CMLL (TUE) 02/08/2011 Arena Mexico [CMLL]
1) Enrique Vera Jr. & Leono b Bronco & Mortiz
2) Demus 3:16 b Virus, Stuka Jr., Fuego, Ángel de Plata, Dr. X, Puma King, Rey Cometa, Hijo del Signo, Durango Kid, Hombre Bala Jr., Dragon Lee [cibernetico]
Order in reverse order of elimination. Dragon Lee knocked himself out on a dive. CMLL.com says he had memory issues, which sounds bad. Final four were Stuka/Fuego/Virus/Demus, but the rudos surprisingly beat both the tecnicos. While the ref was busy getting Stuka out, Demus fouled Virus and got the winning pin. CMLL taunts this as the student beating the teacher.
3) Héctor Garza, Shigeo Okumura, Texano DQ Hijo del Fantasma, Super Porky, Toscano
Texano fouled Super Porky. Porky demanded a hair match.
4) La Máscara, La Sombra, Rush b Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
Rush pinned Ephesto with a back suplex.
CMLL (TUE) 02/08/2011 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Amor al Deportes, Fuego en el Ring]
1) Magnum b Evola
Samurai was referee, and Evola was not happy with his deciding count
2) Guerrero Maya Jr. & Starman b Infierno & León Blanco
3) Pequeño Universo 2000 & Pierrothito b Eléctrico & Shockercito
4) Gallo, Sagrado, Sangre Azteca b Escorpion, Misterioso II, Pólvora
Sangre Azteca teaming with Gallo & Sagrado just seems wrong. Rudos punished Sangre for switching sides, but Sangre pulled off a surprise small package on Misterioso to win it for his side.
5) Felino & Rey Bucanero b Máscara Dorada & Máximo
Tecnicos took the first. Rudos got the second when Bucanero faked a foul from Maximo, as he did last week. Maximo tried the same trick in the third, the fans protested, and Perico flew over and fouled Maximo in the confusion. Bucanero pinned Maximo for the win. Fine teamwork!
Mi Lucha Libre visits El Mexicano’s lucha libre class, which includes his two sons. I would not take credit for training El Padrino.
On the Naucalpan AAA taping, Hijo de Tirantes bashed Fabi Apache’s leg with a bat. That should put her out of action for a while. Gran Apache is not happy.
A flyer for shows from February 22 to 24 in Tamaulipas list a bunch of CMLL, indy, and US indy names: Maximo, Olimpico, Alebrije, Estrellita, La Mascara, Casandro, Mil Mascara, Octagoncito, Carlito, Colt Cabana, Adam Pearce and Mellisa Anderson among others. Cabana’s website has a list of upcoming dates but doesn’t (yet?) mention any of those.

Mas-Taco looks awesome!
Has Hijo del Signo been working with CMLL/in Arena Mexico for long?
@New Talking Wall: He started at the very end of 2010 as part of the Generacion 2011 group.
I totally read the headline as ‘Perico outs Maximo’. Was expecting an amazing angle to come from that. Oh well.
That Torneo result only makes sense if they book a match next week and give us 20 minutes of Virus vs Demus.
Mas-Taco?
I definetly feel Camorra request is very reasonable.
If we are getting either Demus vs Virus or vs Valiente or both matches then that is great.
RAW 8.6
Smackdown 9.2
CMLL 3.1
AAA 3.1
Super Bowl on Azteca 7.1
Super Bowl on Televisa 7.8
Mas Deporte 5.5
Accion 6.1
Boxing Azteca 7.2
Boxing Televisa 6.5
What’s sad is that after AAA went off, Televisa aired three movies against the Super Bowl, which did a 6.8, 7.6 and 8.5 respectively. Amores Perros did the 8.5.
CMLL is still in the range they were in about a year ago, while AAA is trending downward. You’d think AAA would do much better because of the name value, a Sunday slot, and the fact that Televisa is the only way to see AAA, while CMLL is on many channels.
Whether it’s Demus or Virus vs Valiente, the match is going to be awesome. Now that Mistico’s gone (or seems to be) why don’t CMLL push Valiente? Good idea? Bad idea? I don’t know, just an observation.
@Calabcd44: I don’t think anyone would be against a Valiente push but I think the crowd wouldn’t accept him as a true main eventer after years of him being treated as a middle of the card guy. Actually CMLL has that problem with a lot of tecnicos on the roster.
@Calabcd44:
I think a Valiente push would be a great idea, as long as there is consistency. Unless I am reading the matches order wrong, in 2010 he was in the semimain for at least a third of Arena Mexico’s shows booked and then sent back to the middle of the card as Rob points out.
I know I may be biased, can’t help it…
Next time I get the chance to see him live I’ll carry a support banner, and not a handmade one as last time!
I meant shows he was booked in (not all shows booked), sorry.
