Attendance was down, blamed on a afternoon/evening long rain storm.
Porky got the pin on Mendoza for the win in the main event. Cesar notes Porky looked out of shape. I am shocked!
Valiente/Dragon Rojo sounds good; they got 18 minutes.
Huracan Ramirez was honored in between the top two matches. Axxel was not there, because he was wagering his mask in Monterrey…

Mask match is different from what it was originally announced. Park, hurting during the match, took Matematico’s mask. No real name listed yet.
In Record (reposted by SuperLuchas) El Hijo del Santo rips both CMLL and AAA. Santo says AAA promised him the moon and the stars, but left after TripleMania when it was clear they weren’t going to pay him what he thought he deserved. Santo’s angry with CMLL, feeling they’re riding his coattails in Europe, but running shows with promoters who have so little knowledge of wrestling that they’re ruining it for everyone else. The last time he was in France, while he was doing press conference, people for CMLL were in the crowd, handing out info on their own shows. Santo think Perros del Mal may do a better job, but thinks neither CMLL or AAA will figure out how to take advantage of the television of they have until Televisa finally kicks them off the network. So, yea, he’s not going back to AAA or CMLL any time soon.
CMLL’s advertising Arena Puebla tickets now available on Ticketmaster. They’re not on the ticketmaster website, at least when I checked. This is exactly what Santo is ranting about.
Fuego en el Ring hears Hijo de Rey Misterio is training with CMLL in Mexico City, and debuting in the next few weeks. That’s probably the best move he could make right now – if he wants to more than than a Rey Misterio tribute band, joining CMLL and working a bit more frequently would help.

No lineups.
AAA TV started early it seems and the Cuernavaca taping is airing but not sure how much of it since I just saw the Pimpi match and shut it off.
@Rob: I was flipping channels during C3, but it looked like they got 5 matches. Women, Fantasma’s match, Volador/Averno lightning, Strongman/Shocker/Mistico vs Peste, and the hair match.
@Rob: AAA opened with the Dark Family match. I’m assuming they are shifting the taping around a lot since this is listed as a 2:00 show at this point.
Neither of those previous posts was really me. I’m gussing it’s that shit for brains named Rob who is mocking me.
El Brazo got lots of backstage airtime today even though his match didn’t air.
Didn’t catch what aired second on Puebla, but the opener, Triada, and main all aired.
@Alan: Nice. Let’s hope the mini’s rounded things out.
@Alan: I have adult ADD, as many wrestling fans do, so I understand how frustrating the long replays were. Improvements are needed.
@Alan: “ubs’ cruel prediction comes true this week and I am stuck with the women and Porky on FSE. But, to make things even better, we get Porky interview segments (surrounded by Brazo de Plata memorabilia) going into and out of each commercial break.”
No worries Alan! Hopefully this week you will get what looks like an AMAZING segunda with Felino’s kids, Delta and Diamante!
