CMLL (FRI) 12/02/2011 Arena Mexico [CMLL, La Catedral]
1) Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II b Hombre Bala & Super Halcon Jr.
Rudos took 2/3. Rayos pulled a switch, with the previously eliminated Rayo coming back in to beat the tecnicos.
2) Pegasso b Loco Max [lightning]
Pegasso won in top rope splash in 6:00.
3) Diamante, Fuego, Stuka Jr. b Cancerbero, Raziel, Tiger
Rey Bucanero introduced Tiger as the newest TRT member. Tenicos took 2/3. In the third, Diamante took out Tiger with a dive, and the tag champs defeated the Cancerberos.
4) Olímpico, Psicosis, Volador Jr. b Atlantis, Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr.
Rudos took 2/3. Atlantis had the pin on Volador, but Tirantes decided he was a rudo this week and refused to count. Volador yanked Atlantis’ mask and got the pin. Tecnicos were angry, but also attacked by the Invasors after the match. Maya was strechered out.
5) Jushin Lyger, Máscara Dorada, Rush DQ Averno, Ephesto, Último Guerrero
Straight falls for the tecnicos. UG fouled Lyger in the second when he really didn’t need to. Lyger challenged UG to a singles match. UG said he’ll win for Mexico.
6) Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas b Blue Panther, La Sombra, Shocker
Peste Negra rushed the tecnicos and hit them with their usual assortment of weapons (trash can lid, toilet seat), which got them DQed this time. Rudos won fall 2 quick. Casas brothers submitted Panther with another double armbar. Shocker demanded the Felino vs Blue Panther hair match become a tag match with himself and Negro Casas, but Negro Casas said no.
Referees now appear to have two ads on them. They’ll have to go back to two referees per match soon to fit all the ads.
Other News
Hermano Muerte I Jr. passed away Thursday, due to a sudden stroke. He was His son is part of the Juniors promotion, scheduled to be part of their big ruleta de la muerte mask match at Arena Lopez Mateos tomorrow.
Not a lot of news from Ras de Lona, just the interviews to continue the current feuds. This week, someone was in love with turning off all the lights and shining a spotlight on whoever was talking. Tiger turning his back on his family and joining Rey Bucanero is the saddest thing that’s ever happened to Felino. The new TRT introduction was good. They had Lyger do an interview asking for a mask vs mask match with Ultimo Guerrero.
The Quien Para Por La Corona finals are going on right now, and will wrap up sometime this afternoon. Maybe we’ll know how the finals are supposed to work when they’re over?

Lineups
CMLL (FRI) 12/09/2011 Arena Mexico
1) Leono & Sensei vs Bobby Zavala & Bronco
2) Dragon Lee, Pegasso, Rey Cometa vs Cancerbero, Hijo del Signo, Raziel
3) Stuka Jr. vs Pólvora [lightning]
4) Atlantis, Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr. vs Olímpico, Psicosis, Volador Jr.
5) Blue Panther & Shocker vs Felino & Negro Casas
6) Jushin Lyger vs Último Guerrero
A lot of matches that look really good. Match 2 in particular has usually been fun. I hope it sneaks on TV somewhere.
Atlantis’ crew vs the Invasors for the Mexican trios titles is a good bet for the semimain on 12/16. I thought they had announced Lyger/UG for that last night, but I was mistaken.
It seems way late to be changing the hair match to a tag team one, but you can’t quite rule it out with CMLL today. Ras de Lona had that tag match as a trios with Maximo & Niebla, and the main event as Lyger, Mascara, Rush vs Ultimo Guerrero, Dragon Rojo, Volador. That doesn’t make any sense, because Atlantis was talking about challenging for the national trios titles earlier in the show, so they had to know Voaldor wouldn’t be available for the main event.
