04/23: Mistico moves one step closer to holding every belt in the world, Sewage Man news

Mistico pulled the ol’ “mask underneath my mask” trick on Black Warrior, so Mistico didn’t drop to cover his face and instead beat Warrior for the win. Mistico wants a shot at Warrior’s NWA Middleweight Championship, and that will indeed be the main event of next week’s Kids Day show. Perros will also be getting a title shot (two straight non-title wins over the champs), so the new card looks something like this:

CMLL (SUN) 04/29 Arena Mexico
1) Sombra de Plata & Super Nova vs Apocalipsis & Ramstein
2) Mini Olimpico, Shockercito, Tsuki vs Mini Damian 666, Mini Halloween, Mini Mr. Aguila
3) Dos Caras Jr., Heavy Metal, Mascara Sagrada vs Mascara 2000, Sangre Azteca, Universo 2000
4) Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila vs Maximo, Sagrado, Texano Jr. [MEX TRIOS]
5) Alex Koslov, Dr. Wagner Jr., Marco Corelone vs Atlantis, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero
6) Mistico vs Black Warrior [NWA MIDDLE]

Mistico’s going to be a four belt champion come Sunday, ain’t he? The odds are heavily stacked in his favor – they can’t have Mistico lose on Kids Day two years in a row, without running a major angle. He’d be champ of four different divisions – Welter, Super Welter (IWRG), Middle, Tag – so I don’t think they’re going to make my dreams come true and unify some of these belts (and knock ’em of existence).

Why not put every belt on Mistico? I’m all for it. The rudos will always be able to punk him out before matches, because how can you walk when carrying all those titles?

I was figuring no title change on this Mexican Trios program before we knew Mistico was in the main event. Since they can send the fans home happy with that, I’m leaning towards the Perros picking up the belts here (making Aguila a double trios champ.)

Magazines
Box Y Lucha 2815 wonders if Mistico will appear without his mask in his upcoming soap opera. (I’m gonna say NO)
Super Luchas #209 highlights the Hell Brothers and the newest Nuevos Infernales.

In San Diego, EarthFair 2007 festivites included lucha libre matches, including a match between Sewage Man and Agua Limpia. I don’t like the rudos chances on Kids Day, I don’t like Sewage Man’s chances on Earth Day.

IWRG’s site is still down.

  1. Is Mistico really that incredible? The Cubs Fan so totally Gushes everytime a Mistico story appears. The next El Santo? Blue Demon? I don’t think so. I think that Mexican promoters are learning that good old-fashioned American SPORTS HYPE.

  2. Yeah, Cubsfan is a total Mistico mark. I’m thinking of boycotting the site b/c of it.

  3. If you could point me to where I said he was the next Santo or the next Demon, I’d appreciate it.

    For my part, I’ll revisit my stance of looking at someone winning four belts as an awesome thing, next time it comes up.

  4. Perhaps Mexican Championship belts (and I am asking here) are more valuable and meaningful than their American counterparts? I mean American belts seem to be dispensed by promoters to hype the latest phenom and are sometimes held for only minutes Sooo belts big deal!

  5. excuse me if I misunderstood “comments” to mean free exchange of opinions. This is, after all, a FAN site. Not a forum .

  6. Nothing wrong with expressing an opinion… but when Cubs posts a news item and gives his two cents, dont leave a comment slamming the guy. He is entitled to leave his opinion – it is HIS BLOG. If youre going to leave snide remarks about Cubs opinion as if he were some kinda newbie and you are the expert, keep in mind he could probably spend his time on other things, and if he did, you wouldnt have a CMLL blog to read.
