1) Aeroman & Kanon b Araña de Plata & Atomic Star
Kanon appears to be a Skayde trainee – he’s back for the first time since Skayde was last here.
2) Electro Boy & Hip Hop Man b Metaleón & Mr. Leo
Lion Brothers Leo & Metaleon now have small lion stuffed animals and are using them during their match.
3) Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro b Mike, Skayde, Teelo
Terrible Cerebros continue to win. Skayde back here for the first time in 15 months.
4) Imposible © b Leo [IWRG IC Light]
Imposible’s 8th defense, first this year. Best match of the show.
5) Máscara Sagrada, Veneno, X-Fly b Canis Lupus, Cien Caras Jr., Eterno
Eterno and X-Fly continue to feud. Tecnicos 1/3 won despite Sagrada hurting a knee on a tope.

AAA has it’s two taping in three days tonight in Nuevo Laredo. It’s the traditional day for promotion Cantu in the area. The card is similar to Saturday’s show in Reynosa, with the same group of guys along for the three show tour.  The main event is Alberto & Fenix vs Cage & Texano Jr., which has a chance to be really good. Laredo Kid & Mocha Cota Jr. make a one off appearance in the segunda.

Arena Puebla has Angel de Oro defending his Light Heavyweight Championship versus Ripper. Oro’s almost certainly going to defeat the Invasor, but they had a good outing in their recent lightning match. If CMLL were to start posting matches from Puebla, as they said they would be, that would be a logical match to upload. There doesn’t to be a space on the site waiting for those Puebla/Guadalajara matches to be posted, but the helpful part of WordPress is it’s easy to make those additions as things go along.

A profile of Baby Face and his rice food cart outside of Arena Mexico. He credits Kuroneko with helping him learn how to make rice Japan-style, and will celebrate 20 years of this career on July 17th.

Super Nova wrestled on a show in Xalapa last night where they gave out roughly five billion different championships. Nova’s been listed on show in the last two months, but this is the first result I have for him since he was hurt in Tijuana. His right shoulder is still in a brace.

Segunda Caida reviews Angel de Oro, Dragon Lee, Titan vs Babaro Cavernario, Felino & Negro Casas.

Ohtani’s Jacket reviews Volador vs Pirata Morgan.

SuperLuchas looks at new judge Arturo Beristain’s career. Note Beristain will be evaluating En Busca de un Idolo on tan, body and skills in the ring. I would if the CaraLucha judges rated the luchadors on their tans.
