top six stories of the last two weeks

1. CMLL told the press there would be a press conference about Mistico. Later, CMLL disavowed all knowledge of any press conference. Meanwhile, he’s listed as working CMLL shows in northern Mexico next week. Mistico’s photo is no longer taken down from their websites and promotional info, but they’re going out of their way not to mention his name.
2. Magnus debuted for CMLL. Most of the Generacion 2011 guys have looked unrefined, and Magnus would’ve probably been as good as any of them in a vacuum. This debut caught a more attention than the other debuts because Magnus was dressed in a Mistico like silver and white and a similar mask while doing similar moves. (The color switch seemed to be a last minute change – he had his own t-shirt, but with his white/red colors.) The “new Mistico”, who’s related to the original one, was the talk of the week. CMLL ignored that talk too.
3. Extreme Tiger advanced in the Rey de Reyes tournament. The other 3 blocks were announced are Aerostar/Electroshock/Mesias/Super Fly, Wagner/Park/Nicho/Halloween, and Jack/Decnnis/Cuervo/Carlito (debuting)
4. Pequeno Olimpico won the CMLL Minis title, ending Bam Bam’s 2 plus year reign.
5. Heavy Metal and Electroshock challenged each other (and us) to a five match series. Electroshock used a distraction and a guitar to win the first match.
6. Blue Panther & Dragon Rojo, representing La Laguna, advanced to the national tournament final
