Quickly:
– Angel Azteca vs Arkangel mask/mask is offically set for 12/5 after another round of mask ripping this past Friday. I’m strong sure Ark’s taking this.
The 12/5 card is shaping up something like this
Universo vs Pierroth, Mask/Hair
Angel Azteca vs Arkangel, Mask/Mask
Mexican Trios final
Probably something with Perro Jr. vs Atlantis
something to get the older guys on the card
something to get the younger guys on the card
– In something that might be intersting but won’t make TV, for Arean Coliseo’s celebration of CMLL’s 70th on 11/30 will feature a four way hair/hair/hair/hair cage match with names: Tarzan Boy, Negro Casas, Satanico, Mascara 2000. That’s a pick ’em.
The Guapos/Taliban cage match didn’t work for me because it was fairly evident after a couple minutes they were just going to do a beatdown till the time ran out, and only then start doing comeback spots. Comebacks previous to that really don’t lead anywhere, since all it is waiting for the time to expire.
Maybe if there had been a better story while the waiting was going on – instead of general beating, very specific targetted attacks to take someone tecnico out to ensure that they’d be the last person remaining – it would have worked better. Or maybe just having four different people take control for a while will work for this one.
– Perhaps because Casas is not involved in that, he did not particpate in the Mexico National Trios Tournament, but the team he would’ve been on (Felino/Volador/Safari as a replacement) still won the first part. The tournament brackets have been updated for the second part this Friday. Tony Rivera takes Safari’s place on the odd Blue Panther/Tigre Blanco trio, but the Infernales are the easy favorites.
It’d be quite intersting if that Holligan/Ramstein/Azteca vs Virus/Sagrado/Marvin match made TV, but don’t hold your breath.
Arena Mexico lineup:
Atlantis/Niebla/Lizmark vs Perro Aguayo Jr./Tarzan Boy/Pierroth
(A rematch of their previous title match, and it appears Perro has turned rudo. On some level, it would make sense for him to help Pierroth against the Capos…)
Rayo de Jalisco/Super Porky/Volador Jr. vs Dr. Wagner/Black Tiger/Universo 2K
(That is the trios champions, this is not a title match. Volador moves up for this one.)
Mexico Trios Tournament, Part 2
Olimpico/Psicodelico Jr./Tecnico TBNL vs Hollgain/Sangre Azteca/Ramstein
(that’s listed as Marvin’s spot right now, don’t think he’ll work twice.)
Shockercito/Fantasy vs Espectrito/Mini Violencia
Tonight in Arena Coliseo:
Felino (c) vs Satanico for the CMLL Welterweight Title
(weight limit?)
Panther/Virus/Sagrado vs GdI/Emilio
(Did Panther turn tecnico?)
Havana Brothers vs Warrior/Magica/Masada
(surprising they’re in town and not working the tournament – maybe it’s just an non-outsider thing)
Ultimo Dragoncito/Olimpico/Mini Brazo de Oro vs Mini Pierroth/Fire/Sombrita
Explosivo/Sombre de Plata vs Jeque/Super Comando
