Final previews for tonight’s show

It’s hours away from the moment everyone’s been waiting for: the IWRG Super Weletweight Champion squares off against the IWRG Middleweight Champion in a battle. Also, masks, hair, pride, country, other things that do not matter as much as IWRG’s Super Welterweight championship.

PREVIEWS
– Ovaciones – is that a scam-ish looking ad on the right side of the page? Weird.
– LuchandoLibre: women, minis, tercera, cuarta, semimain, main event
– Box Y Lucha matches up the main event competitors, and quotes Negro as saying Niebla & Felino will NOT get involved in tonight’s match.
– Slammin Stan’s podcast with Dr. Lucha and Bix – and discussion of my horrific Hamlet post from yesterday. Every other thing I post should be deleted, and the other half should be slowly deleted.
– ESTO, who has a list of wrestlers they’re surprised didn’t make the card: Shocker, Blue Panther, Perro Aguayo Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., LA Park, and Los Villanos. It is kinda odd to realize the main event guys from last year aren’t even on this show, but some of those names…
– El Universal
– notimex
– Estadio Deportes
– I didn’t ever see Cesar’s previews for the top 2, but I’ll add them in when I see them.

As both ESTO and Ovaciones pick up, Atlantis is now on the show, taking Shocker’s place. There’s no explanation given, but I’m guessing they both just got today’s ad for the show (CMLL advertises both), noticed the change in the semimain, and that’s all we know.

Shocker wrestled in Guadalajara Wednesday, a show that got a lot more attention than usual because of Liger, and no one said anything about Shocker being hurt. If it was just an injury, he’ll probably make an appearance before his scheduled match tonight. If Shocker does not appear, that’s a really bad sign. CMLL appeared to be booking to Yujiro/Warrior and then Shocker/Garza vs No Limit, which would be up in the air.

Otherwise, nothing going on. At all!

Negro got DQed for taking Mistico’s mask. A little ahead of schedule there. Valiente & Astro Boy are swapped from what we had, but that was likely a mistake. Photos at the link.
