning Match July 4th

Puma and Drone have a fun lightning match on US Independence day.

88. Último Guerrero & Valiente vs Mistico & Negro Casas in a Parejas Increible quarterfinal February 17th

4 great talents have a fun, but brief tag team encounter.

89. Super Muneco, Super Pinocho & Super Raton vs Rocky Santana, Mr. Condor, & El Gallego November 17th

Trío Fantasía make their return to Arena Mexico and have a fun comedy match vs 3 other legends who are sorta 2nd fiddle here to the more colorful masked trios which includes Muneco who is known to have the most mask vs mask wins ever… though most of those are at smaller indie shows and untaped.

90. Puma & Rey Cometa vs Cavernario & Volador Jr. in a Parejas Increible eighth final February 10th

Rivals Puma/Cometa try to put aside their differences to fight Volador and Barbaro in the Incredible Pairs tournament. Puma of course being the man who won Rey Cometa’s mask at 79th Anniversary about 4-5 years prior.

91. Los ingobernables(Rush, Pierroth & La Mascara) vs Atlantis, Stuka Jr. & Diamante Azul May 12th

One of the last times we saw ingobernables as a full unit before Mascara was fired from the company a month or so later.

92. Polvora vs Titan Lightning Match August 29th

A fun lightning match that see’s Polvora counter one of Titan’s most famous spots. It was nice to see and was copied about a week later in another Titan Lightning match, so I picked this one over that one with Rey Bucanero.

93. Ultimo Guerrero & Sanson vs Kraneo & Espanto Jr. in the Gran Alternative first round June 2nd

The only time Espanto Jr. shows up on this list. He and Kraneo make Sanson and Ultimo earn their next round in the Gran Alternative.

94. Fuego & Soberano Jr. vs Misterioso Jr. & Sagrado March 10th

A great tag match with nothing on the line sees 2 flyers vs 2 bruisers.

95. Místico, Volador Jr. & Atlantis vs Ultimo Guerrero, Gran Guerrero & Euforia from January 10th Arena Mexico Broadcast

3 of the most loves tecnicos in the company vs Los Guerreros.

96. Ingobernables(Rush and Pierroth) and Volador Jr. vs Caristico, Ripper and Kraneo July 10th

An early tease of Volador Jr. joining ingobernables and Volador continues to show distain for Caristico her which would continue for month with them feuding and having the last broadcasted Main Event of 2017.

97. Ángel de Oro vs Dragón Rojo Jr. in a lightning match February 24th

A fun lighting match between two very good talents.

98. Daly la Caribeña © vs Marcela for the CMLL World Women’s Championship

Dalys does a good title defense vs Marcela who is the go to challenger atm.

99. Johnny Idol, Stuka Jr & Drone vs El Felino, Puma & Tiger June 26th

Johnny Idol when he was a face teaming with Drone and Stuka vs the Casas family. Puma and Tiger also are fun as they always are.

100. Cavernario vs Rey Cometa January 6th

I’ll be honest, had a duplicate match on here so I threw this match in to fill the 100. Not a huge fan of Cometa, but more Barbaro is always good.
