CMLL C3 will start a couple hours late today, due to coverage of the Pope’s arrival in Mexico.
Psycho Clown was talking up an upcoming match with TNA wrestlers before Rey de Reyes. I would not be surprised if they get around to that match at TripleMania. Jeff Jarrett wrote on Twitter about another meeting with Dorian Roldan this week, so AAA’s not done with Jeff or his guys quite yet.
AAA’s posted a pre-Rey de Reyes promo with el Consejo, hyping up that match. Timing is a bit odd, but odder is Texano seems to have some sort of right hand injury. There’s also a new Consejo logo, though they have not removed the old one.
Perros del Mal announced re-enforcement: Taya Valkyire (guess they haven’t decided what name to use), Keira, Vaquerita (both have been on PdM shows) and Pete Powers (another Canadian.)

Lucha Libre in Japan
Zeuxis & Mima Shimoda won the REINA tag team titles from Lluvia & Luna Magica. Silueta kept the CMLL-REINA Intenational Junior titles over Aoi Ishibashi in 16:45 via moonsault.
Something of Dos Leyendas must’ve aired on Samurai TV this morning, because there were a few Japanese tweets fascinated with Namajague.

CMLL (FRI) 03/30/2012 Arena Mexico
1) Astral & Último Dragoncito vs Niño de Acero & Pequeño Violencia
2) Ángel de Oro, Black Warrior, Hijo del Fantasma vs Ephesto, Pólvora, Rey Escorpion
3) Delta vs Mephisto [lightning]
4) La Máscara & Pegasso vs Blue Panther & Rey Cometa and Dragon Lee & Rush and Máscara Dorada & Titán and Niebla Roja & Último Guerrero and Euforia & Terrible and Bobby Zavala & Rey Bucanero and Negro Casas & Puma King [Gran Alternativa, semifinal]
5) Volador Jr. vs Prince Devitt [NWA MIDDLE]
Last year, the report was CMLL was so unhappy with Volador that they wouldn’t let NJPW bring him over for shows. This year, Volador gets a title match with Prince Devitt. Things can change in a year. This is the first Volador/Devitt match but probably not the last.
One young person tournament ends, another starts. Added bonus: it includes the equally young Euforia, who would be an awesome winner but probably won’t win. We can rule out Pegasso, Cometa and Zavala teams. Niebla Roja is a totally new name to me. Teaming with UG means he’s someone important, but probably not going to win. Negro Casas & Puma King would be fun but probably mean there’s a tecnico coming out of the other half of the bracket that’ll win. Dragon Lee & Rush would be obvious if Dragon Lee just won the other tournament. Dorada/Titan?

4) Violento Jack vs Peligro, Aeroboy, Pesadilla, ? [PdM EXTREMO]
5) el Hijo del Perro Aguayo & Texano Jr. vs Héctor Garza & Toscano [Relevos Increíbles]
The poster has a whole bunch of people scheduled to appear. The lineup is not really interesting, except in how many ways they can do the same exact matches. A bit surprising they’re going to the same building so soon, and most surprising they’re doing this show the same day as an AAA TV taping. They’ve avoided doing that before and it means they don’t have too many rudos for the main event.
Semimain means X-Fly left his title behind too. Or maybe he’ll be the mystery man.
