Today’s CMLL show features the two major feuds CMLL’s been teasing towards Homenaje a Dos Leyendas. Volador Jr. and Negro Casas meet in the main event, in a rematch from last week. Volador teams with Mascara Dorada & Mistico again while Casas teams with Barbaro Cavernario & Mephisto. The Thunder/Ultimo Guerrero emerges again in the semifinal, with Rush, Marco, Cibernetico and Mr. Niebla drafted in as as partners. CMLL’s next major show is about a month away and it’s possible one of those feuds might be more clearly set for that show.
Kamaitachi and Dragon Lee meet again in the tercera, teaming with Guerrero Maya, La Mascara, Hechicero and Bobby Z. Those two could also meet in Dos Leyendas, though it’s probably more dependent on what room is left on the card. (Dragon Lee’s been in Los Angeles this week, diving off balconies, as part of the well attended Lucha Va Voom shows.) The second match looks pretty good – Triton, Fuego, the Panther versus Puma, Tiger, and Virus – and means Negro’s sobrinos will definitely be around to help out their tio in the main event. CMLL’s preview plays up the idea Volador may have a surprise of his own.
The show starts at 8:30pm and will air as usual on ClaroSports.com.
Saturday’s Arena Coliseo show is canceled. Mexico City is closing some roads due to the Pope coming to town, and those closures make getting to the building too hard to run the show. CMLL says this will not affect the Friday or Sunday shows at Arena Mexico.
El Sol de Mexico caught up with Raijin, Fujin and Okumura, who explained their goal is to dominate as a trio and win the championship. Okumura asked Raijin and Fujin about Mexican women. Fujin said he needs to learn Spanish to get closer to them, while Raijin said he already had his eye on a couple of women and is going to get his Mexican friends to help him learn enough Spanish to talk to them.
Many AAA wrestlers are in Tijuana tonight for The Crash. Main event is Blue Demon, Fenix, Rey Horuz vs John Morrison, Pentagon Jr. and Teddy Hart, which is a match where Blue Demon sticks out like a sore thumb.
In an AAA interview, Joe Lider actually says it was his mistake Pentagon & he lost the tag title match, but hopes they can work things out.

Black Fire gets a shot at the DTU Alto Impacto championship on 02/20 in Bielfield, Germany. The Black Fire in WXW matches are going to be interesting because he hasn’t really found a way to stand out in a big way in DTU, but has a chance to do that on another continent.
Humo announced Marcela versus Ayako Hamada for their 02/28 show.
WWC announced Konnan will second Hijo de Dos Caras for his match against Ray Gonzalez on 02/27. That’s the Rey Mysterio vs Mr. 450 headlined show, so it’s no surprise Konnan’s on that card and it’s a good use of him.
