1) Pegazuz & Príncipe Mexica b Dragón Force & Ironía
2) Felina Metálica & Keira b Diosa Atenea & Lady Maravilla
Felina appeared hurt despite the win.
3) Sensei, Shibata, Yakuza b Kilvan, Shadow, Yoruba and Dante, Euro, Filder
4) Sádico b Flamita, Toxin, Mike Segura, Impulso Flamita vs Sadico vs Toxin vs Impulso vs Mike Segura | AULL | 27-08-16 (posted by TVLuchaMundial)
Sadico beat Flamita, setting up another round of challenges between the two. Money thrown in. Match was good, very good with the last two. Flamita’s right arm appeared to still be hurt.
5) Caifan, Dr. Cerebro, Virus b Negro Navarro, Trauma I, Trauma II Virus, Caifan y Dr. Cerebro vs Negro Navarro, Trauma I y Trauma II | AULL | 27-08-16 (posted by TVLuchaMundial)
6) LA Park & Rey Hechicero b Pierroth & Rush

The building looks about 70% full during the main event. This was Flamita’s second match of the night; he had a well regraded match with Freelance at Gimnasio Hercules as a surprise luchador. (It’s the one time where the surprise luchador turned out to be good; he probably wasn’t listed because they weren’t sure of his schedule.) He and Sadico is the Arena Lopez Mateos dream match that never seems to happen.

CMLL (SUN) 08/28/2016 Arena México [CMLL]
1) Canelo Casas & Espanto Jr. b Bengala & Robin
2) Hombre Bala Jr., Oro Jr., Star Jr. b El Cuatrero, Sansón, Skándalo
Tecnicos took 1/3.
3) Puma, Tiger, Virus DQ Blue Panther, Guerrero Maya Jr., Rey Cometa
Straight falls? Tecnicos took first, Virus fouled Blue Panther in the last fall.
4) Dragón Lee, Valiente, Volador Jr. b Euforia, Negro Casas, Último Guerrero
tecnicos took 2/3.
5) Máximo Sexy b Mr. Niebla
Maximo took 2/3.
6) Ephesto, Luciferno, Mephisto © b Ángel de Oro, Atlantis, Stuka Jr. [MEX TRIOS]
Rudos took 2/3 to retain. 6th defense

I used that photo up top because it occurred to me that Fantasma & Rambo probably had a discussion about which shows they were going to last night. Rambo almost always goes to CMLL shows and Fantasma is almost always the commission rep at AAA shows, so it probably wasn’t a long discussion, but Rambo appears to be having a much better time than Fantasma did. Fantasma seemed to be hating life when they’d pan to him.

Rambo probably has a lot more space to himself though. Sunday crowd looked nothing special, maybe down a bit from normal. CMLL simply doesn’t have the big of draws that they can throw out A-/B+ lineups in Arena Mexico on no notice and expect a surge of people to show up, especially against a show like TripleMania. Even Maximo/Niebla, which would’ve been a big deal at one point, didn’t seem to mean much now.

Blue Panther/Virus doesn’t seem to go anyway; Virus faces the sons next week.

No Saturday CMLL show. Barbie Juarez lost her boxing match.

Lucha Memes Chairo 5 on 09/25 in Arena Naucalpan.
1: Volador Jr. vs Rey Horuz
2: a Lucha Memes vs IWRG Torneo FILL (8v8 cibernetico).

This week’s AAA TV is up.

Lector 24 talks to Billy Boy about his career at this moment.

LuchaWorld has Sunday’s news update.

Cross Armbreaker reviews Super Porky vs Gran Markus Jr.

Arkangel is teaching a lucha libre seminar in Puerto Rico on 09/15.

Chik Tormenta will wrestle on the 09/25 Diamond Stars show in Tokyo’s Shinkiba 1st Ring, facing Heidi Katrina for the vacant CMLL-REINA Internacional championship. This is the title Narimiya held, not the one Silueta holds, and I’m mildly surprised it exists. I didn’t know Diamond Stars existed before this; this is their first show.

Lineups

CMLL (SAT) 09/03/2016 Arena Coliseo
1) Aéreo & Fantasy vs Pequeño Olímpico & Pequeño Violencia
2) Leono, Magnus, Sensei vs Canelo Casas, Hijo del Signo, Metálico
3) Soberano Jr., Starman, Stigma vs Arkángel de la Muerte, Disturbio, Nitro
4) Guerrero Maya Jr., Johnny Idol, Titán vs Euforia, Gran Guerrero, Niebla Roja
5) Ángel de Oro, Dragón Lee, Máximo Sexy vs Mr. Niebla, Rey Bucanero, Terrible

Main event would be (in theory) Dragon Lee’s first unmasked match. Semimain should be pretty fun.

CMLL (SUN) 09/04/2016 Arena México
1) Magnus & Starman vs Cancerbero & Raziel
2) Blue Panther Jr., Súper Halcón Jr., The Panther vs Puma, Tiger, Virus
3) Fuego, Rey Cometa, Titán vs Dragón Rojo Jr., Olímpico, Pólvora
4) Guerrero Maya Jr., Stuka Jr., Valiente vs Bobby Z, Gran Guerrero, Kráneo
5) Atlantis, Mistico, Volador Jr. vs Euforia, Terrible, Último Guerrero

There’s no big match on this show, but they’ve got three usual midcard matches and a usual second match in the opener, so this is CMLL trying hard on Sundays. Maybe they’re hoping people stick around all weekend? I’m not really sure.

CMLL (SUN) 09/04/2016 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Avispón Negro Jr. vs Quca
2) Capitán Cobra & Fugaz vs Diplomático & Guerrero de la Muerte
3) Explosivo, Randy, Reycko vs Exterminador, Gran Kenut, Mr. Apolo
4) Frezzer & Nautilius vs Joker & Sádico
5) Mágico, Neutrón, Omar Brunetti vs Maléfico, Mr. Trueno, Rey Trueno

Omar (should be tecnico green and) hasn’t been around since May. Maybe an injury?

The four guys in the semimain were in the main event this past week, so something’s being set up.

MDA (SUN) 09/18/2016 Arena Coliseo Monterrey
1) Babe Fox & the Tiger (Tamaulipas) vs Jesse & Psicótico
2) Quinto Elemento & Última Sombra vs Alberto Dos Rios & Gemelo Muerte
3) Delta & Laredo Kid vs Galactar & Pierroth
4) Antifaz, Caifan, La Máscara vs Dragón Lee II, Mistico II, Rush
5) Atlantis & Rayo de Jalisco Jr. vs Máscara Sagrada & Octagón

This came out last week but I didn’t include it. Atlantis will look very young in the main event. The La Mascara/Dragon Lee rematches will last for quite some time. Putting Pierroth in that match with Delta & Laredo Kid is a bad sign on your programming prowess.
