Black Terry Jr. has video of Mascara Ano 2000 being checked on by his rivals and back in the training room.

CMLL (SUN) 11/27/2011 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [El Occidental]
6) Dragón Rojo Jr. b Máscara Dorada
Dragon Rojo attacked Dorada during his entrance and won the first fall. Mask ripping second fall, with Dorada taking the fall. Dragon beat Dorada in the third fall when Dorada had his hand on the ropes.

Looks like a really bad turnout.

Other news

El Pancracio’s latest update is up, and the opening article seems to be guessing Sangre Azteca as the next luchador jump to Perros del Mal. Unless there’s another person who’s traveled to Europe to train wrestled and has “been converted to tecnico against his will.” I don’t think Sangre Azteca really wanted to be a tecnico (how you can tell: watch any of his 2011 matches), but I do think he was told he’d have plenty to do as a tecnico and not getting any of that is probably as much the source of the unhappiness.

Tonight’s Arena Puebla show has the Virus vs Dragon Lee CMLL (occasionally super) lightweight title match. It doesn’t feel like time for Dragon Lee to win, but CMLL is so clearly high on him that it feels 50/50. That match would be a really great week for Puebla to turn up on YouTube, just to know what Virus is capable. (That’s really why to root for Virus to win – more Virus singles matches.)

Luchas 2000 #597 has five different stories on the cover.

Rob has highlights of 11/15/11 C3.

Site Notes

Both Guerra de Titanes and Sin Piedad are 12/16, so I’ll definitely be running a chat and live results on that night.

There’s now a page of YouTube/video links added in the last week, in case you’re looking for what popped up (or what I’ve gotten to) lately. Updates nightly.
