GDL restarting, DF not restarting yet, Nitro

LINEUPS! If only they weren’t just for GDL. The Friday show appears unchanged, so starting with Sunday:

CMLL (SUN) 05/10 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Rayo Tapatio I & Rayo Tapatio II vs Puma King & Tiger Kid
2) Angel Azteca Jr., Angel de Oro, Angel de Plata vs Artillero, Polvora, Super Comando
3) Flash, Pegasso, Rey Cometa vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Skandalo
4) Black Warrior, Misterioso II, Shigeo Okumura vs La Mascara, Mictlan, Sagrado
5) Blue Panther, Mistico, Shocker vs Dos Caras Jr., Ephesto, Mephisto

CMLL’s only done full DF card in GDL for special shows. Unless the Perros are running another show on Sunday, I think this is more about getting their DF guys an extra booking and seems to indicate Sunday’s Arena Coliseo show is not happening. They wouldn’t be sending the undercard guy to GDL if they could just book them nearby.

CMLL (TUE) 05/12 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Thunder Boy vs Milenio
2) Idolo vs Virgo
3) Casanova vs Rey Trueno
4) Angel de Oro & Angel de Plata vs Arkangel de la Muerte & Skandalo
5) La Mascara & Mascara Dorada vs Black Warrior & Virus
6) Mictlan, Sagrado, Shocker vs Atlantis, Dos Caras Jr., Rey Bucanero

This is more like usual.

A lot of articles mention Friday’s GDL card as resumption of (CMLL) lucha libre, but ESTO‘s adds CMLL is planning a press conference tomorrow morning to explain what their plans are for running shows in DF. I don’t think they’d run a show with a two day turnaround, so perhaps the Tuesday show on the 12th is the restart date. (This would screw MVS, who’d have no footage for a third week for the Guerreros del Ring shows.)

Did I miss any followup to the “Arena Mexico and Arena Coliseo DF will be inspected for damage, post-earthquake” story? I’m guessing there’s was none or little and so there was no followup, and I guess we’d find out different tomorrow.

Arena Solidaridad will not run this weekend, but will start shows on 05/17.

Ovaciones talks to Nitro, who’s still months away from coming back from his knee injury.

They’re running again today in Laguna, with the usual Thursday night show at AOL.

Mini Charly Manson will be out 3 to 6 months due to a knee injury. This is going to seriously hurt the momentum of the AAA minis division.
