01/31: Mexico

CMLL (FRI) 01/30 Arena Mexico [ESTO, Ovaciones]
1) Astro Boy, Hijo del Faraon, Tony Rivera b Apocalipsis, Inquisidor, Pólvora
2) Máscara Púrpura, Máximo, Rey Cometa b Felino, Vangelis, Virus
3) Princesa Blanca b Marcela [MEX WOMEN]
4) Black Warrior, Blue Panther, Último Guerrero DQ Averno, Mephisto, Villano V
5) Atlantis, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas b La Sombra, Místico, Volador Jr.

Rudos won the main event when Niebla and Negro yanked Sombra and Volador’s masks and pinned them. Sounds like a tag title match.

Laguneros took the semimain in straight falls when V3 ran in to attack Panther in the second.

Princesa Blanca is the 16th modern champion, and only 2nd since CMLL started using the belt again. Marcela held the belt for near 21 months. There seems to have been some cheating, involving both Mima Shimoda (as Blanca’s second) and even the commission representative, but I’m not clear on what.

Rey Cometa apparently had a quite great dive on his match.

Lineups later, maybe.
