IWRG FILL (TUE) 09/24/2013 Arena Naucalpan [IWRG]

Chicanito & Orquidea Azul were said to be debuting.
2) Atomic Star & El Ídolo (Naucalpan) b Black Niko & Ultimo Caballero
3) Aviador, Electroboy, Vortice DQ Haziel, Jhon Terry, Skrull Metal
IWRG (Aviador) vs Gym Rivera (Jhon Terry). Vortice replaced Alas de Oro. Jhon fouled Aviador for the DQ.
4) Fulgore II, Látigo, Zurdog b Andy Boy, Karate Kid, Orion
IWRG (Fulgor II) vs Gym Rivera (Karate Kid)
5) Emperador Azteca, Fulgor I, Kiuby, Matrix Jr., Picudo Jr., Power Bull, Ranchero, Seiya b Argus, Aztlan, Belial, Black Thunder, Cirujano Jr., Hanaoka, Senky, Turbo [Copa High Power]
Gym IWRG vs Gym Skayde. Kiwby replaced Sky Angel. Fulgor beat Turbo for the IWRG win.
6) Dragón Celestial b Ciclón Black [mask]
Naucalpan vs Neza. Ciclon Black toped Dragon Celestial to start the match, but fell to a “power boom”. Ciclon’s second Tony Rivera helped him win the second fall. Tony kept interfering in the third fall, but Black Terry brawled with him to the back, and Dragon beat Ciclon to take his mask. Ciclon Black is Fabián Franco Ojeda, 5 years a professional.
Not a lot about the match itself. I feel like Fulgor I beating Turbo is like a personal victory over Rob.

11) Euforia, Mephisto, Mr. Niebla b Ángel de Oro, Shocker, Thunder
Shocker had Mephisto just about beat, but Euforia powerbombed Thunder and beat him first.
The previous tag team champions were a combination of an old masked legend and the best guy in the promotion, and that’s pretty much what Atlantis & Sombra are as well. (Plus Sombra and Tonga have somewhat unresolved issues.) I’m pretty sure this tournament was listed as a one night deal to determine #1 contenders, but it’s been turned into a 16 team tournament. The winners of this block are probably still getting the title shot.
I think I now hate tournaments more for having to cut them all into individual matches for video sharing purposes than the matches not being any good. But it’s close.

Lucha Libre in Japan
09/25 NJPW: Prince Devitt, Ken Anderson, Tama Tonga, Rey Bucanero, Bad Luck Fale [X] b Hiroshi Tanahashi, Togi Makabre, Jushin Liger, Captain New Japan [O] & Mascara Dorada
This is an irrelevant match, but that’s kind of the point – Mascara Dorada flew over to Japan to essentially work two minutes of 8/10 man tags for a week. Maybe he does a dive too. He’s not even getting pinned. This could be easier explained as “(well) paid vacation.”

Averno & Mephisto seem the favorite based on being rudos who match up with Atlantis & Sombra. Rojo & Escorpion might stand a chance. Hope Dorada & Titan get a run to the semifinal, but the odds are not in their favor.
