Said to be outstanding, the best match in Monterrey in a while.
Everyone’s raving about the main event. It may air next week on Noches de Coliseo; you never know with that show. (They were actually advertising this show on Saturday’s airing, which I can’t recall them doing prior.) This was Negro Casas’ first match in the building in three years, attendance looked strong, and he was still signing autographs many minutes after the match.
Caifan needed stitches after his match with Pagano.

6) Máscara Año 2000 Jr. b Trauma I © [IWRG IC HEAVY]
Trauma I falls on his first defense when he suffered a rib injury in the middle fall (and may have came into the match hurt.) Canis Lupus hit the ring to bemoan Trauma I losing the title before he could win it, but still challenged him to a mask match and Mascara to a title match on Wednesday.
Matches 3/4/5 all got money thrown in (which may mean the few IWRG fans just really like IWRG.) Main event sounds like it didn’t go far, but it’s tough to tell.
Cara Lucha linked to the complete Satanico versus Ultimo Guerrero match from Saturday night. Ultimo says he’d like to face Satanico again in Arena Mexico.
Tonight’s Puebla show has Rush taking on Ultimo Guerrero, after they’ve feuded the last couple weeks in Arena Mexico. Ultimo Guerrero leads their all time (non-tournament) series at 3-2, but both Rush’s wins have come in this building. They’ve split the lead up trios, and the outcome could go either way. Rush might be the type of guy to break Ultimo Guerrero out of his usual routine (which might also be tough for him to do with Lashley on Wednesday. It’s a busy week for UG.)
The rest of the show includes both Mistico & Caristico and Cibernetico & Mephisto teaming up in the main event, days before they face they have different partners in the Arena Mexico main event anniversary show. Atlantis & La Mascara round out the trios. The tercera is an unusual Peste Negra/TRV rudo versus rudos match. Asturiano, Meyer, Fuerza Chicana, King Jaguar and Policeman are the locals on the card.
The show starts at the usual 9pm and will air on YouTube.
Fight Network has a story up about carrying CMLL – the Thursday night slot is the usual slot. There’s really no other info, including no mention of announcers, which makes think they may just be running the same tapes as in Mexico with no English announcers.
Dragon Lee says he has a strained knee ligament. As of this point, he hasn’t been taken out of any matches.
The founder of Arena Olimpico Laguna passed away a few days ago. They shows appear to continuing, as they’re back as scheduled Thursday.
Wendy, a former CMLL and AAA luchadora in the early 90s, will have a retirement show in Mission, Texas on Thursday. She’s been wrestling in the area the last year at least.
