06/21: Negro and Metal turn, lineups

CMLL (FRI) 06/20 Arena Mexico [superluchas, ESTO, la aficion, Ovaciones]
1) Arkangel de la Muerte & Hooligan b Astro Boy & Starman
2) Máscara Púrpura, Máximo, Metalik b Diamante Negro, Dr. X, Vangelis
3) Felino, Grey Shadow, La Sombra b Ephesto, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca
4) Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Místico b Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Heavy Metal, Negro Casas b Damián 666, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mr. Águila

Dr. Wagner was in position to beat Perro in the main event with a castia, but Negro broke it up and used his own castia for the win. Mr. Niebla ran in and attacked Wagner, and both Metal and Negro turned on Wagner. I think we can move them off the long list of people who want trios shots (unless Felino is turning too) and move them onto the long list of people who think they’re feuding with Dr. Wagner.

ESTO says Niebla is (or wasnt’t) a Guerreros and is allied with these two instead.

Mistico got UG clean with the Mistica in the third fall.

This past week’s Wrestling Observer (June 23rd cover date) says CMLL planned to have Damian 666 to lose last week’s Jucio Final. When Artruo Rivera picked Damian as the most likely choice (which was no big secret) in his Ovaciones, CMLL changed it to Heavy Metal just to prove him wrong. I don’mt know about you, but I think Arturo Rivera totally used his power for good here.

In today’s column, Rivera confirms the Monterrey taping will be at Arena Solidaridad. No mention of the recent jumps, though a picture of the Guapos in IWRG is right next to the column.
