11/22 news

Ovaciones today covered “next Friday”‘s card. Which, oddly enough, is not next Friday’s card.

CMLL (FRI) 11/25 Arena Mexico Lineup [ova]
1) Leono & Valiente vs Super Comando & Artillero
2) Volador Jr., Virus, Sagrado vs Sangre Azteca, Hombre Sin Nombre, Misterioso II
3) Mr. Niebla, La Mascara, Black Warrior vs Rey Bucanero, Tarzan Boy, Olimpico
4) Universo 2000, Mascara Ano 2000, Pierroth vs Hector Garza, Perro Aguayo Jr., Halloween
5) Heavy Metal, Blue Panther, Negro Casas vs Averno, Mephisto, Atlantis
6) Ultimo Guerrero vs el Hijo del Santo

The first three matches and much of the fourth match are matches from this week’s lineup, so I believe they’ve actually just shuffled things for this Friday. This lineup leaves Negro Casas, Blue Panther, Atlantis, Averno and Mephisto out in the cold, and so I wonder if there’s another trios match I’m missing here. CMLL.com doesn’t mention any of this, and still has the original lineup.

Not only is Ultimo vs Santo far more interesting than Halloween vs Universo, but something’s odd about them being ahead of that match again if that’s supposed to be a big match. Neither Ultimo or Santo were booked for 12/02, so they could be doing a quick build to a title match there (both have one), or something later in the month since they’re now running two more Fridays.

3) Mistico, Negro Casas, La Mascara vs Perro Aguayo Jr., Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero
4) Emilio Charles Jr. vs Satanico [hair/hair]

Amapola and Marcela are headed to Japan to work for Michinoku Pro for two weeks. (So I guess they’re off the 12/02 show? Is there someone who covers MPro?) Tzuki and Bracito de Oro are headed, uh, somewhere, till the end of the month. The wording wasn’t too clear.

Atlantis met with the female soccer player who wore his mask after scoring a goal last Friday, so I assume that’ll make TV.
