KIRA ONE OF THE BEST CMLL STAGE DIVES I'VE EVER SEEN
#cmll

[J. Daniel Rollins @JDanielRollins]

So many people raving about Kira tonight. I wrote a while back that I thinks he's the next woman CMLL should build around. You can read that here: https://t.co/2timFmGvss

@luchablog @RobViper I've been encouraged to send this to you two to help get the word out. We're doing awards with The Luchadora Project this year. The ballot is here: https://t.co/7moznDMWCJ

[J. Daniel Rollins @JDanielRollins]

@elClubLucha Perhaps a luchadora match of the year for The Luchadora Project Awards? https://t.co/7moznDNush

[J. Daniel Rollins @JDanielRollins]

@violetEnjoyer As a fan of CMLL's women's division, wanted to let you know about The Luchadora Project Awards. https://t.co/Ls5j1UkTvK

[J. Daniel Rollins @JDanielRollins]

I’m going to laugh when they let SLK get the pin on Persephone after what felt like an eternity of watching Perse pin Tessa.

[J. Daniel Rollins @JDanielRollins]

@roylucier I'll take your word for it, but it was a terrible finish. It made the four-way decision even dumber in retrospect. If they're not going to put the belt on Tessa, they need to move on to a different opponent. Though I still suspect it's coming eventually.

Voting for the inaugural Luchadora Project Awards is now open. You can learn more here: https://t.co/Ls5j1UkTvK

[J. Daniel Rollins @JDanielRollins]

I’m still so annoyed by that terrible women’s title match. If that was the finish, you didn’t need the outsiders. I’m ready to quit covering this division.

(Of course I won’t and I’ll still be here in October.)

[J. Daniel Rollins @JDanielRollins]

I wrote this in July when I thought she was going to win the title, but the truth still stands. Sharing it again today because I expect her to win tonight.

@violetEnjoyer Were the only two fans of the division on earth.

[J. Daniel Rollins @JDanielRollins]

@violetEnjoyer My assumption is Tessa wins and we rarely see Persephone in CMLL moving forward.

[J. Daniel Rollins @JDanielRollins]

@violetEnjoyer I honestly think Tessa wins but pins Mina to protect the TBS title, because that’s how things go now.

[J. Daniel Rollins @JDanielRollins]

@violetEnjoyer @gothamgrrls I’ve got a lot of luchadora stuff up already if you’re interested. My big thing is profiles on lesser utilized luchadoras. So far: Candela, Sanely, and Hécate.

[J. Daniel Rollins @JDanielRollins]

@violetEnjoyer @gothamgrrls I’ve got an article coming up on the Luchadora Project later this weekend on this subject, but it’s absurd what women are working and who aren’t. The stardom Trio will have worked 18 matches by the end of this run. To put that perspective, Persephone has worked 32 matches.

[J. Daniel Rollins @JDanielRollins]

@akamaxpower It’ll probably happen in Arena Mexico at this point.

[J. Daniel Rollins @JDanielRollins]

@RobViper I thought for sure they would’ve made the switch in the July match.

[J. Daniel Rollins @JDanielRollins]

@RobViper I’ve been calling it for a while. I don’t mind it as much because she’s at least with the company and is the most protected technica they have. But the way they’re even going about it is dumb too. I hate that match lol

[J. Daniel Rollins @JDanielRollins]

@luchabutch I think they will have appeared on 13 shows by the time the weekend is over. I’d love to see some actual amazonas.

[J. Daniel Rollins @JDanielRollins]

@RobViper @BigWoodieStyle I’ll probably see what October brings (considering my whole thing is covering the women’s division) but I’m pretty bummed by the state of things.
