I got nothing today (see below), so this is a good time as any to remind you that the GALLI iPPV is this Saturday.
Besides the big TRT vs Reyes del Atlantida championship match (where the Atlantis trio must have their name on the line as well!), tonight’s Arena Mexico show also starts the Sangre Nueva tournament. CMLL mentioned the tournament in graphics on TV, but really didn’t explain it all. The CMLL Gaceta preview says the winner of tonight’s tournament will face the winner of next week’s tournament and does not mention teams (like the poster emphasis), so this is looking like a normal 16 man single elimination deal.
Skandalo & Hooligan, rejected on getting a title shot by Stuka & Fuego, went over their heads to the CMLL programming department and will get their shot after all. Skandalo has connections! It sounds like this match will happen Sunday, but that lineup is not yet available.
AAA’s twitter says tickets for Rey de Reyes will run from 600 Mexican Pesos ($46) down to 100 ($8) for adults and 50 for pesos ($3). That’s a bit more expensive than Dos Leyendas.
CMLL’s website has a poster for an upcoming show in Tijuana. The undercard includes local (and el Consejo member) Mortiz. I suspect he’s not actually going to be working that show. The other poster lists Angel de Oro & Fantasma as tag team champions; perhaps there is another tag title I’m unaware of they hold.
