CMLL (SUN) 07/24/2016 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Domingos Familiares]
1) Black Sugar & Capitán Cobra b Diplomático & Guerrero de la Muerte
Tecnicos took 1/3
2) Évola & Mr. Apolo b El Yaqui & Javier Cruz Jr.
Rudos took 1/3, only losing the second by excessive violence DQ.
3) Johnny Dinamo & Randy DQ Carlo Roggi & Exterminador
Mr. Apolo & Evola ran in for the save, and Yaqui & Javier Cruz made the save.
4) Metatrón, Nautilius, Reyko b El Chakal, Sádico, Thunder Boy
Tecnicos took 1/3, Reyko beat Sadico to set up a title match next week, though Sadico took Reyko’s mask after the challenge.
5) Joker, Ráfaga, Ripper b El Divino, Magnum, Vaquero Jr.
Rudos took 1/3.

Nothing much exciting happens on these Guadalajara shows, but the booking generally makes sense.

5:50. Rudos took straight falls. Escorpion got away with a foul on Maximo to set up a heavyweight title match show.

Boring show. Escorpion/Maximo might be good next week, but this week wasn’t much. These shows had a low hit rate when they were on Cadena3, but at least it was a shorter show.

No Lucha Underground this week. No Lucha Underground the next five weeks. Lucha Underground is back probably some time in 6 to 10 weeks.

Triton was back off the ROH lineup at last check. Perhaps he’ll be back on a third time by the time you read this.

Lineups

The four guys who’ve been feuding for the last few months continue feuding.

CMLL (MON) 08/01/2016 Arena Puebla
1) Arkalis & Millenium vs Espíritu Maligno & Saurón
2) Black Tiger, Rey Samuray, Starman vs Ares, El Cuatrero, Sansón
3) Blue Panther Jr., Stigma, The Panther vs Felino, Puma, Tiger
4) Dalys © vs Lluvia [CMLL WOMEN]
5th defense
5) Atlantis, Blue Panther, Stuka Jr. vs Rey Bucanero, Terrible, Vangellys
6) Mistico, Shocker, Volador Jr. vs La Máscara, Marco Corleone, Último Guerrero [Relevos Increíbles]

CMLL’s recap of last Monday’s show has Volador challenging for a title match, which I don’t recall actually happening but maybe it was supposed to happen. It’s not happening next week, but perhaps that’s what the main event is setting up. Dalys is likely to remain champ. No King Jaguar; apuesta matches are often the end of run for Puebla locals.

CMLL (TUE) 08/02/2016 Arena México
1) Acero & Aéreo vs Pequeño Nitro & Pequeño Universo 2000
2) Magnus, Oro Jr., Starman vs Canelo Casas, Metálico, Nitro
3) Hombre Bala Jr., Soberano Jr., Tritón vs Disturbio, Skándalo, Virus
4) Ángel de Oro, Guerrero Maya Jr., Titán vs Dragón Rojo Jr., Luciferno, Pólvora
5) Diamante Azul, Johnny Idol, Valiente vs Cavernario, Negro Casas, Sam Adonis
6) Máximo Sexy © vs Rey Escorpión [CMLL HEAVY]
8th defense

A show. Escorpion & Maximo had a title match nearly a year ago in Guadalajara, but the video never turned up. They’ve had good matches in their past

CMLL (TUE) 08/02/2016 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Capitán Cobra & Johnny Dinamo vs Carlo Roggi & Linterna
2) Estrellita, Princesa Sugehit, Sanely vs Amapola, La Seductora, Reyna Isis
3) Esfinge, Rey Cometa, Súper Porky vs Kráneo, Olímpico, Vangellys
4) Marco Corleone, Máscara Dorada, Stuka Jr. vs Rey Bucanero, Shocker, Terrible
5) Carístico, Mistico, Volador Jr. vs Ephesto, Euforia, Mephisto

Caristico said last week that he’d be out a month, so I have no earthly idea why would be advertised for this show. No one’s really explained what the deal with Super Porky, but he’s advertised as well. I wonder if Dorada will be advertised for months after he’s gone.
