8) Rush b Ray Rowe
Advertised as a best of three falls, became a one fall match
Not a lot of reviews of the show, with the atomicos being the one getting the most praise. The VOD offering is supposed to be out in the next couple of days. Your guess is as good as mine on the second match, since the original planned match (Laredo/Ronnie vs Kriminal Boys) got split into a couple of matches. It was hinted Keira would be going to Japan if she won the title, and suggested again after she did win the title.
Puebla tonight has La Mascara, Mascara, Rush versus Diamante Azul, Marco Corleone and Maximo in the main event. Mascara & Marco were feuding last week, but CMLL’s shown an increased tendency to drop feuds or change them around of late. Semimain is Atlantis, Dragon Lee and Titan against Gran Guerrero, Niebla Roja, and Ultimo Guerrero, which might be the best match of the night. Tercera is not bad either, with Drone, Rey Cometa and Triton against Bobby Z, Misterioso Jr., and Sagrado. The minis are back in the second match with Acero, Aereo, Asturiano vs Demus, Mini Joker and Pierrothito. The opener is Meyer, Paris, Tigre Rojo Jr versus Ares, Malayo and Sombra Diabolica (first match here in six weeks.)
CultIcon previews this show. It’ll air on CMLL’s YouTube channel at 9pm CT
Super Libre has interviews with Al Carillo & Exterminador.
NJPW World has a new interview with Rush, probably taped over FantasticaMania.
An article about Arena Aficion, which is 65 years old tomorrow.
Box Y Lucha 3269 and Luchas 2000 #859 focus on Dr. Wagner vs Psycho Clown.
