CMLL (SUN) 06/05/2011 Arena Coliseo [Cesar, CMLL]
1) Enrique Vera Jr. & Sensei b Bobby Zavala & Ramstein
Sensei replaced the departed Astro Boy. Tecnicos took 2/3.
2) Starman, Tigre Blanco, Trueno b Bronco, Mortiz, Semental
Tecnicos took 1/3.
3) Ángel Azteca Jr., Ángel de Plata, Rey Cometa b Arkángel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Raziel
Raziel and Loco Max replaced Dr. X and Skandalo. Tecnicos took falls 2/3. Arkangel received medical attention after taking Cometa’s match winning 450 splash. Looks to be more of a stomp in the picture, Cesar says it ended up being knees to the chest.
4) Misterioso Jr., Negro Casas, Volador Jr. b Black Warrior, Blue Panther, Sagrado
Negro and Panther stills strongly feuding. Rudos took falls 1/3. Cesar is down on Volador for his ‘lack of training’ – CMLL wrestlers are required to practice multiple times a week, and that implies Volador has decided to pass on the requirement. He’s seemed less motivated here lately, and there are plenty of people will to speculate that he may be heading somewhere else, but nothing concrete.
5) Máximo, Rush, Super Porky b Mr. Niebla, Shinsuke Nakamura, Último Guerrero
Tecnicos took 2/3. Rush beat UG with a senton in the third, then challenged him to a heavyweight title shot. UG immediately accepted. This is what happens when they forget to build Fan Appreciation main events.
Ultimo Guerrero vs Rush is interesting match. Rush has been the super rookie of CMLL for the last couple years – much like Shinsuke Nakamura was in NJPW a while back, actually. Ultimo Guerrero is in the programming department and everything he’s touched lately has turned to gold (or small crystal, I guess.) UG is the favorite because status quo is the way CMLL goes, but it’s surprising they’d put either guy in a position where they could have a meaningful loss.
Naucalpan results tomorrow.
Other notes
Caribbean Wrestling Mexico, the unknown promotion presenting at the Lucha Libre Expo, talked to Record about it’s very short history and it’s plans; it’s surprising there isn’t already a group running regularly around Cancun, capitalizing on tourist dollars.
Rob rebooks the upcoming major CMLL cards, and posts Skayde highlights, AAA highlights from 04/06/02 and 10/18/10, and Aero Star taking a bad fall.
LuchaWorld has Best of the Super Juniors highlights including Mascara Dorada, a recap of yesterday’s AAA TV and KrisZ’s nwes update.
SuperLuchas #416 has an interview with Tinieblas.
Luchas 2000 #573 has LA Park & Psycho Clown on the cover, with a tease of an Averno saying he’s got a firm contract and will not be going to WWE. Wonder if that one has a quote from Dr. Karonte Sr.

“Rush has been the super rookie of CMLL for the last couple years”
this seems to fly in the face of the term “rookie.”
@odessasteps: Time moves slower in Mexico.
