1) Gato Montes & Rey Infierno b Bravo I & Bravo II

Esther Moreno was the surprise luchadora, got the win.

4) Alas de Oro, Golden Magic, Terry 2000 b Arez, Sádico, Yoruba
5) Máximo & Rey Hechicero b Caifan & Dr. Cerebro
Hechicero beat Cafian for the win. said to be a very good match
6) Carístico & Cibernético b La Máscara & Rush
Ciber/Caristico took 2/3. Mascara escaped La Mistica, but Caristico pulled his cradle for the win.

Caristico actually gets pinfalls away from Arena Mexico! Cheating ones but still.

IWRG (SUN) 02/07/2016 Arena Naucalpan [+LuchaTV, Black Terry Jr. (Flickr), IWRG]
1) Adrenalina & Vampiro Metálico b Black Dragón & Kaling Black
2) Astro, Emperador Azteca, Súper Astro Jr. b Balak, Hip Hop Man, Novasonic

straight falls.
4) Atomic Star, Heddi Karaoui, Herodes Jr., Trauma I b Danny Casas, Dragón Fly, Hijo De Dos Caras, Veneno
Trauma I stole the victory over Hijo de Dos from Herodes, and asked for his own heavyweight title shot. Herodes still wants one. Dos suggested they put their hair and mask on the line against his title.
5) Hijo del Pantera & Pantera © b Negro Navarro & Trauma II [IWRG IC TAG]
Panteras retained the titles. Second defense

AYM didn’t tape Sunady’s IWRG show, so Black Terry Jr. has highlights of the tag title match, Imposible, Dibalo, Dibalo Jr. vs Dr. Cerbero, Diva Salvaje, Pantera I and Super Astro Jr., Emperador Azteca, Astro vs Hip Hop Man, Balak, Novasonic.

There was a Super Astro Jr. wrestling in 2007; I’d assume this is a new one since he doesn’t turn up again until 2015 (and he looks quite young.)

Today’s Arena Puebla is main evented Atlantis, Mascara Dorada, Mistico versus Rey Bucanero, Terrible, Ultimo Guerrero. Volador and Negro Casas had the issue in the main event last week, and will match up in a lightning match this week. Last week’s show also saw Mephisto cheated to defeat Angel de Oro and they’re matched up again in at trios with Titan, Triton, Luciferno & Ephesto. Like always, it’ll stream on CMLL’s website and on their YouTube channel at 9pm.

Konnan’s harsh comments about AAA and others were picked up by SuperLuchas. This seems like some new comments, but I don’t see a new podcast up on their site – maybe it’s on their message board? The newer things were criticism about how AAA would waste guys like Johnny Mundo in useless matches with the likes of La Parka, and how Faby Apache lost a hair match but didn’t actually cut her hair. (The bit where Faby was wrestling a lucha libre expo a few days later with a cap on, only the cap flew off during the match and exposed she didn’t shave her head, is still hilarious.) SuperLuchas previously mentioned Konnan being out as booker, but the stuff about Jarochita & Argos was skipped before, isn’t being skipped now. Those kind of statements are usually skipped over by Mexican press.

Lucha Underground is putting up short videos following up on each week’s show on their channel. Last week had Catrina talking about her plans. This week has the Mack happy about his win.

MasLucha has a lot of new videos, including Mascara Dorada talking about his return to Arena Mexico.

Segunda Caida watches Negro Navarro, Trauma I, Trauma II vs Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro

Trauma II is not always the biggest fan of catching dives.

That’s a unique lineup. I can’t think of another minis main event that wasn’t a multiman cage match. (I keep trying to look in my database and my database gives up and dies.) It’s more because the minis happened to be the only CMLL DF people sent for this show, but they’d often stick them in the semimain just because they’re minis.
