Match came down to Pirata & Cien, and the Dinamitas argued Cien Caras got his shoulder up in time. At any rate, Pirates and Dinamitas are feuding again.
CMLL (MON) 11/01 Arena Puebla [CMLL]
1) Ares & Centauro de Fuego b Blue Center & King Jaguar
2) Bronco, Puma King, Tiger Kid b Guerrero Maya Jr., Horus, Tigre Blanco
3) Ángel de Oro, Leono, Sensei b Demus 3:16, Dr. X, Nitro
4) Misterioso II, Pólvora, Sangre Azteca b Máximo, Metro, Stuka Jr.
5) Blue Panther, Máscara Dorada, Místico DQ Felino, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero
In revenge for last week, Mistico tossed his mask to Bucanero to draw a DQ. Singles match coming up soon.
Rudos won the semimain and challenged for the Mexican National trios titles, though the tecnicos pointed out Dorada was the third champion, not Maximo. Misterioso pointed out Dorada was in the locker room and called him out. Dorada said he’s leaving for Japan on Sunday, so he can’t defend the titles on Monday, but he promised a title match when he returned.
Fuego en el Ring has fan polling about why they’re not happy with CMLL. The common theme is the ex-AAA guys are pushed far better than their spot, and Tirantes’ act detracts from the supposed serious and stable. The Tirantes bit was supposed to give the Invasors more credibility – even if they weren’t on the CMLL guys level, they could still cheat a way to a win – but it really seems to have backfired.
Dragon Rojo Jr. says winning the tag team titles is a reward for all his hard work. The man clearly works hard, though maybe he’s too focused on certain work.
Cibernetico is sad his best friend La Parka didn’t trust him. His best friend? La Parka says they will always be friends, and he doesn’t want to go back to feuding with Cibernetico. The newest Bizarro vignette, with Amadeus, is up.
CMLL in NJPW: they posted the Terrible & Texano vs Tanahashi & Tajiri match on YouTube. I give this match 4 Ts.
