CMLL officially announced the March Dos Leyendas is honoring Black Shadow along with Salvador Luttertoh as usual.

Arturo Rivera is down on everything this week.

That should be self explanatory.

CMLL FSE on Guerreros del Ring #079
02/03 Coliseo: Luna Magica, Marcela, Princesa Blanca b Amapola, Medussa, Rosa Negra
02/03 Coliseo: Alex Koslov, Dos Caras Jr., Trueno b Damián 666, Misterioso II, Texano Jr.

Lineups

IWRG (THU) 02/28 Arena Naucalpan
1) Ambar vs Comando Gama
2) Avsiman, Chico Che, Soberano vs Guerrero Inca, Trauma I, Trauma II
3) Fantasma de la Ópera, Freelance, Ultramán Jr. vs el Hijo del Pierroth, Mr. Matanza, Veneno
4) Hijo del Cien Caras, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Septiembre Negro II vs El Fantasma, el Hijo Del Anibal, Negro Navarro
5) Black Terry vs Multifacético [IWRG IC WELTER]

Multifacético’s big push probably continues, and Black Terry can get back to the business of feuding with Fantasma de la Opera

CMLL (SUN) 03/02 Arena Coliseo
1) Dr. X, Hooligan, Skandalo vs Sensei, Sombra de Plata, Trueno
2) Dark Angel, Lady Apache, Luna Mágica vs Amapola, La Nazi, Rosa Negra
3) La Máscara, Mictlán, Sagrado vs Satánico, Terrible, Texano Jr.
4) Máximo, Valiente, Volador Jr. vs Lizmark Jr., Olímpico, Sangre Azteca
5) Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero vs Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone

Lady Apache’s return from injury. Seems like a more full card than usual, with the novatos bumped.

IWRG (SUN) 03/02 Arena Naucalpan
1) Bacteria vs Judas el Traidor
2) Ambar & Star Boy vs Trauma I & Trauma II
3) Angel de Oro, Freelance, Soberano vs Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro
4) Bogeman, Multifacético, Zatura vs Black Terry, El Hijo del Diablo, el Hijo del Pierroth
5) El Hijo del Solitario, Tarzan Boy, Ultramán Jr. vs Cien Caras Jr., Enterrador 2000, Pierroth II

Tarzan is starting here with this show, and under that old name.

IWRG (WED) 03/05 Roots Magic Club
1) Fantasma de la Ópera, Freelance, Multifacético vs Black Terry, Trauma I, Trauma II
2) Mascarita Sagrada (original), Skaide, Voladorcito vs Bracito de Plata, Katito Kung Lee, Pentagoncito
3) el Hijo Del Anibal, Groon XXX, Rayo de Jalisco Jr. vs ?, Hijo del Cien Caras, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr.

This is the first TV Azteca taping, so I guess the idea is to load up on names. Who would it have to be in that mystery spot to make that match any good? It’s just not possible. SuperLuchas says Mascara Ano 2000 is headed in, which obviously makes sense there. Canek should be back around here at any time too. I think that’s a mini Skayde!

(winning captains are in bold.)

Abismo Negro’s undefined status was the big story of the night. Tough to predict, seeing as he wasn’t on the card but ended up subbing for X-Pac. Last taping, Konnan (absent as well) gave Abismo as much time as he wanted to make a decision on joining the legion, but Zorro is apparently in more of a hurry and requested one tonight. Abismo helped the Legion win the fourth match, which the Legion paid back by stopping the Vipers from jumping Abismo, but Abismo turned down membership before the main event. Not sure if he’s going to create his own group (dueling Viper factions would not be new) or going tecnico.

Legion still won the main event easily. Zorro continues to get wins, seemingly much after it mattered (and only until the top guys come back and he’s used to put them over again.) Zorro touched all six sides to win the chain match, and powerbombed Charly Manson thru a table after the match. Charly was carried to the back. This is payback for Cibernetico returning last week and beating up the Legion, coming on people who are not actually Cibernetico.

The show did deliver the questionable captains I hoped for. Of those three in the semimain, Mascara Divina seems like the least likely guy. (Tiger climbed partially up a light tower and dived off onto Alebrije.) Head Hunter I makes even less sense, and I guess they’re just planing to get Abismo in the tournament another way. He’s clearly going to be involved in something major on the show. As suspected, Pirata Morgan was inserted in the opener to provide a more ‘credible’ entrant (though he’s just as likely to be eliminated quickly as the other guys.)
