Ovaciones’ main article is the Arena Mexico preview, with quotes from Atlantis and Mascara. There’s a throw away line about Okumura, Masada and Taguchi having asked for a shot at the CMLL Trios Titles and being close to getting one, but they’re working second match against unrelated foes.

AAA’s not taping this week, so they’ve got people working a couple different shows. In Tlahuac, there’s a Cage of Death match including Picudo and Alan Stone, with Zorro, Hijo de Anibal, Histeria vs Pirata Morgan and surprise partners in the semifinal. In Michoacan, the main event is La Parka & Shocker vs Chessman & Abismo Negro, with Oriental & Oscar Sevilla vs Ozz & Cuervo underneath.

Lucha Insider says NJ is interested in Dos Caras Jr. & Lizmark Jr. (presumably because they’re taller lucha guys; same reason Metro gets teamed up with them and LA Park), slightly interested in Halloween & Damien, and not at all interested in Dr. Wagner Jr. & Silver King (left NJ on bad terms). The post says “for the G1” and others have made the natural assumption that this is for the Three Country G1 tournament talked about the last few weeks, but because we’re talking about everyone in terms of teams, I presume they’re actually referring to the fall G1 Tag Team Tournament. I may be wrong, we’ll see.

CMLL will have a rematch of last week’s women’s tag, Lady Apache & Marcela vs Amapola & Dark Angel, next Friday.

Canek Jr. makes his debut match in Durango on Wednesday, teaming with his father.
