2) Ángel Del Amor & Emperador Azteca b Atomic Star & Electro Boy
Angel del Amor’s first match here since June.

Lupus wants another match with Golden Magic, but his teammates lost to Golden Magic’s teammates.
4) Alan Extreme & Veneno b Súper Nova & X-Fly [IWRG IC TAG]
Veneno & Alan Extreme kept the titles, tecnicos took 2/3. Alan got Super Nova with a counter dropkick to win the third fall, though Nova was sure he got his shoulder up before three. First defense.
5) Hijo De Dos Caras, Lizmark Jr., Vampiro b Cien Caras Jr., Hijo de Máscara Año 2000, Pirata Morgan
Hijo de Dos’ debut here. Tecnicos took 2/3. Vampiro beat Cien Caras Jr. with a backcracker to get revenge for last week. This led to Pirata/Cien challenges somehow.

No word on how Dos was. This show may or may not air this week. No Thursday show this week; AAA TV taping instead. They’re back on Sunday.

bloody match

A ceremony was held for Ari Romero Sr. after the fourth match. They played his music, had a minute of silence, then a minute of applause.

Tonight/tomorrow morning (2:30 AM CT) is the first FantasticaMania show. It’s one of two on iPPV; you can get it here. It’s the lesser of the two iPPVs with a lot of tag matches to build up singles matches later on; you probably should just wait until Tuesday evening and find out if it’s any good, not be up at an odd hour to watch this show. I am crazy, so I’ll have live coverage of some sort. (Results here, dumb comments on Twitter – I’ll save the chat for the Saturday show.)

Black Terry Jr. has pictures from the Arena Fusion show from Saturday.

Rob has highlights of 10/25/13 CMLL.

A scheduled mask vs hair match this weekend in Arena Coliseo Reynosa was canceled because the promoter’s lease with the building ran out. It doesn’t sound like the promoter mentioned the problems, the building was just closed when people got there. The promoter isn’t quoted in the article, but the lucahdors talk about how much they really wanted to do the match, cut promos on each other, and hope things can be figured out next week or that they can take it over to another building.

Porra Fresa has a preview of tonight’s Arena Puebla show.

CMLL preview for Friday.

Lineup

5) Vampiro Canadiense vs Pirata Morgan

Vampiro and Pirata have gone 16 years between singles matches. Winner of the main event gets a title match for Hijo de Cien the following week. Two straight weeks of Vampiro singles matches seem too much – one Vampiro singles match may be pushing it.

Hijo de la Bestia is a new name here, or anywhere. Oficials all teaming up!
