ESTO’s preview pushes the Ultimo/Wagner (first match back in Mexico) and Lizmark/Panther feuds in the main event.
Ovaciones focuses on the anniversary, getting quotes from Panico. He says CMLL always tries to gives surprises to the fans, and they think this cage match is just going to be great. Panico vows that this match will not resolve everything (well duh), and we’ll have a mask or hair match in December. Panico says this show could air on PPV, or it could not. Why did I even bother typing that?
Univsion gets quotes from cage match participants. Mistico vows not to leave the cage! Kinda.
Blue Panther tells ESTO he plans to learn many new holds from his friends so he’s better prepared for the cage match. In fact, he’s going to lock himself in the gym so he’s totally focused on preparing. Blue Panther is awesome. Panther likes the 8 man cage better than triangle match, because this way it won’t be 2 on 1.
Super Luchas has ticket prices for the show: front row is 1000 pesos ($90 US), cheap seats are 200 pesos ($18).

(RFC) La Fiera is in the hospital after his hair match versus Abismo earlier this week.
This time for sure: Incognito is working that CHIKARA cibernetico. Please don’t let there be a fake Incognito. He seems to work shows Sicodelico Jr., who works here at times, so that’s probably the deal. There’s still a mystery open spot on the lineup with rumors of being another luchador, but I haven’t heard names.
In California on Sunday, El Hijo del Santo will be honored by the Monterey Bay Aquarium for his work for ocean conservation. Meanwhile, El Diario published the usual: Santo expanding his business article, though they do drop his real name in this article.
Today in lucha libre history: Mr. Aguilta was born, Blue Panther successfully defended his mask, and Medico Asesino took the Mexican Heavyweight Championship from Jose Lothario, among other events.
Abismo and them fireballs, what was the story with La Fiera?
