Notes not gotten to last night
– Arena Mexico got a make over, with new lighting and walkway.
– CMLL says UG, Bam Bam and Volador were all taken to the hospital. Volador had major problems with his gear, and looked hurt thru the match.
– Bam Bam did get taken out going for an Asai moonsault, but Electrico beating Pierrothito was clearly the planned finish. As it turns out, Electrico is the young guy they were using this show to showcase a little more – see next week’s lineup.
– Finish to the main event didn’t come off right, and Negro didn’t get all his hair shaved off.
And on to Heroes Inmortales – previews by LuchandoLibre and SuperLuchas.
Box Y Lucha has short profiles of Pierroth and Alda Moreno.
Estrella del Ring notes the sub 10% attendance and badly run aspects of the Perros show in Cuernavaca.

Packed show.
Being it’s Liger and it’s the heavyweight title in a promotion without many actual heavyweights, CMLL might actually have him win and disappear with it back to Mexico. UG is the 80/20 favorite, but still…
Following last year’s pattern, all GA novatos are first timers, which means they’re going really deep to fill this out.
Mistico is the favorite in any tournament he’s in, but there are some other interesting possibilities. I think I’m rooting for the Panther/Cometa team. The Angel brothers teaming with the sorta feuding tecnicos would make for an interesting match. Tiger Kid teaming with one Pesta Negra is a nice touch. Shocker being included is odd, and makes me think they just wrote this lineup out last week and didn’t correct it. Maybe Warrior will end up in his spot? Five matches and a tournament means these are all going to be super short.
This is Pierrothito’s first defense of the title and I’d be very surprised to see him lose it.
