点评:Going to a CMLL show at Arena México was one of the most fun nights of our entire CDMX trip. The energy in the room was unreal. All 10,000 fans were either cheering the heroes or booing the villains, and once you settle into the rhythm of it you can't help but join in. The acrobatics and sheer strength of these wrestlers were honestly jaw dropping. Flying off the top rope, three person aerial sequences, the masks, the costumes, the showmanship. It's a real spectacle.
The main event was a ROH World Championship match where Volador Jr. defeated El Bandido to take the belt. The crowd absolutely lost it. Volador Jr. is the son of the original Volador, which we learned is a whole tradition here. So many of the wrestlers carry a "Jr." in their name because they're literally the sons of legendary luchadores who came before them. Multi-generational masks. We loved that.
The one thing I'd love to see added is a bit more between the matches. Maybe a quick announcer break, or short interviews with the wrestlers so the crowd gets to "know" them a little better. With so many luchadores across the night, a little personality and backstory would go a long way.
Bonus: after the show we got a photo with Star Jr., one of the winners of the Copa Jr. VIP 2026 eliminatoria. Super gracious about it. The wrestlers seem genuinely happy to interact with fans on the way out.
Pro tip: get there about an hour early and head to the food hall directly across the street. About 15 stalls, mostly tacos and pizza, plenty of micheladas and margaritas, and the night we went they had a Mexican fútbol match on the screens. When Mexico scored, the whole place lost it. Such a fun warm up to the main event.
Five stars across the board. If you're in Mexico City on a Tuesday, Friday, or Sunday, do not miss this.
翻译:在墨西哥城竞技场观看CMLL的比赛是我们整个墨西哥城之旅中最精彩的夜晚之一。现场气氛简直太棒了。一万名观众要么为英雄欢呼,要么为反派喝倒彩,一旦你融入其中,就忍不住加入其中。这些摔跤手的杂技动作和惊人力量着实令人叹为观止。从上绳飞跃而下,三人空中组合技,还有面具、服装和表演技巧,真是一场视觉盛宴。
主赛是ROH世界冠军赛,Volador Jr.击败El Bandido夺得冠军腰带。全场观众彻底沸腾了。Volador Jr.是初代Volador的儿子,我们了解到这在当地是一个传统。很多摔跤手的名字里都带有“Jr.”,因为他们确实是前辈传奇摔跤手的儿子。这种代代相传的面具真是太棒了。我们非常喜欢这一点。
我最希望看到的是比赛间隙能多一些互动环节。比如短暂的解说休息,或者对摔跤手进行简短的采访,让观众对他们有更多了解。当晚有这么多摔跤手参赛,如果能介绍一下他们的个性和背景故事,效果会更好。
额外惊喜:演出结束后,我们和 Star Jr. 合影了,他是 2026 年 Copa Jr. VIP 淘汰赛的获胜者之一。他非常友善。摔跤手们似乎也真心乐意在离场时与粉丝互动。
小贴士:提前一个小时到达,然后直接去街对面的美食广场。那里大约有 15 个摊位,主要卖墨西哥卷饼和披萨,还有很多米歇拉达和玛格丽塔。我们去的那天晚上,大屏幕上正在播放墨西哥足球比赛。当墨西哥队进球时,全场沸腾了。这真是一个精彩的主赛前热身。
五星好评!如果你在周二、周五或周日身处墨西哥城,千万不要错过这个机会。
