6) Mr. Águila L Shocker, Máximo, Rush, Brazo de Plata, Blue Panther, Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero, Averno, Rey Escorpión [cage, hair, mask]
Luchadors were required to stay in 3 minutes. Order of escape went Rush, Rey Bucanero, Blue Panther, Negro Casas, Averno, Super Porky, Maximo, and Rey Escorpion. Shocker defeated Mr. Aguila in under a minute to win. Mr. Aguila is now 0-4 in CMLL apuesta matches. Shocker is 18-1 in all apuesta matches.
Mr. Aguila and Shocker was very short. It was so brief, it felt like something went wrong, but there’s no confirmation of that; the closest thing we can find is Shocker apparently winning with a suplex, when Shocker never wins with a suplex. Fans were very unhappy with the quality of the cage match, but did like the semimain event.
Attendance was outstanding for this show. I am not good at guessing attendance so don’t treat this as anything more than guess, but maybe 12,000? Arena Mexico looked far more full than usual, though there were still some sections where no one was seated.
Lucha Libre in Japan
07/20 NJPW: Shinsuke Nakamura b La Sombra [IWGP IC] – sad but not surprising. Said to be a good match.
