04/20-25 CMLL Lineups

CMLL (TUE) 04/20 Arena Mexico
1) Bengala & Camaleón vs Apocalipsis & Disturbio
2) Fabián el Gitano, Horus, Starman vs Dr. X, Hooligan, Nitro
3) Bam Bam, Eléctrico, Pequeño Olímpico vs Pequeño Nitro, Pequeño Universo 2000, Pierrothito
4) Máximo, Rush, Sagrado vs Taichi, Vangelis, Virus
5) Héctor Garza, La Máscara, La Sombra vs Ephesto, Mephisto, Terrible

Despite acting like a rudo, Garza was on both the main show and Ras de Lona talking about how he’s totally a tecnico. Kinda like Mistico did (and is doing), except this one we’re not supposed to take seriously. It’s pretty clear watching it, since Garza is back to his rudo insincerity, but it takes something (guts or ignorance) to run these bits back to back.

Virus could use your prayers this week.

CMLL (FRI) 04/23 Arena Mexico
1) Astral, Bracito de Oro, Último Dragoncito vs Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Violencia, Pequeño Warrior
2) Delta & Volador Jr. vs Guerrero Maya Jr. & Valiente and Ángel Azteca Jr. & Shocker and Pegasso & Toscano and Averno & Raziel and Durango Kid & Texano Jr. and Puma King & Último Guerrero andFelino & Tiger Kid [Gran Alternativa, semifinal]
3) Blue Panther, Místico, Strong Man vs Atlantis, Dragon Rojo Jr., Rey Bucanero

The bit of angst here is Valiente being scheduled for this show, when he’s also supposed to be in Philadelphia for CHIKARA’s King of Trios at the same time. He’s good but he’s not that good. Valiente could replaced by anyone (Maya probably isn’t going to win) and this date should’ve been cleared earlier, but such is the never ending frustrating thing with Mexican wrestlers and US bookings.

As far as the CMLL issus, and putting aside the minis feud which can’t actually pick an end date, Delta & Volador Jr. and Angel Azteca Jr. & Shocker seem like the most likely teams. If you had to make a case for a rudo team, Ulitmo Guerrero in the final sets up another Garza/UG match up, but it makes much since to put a tecnico team in the final so we can all see Garza is not really with them. anymore. I don’t think Delta or Azteca is really ready to take advantage of a GA win long term, but I don’t suppose that’ll be a problem.

CMLL (SUN) 04/25 Arena Coliseo
1) Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II vs Artillero & Súper Comando
2) Dalis la Caribeña, Estrella Mágica, Lady Apache vs Amapola, La Seductora, Princesa Sujei
3) Ángel de Oro, Ángel de Plata, Astro Boy vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Skándalo
4) Héctor Garza, Shocker, Toscano vs Rey Bucanero, Shigeo Okumura, Taichi
5) Atlantis, Strong Man, Volador Jr. vs Místico, Terrible, Texano Jr. [Relevos Increíbles]

Semimain may be a hint for the GA final. Maybe one more Mistico/Volador match will give them a chance to draw a line under it and move on.

3 thoughts to “04/20-25 CMLL Lineups”

  1. Hector Garza is so much better as a Technico. I don’t know who came up with the stupid idea to make him a Rudo.

  2. A sane person came up with him being a Rudo. He’s perfect as one.

    Is Fabian booking these Tuesday shows? He’s horrible yet almost always on them.

  3. FWIW the mask match was agreed to for 4/30 according to the radio. Doing a mini’s mask match on Kids Day makes total sense. Put that with the Gran Alternativa and there’s your show.

    Looks like Rush/Vangelis are building to a Tuesday hair match and SOMETHING IS HAPPENING WITH THOSE MINI’S! This is 4th straight week! I’m gonna watch my recording of C3 and figure it out.
