Minis trios match was okay, but there’s been better. Main event felt like they were going thru the motions, but that’s what you expect in a meaningless match. You got the spots you were expecting.

08/22: Mexico, lineups
CMLL (FRI) 08/22 Arena Mexico [Ovaciones, superluchas, ESTO]

2) Amapola, Hiroka, Princesa Sujei b Lady Apache, Marcela, Sahori

Two straight falls for the tecnicos in the main event. Rudos got DQed for excessive violence in the first, and Panther caught UG with an armbar in the second. In a very random moment, Terrible and Texano ran in after the match and beat up Garza (who was already hurt during the match). Sounds like they’re in a hurry to build something.
Villano IV continues to fill in for Villano V, and V4 and Dr. Wagner exchanged mask vs mask challenges after the match. We’re apparently supposed to take this seriously, because CMLL mentions it on their website. Seems more like we’re getting a multiman match every day.
The third and the second match were also straight fall wins.
Rodolfo Ruiz, Tauro, Audaz and Cien Caras were honored at the show.
El Pais writes about the CMLL stop in Marbella. They note that most of the people attending, at least for this show, are immgrants from Latin America.

Felino’s a rudo? Huh. I would’ve expected the other trios match to go on top.
