Mano Negro fouled Villano III, which sets up their match this week. They’re doing a match as What If – “What If Villano III and Mano Negra had fought at the peak of their careers in a mask vs mask match?” This means they’ll be wearing their masks again.
Bucanero got his team DQed in the main event.

CMLL’s taken the unusual (for them) step of advertising who’s going to be on the End of Year show but not giving out the matches yet. Scheduled are Mistico, Averno, Ultimo Guerrero, Atlantis, Blue Panther, various Casas brothers, various Perros del Mal, and LA Park – who will be a tecnico. Huh. I suspect we’ll know the card in the couple days.
ESTO’s Friday notes columns mentions Los Dinamitas’ movie is postponed at the moment.
