01/27: Neza, Shadow, Accion

CMLL (SAT) 01/26 Arena Neza [heri999]
1) Bengala & Damian el Inmortal b Estruendo & Flecha
2) Principe Mexiquense, Sensei, Starman b Emperador, Ramstein, Zayco
3) Luna Magica, Marcela, Princesa Blanca b Amapola, La Nazi, Medussa
4) Disturbio, Ephesto, Misterioso II b Felino, Leono, Valiente
5) Atlantis & Místico b Rey Bucanero & Último Guerrero [ri]

Atlantis & Mistico won clean in the third fall. Atlantis played tecnico all match long. AFter the match, he declared he’d say with Rey and Ultimo, but not everyone there seemed sure of it. Leono replaced Maximo and wandered directly into a hair match. Unsurprisingly, Disturbio got moved to the semi-main just to take a hair loss, and it’ll go down next Thursday. (Couldn’t they have given it to Valiente instead?)

CMLL’s notes say Grey Shadow is a high flier from the United States with a latino hertitage. On a completely different note, anyone seen Mascara Purpura lately? Actually, there’s a post on box y lucha suggesting it’s someone from the Inoki LA Dojo. I’m not sure what to believe on this, but I’m attempting to stay optimistic. That’s a very sweet spot debut spot, and I’m hoping they didn’t waste it.

Ovaciones talks about the history of the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship, noting it’s back in CMLL hands for the first time since the 1992 split (and how Mistico is way out of the weight class.)

Accion:

CMLL: main event trios match, with the Guerreros dominating the highlights and Mistico only appearing for a dive (with boos). Guerreros did have their feet on the ropes for the powerbomb finish.

AAA: Minis match, oddly. Octagoncito hit his shins hards on the barricade on a dive. The finish of Mini Abismo Negro’s powerbomb being reversed into Mini Charly Manson faceslam didn’t look good, but the self mask yank went okay.

DeporTV had no lucha highlights.

Arturo Rivera‘s column is another one that only works if you know what he’s responding to in the first place. I have no idea what El Hijo del Santo said or wrote this time, but apparently Rivera is all over it. Santo must’ve criticized men vs women in matches, stripper wrestlers, extreme matches and out of shape wrestlers. I think Rivera makes a sound case for guys with gimmicks aimed to draw women (they work), but not so much on some of the other points.

Averno & Mephisto claim they’re the team to beat this Friday.

    The segunda @ Arena Mexico on that same show?

  2. Could be a swerve! Maybe they re-gimmick Sombra under the Purpura hood and Purpura is gonna be Grey Shadow since you can’t have a La Sombra who wears grey and Grey Shadow on the same roster.

  3. according to luchawiki, the first Grey Shadow was Daniel Aldana, who’s deceased. this could be a relative of his.
