Tecnicos took the 2nd and 3rd falls in the main event. Rudos attacked the ref in the semimain to get DQed there. Ovaciones says 5,000 people came to this show, which may be better than all the Tuesday Arena Mexico shows combined. It’s way up, for sure.
Maquina Salvaje (Lalo Mercado), a wrestler from the 70s, passed away on Monday and was remembered at this show.
Ovaciones also mentions CMLL, at Arena Mexico, will start selling a CD of Mistico’s favorite music, with a bonus DVD of interviews, the Quinta Estacion music video and “some of his most important matches.” I wonder what they’ve picked.

Arturo Rivera talks about this past week’s Arena Mexico show being delayed due to issues with Ticketmaster – no one could buy tickets or collect them for 20 minutes. Arturo also confirms Cibernetico and La Parka Jr. are not expected to return until March at the earliest.
Mistico’s return to Arena Mexico this Friday is getting some attention, though he’s been wrestling around the country this week already.
