Rudos got DQed for yanking Wagner’s mask off in the first…and in the second. At least they had a plan. They’re pushing Wagner/Niebla strong.
Order of elimination was Tiger Kid, Astro Boy, Puma King, Angel Azteca Jr., Bronco, Hijo del Faraon (“eager but erratic”), Vangelis, Axel, and Metalik. Hijo de Fantasma beat Diamante Negro to take it cibernetico. I was close! I wonder if they shuffled up the teams, or if Diamante really went 1 on 3 to end that.
Arturo Rivera says Abismo Negro and Elegido have NOT visited CMLL’s offices looking for work, and praises the midcarders in Arena Cuarto Caminos de Nuevo Laredo.
All the tickets for Sunday’s AAA Taping are being reissues and people who paid the higher prices are supposed to get their money returned. The ticker sellers are blaming the local promoter (the PRI policiatal party of all things), and vice versa, but everyone seems to agree AAA had nothing to do with it.
On Friday, Ovaciones noted Okumura will be out for an extended time due to a broken clavicle. He suffered it Tuesday against Fabian, trying to catch Fabian’s Asai Moonsault. Something like that was bound to happen.

Main is a rematch.
The start of the Leyenda de Plata is oddly timed – this means three straight weeks with ciberneticos – but must be setting up for down the road. No word if Mistico is supposed to defend his LdP title again this year. That tecnico side seems outgunned.
Angel de Oro is yet another Laguna guy who worked in IWRG for a couple weeks earlier this year.
