CMLL’s announced the next fan appreciation show for Puebla:
CMLL (FRI) 03/06 Arena Puebla
1) Lady Apache & Sahori vs Mima Shimoda & Princesa Sujei
2) Hijo del Fantasma & La Mascara vs Dragon Rojo Jr. & Sangre Azteca
3) Marco Corleone, Mistico, Volador Jr. vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
4) Mascarita Dorada vs Ultimo Dragoncito, Pequeno Ninja, Pequeno Olimpico, Fantasy, Electrico, Nino de Acero, Bracito de Oro, Sombrita, Sauron[cage, mask]
Okay, issue 1: it’s listed as a 14 mask match, with only 10 names. Pierrothito and Pequeno Warrior were in Puebla last night, so they’re surely working this show too. Tzuki fits too. Maybe a mini Dinamitia to round out the numbers? (Maybe Mini Lizmark, unretired?)
They’re obviously trying to build up the numbers (though – why is a 14 mini match any bigger draw than an 8 mini one, presuming you’re just dropping the lesser 6?), because issue #2 is “who is Sauron?” If I get a vote, I’m voting for hypnotic pterodactyl gimmick over evil wizard gimmick. I would actually know this if I watched more of Puebla and IWRG, because a wrestler by that name turned up on both places from August to December last year.
Third cage match in 3 months. Kinda hitting that button a little hard. Also, since this is Friday, that means Mistico and crew won’t be in Arena Mexico – perhaps a Ultimo Guerrero/Blue Panther vs Villanos match?

I imagine Sauron’s mask is going to be just about as on-topic as Nosferatu’s generic number.

That being said, I think a black armor motif with a cyclops eye on the mask would look killer on a little guy.

Sauron is a local but a pretty big local. Some of the mini’s are tall but he’d even dwarf them especially in the width department.
Tzuki has to be in since he cut a promo on TV last week about the match. Yes… it was adorable.
My pick to lose this match was going to be between Acero and Ninja. I guess I don’t have to choose any more…
“NIÑO DE ACERO SUFRE FRACTURA DE FEMUR ESTE PASADO LUNES 23 DE FEB EN LA ARENA PUEBLA…POR LO QUE ESTARÁ EN INACTIVIDAD EL MEJOR DE LOS ANIMOS PARA ESTE GRAN MINI ESTRELLA DEL CML”
Yeah if this is the same Sauron from IWRG, he was taller than either Cerebro or Yack plus he was pretty yoked.
