4) Blue Panther, Hijo del Fantasma, Máscara Dorada DQ Atlantis, Averno, Dragón Rojo Jr.
5) Último Guerrero b Psicosis
Guerrero Special for the clean win. Tirantes was no factor (or Psicosis was beyond help.)
Mistico
CMLL is advertising him for future shows. Zocalo writes about a trios of CMLL shows at Arena Pavillon del Norte this month. CMLL’s been sending 2-6 guys there regularly, and the match they’re sending for 02/27 are Averno & Volador Jr. vs La Mascara & Mistico. The Arena Coliseo Monterrey promoters also are advertising Mistico for their 02/27 show (and CMLL guys usually work both.) The Zocalco show refers to Mistico’s mask as part of a farewell tour before starting with WWE, though it’s not clear if CMLL or the article is labeling that way.
CMLL had previously mentioned Mistico would work all previously scheduled dates. Prior to now, there just had not been any announced dates, but both major lucha promotions schedule long in advance. This is still just an agreement between CMLL and the local promoter. We’ll know if Mistico still is working these dates if he appears at the press conference.
WagnerMania writes about the changes in Mistico’s personality over time.
Related: Cesar teases the identity of another CMLL luchador who tried out for WWE. Plenty of people know who this person is. (Even *I* know.) It’s just not clear if CMLL knows. If they do, they haven’t suspended him. If they don’t, and the name gets out, and he gets suspended, that’ll be sad for everyone. I’m 99% sure they know the name – when CMLL was told about Mistico trying out, they were told about everyone who tried out – but better safe than sorry. As far as we know, only Mistico was signed.

Rey de Reyes
Mi Lucha Libre has all four groups, including the two new yet to be revealed ones:
A: Extreme Tiger won
B: Electroshock, Aerostar, Super Fly, Mesias
C: Dr. Wagner, LA Park, Halloween, Nicho el Millonario
D: Jack Evans, Carlito, Ozz, Decnnis
The Electroshock vs Super Fly feud lives! That seems like three tecnicos and one rudo, though I’m not totally sure what sign Electroshock is meant to be on. Jack and Carlito can discuss coping with unhappy working arrangements before their match. I have no strong feeling on who’s going to win any of these groups, but it is nice they have four. I suspect all the ‘big’ names will take each other out so they can be spun out into single matches.
They announced the C group on TV, but maybe the B group is next? AAA says they’ll be announcing the next taping lineup in a few days.
Other Stuff
Viva La Lucha: Continental Conflict debuts on PPV this weekend. The trailer is here. The Mexico matches are from the 11/06 Perros del Mal Tijauna show.
Main event this Sunday for FULL/CMLL @ Arena Coliseo Monterrey (& Arena Pavillon): Rey Bucanero, Dr. X, Skandalo vs Mr. Aguila, Hijo del Fantasma, Angel de Oro. Bucanero and Aguila seem flipped, even though both are technically rudos.
In the undercard of the DTU show where Aeroboy and Violento Jack picked up the AULL Tag Team Titles, Zagma beat Desafiante for his mask. Also in the match: Fly Star (or Cometa Fly in DTU’s recap), who said to be training under Decnnis. No idea Decnnis was training people.
We still don’t know if tonight’s Arena Mexico Cibernetico means anything, but Virus and Stuka are co-favorites.
