CMLL (FRI) 11/16 Arena Mexico [ovaciones, superluchas, ESTO]
1) Rayo Tapatio I & Rayo Tapatio II b Polvora & Vaquero
2) Loco Max, Nitro, Virus b Metalico, Neutron, Super Nova
3) Sagrado, Valiente, Volador Jr. b Ephesto, Mephisto, Misterioso II
4) Amapola b Lady Apache [CMLL WOMEN]
5) Black Warrior, Lizmark Jr., Toscano b Rey Bucanero, Shocker, Sombra
6) Atlantis, Averno, Ultimo Guerrero b Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Mistico
In the main event, Averno pinned Mistico (which Ovaciones notes as “Mistico lost, again”.) They talked title match and mask match after, but neither is on the lineup for next week.
Semimain set up a Shocker/Bucanero vs Warrior/Toscano hair feud. Shocker and Rey make sense, but wasn’t it just last week that CMLL was discussing the potential greatness of Black Warrior & Lizmark Jr. as a tag team?
There was a moment of applause for Gran Markus.
Lady Apache took the first fall, but Amapola rallied back to win two and three clean with backcrackers. (Yay!) Match went 9 minutes, by far the shortest one on the show. Marcela, Dark Angel, and Diana were mentioned as future challengers.
Virus threw Metalico over the top rope to the floor in their match, and Metalico landed bad enough that he needed to be helped to the back. Tecnicos wanted a DQ, didn’t get it, and ended up losing.
In case you didn’t think Arena Mexico was running enough lucha events, there’s a special music/lucha libre combo show Sunday. SuperLuchas wrote about it earlier in the week, MedioTiempo writes about it today, but neither seems sure about the matches. Mistico, Dos Caras Jr., Volador Jr., Blue Demon Jr., Averno, Lizmark Jr., Black Warrior, and Perro Aguayo Jr. are listed as appearing; maybe it’ll just be one atomicos and lots of Mexican rap.
Arturo Rivera writes about that show in his column. He also says Mascarita Dorada should be happy with his first match not airing on TV, as Mini Black Warrior couldn’t hold up his end of the match.
Medio Tiempo has a Gran Markus obit.
CMLL (TUE) 11/20 Arena Mexico
1) Electrico & Fantasy vs Fire & Pequeño Violencia
2) Luna Magica, Marcela, Princesa Blanca vs Hiroka, La Nazi, Mima Shimoda
3) Metálico, Mictlán, Tigre Blanco vs Diamante Negro Jr., Nitro, Skandalo
4) Pequeño Olímpico vs Pequeño Damian 666 [CMLL MINI]
5) Felino, La Sombra, Stuka Jr. vs Misterioso II, Ohara, Texano Jr.
6) Alex Koslov, Blue Panther, Negro Casas vs Atlantis, Olímpico, Último Guerrero
This will be (known) title shot #4 for Mini Damian 666. I think this is going to be the last one he needs. Note Ohara and Sombra will continue feuding in the semimain.
CMLL (FRI) 11/23 Arena Mexico
1) Astro Boy & Starman vs Calígula & Méssala
2) Dark Angel, Lady Apache, Marcela vs Amapola, Medussa, Princesa Sujei
3) La Máscara, La Sombra, Mascara Purpura vs Ephesto, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca
4) Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone, Volador Jr. vs el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Villano IV, Villano V
5) Místico, Rey Bucanero, Shocker vs Averno, Black Warrior, Toscano
Both feuds presented this week return for next week, so there may be some actual legs to them. Maybe they’re the actual 12/07 matches?
This is Villano IV’s return to Arena Mexico following his knee injury.
Tercera could be fun. Segunda is Amapola facing likely challengers – we’ll see if they’re going straight to a rematch.
