Anyone see the ELL-Mex show on Sunday? I was otherwise busy.
This is the poster for this weekend’s shows…
Notice no Demon and Ark for the Saturday show.
I’m pretty sure I’m going to Congress and may check out the Saturday show.

04/17 news: NGX, lineups
Sunday’s Arena Coliseo results are one post down. Ovaciones reports says Marcela vs Hiroka is signed for this Sunday, but that didn’t get out to the Box Y Lucha lineups or CMLL’s website as of yet.
Ovaciones also gives the CMLL explanation for no Warrior/Mistico mask match: they’re going to instead try to do it that Sunday, 04/30, if they can get Black Warrior to sign the contract. I think that means they’re not doing it – why would they do a Mistico mask match in the smaller arena? The only thing I could figure is CAN52 paying for the rights to the match, but there’s no indication of something like that. I think they’re just quietly shuffling it to the side, like Atlantis/Wagner.

Crazy Boy must’ve really been hurt, because they replaced him here too.
Box y Lucha #2762 has a picture of the new tag champs and a picture of Amapola without hair in her face.
Super Lucha #157 also has pictures of the new tag champs and unmaked Amapola. In an amazing concidence, after PWU and XLAW announced they were working together, Super Lucha has new expanded coverage of PWU. (Disclaimer: No matter how e-mails I get from PWU – you know, from the mailing list they put me on without actually asking me – I couldn’t tell you what state they promote in or care what state they promote in.)
Super Grafico #11 has photos from WrestleMania.
On the 04/16 Ultimo Dragon show, Dragon and Santo beat Atlantis & Black Warrior in 2 out of 3 falls. They announced a 06/23 show with Mil Mascaras involved in the main event. (Good luck with that.)
Over in New Japan, Sangre Azteca teamed up with Jushin Lyger on their 04/16 show to beat Tiger Mask IV and Taguchi, with Azteca pinning Taguchi for the win. Sangre teams up with Liger again on the next show (04/20), facing Liger’s allies Jado & Gedo. That’ll be awkward.
