CMLL (TUE) 03/29/2011 Arena Mexico [Record, CMLL]
1) Leono & Trueno b Artillero & Súper Comando
2) Astral, Eléctrico, Mascarita Dorada b Demus 3:16, Pequeño Warrior, Pierrothito
Astral beat Pierrothito, then asked for a shot at Pierrothito’s national lightweight title. That match seemed agreed on for Tuesday.
3) Fuego, Pegasso, Rey Cometa DQ Arkángel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Skándalo
Pegasso was back in action. Tuareg got DQ for putting a fire out: they pressed Fuego over the top rope. Straight falls.
4) Pólvora, Shigeo Okumura, Yoshihashi b Ángel de Oro, Sagrado, Valiente
Polvora cut Valiente down with a dropkick for the third fall. Valiente was stretchered out, and Polvora took the opportunity to challenge for Valiente’s welterweight title. Valiente was too hurt to agree, but it’s a possibility for sometime the future.
5) Blue Panther, La Máscara, La Sombra b Atlantis, Dragón Rojo Jr., Último Guerrero
Mascara and Sombra pinned Guerrero and Dragon Rojo, then challenged for a tag title shot. UG offered a rematch next week, and then maybe they’ll do it the week after. You’d think La Mascara wouldn’t trust any open ended title match promises from Guerrero, seeing as he’s still waiting for his heavyweight title shot.
CMLL (TUE) 03/29/2011 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Leo b Quca
Quca is a cockroach.
2) Infierno & Malefico b Black Metal & Virgo
Infierno replaced Exterminador
3) Metal Blanco & Palacio Negro b Inquisidor & Raziel
Fuego believes this is the end for Palacio & Metal here.
4) Delta, Metro, Sangre Azteca b Euforia, Misterioso Jr., Virus
Sangre pinned Misterioso
5) Héctor Garza & Volador Jr. b Rush & Toscano
Garza snuck in a foul on Rush to set up the win.
Lestat is excited to be in the Gran Alternativa. His long ago disappearing act in Guapos U is explained as “personal problems” (too dedicated to the Hardy gimmick?) and he’s mentioned as winning a local “torneo de la revelacion”. (???) Lestat hopes to beat a Guadalajara team to prove the Puebla school is as good. Kind of hope he does; I love some of those GDL guys, but CMLL ought to be giving the Puebla locals some more credit.
KBW, a promotion in Tampico, put a note up on it’s Facebook last night that their luchador Aborto had died. Except, he was not dead. He had moved out of town and stopped working for the promotion, but he was still alive and working elsewhere.
Rob’s blog has a music video for CMLL Japan on February 1999.
LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update.

Lineups
CMLL (MON) 04/04/2011 Arena Puebla
1) Asturiano & Stigma vs Akron & Sauron
2) Ángel Azteca Jr., Black Tiger, Starman vs Hooligan, Loco Max, Tigre Rojo
3) Blue Panther, Rush, Toscano vs Felino, Negro Casas, Shigeo Okumura
4) La Máscara, Máximo, Strong Man vs Héctor Garza, Hirooki Goto, Volador Jr.
5) Último Guerrero vs Mr. Niebla [CMLL HEAVY]
If Niebla wasn’t prone to disappear on knee injuries, that main event would look like a title change. Eventually, they’re going to need more champions for the Universal tournament, UG has two, and Mr. Niebla is very popular. Probably not going to happen.
Poor Goto.
This is the first time Tigre Rojo has been a rudo, as far back as my records go. (Which may not be far enough.) CMLL’s lineup notes Tigre Rojo is the current Arena Puebla middleweight champion; I also can’t think of when they’ve last mentioned a local’s title on this show. I can’t even find a record of a title match, but again that’s probably bad records.
