title change

on 10/13, at the usual Arena Coliseo show, Universo 2000 beat Mr. Niebla to win back the CMLL Heavyweight Title. This is Universo’s third title reign.

Niebla won the title from Universo back on 04/18, and outside of building to a quick rematch and scattered one off defenses, nothing much was done with the title. They appeared to be building to a Vampiro/Niebla match for quite some time during Vampiro’s injury – the current television reflects this – but it never seemed to happen when Vampiro returned.

This is a far a shorter title reign than previous ones. Wild guess is Universo getting it back might have something to do with him losing the mask.

Recap #152

My plan was to have new episodes up on Monday night/Tuesday from Saturday on out. So, this is up on Wednesday. Still need to get the kinks out.

Anyway, as two matches existing solely to build to other matches, this was a perfectly acceptable show. The Santo/Agauyo trios match was better, but duh.

I really dug the comeback tease in the second match, and wish the internal match structure wouldn’t always be as straightforward as it usually is.
