Back to back Atomic Boy matches! Argenis makes TV. Gato Eveready is listed as “El Gato”, hmmm. Big match for Eterno.

Mystery people in the tag match are Japanese men. Maybe the return of Sugi (and debut of Ronin?) Maybe Masada just hangs around longer? Maybe something completely different.

That’s a four way. Odd that Chessman is back in the tournament but maybe he just likes the crown and sword a lot. This is just listed as Group Uno, and there’s no sign of how many groups there are. Last year was 3, and it’s usually been 4 before. 3 groups would mean they could do one per taping before Rey de Reyes without having to save on one the lame duck show. It is a semifinal match to a multiman match, they really could have anyone win it. I need to get out of the tournament prediction business!

Heavy Metal did not get an easy return match. Maybe he and Electroshock will end it right there. (NAH.)

I hope Mesias has a stern word with Ozz & Espiritu for turning on him way back when. He did destroy all of them later, maybe he’s over it. Seems like it’d keep Mesias vs LA Park going, but Zorro needs a challenger (and it probably will not be Espiritu.)

Main event is similar to others, with Nicho getting to play Extreme Tiger since he’s got better things to do. Cuervo vs Jack seems as likely as Cibernetico vs Parka – probably more, because I can’t imagine they’ll be doing a straight singles match with the heavyweights quite yet.

Invasors beat CMLL rudos, Rey de Reyes, Black Terry/Angel Mortal

CMLL (MON) 01/24/2011 Arena Puebla [Cinco Radio, SporTimes]
1) Centella de Oro & Tigre Rojo Jr. b Fuerza Chicana & Sauron
Tigre Rojo Jr. replaced Black Tiger
2) Aereo, Mini Maximo, Pequeño Halcón b Pequeño Nitro, Pequeño Violencia, Pequeño Warrior
3) Dark Angel & Luna Mágica b Amapola & Princesa Blanca
No Marcela or Mima Shimoda, so they did a tag match instead.
4) Rush, Toscano, Valiente b Felino, Misterioso II, Vangelis
Toscano replaced Fantasma
5) El Alebrije, Histeria, Psicosis b Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero, Volador Jr.
Tirantes was back to helping the Invasors. He pulled UG’s mask to set up the pin.

The two recaps have different finishes for the first two matches. I’m going with Cinco Radio. Misterioso tries to get his three way match in there.

Porra Fresa has a review of all the Puebla luchadors this year, and demands the local guys actually get to go somewhere with their feuds. Interesting theory about the original plans for the Arena Puebla anniversary main event too.

Thinking Marcela wins the title tonight. CMLL’s built to the match like there will finally be a title change. Guadalajara has the Mr. Trueno/Puma King title match.

AAA announced Rey de Reyes will take place March 19th, in Plaza Monuemental de Aguascalientes. First time back since May 21, 2009, a taping that was moved around because of the swine flu.

This week’s TV also announced taping in Teziutlan (02/19) and Irapuato (02/28). The 02/19 date means Naucalpan is definitely a six match, two show taping. I suspect one of those matches will be AAA TV version of a Negro Navarro/Black Terry vs Solar/Skayde tag match the WON has mentioned. If both of these new tapings are also double tapings, that would be enough to make it to Rey de Reyes. There’s probably one more though, early in March, to be the lame duck show the week of the major show.

Or maybe it won’t be that exact tag match. Angel Mortal boasted about his win to Mi Lucha Libre, and hinted at bringing in two surprises for a Black Terry/Negro Navarro/El Brazo/Dr. Cerebro vs Angel Mortal/Gran Apache/?/?? atomicos.
