Bombero Infernal blew fire and had an axe. Do not mess with that man. Traumas won the semifinal in one sided three fall win. Rudos in the tercera are going by Los Gringos.

CMLL (FRI) 01/15 Arena Mexico [Cesar, Ovaciones (PDF), ESTO]
1) Artillero & Súper Comando DQ Starman & Tigre Blanco
2) Pequeño Warrior b Último Dragoncito, Pequeño Olímpico, Shockercito, Fantasy, Pierrothito, Pequeño Violencia, Pequeño Nitro [cibernetico]
3) Raciel b Ángel de Plata [lightning]
4) Naito, Shigeo Okumura, Villano IV b Ángel de Oro, Hijo del Fantasma, Metro
5) Terrible, Texano Jr., Vangelis b Brazo de Plata, Máscara Dorada, Volador Jr.
6) Héctor Garza b Último Guerrero

Hector Garza pinned Ultimo Guerrero clean in the main event off the moonsault. Garza took 1 and 3, UG won 2 with feet on the ropes. This should set up a title match next week. As luck (or solid planning) would have it, neither man is in next week’s tournament block.

Terrible got Porky with a senton, plus had his feet on the ropes for the win. Even Porky can’t kickout from feet on the ropes.

Naito pinned Hijo del Fantasma to win the fourth. Villano IV replaced his brother. I guess CMLL’s not worried about V4 beating the youngsters; this was his first match here since June.

Mini Olimpico replaced Tzuki again. This was Ultimo Dragoncito’s return to the ring after the car accident/horrible burns in September. Dragoncito did the huge tope con giro on Pierrothito, so he’s back. Warrior got Dragoncito for the win.

Super Comando fouled Starman in the opener.

5) Héctor Garza vs Último Guerrero [CMLL HEAVY]

Does the team scheduled to face Niebla & Maximo just get a bye? I think that’s the easiest way to go.

There’s no reason to do five matches here, everything is going to be super rushed and unsatisfying. If that was a straight cibernetico, they’d probably just do four matches, so not sure why they’re doing five when this will take even longer. Perhaps the Nueva Era will cause everything to be perfect!

(No.)

CMLL (SUN) 01/24 Arena Mexico
1) Astro Boy & Súper Camaleón vs Cholo & Durango Kid
2) Ángel Azteca Jr., Ángel de Plata, Fabián el Gitano vs Puma King, Skándalo, Tiger Kid

Toscano, in the semimain, on 52MX, like clockwork. Terrible’s fighting Porky a lot all of the sudden.
