CMLL (TUE) 01/11 Arena Mexico
***Fan Appreciation Show (January, Tuesday)***
1) Bengala & Camaleón b Artillero & Súper Comando
2) Dr. X, Durango Kid, Hooligan b Ángel Azteca Jr., Hombre Bala Jr., Metálico
3) Dalys la Caribeña, Luna Mágica, Marcela b Amapola, La Seductora, Mima Shimoda
4) Blue Panther, Hijo del Fantasma, Místico DQ Atlantis, Dragón Rojo Jr., Último Guerrero
5) La Máscara b Psicosis

El Hombre de Campana won with another one, then challenged him to mask vs mask match.

Ultimo Guerrero fouled Misitco in the second fall (straight fall loss), then the Guerreros ripped up his mask. Hijo de Fantasma replaced Mascara Dorada, who’s probably still hurt and getting a little extra time off.

Marcela and Luna beat Amapola and Mima to take their match.

Angel Azteca Jr. replaced Guerrero Maya Jr. Still sort of surprises me that Bala is a tecnico. It’s a rudo family.

CMLL (TUE) 01/11 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Acertijo b El Divino
2) Molotov & Sensei b Malefico & Ráfaga
3) Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno b Puma King & Tiger Kid
4) Shigeo Okumura, Virus, Yoshihashi b Black Metal, Metal Blanco, Palacio Negro
5) Máximo, Rush, Toscano DQ Héctor Garza, Texano Jr., Volador Jr.

Volador blasted Rush with a foul to get the DQ.

The tecnico kids stood up to the rudos in the semimain, but still got put down. Virus beat Palacio Negro, Okumura suplexed Metal Blanco.

Puma & Tiger have been undefeated as a team on Sunday shows, but took a loss to another pair of brothers on their Tuesday debut. Cats demanded a rematch.

No Maya here either. Molotov took his place. We still haven’t seen Maya since he was sidelined with hepatitis.  Sensei and Malefico may be feuding.

Samurai was back as ref on this show.

We knew Nitro had won Galactico (San Luis Potosi)’s mask in mid December, but this post reveals Nitro also won the mask of “Power” in Siero de la Nacion, Mexico State on New Year’s Day. Not much of a win when it takes 10 days for anyone to notice, but a win’s a win.

CMLL PR also hypes these possible Dos Leyendas apuesta matches:
– Psicosis vs La Mascara
– Sombra vs Volador
– Dragon Rojo vs Mistico
– Hijo del Fantasma vs Mephisto

First one or last seem more likely, if it’s even on the list.

In Monterrey, Rey Vagabundo lost his mask to Pegasso, but it’s not the Pegasso from AAA & CMLL.

Lucha Libre USA wrestlers are scheduled to appear at the “largest matanza (pig roast) in the world” in Albuquerque on 01/29.

Big show in Tijuana, if everyone shows. That’s Rayman in the semimain. He was in the magazines last fall, saying he could not have a better father than Rayo de Jalisco Jr., so they’re clearly on good terms again.

It’s nice they remembered Mistico this year, though I think we should all vote for Sombra to drive him insane. More insane. Definitely vote for Mr. Niebla so he can make another surprise return.
