Ovaciones now has a different card for Friday’s Arena Mexico show.
4) Hiroshi Tanahashi & Shinsuke Nakamura vs GdI (Olimpico & Rey Bucanero) [IWGP TAG]
5) Mistico, Dr. Wagner Jr., El Hijo del Santo vs GdA (Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Tarzan Boy)
The Mistico match now makes a lot more sense, but that’s a much lesser IWGP Tag match. CMLL.com makes no mention of a change, and as you’ll see the Box Y Lucha interviews, Dr. Morales was under the impression the original match was the one that was being run. Either something that changed over the weekend or someone screwed up. Or both, I guess.
EDIT: CMLL.com confirms the match changes. suck suck suck.
There’s a Paucha preview, quick deferring words about Atlantis from Ultimo and Rey, and a mention of Negro and Felino’s IWGP JR TAG match. Trhy’re mentioned as heading over on 10/03, so I assume they’re working sometime besides the 10/08 Tokyo Dome show.
Ovaciones hints towards an Averno/Santo rivalry based on Averno pulling of his mask during the GP. Santo will also be a special 10/20 Arena Coliseo show (a Thursday, so it’s probably not CMLL booked) for his 23rd anniversary as a wrestler. Mil Mascaras, Villano III, Blue Panther, and a whole bunch of people Santo’s beaten for their masks are expected to be present.

– Championship Poster of Marcela

– Interview with Nakamura and Tanahashi about the title match. They’re #1 in the world, and Ultimo and Rey will see.
– Interview with Rey and Ultimo about the title match. They’re #1 and the belts are staying in Mexico.
– AAA recap. For what it’s worth, they do mention a disturbance, but only after the main event when Chessman tried to leave without getting his head shaved.
– Interview with Martha Villalobos. Among other things, she seems pleased women’s wrestling returned to Arena Mexico.
– Interview with Zumbido, who wants it clear he was never gone from AAA. He goes on to thank everyone he can think of for being in wrestling.
– Interview with Tarzan Boy. He’s confused about his dual group membership, he’s disappointed to just be hanging around the periphery, with no sort of rival or title chase. There’s also someone doing a clothing line use his name and image, which he’s not given permission for, and he’s not very pleased about that.
– Pentagon Black talks about his start in wrestling.
