Sin Salida preview

A little busy, site down a little, so this is a little shorter than usual.

1) Rouge, Rey Cometa, Pegasso vs Loco Max, Skandalo, Hooligan

Just your normal segunda as an opener. Rey Cometa will try his dive and hopefully not die. Rouge will probably get to pin Loco Max. Everyone else will move on.

2) Mascarita Dorada vs Mini Damian 666

This should be superb. One of the disappointments of 2009 is CMLL hasn’t done nearly the amount of big minis matches as it was doing last year, but this still should be a nice treat. I’d guess Dorada wins because it’s shaping up to be that kind of show, but it could go either way

3) Brazo de Plata, Maximo, La Mascara vs Misterioso II, Negro Casas, Felino

La Mascara and Misterioso somehow got pulled into what will be an comedy match otherwise. Either it works and it’s amusing or it doesn’t work and it’s the worst match on the show, but I suspect this is not the last time CMLL does a Brazos/Peste Negra match any time soon. Might as well take the rudos in that case.

4) Strong Man, Mistico, Hector Garza vs Ultimo Guerrero, Atlantis, Mr. Niebla

This was being billed as the Last Time The Guerreros del Atlantida Would Team, which was never actually going to be true to begin with and seems even less so now. Strong Man took the personal loss last week, so he’s got to get the win back here unless they’ve already decide to part ways with him (and it is that time of year – may not be worth it to bring Strong Man in for the next couple months if they’re not going to be doing much), but there’s still no idea where they’re ultimately going with him. Doesn’t seem like CMLL has confidence enough in him to do the singles title match with UG, but there’s no other way out of this feud.

Mistico’s not losing on this big show anyway.

5) Volador Jr. & Sombra vs Mephisto & Ephesto [CMLL TAG]

This feels like a status quo match to showcase the tecnicos and keep them as champions. Mephisto & Ephesto aren’t a normal team, not that means CMLL won’t put the titles on them just to be random. I really just think this just fits in line with the other high profile defenses Volador & Sombra have had this year (Metal/Negro, Atlantis/Bucanero, plus Felino/Negro and Terrible/Texano in Puebla), where the tecnicos triumphs over names to try and establish themselves as top guys. Not sure this will get them there still, but it won’t hurt.

This also seems added just to add a really good match to the show. Even though it’s a new pair matchup on the rudo side, these sides have faced off roughly a thousand times in slightly better matches. This should be great, as lon as they’re not bored with it.

6) Texano Jr. & Terrible vs Naito & Yujiro [hair]

Reasons No Limit could actually win

– This isn’t the end of Mexico vs Japan
– CMLL makes weird decisions

That’s all I got. CMLL once had Terrible beat Cien Caras in a hair match, years before they actually decided to do anything with Terrible (though mostly because Mascara Ano 2000 and Perro Aguayo Jr. were also involved), and Terrible’s not even the high ranking member of his team. It would be amazing to see Texano and Terrible to take the loss here, but only amazing in how dumb that would be.

No idea on how this will turn out as a match.

I plan to have some sort of live coverage tonight, though I’m not exactly sure what.

10 thoughts to “Sin Salida preview”

  1. I took Sombra/Volador and Terrible/Texano, but I’m not too confident about that combination being correct. Both picks seem too obvious and CMLL has had a way of delivering a bit of a surprise in one of their top two matches on big cards this year (Negro over Mistico at Dos Leyendas and Japan over Mexico at Anniversary). So, I wouldn’t be shocked if we get new champs, but a little disappointed. If they were going to move the belts I wish they would be using a more established team to do so. Ticketmaster is still showing tickets available in Row 9, so hopefully a lot of people show up and buy tickets tonight.

  2. CM93, I think that Averno is going to be moved “up” into a role similar to that of Ultimo, with Mephesto & Ephesto being the regular tag team… Kinda how they moved away from Ultimo/Buccanero to Buccanero/Tarzan.
    Which means Los Avernos might get the surprise rudo win in the semi…

  3. When it comes to Sin Salida, First of all I think the tag title match will be awesome, But I think Sombra & Volador will retain their titles. The only thing correct result for the hair match at the moment, is that a duo will win. But which duo ? I think No Limit will lose their hair, which means two members of Los Shitheads will be pelon & soon making their exit out of CMLL.

  4. I was going with Sombra/Volador until you wrote…

    “CMLL makes weird decisions”

    I know you applied that to the main event but it fits for the semi-main too. There are a ton of rudo teams who would make fantastic challengers for Sombra/Volador and zero tecnico tag teams who could challenge Mephisto/Efesto. So surely they’ll switch the titles for that very reason.

    (Also because it’d be a big win for two guys who Mistico will be unmasking sooner rather than later.)

    Main event I went with the Mexicans b/c I’m not sure who’d be left to avenge the loss if No Limit were to win again. Shocker/Garza? Anti-climactic. Averno/Mephisto? Have bigger things to focus on. Mistico/Ultimo Guerrero? HA!

    CMLL has done this the simple way and the simple thing to do is end the story by saying after 6 months of being dominated, the Mexicans finally won the war in the end.
