CMLL.com has mentioned that Friday’s tag team tournament is just part one of a three week bit to find new #1 contenders. They’ll be another eight teams next week, and the two tournament winning teams meet on 01/25 to earn a title shot versus Ultimo Guerrero & Atlantis.
quick guess at teams
Shocker & Mistico
Alex & Marco
Negro Casas & Heavy Metal – Felino will be on standby
Maximo & Leono – I like to pretend Leono winning hair matches is going somewhere
Mr. Aguila & Damian 666
Averno & Mephisto
Lizmark Jr. & Black Warrior – comedy! Terrible can wrestle here when Lizmark doesn’t.
Nosferatu & Euforia

Well this week’s tournament looks pretty self-explanatory. It’ll end up Dos Jr./Sombra vs Perrito/Texanito, just a matter of who wins that. Early results may be off but if I may wager a guess…
1st Round:
Perrito/Texanito over Volador/Mascara
Bucanero/Valiente over Garza/Pierroth
Villanos over Panther/Sagrado
Dos Jr./Sombra over Ohara/Okumura
Semis:
Perrito/Texanito over Bucanero/Valiente
Dos Jr./Sombra over Villanos
Final:
Perrito/Texanito over Dos Jr./Sombra
Next week’s teams:
Mistico/Negro
Averno/Mephisto
Euforia/Nosferatu
Felino/Heavy Metal
Aguila/Terrible
Corleone/Shocker
Maximo/Koslov
Misterioso II/Sangre Azteca
No point predicting ficticious brackets but I’d say Mistico/Negro will take Block B over Averno/Mephisto no matter what and then lose to Perrito/Texanito setting up what is SURE TO BE A SOLD OUT CROWD ON FEBRUARY 1ST to see the worst title defense in CMLL history unless they book a Dos Jr./Liz Jr. rematch before that at Arena Coliseo.
I can see Mistico and Negro teaming they were the tag champs, but whats wrong with Lizmark jr. and Black Warrior?
They refused to team each other for the hair match, citing irrevocable differences.
