CMLL (TUE) 01/04 Arena Mexico [CMLL]
1) Astro Boy & Höruz b Apocalipsis & Semental
2) Arkángel de la Muerte, Bobby Zavala, Skándalo b Dragon Lee, Fabián el Gitano, Starman
3) Amapola, Princesa Blanca, Zeuxis b Goya Kong, Lluvia, Marcela
4) Ángel de Oro, Metro, Sagrado b Misterioso II, Pólvora, Sangre Azteca
5) El Alebrije, Olímpico, Psicosis b La Máscara, Máximo, Místico
Psicosis got away with a foul on La Mascara to win the main event, relieved La Mascara of his mask after the match, then challenged him to a title match.
Back to normal for Sangre Azteca: he accidentally leveled Polvora with a clothesline, and both Misterioso and Polvora turned on him. Straight fall loss.
Rudas won their match clean. They’ve been pretty dominate lately.
I would’ve bet Rush’s brother would beat the Arkangel trainee in their debut. I would’ve bet wrong!
CMLL (TUE) 01/04 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [CMLL]
1) Thunder Boy b Templario
2) Exterminador & Malefico b Magnum & Metatrón
3) Aereo, Pequeño Halcón, Último Dragoncito b Mercurio, Pequeño Olímpico, Pequeño Universo 2000
4) Shigeo Okumura, Vangelis, Yoshihashi b Delta, Fuego, Stuka Jr.
5) Felino, Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero b Blue Panther, Rotoporky, Toscano
Rey Bucanero beat Porky with a suplex. CMLL reports the crowd was too shocked to react. Crowd doesn’t appear to be a sellout, by the way.
Fabiruchis made another appearance before the semimain, but Pato Soria ran him off. Okumura beat Stuka with a reverse DDT to win. This appears to be the first time Yoshihashi has won a match since November 8th!
Metatron replaced the double booked Horus.
Mascara Sagrada Jr., who lost his mask as Mascara Jr. just six weeks ago, was back in the same outfit and mask on a Martha Villalobos show.

Will Mascara be the guy to take Psicosis mask? Mascara was one of the guys that was there the when the Invasors first appeared and wrestled them in thier first CMLL match so it’s fitting but I was thinking they were going with Mistico.
Mistico, for whatever reason, is in CMLL’s doghouse. What CMLL has done the last year is somewhat of a “chicken or egg” scenario: Is CMLL bringing other young stars to the top level because they have soured on Mistico, or has Mistico become upset with CMLL over them pushing other young tecnicos into his spot?
Regardless, CMLL has somewhat pushed the “big three” young tecnicos (Sombra, Dorada, Volador) with different things. Sombra is getting the mask wins. Dorada is getting championships. Volador is getting the flip to the rudo side and wins over Mistico.
Mascara has been the quite mechanic working his ass off in the top of the card, but not quite getting the big push to put him over the top. I think we can all agree that Psicosis’ mask is the “crown jewel” of the Invasors, and that it is going to be a big win for someone. I think early they were hoping for Fantasma, but it looks like they have kinda settled in on Mascara. Good for him, I think he deserves it. Maybe Fatasma will end up with Histeria’s mask…
@Nikita: I have a feeling that if Fantasma wins a mask this year, it will be Mephisto’s.
@Calabcd44: Boy, I hope not. I love that mask. Plus, Mephisto seems like the type of guy that should have that mask for a good long while, and then lose it on a big stage. Kinda like a Felino…
@Nikita: it looks like they’re headed that way for the march show
