Arena Mexico results were posted on Saturday

IWRG (THU) 11/10 Arena Naucalpan Results [iwrg]
1) Mr. Libra b Vampiro Metalico
2) Super Colt & Carta Brava b Freezbe & Antares
3) Suicida, Fantasma Jr., Avisman b Cyborg, Fantasma de la Opera, Black Jaguar
Cyborg was mad at his teammates, blaming him for the lost.
4) Dr. Cerebro & Cerebro Negro b Okumura & Jado [IWRG IC TAG]
IWRG lists the second member of the challengers as “Jedo”, as if Jado and Gedo were combined together as some unstoppable juggernaut. They were stopped here, so I think it’s just at typo.
5) Mistico, Dr. Wagner, Negro Casas b Canek, Ultimo Guerrero, Veneno
Wagner low blowed Canek. Canek wanted a title shot post match – any title, really.

There’s no lucha content listed for Ovaciones today. There’s heavy coverage of a U17 Mens and U20 womens split squad Mexico vs Mexico games, which I believe were held as a charity events to benefit Hurricane victims. In the Women’s game, some woman wore a Atlantis mask in their post-goal celebration.

I figure that they did say something about Eddie, but it’s just not on the website. Accion had a brief mention of him last night. (The highlights from Accion were the finish from LdP, and an AAA six man with no particular angle.)

There are many articles about Eddie’s death on Spanish language sites, though most are just picking up the AP story. If you haven’t read it elsewhere, they’ll be having tribute shows to him on both RAW and SmackDown this week, and it sounds like the European tour (scheduled to start tomorrow) will be pushed back to allow wrestlers to attend the funeral. I expect there will be tributes to him on about every show in Mexico this week.

In addition to everything else that’s going on, controlling interest in New Japan Pro Wrestling was sold by Inoki to video game company Yukes. It’ll be a while before we know how this affects the CMLL/NJPW relationship.
