Felino vs Cavernario tonight, Torneo Increible de Parajeas Block A

tonight

Felino and Cavernario have their first ever singles match tonight in Arena Mexico. It’s the culmination of a short feud over the future (or end) of Pesta Negra following Mr. Niebla’s death. This appears to be a reworking of the Felino/Angel de Oro feud and the new planned main event for Homenaje a Dos Leyendas. Felino figured to work tonight, though the bigger test if convincing people this is a big match for six weeks (or so) from now.

The rest of the show seems like marking time prior to the start of the incredible pairs tournament next week. NGD’s latest main event is against the combination of Caristico, Volador, and Valiente. Diamante Azul & Gilbert face off in a trios match before teaming next week in the tournament, with the Chavez Brothers, Negro Casas, and Euforia. Polvora, Okumura and Tiger face Atlantis Jr., Guerrero Maya Jr., and Flyer in the third match.

Tsuskushi makes her CMLL debut teaming with Marcela and Princesa Sugehit against Dalys, Reyna Isis and Metalica. Tusskushi is only around two weeks, which would make it hard to get to a title match. The minis open up with Shockercito & Ultimo Dragoncito against Pierrothito & Pequeno Nitro.

The show streams at 8:30 pm. I’ll stream it as well.

Lucha Central has a preview of the show.

CMLL Torneo Increible de Parajeas teams

  • Bandido & Ultimo Guerrero
  • Diamante Azul & Gilbert el Boricua
  • Dulce Gardenia & Okumura
  • Caristico & Forastero
  • Angel de Oro & Felino
  • Flyer & Hechicero
  • Guerrero Maya & Universo 2000 Jr.
  • Titan & Mephisto

This appears to be the full block A of the tournament. Caristico/Forastero is the favorite. Bandido & Ultimo Guerrero can’t advance because he’s wrestling on 02/28 in Ring of Honor. CMLL teases doing things with Diamante Azul & Gilbert often but actually does them very rarely. Titan did win last year but Mephisto is a downgrade from Cavernario.

Cibernetico posted a video talking about how AAA should continue supporting La Parka’s family for all he gave to AAA. Cibernetico says La Parka has 13 kids. That’s a lot of kids.

MLW announced Hijo del Vikingo on for the AAA/EMW/MLW show on 03/13 in Tijuana.

Peridco Central interviews Tiger Rojo and Perverso.

Titan talks about the story behind the scar.

DTU posted their schedule thru April.

The boxing and lucha libre commissioner for Tepic says luchadors over 40 years old will not be permitted to wrestle there unless they pass a medical test. They don’t want a death in the ring.
