Averno just beat Mistico so totally clean last week, there’s no doubt he’s losing once again tonight. I think this feud is peaking or has peaked and, as sad as it might be, now’s the time they could get maximum value for doing the mask match. There’s no way they’re going to do it this year, though – it’s too late in the year, it’s not enough continuous build. (Maybe in March?) This seems like a way just to get one more strong turnout before the end of the season (and before they’re running every single show in the building.)
Tercera and semimian really should be switched and probably will be. The guys in next week’s main event shouldn’t be in the middle of the card.
I guess we find out if Flash is back or not tonight.
ESTO’s preview of tonight’s Arena Mexico show includes quotes from LA Park. He’s a tecnico tonight because he just likes switching sides a lot and he uses the “I only wanted to face Santo one on one line.” Looking back at it now, Park doing that same speech at the press conference had to be a escape plan in case he wanted out later. I don’t think Park knew he wasn’t going to do Todos X Todos at that point, but he sure set up an easy way out of it.
CMLL (THU) 11/29 Arena Isabel de Cuernavaca [strato_wagner @ Satanico’s Mansion]
1) La Máscara, Mascara Purpura, Valiente DRAW La Sombra, Sagrado, Volador Jr.
2) LA Park & Místico b Averno & Último Guerrero
I thought that semifinal was supposed to be a title match this time out, but apparently it was not, and they did another draw finish and challenge for a title match at the next show.

ESTO’s notes article talks about Sombra winning the NWA Welterweight Title and guessing he might win Rookie of the Year. I can’t think of anyone else close.
