6) La Máscara b Averno [mask]
Mascara tried to dive on Averno to start the match, but Averno bashed him with something metal and busted Averno open. Averno quickly took fall 1. Mascara came back to win fall 2 with a surprise small package.

In a third fall with dives and each guy trying each other’s moves, Mascara finally won with two Devil’s Wings and the campana. Including fall breaks, match was about 29 (corrected) minutes long.

Final attendance guess is 80%, which puts this in the 14,000 range.

The Alvarados celebrated with La Mascara while Mephisto consoled his partner.

Averno is Renato Ruiz Cortez, 34, 16 years a wrestler.

CMLL.com has the unmasked photo, but it’s being crushed right now. I’ve reposted it here.

  2. So how long before they start asking if Renato Ruiz od gpong to the WWE? Not for nothing but he has the perfect look of an 80’s jobber on WWF CHALLENGE. I hope HHH to some head shots of Ruiz and has been working on a new look for him because this will not work.

    They should bring him in as Senor Wrestling or Mr Lucha. Or even better call him Brett Collins or any super white name they can come up with.

  4. Hey Cubs, we should send Dave Meltzer, Averno’s name as ReYnato OrTuiz! :)

    Ruiz has a good rudo look to him unmasked. I think he’ll do well either in WWE and post WWE.
