10) Dos Caras Jr. b Black Warrior
Dos pinned him clean with the German. Didn’t seem like they were setting up a title match here, but it does make me heavily question my Anniversary match pick; what’s Warrior doing taking a singles loss if he’s being built for Mistico?

5) Black Warrior b Heavy Metal [NWA MIDDLE]
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, TNA wanted to bring Hector Garza back, but found out he’s banned from entering the US for 9 years. (I don’t think we had offical conformation of that before; the whole saga seemed to end with Garza vowing to fight it in court. But this was the most likely outcome.)
By far, the best part of this Mexico loves Nacho Libre (Chicago Tribune) article is this Fray Tormenta quote:
“I was a fatty too, and, like Jack, I had a lot of agility in the way I could jump around from here to there,”
If you’re skiing, cold, and have $90 to spare, you too can buy this ski hoody with lucha mask top. This makes a lot of sense to me (though perhaps not at $90.)
Lineup Notes
– As previously noted, Leyenda de Plata kicks off Friday. I’m under the impression there’s no title defense this year, and we’re just getting the winners of 2 8 man ciberneticos facing each other as a final. Between the cibernetico, the Perro/Santo main event, and the lack of an extra midcard match to prop up card positions, there’s quite a few people working as low on a show as they’ll work all year.
– No AAA TV tapings, at least that I know. It’s been a week and we still haven’t heard a word about the last set. Way To Go!
– There’s a Metro in the main event of Sunday’s Arena Coliseo Guadalajara; gotta be Neutron. I have no proof of this, just a feeling.
– On a Sunday spot show, Averno and Mephisto face Mistico and … Astro Boy. (And then they do the same match for hours later, a bit south down the road.)
