Kinda late. It’s nice to have a major show with announced matches, but it can make the cards leading up to it kinda less than newsworthy. It’s just lots of build with no one getting any edge for two more weeks.
Last week’s Arena Mex results
– Dr. X/Hooligan/Ramstein b Brazo de Oro Jr/Texano Jr./Neutron
– Misterioso II/Virus/Volador Jr vs Loco Max/Sangre Azteca
– Felino/Mistico/Zumbido d Mascara Magica/Okumura/Super Crazy
– Wagner Jr/Rey Bucanero/Tarzan Boy d Canek/Negro Casas/Ultimo Dragon
– Perro Aguayo Jr./Hector Garza/Ultimo Guerrero d Park/Sagrada/Rayo de Jalisco Jr
Park and Sagarda had nice looking split outfits. They’re brothers in identity lawsuits. Universo showed up post match to beat up Rayo.
KrisZ‘s report has the fans cheering for Magica and booing Zumbido in the middle match.
This week’s card
– Mr. Power, Brazo de Oro Jr., STARMAN vs Ramstein, Super Comando, Lobo Vikingo
– Volador Jr., Felino, Safari vs Sangre Azteca, Olimpico, Mephisto
– Zumbido vs Averno for the NWA World Middleweight Title
– Canek, Mascara Sagrada, Mr. Niebla vs Dr. Wagner, Pierroth, Vampiro
– Hijo Del Santo, LA Park, Shocker vs Hijo Del Perro, Rey Bucanero, Ultimo Guerrero
That’s the title Ultimo Dragon gave/sold back to CMLL in his stop in before going to the WWE. Odd pairing there, as these two really don’t have much of a feud and haven’t been doing anything in particular. Too bad they didn’t plan this out better and replace whoever’s going to lose with Misitco, because that’d be a nice reward.
If this was the US, I’d bet on Averno winning if there was even a hint he and Mep would face Atlantis and Panther again soon. DOUBLE GOLD. (Averno > Christian > Mephisto > Edge right now – I’m all about Averno when I get to see him use his finisher.)
Those are the Mexican Trios Champs in non-title action. That low on the card, I assume it’s more of the “Olimpico really hates all those guys he teamed with” stuff than another program being set up.
CMLL’s anniversary card site says Rayo vs Universo (dramatic music) WILL NEVER AIR ON TV. I’m cool with it if it means we get Ultimo/Park instead.
I do hope they tape it, though, and release it some other way – I’ve somehow talked myself into believing the historical important of the match makes it worth watching, and Rayo and Universo will try a bit harder because it’s such a big match. It’s a pretty good snow job.
