Yeah, Lucha is pretty much the only thing I can sit through anymore.
I'm so tired of WWE and I've never been able to get into NJPW or ROH.

Here is thecubsfan's Matchfinder. It's an incredibly useful tool for watching lucha libre: luchadb.com/roster/matchfinder.phpWith all the different channels who upload lucha, sometimes badly labeled, this makes it really easy to find what you are looking for by selecting "include only matches with uploaded videos?". So let's say you want to check out every singles match Negro Casas had that is online, just use this and it gives you all the links. |

Villano III, real name Arturo Diaz Mendoza, one of the most successful Lucha de Apuesta competitors and a former WWF Light Heavyweight champion, has died today.
The third oldest of the five Villano brothers, Villano III debuted in 1970 as Rey Rosas before going under the family name and mask in 1973. He became a natural as a rudo teaming with his brothers, and found breakthrough success.
Villano III's most famous moments came as a tecnico in the early 80s, with notable matches against the original Tiger Mask, and big feuds with the likes of the legendary Gran Hamada, Fishman and Perro Aguayo for the original WWF Light Heavyweight Championship, which were mostly defended in the UWA at the time, which had partnerships with the WWF and NJPW. He'd win the title 7 times from 1983 to 1994 in hotly contested matches ranging from El Signo to Dr. Wagner Jr. to Chris Benoit (as Pegasus Kid) and Owen Hart (as the Blue Blazer).
He had a lengthy and extensive track record of winning Lucha de Apuestas, with notable wins over Perro Aguayo (hair), Super Astro (mask), Mascara Año 2000 (hair), Pegasus Kid (mask; Chris Benoit) and the Brazo family: de Oro, de Brazo, de Platino and Super Brazo (all hair). But, he also had a notable loss to CMLL's top tecnico Atlantis in 2000, losing his mask.
His retirement match was the 2015 TripleMania trios match with the Villanos (IV and V) against Psycho Circus, where his age and poor condition were displayed. His sons Villano III Jr. and El Hijo del Villano III are currently competing.

There has been a major title change in CMLL: Caristico has defeated Ultimo Guerrero for the NWA Middleweight title. UG was champion for 1,086 days (nearly 3 years), and had 15 successful defenses. |

More CMLL news, as Marco Corleone has vacated the CMLL World title. The former Mark Jindrak has been out with injury for the past few months.

Can we get the title of this topic changed to Mexican wrestling instead of lucha so people know what they're clicking on? |
