CMLL (FRI) 11/02 Arena Mexico
1) Fabian el Gitano & Leono vs Euforia & Nosferatu
2) Maximo, Sagrado, Ultimo Dragon vs Averno, Mephisto, Samurai Shiro
3) Rey Bucanero, Shocker, Sombra vs Black Warrior, Hijo de Lizmark, Tozcano
4) Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone vs Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mr. Aguila, Terrible
5) Mistico & Negro Casas vs Atlantis & Ultimo Guerrero [CMLL TAG]
Main event could be really good, or they could do two falls in three minutes and an 8 minute final fall that’s all “move pause move”. At least it has a chance to be really good, more than you can say for most.
Are they going anywhere with Dos/Perro? We’ll see tonight.
I hope Satanico has set his men for Destroy in the opener. If ever I could get a two fall squash, that’s the one I want.
Tonight’s show offers free tickets to any child who comes in costume (with an adult ticket). They’re also planning a tribute to Huracan Ramirez
Ovaciones previews the show with a profile of Black Warrior. He’s still looking for revenge over Mistico and wants Blue Panther’s mask. ESTO works today’s holiday into a death/rebirth theme with Black Warrior, speaking more about his departure and return from CMLL this year than his mask loss. Warrior is not very clear about what happened, but he is verya apologetic that it happened. I like the final line the best: “On this Day of the Dead, Black Warrior recalls his father, dedicating the match and offering a beer, which he liked a lot.”
Notimex has Mistico vowing he’ll leave his life in the ring to defend the titles. That’s a lot for the tag team titles.
ESTO notes this is Lizmark Jr.‘s first match in Arena Mexico since losing his mask, due to his broken nose. The injury took out whatever steam there was in Lizmark losing his mask.
CMLL wrestlers (and Park and Wagner) who aren’t working Arena Mexico are working Arena Xalapa tonight. Mistico and Perro are due there on 11/23, but the big news is the rudos in the segunda are listed as having “cancer, AIDS, and Ebola – but the doctors say they’re in very very good health.” I think they need a new doctor!
IWRG (THU) 11/01 Arena Naucalpan [Mr. Reyes @ Satanico’s Mansion representing the gladiatores, superluchas]
1) Judas el Traidor, Puma King, Rockero del Diablo b Tortuguillo Ninja I, Tortuguillo Ninja II, Tortuguillo Ninja III
2) Oficial 911 & Yamato b Cyborg & Xibalva
3) Fantasma de la Opera b Cerebro Negro, Black Terry [IWRG IC WELTER]
4) Negro Casas b Villano III [IWRG IC MIDDLE]
5) Enterrador 2000 L Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Villano IV, Enfermero Jr., Bogeman, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Captian Muerte, Coco Verde, Sepitembre Negro II, Oficial Fiero [cage, mask]
Enterrado 2000 is Irison Mora Arias (Toro Irisson), 22 years in wrestling, originally from Juarez. Rayo de Jalisco Jr. is saying he’s won 49 masks, and Santo could be 50. Keep on dreaming. Order of escape is Fiero, Capitan Muerte, Bogmean, Coco Verde, Septiembre Negro II, Enfermero Jr., Villano IV, and Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. MY2K Jr. returned (to attack Rayo) and both left at about the same time.
Negro Casas will indeed have a second belt tonight, though the finish had some controversy; V3 got his shoulder up visibly, but was counted down for three. They agreed to a rematch. Superluchas was surprised and disappointed with the length of the first two falls.
Cerebro Negro had Black Terry pinned for the first elimination of the triangle match, but he did it via low blow. Referee noticed, and Terry got a win. Match got worse with no Black Terry, though he came back to save Fantasma from being pinned. Terry wants the mask himself, so he attacked Cerebro Negro and Fantasma beat him for the belt.
Full house for the show.
ESTO also says the Navarro Brothers VIP show tommorow has been canceled. No reason given, though there are forum posts where the Navarro Brothers pass off the blame, saying they sold this show to another promoter.

Crowd was 75% full. Lots of referee intervention in the main event. Averno yanked Mistico’s mask and covered him, but got caught after the fact. Hooligan replaced Skandalo.
Noticias Oaxaca writes about new local wrestler Mini Vuelo Espacial, who was presented at last week’s CMLL show and will debut next month.
In an “unexpected” twist of fate, it now seems CMLL TV has 1 hour for tomorrow’s show…
In most exchanges that I’ve seen between Perro Jr., and Dos Jr., Perro sold like a pip squeek who was not meant to be taken seriously. I’m hoping for Dos Jr. vs Terrible for the Heavyweight title by the end of the year though it won’t draw.
If Mistico busts out his Super Welterweight Title, he and Negro will have quite the entrance tonight. I wanna see a photo of them together with all their belts. (6, right?)
Don’t forget, Mexico changed the clock last week, so results will be available at a later hour here in the States. I’m going to try to listen on Grupo W tonight b/c I got nothing better to do. With Mistico and Perro Jr., and everyone off from work today, they better get a good gate.
CMLL did an ok rating on Saturday on FSE. I wish they would keep CMLL in that slot, because 1pm is the first hour after infomercials, so the show would get bumped much less often. When they can get 30,000 homes, that’s a good rating for them. I wish FSE would not renew, so CMLL could go for a better deal with TuVision, AztecaAmerica, or one of those stations that people watch.
Castillo del Terror is starting right now on tvc…
