indy (SUN) 08/09 Arena Xalapa [Diario de Xalapa]

4) Gore, Samuary, Tigre Cosmico vs Eslabon Perdido, Perro Mocho Jr., Poseidon
5) Black Thunder vs Turbo [NWA MEX LIGHT]

In previewing this main event:

“Turbo won the welterweight title last year in an elimination with Skayde, Black Thunder, Carta Brava, Vampiro Metalico, Hermano Muerte II, Blanck Lancer, and Black Spirit”. This actually confuses me more – am I wrong in assuming this is the same time, and someone actually made up a Welterweight Title? (It didn’t look like a different title in IWRG.) Why would Skayde defend his title in a cibernetico? Why do I care about the NWA Mexican Lightweight Championship? I don’t know, but I spent an hour looking for missing Arena Xalapa results and didn’t find one with that match. If anyone’s figured out what’s gone on here, please clue me in.

Estrella del Ring looks at the independent scene with Super X starting up.

Cesar note seeing a dragon suplex and Durango Kid in CMLL rings – which do you suppose will turn up again first?

6) Místico vs Averno [MEX LH]

As of this moment, the CMLL page lists this show as Mexican championship on the line, Mexico vs Japan, and a Relevos Incredible match. Problem is, they’ve got two matches where a Mexican National title could be on the line. By the way everything’s ordered, I believe it’s main event, so we’ll go with that. Relevos match is noticably CMLL Minis vs Puebla, only with rudos and tecnicos crossing over to set up…

16 man Infierno en el Ring. Kinda funny that the Puebla locals are being treated on the same level of the minis. This is the 4th Infierno en el Ring (the one last week, the January minis one in Arena Mexico, and the February women’s one) and the year’s not 2/3rds over. I guess someone figured they draw better than one on one feuds?
