Blogger’s been having posting issues. Let’s see if this gets through. Lots and lots and lots of credit to KrisZ

– The #1 Contenders to the Trios Tournament has reached the finals – it’ll be Infernales vs GdI next Friday. Full brackets are up here.

I think you’ve gotta figure that Infernales won’t win it all, since they’re got the issue with the Mexican Trios still hanging over their head (and a FdT run-in probably wouldn’t be out of the question), but they tecnicos and our champions are rudos, so that lines up. Coming very close to winning to the CMLL Trios titles and then the Infernales winning the Mexican National Trios Titles would make those titles look important and give a issue for a unification match down the line, so that works as a matchup. On the other hand, GdI are awesome and kinda the uncrowned trio champions.

No matter who wins, this has a chance for two really good matches.

There must’ve been some controversy in week 1 quarter final, because they scheduled a Taliban/Guapos rematch for the next week’s non-tournament main event. Or maybe Emilio, Bestia and Scorpio are just angry about the unauthorised name stealing. Taliban (KrisZ isn’t listing them by that name anymore, hmm) got the win in the rematch, so there’s probably an issue there.

I guess Vampiro is off because his name hasn’t been around the last couple weeks and wasn’t on any of these teams.

– Emilio d. Satanico on 7/9 at Arena Lopes Mateos to continue being a Welterweight champion that’s not very intersting. I have a slight feeling that match was a slug fest.

– Havana Pitbull Ricky was injuried and unable to wrestle, so NJPW sent Pinoy Boy in his place. And they still called them Pitbull 1, 2, and 3. They’re working Coliseo main events, but since they’re only putting over people, I think they’re just using them up while they’re new outsiders.

– While we’re talking NJPW, Dr. Wagner did defeat Heat in that singles match last Friday. I was kinda wondering if they might have Heat win and do a quicky rematch for Heat to drop his mask (since he doesn’t want it anyway and they could make a little money in the process), but that apparently wasn’t in the cards right now. Heat is talking about coming in again later on, but he’s got NJ tour obligations now.

– Familia de Tijuana have all reunited back in Tijuana, so they’ll be no breakup to pretend to ignore when they come back in to defend the Mexican National Trios Titles.

– Hijo Del Santo is spending a week in Cuba to do wrestling clinics and Q&A sessions. He’s been wrestling mostly AAA lately, when has been around.

Last two weeks of CMLL are up in the recaps. This week’s may be delayed a bit.
