3) Atomo, Rayo Laser, SWAT Kat DQ Coco Negro, Coco Verde, Guerrerito del Futuro
4) LA Park, Not Sure DQ Aguila de America (?), Dr. Wagner Jr.

Building was full. Show started before 5:30 and was done by 8:15, which was awesome. Match was quite fun.

Scattered Morning Notes:

Rey and Mistico are only working tonight’s show – Wagner and Parka teamed with two local (or maybe indy) guys who actually weren’t a big drop off from Electroshock and Tinieblas. Which may not be a surprise.

Finish of the Wagner/Park match was a Wagner low blow which the referee counted after he was intimidating into doing it by Wagner, only to signal for the DQ as soon as Wagner went to celebrate.

All matches were three falls.

SWAT Kat got busted open very early in his trios matches, and his mask was covered in blood by the end. He got in about one move during the match, and then got low blowed. Same overturned finish there.

Yellow Mask Guy kinda retired from his match after killing himself with too many flat back bumps on the hard lucha ring. His partner got hurt as well.

Crowd was at least 90% families.

01/28 news: Kuroneko, Arena Mexico results

Victor Manuel Mar, known as Black Cat and Kuroneko, passed away on 01/28 at 3am in Tokyo. He wrestled in AAA, as part of Gringos Loco, and in NJPW, where he later became a referee and company official. More information about him can be found at Puroresu Fan, Wrestling Observer, Black Cat’s official site, and the LuchaWiki. CMLL.com has posted a note wishing their condolences to his family.

Having spent his career in both Mexico and Japan, Black Cat also seemed to serve as a liaison between NJPW and CMLL in the last few years, as their cross promotion has gotten stronger. He was present, along with Chono, at the Leyenda de Azul tournament (where the World G1 concept was figured out), and often is visible accompanied NJPW wrestlers when they wrestled in CMLL rings. He’ll appear again in that role this March and April on Galavision, when the matches with Shinsuke Nakamura and Hiroshi Tanahashi debut on US television.
