Mike Informer is totally extempt because he was offline at the time, but the whole “mask wearing banned in futbol” story happened two weeks ago. I was there. You were there. (See original post here.)
Yea, there’s an update today with people protesting or whatever, but at this point, it’s a futbol story not a lucha libre one. Why is this still news?
Should I just make a “random unfair complaints about the Observer” category?
It’s a banner day for Russia, as Alex Koslov becomes the first Russian to wrestle in Arena Mexico. In celebration of this event, sing the National Anthem of Russia sometime around 9:30 PM Mexico City time tonight.
CMLL (FRI) 08/18 Arena Mexico
1) Bam Bam, Tzuki vs Mini Violencia, Pierrothito
2) Texano Jr., Tigre Metalico, Virus vs Loco Max, Okumura, Sangre Azteca
3) Felino, La Mascara, Sagrado vs Alex Koslov, Misterioso II, Terrible
4) Heavy Metal, Mistico, Negro Casas vs Averno, Black Warrior, Mephisto
5) Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Hijo del Santo vs Damian 666, Hector Garza, Hijo del Perro Aguayo
In Ovaciones, Perro explained that his group is the law in Arena Mexico, and no one – especially not the tecnicos – can not stop them. Aguayo claims they’ve eliminated the Boricuas and the Capos, and the Guerreros are next. Notimex believes the semimain is setting up an Averno/Mephisto tag challenge; that sounds good to me.
CMLL (TUE) 08/15 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara Results
1) Rey Trueno b Milenio
2) Mr. Trueno b Metatron
3) Makabre b Infierno
4) Super Maquina b Egipcio
5) Angel Blanco Jr., Hijo de Pierroth, Pierroth b Rayman, Sagrado, Texano Jr.
Rayman replaced Maximo; I’d guess Maximo is injuried? Pierroth snuck in a low blow on Sagrado.
6) Negro Casas, Rayman, Texano Jr. b Black Warrior, Emilio Charles Jr., Universo 2000
7) Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero b Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr.
The Guerreros outsmarted the tecnicos, causing them to hit each other like bumbling rudos and pinning the tecnicos with their feet on the ropes.
