Volador pulled Sombra’s mask and rolled him up to retain the title. Pictures make this look like the standard CMLL singles match. No details on the cibernetico.

Semimain came down to Gallo and Ephesto in the ring, and Ephesto just fouled Gallo for the DQ.

CMLL (TUE) 08/31 Arena Mexico [Fuego en el Ring, @cmllmagazine]

Mascara Dorada pinned Negro Casas with his own cradle to take the win. Dorada and Negro have been feuding, and this win led to Dorada challenging Negro for the CMLL Weltwerweight championship. Negro accepted, and Dorada will challenge for a four simultaneous championship next Tuesday. (This takes Negro out of the rudos cibernetico next week. Probably stands a better chance in the title match.)

Steve Ship of Lucha Libre USA told PWInsider (note: link goes elsewhere) that they always planned to run seasons, that they contract they signed was for 52 weeks but they never said it was for 52 consecutive weeks and they’re sure they will return. The plan may have been to runs seasons all along, but even a dense person can see the plan wasn’t to schedule two more TV tapings after they’ve stopped taping for the season. The article again mentions the plan to put video of the Charlotte show (still no results) and the upcoming Corpus Christi show on the website. The season has been done since Saturday, and they haven’t even mentioned that on their Twitter accounts, so I wouldn’t hold my breath for video.

Though video of the Season Final is up. Also, this week’s Ras de Lona.

Ratings

• CMLL 3.3 (down 0.8)
• AAA 4.3 (down 0.5)
• Masked Warriors: 0.05 (45,000 viewers) – on one hand, that’s nearly what they were doing on Saturday. On the other, it’s got to be close to the baseline people who would have MTV2 on if was just airing a test pattern (or a music video)

AAA’s added a taping on 09/14 in Mexico State. They were running a week short of TV on their old schedule (09/05 and 09/19), and probably have only one more taping to announced before Heroes Inmortales.

SuperLuchas says Alex Koslov will be starting with FCW in October, not the next year as Dorian Roldan had said.

Today in people who don’t want to lose their mask: Histeria. Interestingly, he suggest he’ll retire if he loses his mask in the cage match (which makes me reduce his chances.)

In half forgotten storylines, Tiger Kid and Puma King explain to Fuego en el Ring that their dad made them continue to team with each other after Tiger turned on Puma back on Infierno en el Ring. Puma is still not happy with Tiger.

Estrellas del Ring has an interview with Campesino del Valle and to Dick Angelo about his promotion.

The original Black Metal is wrestling in Mexicali this Sunday.

A new promoter is taking over running Arena Coliseo Monterrey, and bringing in the WWE fakes from the area. From when we’ve seen them before, I believe Tim identified fake Big Show as Neurosis and fake Rey Misterio as Quinto Misterio, but we haven’t seen the fake Jeff Hardy and John Cena yet.

There’s a weekly Santo film festival in Minneapolis, starting this Saturday and running thru the first weekend of October.

Heroes del Ring bio: Laredo Kid.

Thought the Anniversary show might be the end of Lyger for now, since NJPW is starting another tour this week, but he’s still around another week. Pequeno Olimpico on the rudo side? Hmmmm.

4) Máscara Dorada vs Negro Casas [CMLL WELTER]

16 man cibernetico. That’ll be interesting. All of the guys suspected of losing their mask in the cage match are not in this cibernetico, except Mr. Niebla.
