I keep forgetting about this show, but since it’s only 3 days away, I think I should post it already.
FMLL (SUN) 05/20 Congress Theatre Lineup
4) Hijo de Rey Misterio, Rayo Lazer vs Lucifer, Aguila del America
5) Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Mascara Sagrada vs Angel Blanco Jr., Satanico
There’s a thread on the show at CPW.
$25 is crazy for this lineup – who’s supposed to be the draw here? $35 for ringside – that’s 377 pesos (more than they were charging for the anniversary show!) – has no chance. I like Satanico, I’ve seen Satanico, I’m seeing Satanico on TV every weekend once or twice it seems, I’m not paying $25 to see him when he’s the top guy I care about on the card.
I’m going to be in the city anyway at the Cubs/Sox game and could make it if this was something super. Rayo and Sagrada are quite the opposite.
Why is Rey Jr. on the poster? I guess it’s a little false advertising making people think they Rey Jr. is going to be there?
The way these luchadores are jacking up their prices, it’s going to be harder and harder for promoters to bring in a decent lineup anymore. Thus the lack of stars on the show.
That’s Hijo de Rey Misterio – Rey Misterio Sr.’s actual son – looking as close to Rey Jr. as they can get to. At least this time they have the “Hijo de” there, but they’d be fine if people were confused.
more than they were charging for the anniversary show!

You mean the congress theater anniversary show, right? They’re saying 35 for VIP locations… who knows what that might mean there, some places down here it means “all the beer you can drink”.
