Sadico and friends are the current AULL Trios champs, so this set up a title rematch tonight.
Ohtani’s Jacket hates Blue Panther vs Mr. Niebla but most of all, Mr. Niebla.
Al Filo del Ring talks to Solar, who says he might work as a rudo against Demon and Santo and as a tecnico elsewise and Scorpio Jr. about how Mexican wrestlers are the best in the world.
Weekly Pro (via Osaka Pro) says Gran Hamada is involved in forming a new promotion called “Mexican Wrestling Federation”. What this will have to do with Mexicans who wrestle, I am not sure yet!
Time of the year for people to write El Santo articles.
– SuperLuchas #300 has a long interview with El Hijo del Santo about finding about his father’s death.
– Ex Online.
– Milenio
Perro Aguayo Jr. talks about the start of his career. His father hoped he’d wrestle once and get it out his system.
At the Guerrera panel discussion, Fuerza says he plans on wrestling two more years. He and Juvi made time to insult Mistico (inflated by CMLL) and Hijo del Santo (doesn’t know how to fight, getting fat.)
ESPN Deportes talks about the UWE cage match.
LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update

2) Damián 666 & Mr. Águila vs Juventud Guerrera & Super Crazy
3) Cibernetico, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, LA Park vs Dr. Wagner Jr., Intocable, Rayman

1) Molotov & Sensei vs Artillero & Súper Comando
2) Angel de Oro, Angel de Plata, Metálico vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Hooligan, Loco Max
3) Astro Boy vs Calígula [lightning]
4) Bam Bam, Mascarita Dorada, Shockercito vs Pequeño Violencia, Pequeño Warrior, Pierrothito
5) Misterioso II, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero vs Terrible, Villano III, Villano V
6) La Sombra, Místico, Volador Jr. vs Atlantis, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas
Atlantis is busy in the main event and we’ve lost all the other Guerreros, so Misterioso gets to be in a semimian.
Something’s obvious up for the minis to be getting a semimain. We’ve got both champions in the division (Bam Bam holds the CMLL minis, Pierrothito has the Mexican lightweight), the most obvious tecnico challenger (Dorada), the recently unmasked guy (Shockercito) and Pierrothito’s regular partners. This should be pretty good given the opportunities.
First time the new Angels have teamed up in Arena Mexico.
IWRG (SAT) 02/07 Arena Naucalpan
1) Eragon & Galactik vs Avisman & King Drako
2) La Parkita, Mascarita de Oro, Octagoncito vs Espectrito I, Espectrito II, Pequeno Boricua

4) Zumbido vs Fuerza Guerrera
5) el Hijo Del Anibal, El Hijo del Solitario, Rayo de Jalisco Jr. vs Head Hunter I, Head Hunter II, Tetsuya
Saturday, I dunno why. SuperLuchas lists that as airing on Sky. Which I don’t actually know what it means – do they have a channel on their own satellite service? Meanwhile – MINIS IN IWRG. They’re already aiming to beat the number of guys used last year. Meanwhile, AAA’s Octagoncito is threatening to sue this indy Octagoncito.
CMLL (SUN) 02/08 Arena Coliseo
1) Ángel Azteca Jr. & Sombra de Plata vs Puma King & Tiger Kid
2) Starman, Tony Rivera, Trueno vs Inquisidor, Méssala, Pólvora
3) Fabián el Gitano, Leono, Tigre Blanco vs Bronco III, Shigeo Okumura, Vangelis
4) Blue Panther, Hijo del Fantasma, La Máscara vs Black Warrior, Dragon Rojo Jr., Sangre Azteca
5) Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corleone, Místico vs Atlantis, Lizmark Jr., Último Guerrero
Third straight week of Dos and UG in the main event. This doesn’t appear to be a fan appreciation show, but that title rematch will be, and probably next week.
Tigre Blanco hasn’t been 3rd from the top in the building since October 2007. He’s been a first/second match guy for quite a while now, so there might be something up here.
Semimain has 2/3rds of the CMLL Trios champs versus the possible new Mexican Trios champs.
CMLL (SUN) 02/08 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Astaroth & Hierro vs Acertijo & Katana
2) Idolo & Nube Roja vs Drago & Valentin Mayo
3) Thunder Boy & Virgo vs Palacio Negro & Plata
4) Mascara Dorada & Valiente vs Euforia & Nosferatu
5) Héctor Garza, Mictlán, Shocker vs Ephesto, Terrible, Texano
This is not going to draw people away from Friday’s show, which I guess is the idea.

1) Imperio Azteca vs Avisman.
2) Eragon & Galactik vs Judas el Traidor & Shuriken
3) La Parkita, Mascarita de Oro, Octagoncito vs Espectrito I, Espectrito II, Pequeno Boricua
4) Fuerza Guerrera vs Zumbido [IWRG IC WELTER]
Yes, three shows! Half the same matches a day later, why would you do that? If you go to both shows, you should get a sticker or a button or something.
