CMLL (FRI) 03/11/2011 Arena Mexico [Record (4), Cesar, SuperLuchas, Estrellas del Ring]
1) Bengala & Molotov b Disturbio & Semental
Semental accidentally dropkicking Disturbio led to the loss.
2) Bronco, Escorpion, Hooligan b Fabián el Gitano, Metálico, Sensei
Escorpion powerbombed Sensei for the deciding pin.
3) Ángel de Oro, Delta, Sangre Azteca vs Ephesto, Misterioso Jr., Pólvora
4) Virus b Demus 3:16 [hair]
Virus withstands everything Demus has to beat him. Good match, though the Friday crowd wasn’t as much into it because it had been built on Tuesdays.
5) Atlantis, Dragón Rojo Jr., Volador Jr. b Rush, Toscano, Valiente
Atlantis ‘rana on Toscano.
6) La Sombra, Máscara Dorada, Super Porky b Averno, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas
Straight falls. Averno DQed in the first for unmasking Dorada, Dorada cradles Averno for the second.
Ras de Lona had clips of Angel de Plata’s shooting star press injury. It was frightening – the rudos were standing in a reasonable spot, but Plata just out-leaped them and there was no way they could catch him. There was also an interview with Hiroka at her pet shop, picking Demus to win the hair match and saying she’d return soon. Both sides for Sunday’s veterans vs Gen2011 cibernetico were interviewed. There was talk about Angel Blanco, but no interviews with anyone in the top two matches at Dos Leyendas.
AAA says they’ll soon be starting a drive to bring more woman into their promotion. The impression I get is they’d like to have more Sexi Star’s, and would easily settle for more CMLL edecanes types. Related: Impacto interviews Lolita about starting in AAA.
Rey Misterio had an autograph signing and did some press. Most of it was Misterio saying Sin Cara is not coming to WWE to replace him, and he’s hoping this is the start of another wave of Mexican luchadors to come to the United States.
Black Terry Jr. has video of Sadico & los Traumas vs Puma King, Tiger Kid, and Halcon 78 Jr.: part 1, part 2, part 3.
LuchaWorld has last week’s Ras de Lona.

as mentioned by @conjuarez, CMLL has announced the Gran Alternativa will take place, starting March 25th. Last year’s tournament was a 3 week 16 team tournament where any early match luchador could compete. They’d cut it down to only first timers the last two years, and might go back that way this year with all the new Gen11 people
possible first timers
Apolo Estrada Jr. – hasn’t been around recently
Bobby Zavala
Cholo
Escorpion
Hijo del Signo
Semental
Mortiz
Yoshihashi
Dragon Lee
Enrique Vera Jr.
Guerrero Maya Jr.
Horuz
Hombre Bala Jr.
Magnus – the obvious favorite
Metal Blanco
Metatron
Palacio Negro
Bengala
Principe
Camaleon
Robin
Super Halcon Jr, if he can be found.
Camorra was in the 2009 tournament, but had recently talked about trying to be in this year’s tournament with Shocker. Shocker’s not expected back for a while longer.
There’s also people from GDL and Puebla who’d fit in.
CMLL TV is 3, 5 & 6 unfortunately. I’m pretty sure the goal here is to convince fans NOT to attend H2L next week.
Looks like LATV is a repeat.
LATV is a one hour rerun.
“Virus b Demus 3:16 [hair]
Virus withstands everything Demus has to beat him. Good match, though the Friday crowd wasn’t as much into it because it had been built on Tuesdays.” Curses wrong again! I blame THE HAT. on a more serious note, it’s shame we never got a Demus 3:16 vs Valiente feud while Demus was not a mini.
Another repeat of LATV on at 8 Est.
And now GDL is a repeat on the local feed. The hell is going on here?
Someone’s messing with us! I WANT MY FELINO’S KIDS VS PALACIO/METAL MATCH!
@Calabcd44: I hear you! errr, read you :D
@thecubsfan: Just to fix that list up – Guerrero Maya Jr. (w/ Valiente) and Semental (w/ Rey Bucanero) have already participated in the Gran Alternativa.
Hit send too early.
It’ll probably just be the Generacion 2011 guys and GDL guys as filler. Guessing: Zavala, Magnus, Dragon Lee, Signo Jr., Vera Jr., Bala Jr., Metal Blanco and Palacio Negro. Awful weak and should be horrible matches.:)
cmll galavision from earlier today is up extremely fast thanks to warriorsx2000

ACM has Hijo del Ninja, Máscara Púrpura, Silencio vs Antifaz del Norte, Dr. X, Loco Max from Sunday.
Sure felt like they were setting a Loco Max vs Mascara Purpura apuesta match here. May need to change my pick for Monday.
How the hell did he get a 58:00+ minute video on youtube?
Looks like the Lightning Match aired as well so top 4.
Did ACM air at 12:00 CT, instead of 12:30?
@Chris: Yea, ACM seems to have moved to 12:00, on TV.
Teleformula is a repeat! This is a good week for me to catch up on watching other things, I guess.
Last five minutes of Hermanos y Detectives on Galavision featured a heel Latin Lover. Why won’t he just turn heel in CMLL?
The ad that just ran on Televisa said “Ticketportal.com” even though Cubs pointed out that the mx was missing. And it said NOTHING about ordering on SKY.
@Rob:
Youtube’s time limit is now 4 hours.
more old CMLL on LATV, instead of the listed boxing.
Less than a week to go and no information for those who want to order the Rey de Reyes PPV in Sky México.
Normally WWE events are announced and available to be ordered in the Sky suscribers internet page well ahead of time. No such luck for AAA.
@conjuarez: AAA said that you can start ordering today, so I assume that means after the start of the business day.
@LLL: Not available yet, perhaps later in the day…
@Rob: “Just to fix that list up – Guerrero Maya Jr. (w/ Valiente) and Semental (w/ Rey Bucanero) have already participated in the Gran Alternativa.”
Yes, I still remeber the Valiente Gran Alternativa / King of Trios (Chikara) weekend :(
