Luchadors were required to fight for 10 minutes prior to leaving. Spartan, a popular pick to lose, was first out, followed by Trauma II, Factor, Hijo de Dr. Wagner, Fierro, Hijo de LA Park, Hijo de Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Trauma I (hurting, Pirata tried to pull him back in, Trauma II threw a beer in Pirata’s face), and Pirata. That left Carta Brava Jr., Angel and 911. Fierro came back in here to help 911 escape, but was left behind. Carta Brava Jr. escaped next, but Fierro came back in himself to help 911. 911 & Fierro destroyed Angel, who did manage to get free to dive on them from the top of the cage. 911 escaped, tried to hit Angel with a chair to knock him off the cage, but hit his partner instead. 911 was very sad and offered to unmask instead of Fierro, but the commission said no. Fierro is Fernando Montes Martínez, from Mexico City, 38 years old, and 13 years a wrestler. Oficial 911 is the only masked wrestler left in his trio.

This is the second time Oficial Fierro has lost his mask in IWRG. 7 years ago, Ultra Mega was unmasked at a year end show, giving the same name. This is the first time Angel has won a mask under that identity. The match will air on TVC Deportes this weekend, and on their YouTube channel early next week.

Tonight’s Arena Mexico show is headlined with the first Ultimo Guerrero vs Rey Escorpion match. CMLL’s been teasing  this match since they paired the two in last year’s Forjando un Idolo tournament, and it’s a big opportunity for the youngster. It’s also a chance for Ultimo Guerrero to wrestle the same match he does every singles match, move for move. Semimain has TTT (Tiger, Terrible, Tonga) vs Atlanits, Sombra, Rush. Titan and Polvora cross paths in the fourth match.

CMLL announced Televisa was moving their show for this week only. Instead of the usual 3 pm Saturday afternoon slow, they’ll air at 5:30 pm Central on Sunday (heads up with the Terra show.) This probably means those of us in the US are out of luck. As LLL has pointed out in the comments, Galavision US seems to be taping the show directly off Televisa (Galavision Mexico)’s airing, then cutting it up for the extra two commercial breaks. If it doesn’t air in Mexico, Galavision can’t tape it. I would’ve thought, in 2012, CMLL or Televisa would just be sending a file to the US channel (especially since the show is done well in advance of airing), but stuff like the Mexican lottery numbers slipping on screen show that’s not the case.

This probably means AAA – airing right after CMLL – is pre-empted and moved to some other time, but they’ve said nothing as of the time I’m posting this. No online TV listings I’ve looked at – including Televisa’s own site – mentions this change. CMLL says everything goes back to normal next week.

Tinieblas Jr. has a new website. It has a store, allowing money to be exchange for goods. Crazy! Don’t see any mention of shipping costs, so you may want to check into that before ordering your Tinieblas mug.

NJPW and CMLL announced FantasticaMania would be a 3 day event for the first time ever, running 01/18 to 01/20. They’ve announced the talent list in the middle of November the last couple of years (the same press conference which also announced the end of year show), so we should have more info in a few weeks.
