The micros match was a success: the match was fun, they did much more than you’d expect, and there was a huge crowd for the Kid’s Day show. If anything, they should’ve had it later in the night, because it was really tough to follow the show they put on. Kid’s Day itself (and the discounted tickets with it) were a reason this drew well, but it seemed like they drew over 10,000 fans for a show where the only match really promoted was the micros. It was tough to figure out exactly how much they drew, CMLL never turned on all the lights, but they did sweeping shots of the crowd to show off a lot of people in the upper reaches of Arena Mexico. They’re taking this match to Guadalajara on Tuesday and that probably won’t be the last time we’ll see it. It may lose something if they do it too often, but it’s probably won’t be the last match they have.

Ending the show with a DQ mask pull was odd. Niebla Roja toned down his disagreements with his partners after the first few moments of the match, allowing them to have a main event that more fit Kid’s Day. The crowd was into everything the entire show, even the not so good first couple of matches. It felt like more like the old Mistico days than even the large crowds of other shows, with an audience more willing to cheer the tecnicos and boo the rudos than the group that shows up for the Anniversary show.

YoDeportes has highlights of Carstico & Discovery vs Ultimo Guerrero & Gran Guerrero. It looks like that show drew really well, as packed as the AAW shows in that building.

Mr. Leo won a four way elimination match over Freelance, Daga and Centvrion in Gimnasio Hercules for Kamicazes del Ring. Daga wasn’t actually pinned, leaving the match with a knee injury. He made no mention of the knee injury on Twitter, so it’s probably not much.

Powerbomb.TV announced Puma & Tiger will now face Guerrero Maya & Triton on their 06/11 show, instead of Los Traumas. Fly Warrior will also be on the card.

+LuchaTV says they’ll have a professional shot version of Zack Sabre Jr. vs Negro Navarro up on Monday.
