CMLL has a press conference at noon today. I’ll cover it an separate post later today.
CMLL (TUE) 04/17/2018 Arena México [CMLL, Lucha Central]
1) Acero & Aéreo b Angelito & Pequeño Universo 2000 
Angelito replaced Pequeno Violencia.
2) Cancerbero, Metálico, Raziel b Eléctrico, Magnus, Robin
Rudos took 1/3.
3) Audaz, Star Jr., Súper Astro Jr. DQ Disturbio, Universo 2000 Jr., Virus
straight falls, Virus DQed for removing Audaz’ mask.
4) Drone, Esfinge, Tritón b Kawato San, Okumura, Sagrado
Tecnicos took 1/3. Esfinge needed medical help after Kawato failed to catch him on a dive for the second straight match.
5) Magia Blanca b Flyer [torneo nuevo valores, final]
Magia Blanca took 1/3.
6) Carístico, Dragón Lee, Rush b Euforia, Gran Guerrero, Rey Bucanero
Rush replaced Soberano earlier in the day. Tecnicos took 1/3.
There’s post match interviews from Metalico, Super Astro Jr., fish Triton, Magia Blanca, Dragon Lee & Rush and Carsitico. Something tells me that Caristico is going to be doing a lot of these.
Blanca/Flyer seemed OK. Maybe good. Flyer struggled with springboards but didn’t derail him. Magia Blanca doing the Ultimo Dragon taunt into the finish was not something I’m a fan of. I don’t mind the finish, but one guy getting people to do something obviously ill considered to set up their finish is already about one too many, I don’t want a whole training class of guys doing the same.
They’ve got to move Kawato down to the no-dive matches if he’s not going to catch the dives.
CMLL (TUE) 04/17/2018 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [@Arena_GDL]
1) Bengala, Pantera Blanca, Star Black b Gemelo Pantera I, Gemelo Pantera II, Príncipe Odín Jr.

Rudos took 1/3, setting up a Mercurio/Shockercito title match next week.
3) Blue Panther, Blue Panther Jr., The Panther b Dragón Rojo Jr., Hechicero, Pólvora
Blue Panther replaced Guerrero Maya. Panthers took 1/3.
4) Ángel de Oro, Diamante Azul, Niebla Roja b Ephesto, Luciferno, Mephisto
tecnicos took 1/3.
5) Valiente & Volador Jr. © b Cavernario & Negro Casas [CMLL TAG]
Tecnicos took 2/3 to keep the tag titles. First defense. Money thrown in.
Main event sounds like it went well. Shockcercito/Mercurio could be a good match if Mercurio tries.
Microman is interviewed with El Grafico. Microman says he was surprised the first time a kid wanted his autograph, and he plans to resume his computer programming education soon so he has something to fall back on.
Lucha Memes announced they’d be working with Mike Quackenbush and his Chikara promotion in the future. No details have been announced. It’s billed as Quackenbush’s coming to Mexico for the first time, which is not actually the case but 13 years is a long time. CHIKARA wrestlers had worked ChilangaMask shows years ago to mixed results. Chuck Taylor’s promo about the Coacalco dog was really the high point.
As an aside, CHIKARA has a website where you watch every match they have ever run thru a streaming site for a monthly fee. LuchaMemes has a situation where sometimes I beg on Twitter to get matches posted and most of them sit unseen on a hard drive where no one can watch them until the end of time. It’s nearly the same thing.
Alberto hosted a charity soccer game yesterday for his foundation. They lost track of the score. Alberto told the press that he’s retiring in 2019 because he doesn’t like wrestling as it is these days and prefers doing something else instead of changing it.
Blue Demon Jr. was wrestling in Costa Rica over the weekend, wrestling and visiting children in the hospital.
La Voz has an interview Coahuila luchadors Hijo de Centurion Negro.
