[10.0] "CMLL hat sich 2023 zu einer meiner lieblings Ligen entwickelt. Ich brauchte ein wenig um mich an den doch speziellen und anderen Stil zu gewöhnen. Jetzt kann ich es kaum erwarten bis die neusten Shows auf YouTube erscheinen. Simples aber gutes und logisches Booking (ohne Ambulanzen, Entführungen oder Übernatürliches), wobei die Storys im Ring erzählt werden. Dazu erstklassige Wrestler und ein immer lautes Publikum in der Arena Mexico. CMLL macht im 2023 einfach Spass."

[9.0] "CMLL in my opinion is WAY BETTER in terms of wrestling and story then AAA. Currently the #2 promotion in Mexico according to everyone. CMLL is the oldest active wrestling promotion in history and theirs a reason for that. Great matches and great shows you can count on CMLL to give you banger after banger in professional wrestling."

[8.0] "They got through a rough pandemic and backstage shakeups and are now putting out the best weekly free wrestling on YouTube by a healthy margin. It hurts my brain that the English-speaking fanbase hasn't picked up on the fact that CMLL is giving away their big Friday shows for free on a relatively short two-week delay. Their young guard is coming through really, really strong and their women's division has made major strides. Add that to free livestreams of their weekday shows and you've got an abundance of easily accessible, high-quality pro wrestling who's only barrier to entry is a baseline understanding of how lucha libre works + learning a bit of wrestling Spanish. WATCH CMLL."

[8.0] "Mexico has two giants currently: CMLL and AAA. I have a lot of issues with both, there are major issues plaguing them and preventing them from becoming international powerhouses that they should be, but if I have to pick which promotion I enjoy the most, I would have to narrowly say CMLL. Sure its roster is bloated in the mens division yet shallow in the womens, sure some storylines arent great and while sure they are getting rid of the old guard, they are still present, but the talent is there, and its still somehow less of a mess than AAA. I wish Lucha Libre would be more appreciated internationally, but with the current state of things, it will be hard to see that happening for a few years. That said, for how important CMLL has been for professional wrestling, I have to give them a high grade."

[5.0] "Harder to follow as an American fan who does not speak Spanish but when I watch the shows I see good lucha action but very repetitive, matches are all very similar. Has a bloated roster. Historically is one of the most important wrestling promotions in the world."

[7.0] "2022 has been the year where all their rebuilding has borne fruit. Well, almost all of it, the women's division is still as shallow as a kiddie pool, but they are at least taking steps to move away from the old guard. Must-see shows from them this year include the men's Grand Prix and the Anniversary show."

[5.0] "They are sitting on so much talent at the moment, but the lackluster direction (i.e. not much in terms of storylines), repetitive booking, and very, very obvious nepotism on display make it hard to care much for CMLL. There is something of a push with the women's division lately, but historically, this promotion hasn't cared much for women, and still has too many women nearing 50 years of age. It's a sad state of affairs for a promotion that has so much history to it. Whenever AAA has a big event, there's a buzz on social media about it, even though legally, they cannot show their big events outside of Mexico. CMLL, on the other hand, doesn't care to sell their shows to a foreign audience. Truly amazing, this means that some of their better matches cannot be seen at all after they air, unless some kind soul records the events (which is not often), or CMLL feels like showing that stuff on TV. Sometimes, their own wrestlers don't know when the matches will air!"

[7.0] "CMLL is the most historic wrestling company that exists in Mexico, but in recent years they have not known how to stay since they are not a competition for Triple A since the BOOM of the Mistico in 2004-2007, in addition to the fact that the product they offer lacks stories attractive, they have not known how to update themselves."

[6.0] "Legendary promotion with a near endless amount of classic matches to its name. Currently the product is in a permanent stasis where nothing really matters. Great matches happen from time to time but nobody has any upward momentum. Shows are mostly there to entertain the tourists and nothing more. When they put in a minor amount of effort, things do improve because the roster is so vast and talented. But it is rare that they do."

[6.0] "CMLL is almost a breed of its own for professional wrestling. Predating WWE and essentially inventing the luchadore this brand is largely responsible for professional wrestlings success overall. The wrestling is very traditional and a lot of the athletes have been doing what they do for 20 years or longer. This isnt however the case overall as some botches are so severe that some performers look like they are air boxing their opponent. The set quality and audio quality is good however there is always a seemingly foggy feel to their typical stadium. They are also immensely gracious with being accessible to viewers with free full shows on youtube every week. They dont have an active website like WWE, ROH. Or reality of wrestling (ROW) do, Which really causes issues when trying to get familiar with the athletes. All in all this is a must view program at least once by any true wrestling fan."

