Universo beat Halloween with the Black Hammer in tonight’s Arena Mexico main event. (Insert mock surprise comment here.) Of note, Halloween did not actually get his head shaved, as he was stretchered out and taken away in an ambulance after recieving the Black Hammer. You’d think they at least deliver on the stip. (Unless he’s really hurt or something.)
Why I stopped listening to Johnny Cash to find this out tonight, I have no idea.
VS 
Tonight’s the big Arena Mexico show. Ovaciones has Universo’s take (it’s going to be a brawl, and it’s likely to have outside interference.)
CMLL (FRI) 12/02 Arena Mexico Lineup
1) Texano Jr., Virus, Stuka vs Arkangel, Loco Max, Hooligan
What To Expect: Just something to get the crowd going and maybe spotlight the tecnicos. It’s a silver lining to a very dark cloud that Texano Jr. has become a bigger star of late, so if anyone gets anything out of this, it’ll be him.
2) Dark Angel, Marcela, Diana la Cazadora vs Amapola, Medusa, Princesa Sujei
What to Expect: Tecnica win, and a strong showing by then – I believe they’d push this trio as big deal if there were any other ruda trios they could face.
3) Heavy Metal, Negro Casas, Blue Panther vs Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Olimpico
What to Expect: Blue Panther and Atlantis violence and mask ripping, week 2 in a long stretch to come. Rudos probably take this one.
4) Mistico, Dr. Wagner Jr., Dos Caras Jr. vs Hijo de Perro Aguayo, Hector Garza, Tarzan Boy
What To Expect: Stright up tecnico win if they’re not doing another program before the end of the year; if Perro beats Mistico, something’s up.
5) Universo 2000 vs Halloween [hair]
What To Expect: Lots of runs and gimmicks to get the match over. No way Universo is losing this, but Damian will cause a big nearfall. Maybe a black hammer to finish it off. Perro Jr. and Universo will make vague hair match challenges.
CMLL (SUN) 11/27 Arena Coliseo de Guadalajara Results [cmll]

Box Y Lucha #2742 is up. A bit later in the week than usual, but still good
– Poster is Brazo de Plata in his camo gear.
– A story about the long list of people who came for the Texano benefit. There’s also a brief bio of Texano.
– Shocker explains why he turned rudo: uh, he felt like it. More intersting to people to fight that way, it sounds like. Shocker says Zumbido is next to (re)join Guapo U.
– Fuerza Guerrera talks about the people who trained him
– Starman talks about his trip to Japan. He’s all positive, talking about how he learned a lot and it was his best trip there.
– Tinieblas Sr. and Mil Mascaras old man it up with a “wrestlers aren’t as good as they used to be” interview. Tinieblas says he’s not taking off his mask after his retirement match – he’s leaving with his identity intact. In talking about Mil with fans, the author points out that he signs for free, unlike Groon (specifically mentioned). Mil says he was offered a spot in the Mexico House of Representatives, but turned it down because he didn’t agree with the political party. I bet Mil would’ve had no problem wearing his mask.
– Rambo talks about wrestlers he enjoyed growing up: Ray Mendoza, Tony Reyna, el Solitario, and Rayo de Jalisco Sr. are among those mentioned.
– AAA Central American tour info.
– Rey Bucanero talks about his start in wrestling. His first match was at 15, having come to a show with Pirata Morgan and finding out they were one short. It says here that’s he’s a cousin of India Sioux, which I didn’t know.
New/Updated roster pictures: Atlantis, Angel Blanco Jr., Apocalipsis, Universo, Canek Jr., Crazy Boy, Mephisto.
