I’m still surprised the Capos didn’t win. I guess that means that the Universo/Perro Sr. match isn’t right around the corner after all.
The other thing to take out of that hair/hair match is that CMLL is high on Terrible. I mean, it’s apparently they’ve loved him since he was part of Guapos U and came from nowhere to win, and getting the hair win over Bestia in the Cage of Death last year just confirmed that. But this is a situation where they could’ve slotted someone a bigger name in to get the win with Perro Jr. (and usually do), and he got another big win instead.
The Terrible push takes another step on Friday, when a strange main event headlines Arena Mexico. Here’s the whole card:
– Canek/Shocker/Mascara Magica vs Ultimo Guerrero/Rey Bucanero/Terrible.
– Satanico/Negro Casas/Felino vs Olimpico/Averno/Mepshito
– Volador Jr./Alan Stone/Virus vs Violencia/Zumbido/Super Crazy.
– Lightning Match: Neutro vs Sangre Azteca
– Tony Rivera/Tigre Blanco/Texano Jr. vs Arkangel/Nitro/Holligan
– Tsuki/Ultimo Dragoncito vs Espectrito/Pierrothito
The hype writer doesn’t know why Terrible is facing off with his friends and teaming with his enemies, but does note this the first time they’ve met since he’s been a Guapo. With the Guapos due to add another member, I’m thinking this sets the stage for Terrible to be spun off from the group.
Looks like the weekly Lighting Match is their new way to spotlight the undercard guys each week. With no Capos or Boricuas, this looks to be one of the more consistently good cards, if lacking a surely stellar match.
In other action, Coliseo’s Tuesday show features another Guapos U trios match: Texano Jr/Lestar/Brazo De Oro Jr. vs Chris Stone/Karisma/Maximo. Winners move on to face previous winners Misterioso II/Lobo Vikingo/Koreano for a shot at the Mexican Trios Titles. Guadalajara had a big card on Sunday, with another of the Guapos/Taliban hair/hair match and a 12 Man SL-ish Cibernetico, but I haven’t seen results for it yet.
Box y Lucha says that Shocker showed up to the title match with the mini-Guapo midget, and LA Park entered with a Michael Jackson impersonator. Pick which one distresses you more.
Next Update: Wednesday-ish.
