06/20 news

LuchaInsider is DOWN. They were too far in the negative on points, I guess.

CMLL (FRI) 06/24 Arena Mexico Lineup [cmll]
1) Mini Pierroth & Fire vs Ultimo Dragoncito & Mini Olimpico
2) Safari, Virus, Misterioso II vs Nitro, Sangre Azteca, Dr. X
3) Dr. Wagner, Mistico, Ultimo Dragon vs Averno, Mephisto, Mascara Magica
Magica’s turned rudo for revenge on Mistico. It’s a ‘triple main event, any match could be last’ situation
3) Rayo de Jalisco Jr, Dos Caras Jr, Hijo de Lizmark vs Pierroth, Blue Demon, Hector Garza
3) LA Park, Bronco II, Elektro vs Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero, Rey Bucanero
Elektro you know – this is his CMLL redebut. Bronco’s not the Bronco who previously was in CMLL. CMLL says he’s from Monterrey, with 10 years of experience and was trained by Chucho Villa. The assumption is Silver King finally had to drop the Black Tiger identity – at least in CMLl, since they don’t want problems with NJPW – and decided to just change masks.

1) Shockercito & Bracito de Oro vs Gitanito & Sombrita
2) StarMAN, Brazo de Plata Jr., Ultimo Vampiro vs Guerrero del Futuro, Ramstein, Reyes Veloz

Alan’s listed, but he’s long gone. Makes you realize how far advance these things are done sometimes.

5) Mascara Sagrada, Matrix, Black Dragon vs Black Tiger, Pantera, Enfermero Jr.

Super Lucha’s cover is of course, Mascara Magica’s bald head. Does “Octagon tiene mal de Parkinson” mean what I think it means?

Important Stat!: Don Poncho Penaloza, the offical barber of CMLL, says Mascara Magica was the 82nd head he’s shaved.
