Dragon Rojo wins Copa Jr., Hermano Muerte III loses his mask

CMLL (SAT) 12/25 Arena Mexico [CMLL, CesarSuperLuchas]
1) Horus & RobinBronco & Inquisidor
2) Pequeño Nitro, Pequeño Olímpico, Pequeño WarriorEléctrico, Fantasy, Shockercito
3) Hijo del Fantasma, Sagrado, Valiente DQ Ephesto, Mephisto, Sangre Azteca
4) Dragón Rojo Jr. DQ Averno [Copa Jr., final]
5) Blue Panther, La Máscara, MísticoAtlantis, Terrible, Texano Jr.

Sounds and looked like a good turnout for a holiday show.

Some changes in match order and participation here. Copa Junior was announced as the main event, but turned out to be the semimain. Main event was totally unnoteworthy – Mistica on Atlantis – so it didn’t need to the main event.

Maybe someone decided the finish to the tournament was too underwhelming to be the main event. It was certainly too underwhelming for the end of a twenty man tournament. It was three fall match with each taking an early fall. Finish saw the ref go down, Dragon Rojo foul Averno, the ref being distracted from the pin, Averno fouling Dragon Rojo, and the ref seeing that foul. Dragon was able to get pinfall wins over Mascara, Sombra and Volador, but not Averno in the final?

It’s very possible they’ll be back against each other next week, because CMLL’s announced Rey del Aires for next Saturday. It’s nice they remembered to run it for 2011, but we would not expect it to make TV anywhere (except maybe TFN a year or  two from now?)

Mephsito pulled off Fantasma’s mask for the DQ.

Warrior returned with facepaint to replace his mask.

Tirantes returned as referee on this show.

Hermano Muerte III/Black Terry Jr.

CMLL (SAT) 12/25 Arena Neza [Black Terry Jr.]
1) Pavor & Zeiya b Kiva & Leopardo Negro
2) Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro b Guerrero Negro, Mike Segura, Veneno
3) Hermano Muerte III L Dr. X, Cocolores, Puma King, Skándalo, Delta, Neza Kid, Nitro, Coco Blanco, Dralion, Starman, Tiger Kid, Carta Brava [cage, mask]
4) Averno & Místico b Dragón Rojo Jr. & Mephisto

Averno & Mephisto fought just like in the recent GDL match. Dragon Rojo celebrated his Copa win by losing to La Mistica.

Tiger turned on Puma in a cage match again. Maybe they’re just going to do that in every cage match. Final three were Cocolores, Dr. X, and Hermano Muerte III. Hermano Muerte II tried to stop Cocolores from leaving, but the Payaso eventually snuck by to escape. Hermano Muerte III was exhausted in his fight with D.r X, and fell to a nudo. Hermano Muerte III is Juan Cárdenas Romero, 15 years a wrestler, from DF.

Veneno turned on his teammates in the segunda.

  1. Do you believe in post-Christmas miracles?

    POLLO FTW ON BOXING DAY! Why? B/c Pollo > Chicho Che & Freelance!

  2. IWRG sure knows how to have a mask match that is intriguing. Pollo hasn’t been around long enough to win this match, but that gimmick is nothing without the mask. But would IWRG *really* sacrifice the massive buildup of Negro to fn Pollo?
    Stranger things have happened in IWRG.
    I smell an angle of some kind here…

  3. ECLL is a rerun. Or at least I know I’ve seen that promo before and that’s usually when I stop watching.
