Alebrije & Azteca worked as rudos in the match, but were no match for turtle power
3) Cerebro Negro b Dinamic Black
Negro won, so no title match for Dinamic Black.
4) Imposible © b Freelance [IWRG IC Light]
Imposible 13th defense. Money thrown in.
5) Fuerza Guerrera, Mr. Electro, Toscano b Damián 666, Danny Casas, Ultramán Jr.
Damian 666 replaced Hijo de Dos (which made it a team of Ultramen wiht Ultraman Jr.’s reutnr.) Mr. Electro challenged Danny to a hair match. Rudos toko 1/3. Mr. Electro feuded with Danny Casas and wanted a hair match.

Electroshock/Mr. Electro talked after the show. He seemed in full promo move, but did say he left AAA on bad terms and seemed to be upset about a lack of respect from AAA.

Tonight’s Arena Puebla show has a random main event, with Atlantis, Caristico, Negro Casas versus Masara Dorada, Maximo and Mephisto in a relevod increibles match. There’s no obvious match on opposite sides of this match, it’s more as if they’re just short a rudo and had to come up with something. If there’s a feud coming out of this, it seems most likely to be one of the two teams falling apart.

It’s an overall good looking show on paper. Dragon Lee, Titan and Valiente take on Euforia, Gran Guerrero and Niebla Roja. Fujin, Raijin & Okumura make an appearance against Esfinge, Guerrero Maya and Rey Cometa. Astral and Sauron meet in a lightning match, which seems like it’s going to set up a title match next week. The openers are Arkalis/Astro vs Malayo/Espacial and Oro/Sobreano vs Jaguar/Policeman.

The show will air at 9pm CT, on CMLL & YouTube as usual.

Random title match for a random Wednesday night.

There was a Geo in Promo Azteca (partner of Neo, who’s now Raizel), who largely disappeared or stopped using that name by 2000. Someone using that name has turned up in Mexico State since late last year, recently teaming with IWRG trainees Kanon and Vortize (so it’s probably actually a new guy.)
