Panther/Averno title match set in GDL, Mistico/Negro official for next Sunday

CMLL (SUN) 08/23 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Flyer b Nocturno
2) Meteoro & Virgo b Saturno & Thunder Boy
3) Angel del Mal & Rafaga b Astaroth & Magnum
4) Hierro & Milenio b Acertijo & Novato [losers advance]
5) Hierro b Milenio [mask]
6) Black Warrior, Dragon Rojo Jr., Sangre Azteca b Máximo, Rouge, Valiente
7) Blue Panther, La Sombra, Volador Jr. b Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto

Panther got Averno clean with an armbar, and challenged him to a shot at the NWA Middleweight championship. That’ll happen next week (which means the card I had is changing.) Sangre pinned Valiente for the semimain win, and challenged him to a mask vs mask match. That won’t be happening next week.

In the mask match, Hierro beat Novato, but Acertijo saved his team by beating by Hierro and Milenio. Hierro beat Milenio in the final. Milenio is Alejandro Anguiano Vargas, from Guadalajara, 10 years a wrestler.

Sunday Coliseo DF update: CMLL now has the Mistico/Negro IWGP Junior Heavyweight title match as official for next Sunday. No one tell New Japan. Also, I didn’t pick this up until now, but the lineup no longer lists the Sunday shows as airing on Fox Sports, just the 52MX show. Looking back, there was no Fox Sports last week either, so this past weekend’s episode was probably the last.

Mistico/Negro will surely air on 52MX, if anyone gets it. (If ever was a time to start putting it in a podcast feed like Ras de Lona…) We’ll have to watch and see if this means 1/2 as many feuds/big matches on Sunday shows, since they have half as many hours to fill from them. Have to suspect that it’ll just be the top two matches from the show that airs from now on, instead of getting a segunda from this show or Friday.
