6) Místico vs Negro Casas [mask, hair]

Probably more when I have a chance to think this over, but the quick is

  • Minis and women making it as a surprise. A good one, though who’d ever figure Electrico.
  • Liger matched up with UG? Hmmm. Liger is listed as a tecnico for no good reason.
  • I guess Sombra and Volador don’t know they’re not supposed to like Hectro’s friends.
  • this should be a great show, if given time.

GDL results, Oriental out of AAA, Mistico on Negro, Negro on Mistico

CMLL (TUE) 08/25 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Ebola & In Memoria b Idolo & Nube Roja
2) Angel del Mal & Rey Trueno b Angelo & Metatron
3) Neutrón & Palacio Negro DQ Mr. Trueno & Satánico
4) Máscara Mágica & Shigeo Okumura b Mictlán & Rogue
5) Blue Panther, Máximo, Místico b Black Warrior, Dragon Rojo Jr., Sangre Azteca

Mistico got Sangre with La Mistica for the win. Mictlan got destroyed by Mascara Magica, beat so bloody that he had to leave the match. Not exatly sure what Satanico did to get the DQ in his match, but it was enough that the tecnicos were demanding a hair match.

(LuchandoLibre) Oriental has left AAA, and is currently an independent. No word if the Yakuza will get a new third memory or if they’ll just be folded back into the Legion.

(Fuego en el Ring) Mistico talked about his IWGP Junior Heavyweight championship. Mistico notes Negro Casas was going to Japan for 20 years and never got a shot at the title, and he went and won it in 6 months. He liked the crowd in Japan, though he still is feeling the jet lag. Negro’s been accusing Mistico of being scared and running to Japan, but Mistico wants it clear that he’s in Mexico now and Negro better not run. Negro might have been his teacher, but the student always surpasses the teacher.

Mistico has big plans for the Super Sky Team, like winning the trios titles. This turns into a digressing complaining Garza copying his dress pants look and Mictlan stealing his colorful outfits – be innovative like Mistico. Anyway, Mistico would like to see the Super Sky Team to increase to six people, maybe adding Valiente, Astro Boy and “Super Cometa” (oops.) Is this third or fourth time Mistico’s talked about forming his own large group?

(Record) Negro Casas invites everyone to his mask match with Mistico, and his subsquent parade as he takes the mask and puts it on the Angel de Independencia monument. I believe Negro Casas is going to win just as much as I believe he’s going to climb to the top of the statue. This article always says September 18 is the anniversary show.

ESTO has a profile on Rain, about working with AAA.

The Gladiatores has video interviews with el Matematico, Sangre Chicana & Sangre Chicana Jr. and wrestler from Pachuca.

Ohtani’s Jacket catches up on August IWRG.
