More press conference details
– ESTO says CMLL actually announced only a normal one on one match between Garza and Perro, but Garza insisted on making a hair match and Perro had no chance but to accept.
– Axel (mispelling or trademarked?) said he’d be off for two weeks after his first appearance, due to a previously scheduled tour of South America. His second show will be on 04/25 and he plans to be a regular. Axel says his grandfather (Santo) and father-in-law (Huracan Ramirez) would be very happy for him, and “justice is being done.” Reforma takes a pro-Hijo del Santo viewpoint, asking Axxel if he’s only here because of the CMLL/Hijo del Santo problems and questioning Axel’s skills. Guess we’ll find out.
– All the articles are under the impression there’s a Mistico/Wagner match on the undercard, but that’d be too much for one show.
As for tonight
CMLL (FRI) 02/29 Arena Mexico
1) Calígula & Méssala vs Molotov & Starman
2) Fabián el Gitano, Flash, Super Nova vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Nitro

4) Grey Shadow, La Sombra, Negro Casas vs Atlantis, Sangre Azteca, Último Guerrero
5) Héctor Garza, Marco Corelone, Mistico vs Averno, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mephisto
Garza says he’s spoken to Marco and knows he can trust him, but isn’t sure if he and Mistico can work together. Mistico says he’s got better things to do than turn on Garza (like teaming with his high flying friends; Super Nova not included in this list.)
I hope Ephesto didn’t join the Nuevo Infernales.