[7.0] "I think CMLL used to be the greatest wrestling promotion in the world. From wrestling quality perspective it was out of reach for any other promotion. Incredible acrobatics, great personalities, phenomenal presentation and very unique style. Their glory days are long gone, but CMLL is one very solid lucha libre promotion. And of course, I have to mention that CMLL is a home of Ke Monito. I love that little blue monkey."

[8.0] "Assets: Is the oldest continually operating wrestling promotion in the world. Has the size to occupy its own arenas in Mexico City and Puebla (with a developmental territory in Guadalajara. ). Is regarded as one of the two major wrestling promotions in Mexico. - - - Flaws: Is not as oriented to modern tastes (or international expansion) as its chief rival. Has seen some of their "strong-arm" tactics backfire on them in regards to talent relations. Will most likely rely on international partnerships to expand its visibility instead of striking it out on their own as a major promotion - - - Promotion Potential: National league wrestling promotion."

[8.0] "I have had a love/hate relationship with CMLL since I discovered it in the 80's. This is a promotion that will have me clap with delight one week and make me fall asleep the next, a promotion that can have stunning angles one year and shift to the absolute worst nepotism the next, that can broadcast unwatchable garbage next to authentic masterpieces, that can push way way past their prime have beens together with some of the most amazing fresh talent in the world. They are so inconsistent as to literally defy belief, and I suspect this is due to having dominated the Mexican market for so long their mentality has become stale and complacent. But when ticket sales and TV ratings start falling, they will stir into action like some fearsome beast asleep for too long. If only they could find some measure of consistency..."

[9.0] "CMLL is a rare company that lives in its own bubble where almost nothing has changed in 60 years, but that works for them. They produce incredible wrestlers and their ring quality is one of the best today, although they have always suffered to tell great stories. Attending an event at Arena Mexico is one of the best experiences that exist."

Sebastian V wrote on 22.01.2018:
[7.0] "CMLL ist sicherlich eine der traditionsreichsten Ligen der Welt und im Moment in meine Augen die wichtigste mexikanische Liga. Sie haben wirkliche Könner in ihren Reihen die tolle Matches worken können. Sei es Volador, Dragon Lee, Titan und viele weitere. Wrestlerisch ist das mit Ausnahme der ganz alten die auch im Roster sind wirklich gut. Das Problem ist aber das Booking. ich finde die Veranstaltungen manchmal etwas zäh aufgrund der ewigen multi tag matches und dem Fakt das die Matches immer 2 out of 3 Falls sind und fast immer nach dem 1:0, 1:1, 2:1 Schema verlaufen. Es ist mir auch irgendwie teilweise zu wenig storygebunden. Deswegen: Vom reinen Wrestling her die Liga Nummer 1 für Lucha Libre auf einem wirklich guten Niveau. In anderen Bereichen hapert es aber. Insgesamt eine gute, aber keine sehr gute Liga."

[3.0] "Verstehe nicht wieso es in den letzten Monaten fast nur Six-Man Tag Matches gibt. Auch das Wrestling ist nicht auf dem Niveau von AAA. Die früheren Zeiten waren da auf jeden Fall viel besser für CMLL. Auch noch ein Nachteil ist dass AAA die viel besseren/bekannteren Wrestler haben."

[10.0] "The best company in Mexico and the oldest in the world. Lucha Apuestas is the most interesting thing that has the CMLL. The luchas have that classic touch that only CMLL can give us. but I think we should give more value to their championships."

[2.0] "Ich kann mit dieser Liga einfach gar nix anfangen. Mir ist da zu viel Klamauk, die Kostüme der Wrestler sind schlecht gemacht und sehen teilweise schlimmer aus als beim Kinderfasching. Für mich auch wrestlerisch Stufen unter AAA. Und nein, ich denke nicht, dass es einfach damit zu tun hat, dass ich die Lucha Libre-Tradition nicht verstehe. Es ist vielleicht nicht mein Lieblingswrestlingstil, aber teilweise schaue ich es mir gerne an, nur eben nie bei CMLL."

[8.0] "One of the best federation in Mexico. It presents a traditional Lucha Libre style which is slowly dying out. Despite this, the federation has a lot of brilliant wrestlers like Averno, Angel de Oro, Atlantis, Rey Cometa and many others."

[5.0] "Nur Mittelmaß die CMLL und man sollte die 3 Runden Regel absetzten auch wenn es natürlich im Lucha Libre tradition ist, finde ich es nimmt oft die spannung in einigen Matches und gehört in der heutigen Zeit nicht mehr dauerhaft dazu man könnte hin und wieder diese Form von Match machen aber sonst reicht IMO ein Pinfall. Daher bekommt die Liga von mir 5 Punkte!"
