Attendance looked as good or better than a usual Sunday show here (which seem to generally exist to give the kids training in the school some regular work.) They’re going another one of these shows on 12/30. They’ve also announced plans to run 15 boxing events in 2017.

There’s nothing really that important on this show but it’s a slow day. This theme park is running a show about once a month; the next card has Dragon Lee & a Hijo de Rey Mysterio vs La Mascara & Flamita main event for some reason. Better luchadors are in semimain, but promoters really believe any Rey Mysterio is a draw.

Rush & Naito won today in NJPW’s World Tag League. They’re up to 3-2, 6 points, with two matches left, and two points behind the leaders. One of those matches is against a team unlikely to get a win in the tournament, so they’re sure to go into the final day (December 7th) being in play for 1st place in the block.

Dragon Rojo Jr. announced Bobby Z was finally officially in the Revolucionarios trios. It looks like they were shooting promo photos in CMLL, so perhaps they’ll actually be booked as a trio.

Hechicero talks about his first Friday main event tomorrow.

Dragon Lee is off to Ring of Honor for his PPV match on Friday. They’ve announced he’ll be in a three way match with Will Ospreay and Kushida on the TV taping on Sunday.

Mil Mascaras says a lineup advertising him for a 12/04 show in Ciudad Juarez is false; an unauthorized person has been acting as his booking agent.

This is for nothing particular reason, except I was staring at the AAA TV chart trying to figure out what would air this weekend, but I’m guessing Guerra de Titanes is 01/20. Unless something weird happens, AAA will run out of TV around 01/21, I’m guessing the show is back in Mexico City, and Mexico City shows are usually Fridays, so there’s the guess. Could be completely wrong.

+Lucha put up LA Park vs Masada from this past week’s Lucha Libre Boom show. This is very likely not my jam but maybe you’ll dig it.

DTU is offering a bus trip to Pachuca for their anniversary show. Those who go get a second row seat and a ride back and forth for $400 pesos ($20USD.)

AAA put up a Latin Lover, Sergio Rojo Jr., and Antifaz vs Jerry Estrada, Sanguinario, and Arandu from June 15, 1996, on one of the TripleManias that year. It’s a match that wasn’t known to have aired before; if it did, it wasn’t recorded on any of the tapes that were floating around.

CultIcon and TKD review this week’s Lucha Underground, and TKD also has his recap for last week’s show up.

San Luis Potosi luchador Angel Aereo passed away.
