Kraneo tecnico, CMLL 75th anniversary, Penta & Fenix to Impact, ZSJ/Mexico

I’m very tired and this isn’t much good. More tomorrow, though probably later than usual.

CMLL (FRI) 04/06/2018 Arena México [+LuchaTV, CMLL]
1) Cancerbero & Raziel b Astral & Eléctrico 
rudos took 1/3.
2) Drone, Fuego, Tritón b Disturbio, Misterioso Jr., Sagrado 
tecnicos took 1/3.
3) Cavernario, Felino, Negro Casas DQ Kawato San, Okumura, Sam Adonis 
Peste Negra took 2/3, the last when Adonis fouled Casas. This set up a singles match next week, with Adonis threatening to end Casas’ career.

Valiente submitted Stuka Jr.
5) Euforia, Gran Guerrero, Último Guerrero b Dragón Lee, Mistico, Titán 
rudos took 1/3. Money thrown in.
6) Atlantis, Carístico, Volador Jr. b Kráneo, La Bestia Del Ring, Rush [Relevos Increíbles] 
straight falls, with Kraneo betraying his team and joining the tecnicos.

At least it only took one more extra week for Kraneo to turn tecnico.

Arena Coliseo 75th Anniversary
1) Magnus & Robin b Akuma & Príncipe Odín Jr.

2) Amapola, La Seductora, Zeuxis b Dalys, Estrellita, Marcela 
Dalys subbed for La Vaquerita. Rudas took 1/3, the last when Dalys betrayed her team for the night. Estrellita’s first match in eight months.
3) Audaz, Guerrero Maya Jr., Rey Cometa b Puma, Tiger, Virus 
Tecnicos took 2/3. money thrown in.
4) Ángel de Oro, Diamante Azul, Niebla Roja DQ Rey Bucanero, Shocker, Terrible 
straight falls, Bucanero fouling Angel de Oro in the second.
5) Máscara Año 2000 & Negro Casas b Solar I & Súper Astro 
Super Astro & Mascara 2000 used their mask with permission. Rudos took 1/3.
6) Atlantis & Blue Panther b Fuerza Guerrera & Satánico 
Tecnicos took 2/3. Blue Panther used his mask. Guerrera challenged Atlantis to a mask match.

Sounds like the third match is the only good match here if you’re going back to watch.

A show. They at least remembered the Sugehit/Seductora feud.

Lucha Underground Season 4 will debut on Wednesday June 13. The announcement was made during the Impact versus Lucha Underground show on Saturday night, and includes a short video teaser. The plan was for 26 episodes, which would mean the final episode of the season would air on December 5th.

Alberto el Patron was fired from Impact Wrestling on Sunday after missing the main event of that Saturday show. Earlier in that same show, Impact had announced Fenix & Pentagon Jr. would appear on Impact’s 04/22 show. That was originally supposed to be a singles match between those two. They’ll instead both replace Alberto, facing Austin Aries for the Impact championship. Alberto has issued no statement since being fired. Alberto is scheduled to be part of a sponsored Revolucha show next Sunday, and may appear at a Combates America press conference next Friday.

Pentagon & Fenix are using their AAA names and being listed as AAA participants. There’s special circumstances with the Impact/AAA relationship, the same as MLW having a relationship with AAA which might have given them special permission to sue Penta & Rey Fenix’s originally names. Everyone’s either publicly denying that anything’s changed or just not talking anything at all. Still, something’s had to change in the AAA/Lucha Brothers dynamic. Impact’s been wanting to use Penta & Fenix since they became available and what seemed not possible now is possible.

Also at WrestleCon, Zack Sabre Jr. clarified has anti-Mexico remarks as actually anti-Mexican Wrestlers remarks, since they keep beating him and he’s angry about it. He challenged Negro Casas, Ultimo Guerrero and Hechicero to matches.

(At some point, I’ll write about the actual shows.)
