CMLL (TUE) 05/11 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Quca b Johnny Dinamo
2) Leo & Samurai b Ángel del Mal & León Blanco
3) Gallo & Magnum b Malefico & Ráfaga
4) Ángel de Oro & Ángel de Plata DQ Dragón Rojo Jr. & Sangre Azteca
5) La Máscara, Terrible, Último Guerrero DQ Asesino Negro, Brazo de Plata, Máximo [Relevos Increíbles]
Ultimo Guerrero faked a foul from Maximo for a DQ. Maximo was greatly annoyed and demanded a singles match with Ultimo Guerrero. That should be something. Also, Asesino and Brazo randomly agreed to their hair match, taking place next week. Porky dislocated his jaw on Sunday, it won’t be full healed for two months, and he was supposed to sit out a week – and yet he worked this match anyway. Tough, but maybe not the best of ideas.
Angel de Oro & Angel de Plata were winning, so Poder Mexica yanked their masks.

Garza turned on his partners, taking their masks. Dr. X snuck in a foul on Fabian in the tercera.
Volador Jr. defends the Mexican Light Heavyweight Championship versus Mistico next week in Nuevo Laredo.
Extreme Tiger talks to AAA about his opponents for TripleMania: Nosawa (doesn’t know him), Christopher Daniels (faced him once) and Jack Evans (knows him well.) It’s the AAA interviewer bringing up these names, which makes it all the more odd: Alex Koslov is in the match, not Jack Evans. Maybe the TripleMania press conference will have explained that by this time you read this.
Al Filo del Ring says Rayo de Jalisco Jr.‘s match on Sunday was his last in IWRG for the time being; it was thought he was sticking around a lot longer, but the next dates he offered to work here are months down the line.
The Dr. Wagner Jr. poster for the AAA Video Game is super great.

Hector Garza, still on the tecnico side! He’s been turning rudo for five weeks. This is truly Nueva Era de CMLL.
Are those the posters for the AAA game? They look more like the game’s cover (saying this because each poster lists different systems and it wouldn’t be the first game to use different characters for different system’s covers).
Also, according to Dos de Tres on Facebook, TripleMania 18 is going to be shown on PPV in HD.
@wakigatame: The cover is supposed to be determined by the matches in Vegas, so clearly they couldn’t know who would to put on the covers yet!
I think they’re just doing different posters for each system and it’ll all end up being one cover. But I don’t know why you’d just not put all the logos for all the systems on all the posters.
“4) Dragón Rojo Jr. & Sangre Azteca DQ Ángel de Oro & Ángel de Plata”
If Poder Mexica yanked the Angels masks, shouldn’t that result be reversed?
Also, note to Hector Garza, WILL YOU JUST TURN HEEL ALREADY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
@K.D.B_31: Correct, fixed.
So on the covers for the AAA game, Dr. Wagner looks super awesome and Silver King looks good – but who is the guy in the first poster? Is that Elegido? It looks like his mask, but the pose is way too scary and fucked up looking.
Wow that is the worst Puebla card in a long time.
Today was my last lucha related outing in Mexico with a trip to Super Astro’s el Cuadrilátero. I didn’t go for the Gladiator, but the simple chorizo and cheese torta was enough for three of me. And, combined with the half order of fries, probably had enough grease to give three men twice my size heart attacks.
The location felt a lot more authentic than Hijo del Santo’s coffee shops. There were some actual Mexicans eating lunch. It was a good time and worth checking out if you make your way down to Mexico City.
Hopefully Hector Garza won’t turn rudo and this will turn out to be a big misunderstanding.
Hey man,
I’m the 20 year old with the blog. Thanks for the publicity. How’d you come upon my blog?

@thecubsfan:
Hahaha, I can tell. I don’t even know how to find my own blog using Google.
