Infierno en el Ring, Dr. Wagner, lineups

CMLL has three apuesta matches in the next 36 hours. Silueta and Seuxis square off for masks in Guadalajara tonight, after which we’ll know which of these women we’re supposed to be taking seriously. Centella de Oro defends his hair once again on an Arena Puebla anniversary show tomorrow, versus fellow Puebla native Loco Max. The highest profile match is tonight’s in Arena Mexico, the annual Infierno en el Ring cage match.

Histeria and Dr. X are the two prime suspects. Psicosis starting a feud with Mistico means his mask may not be long for this world, and Psi & Histeria’s fates have been tied together for a long time. Dr. X has complained to the magazines in recent years about going nowhere on CMLL shows, went into a feud with Fabian el Gitano and it may not be one he can win. Any older guy always has a chance to lose. Maybe not so much Monsther; Ras de Lona had a segment on Atlantis’ anniversary, including Hombre Bala talking about losing his mask. Maybe you wait for a less laughable occasion to have him lose this mask.

There was no mention of Dr. Wagner on Ras de Lona. If CMLL has any interest, they’re keeping it very quiet. I think the reality is Wagner’s got little chance of coming to CMLL, but wants the freedom to take any high paying bookings he wants from indy promoters without having to go thru AAA. That’s the sort of freedom he had at the very start of his AAA tenure, and it probably makes him a lot more money than having to be booked with the rest of the AAA stars. It’s not good for AAA, since they wouldn’t be getting a cut and there are liable to be promoters who just decide Wagner is all they need and don’t bring in AAA guys.

Konnan tells Estrellas del Ring, as a member of the Foreign Legion, he can’t know what’s up with Dr. Wagner. Right. He doesn’t think this is setting up a CMLL vs AAA feud. The show where the interview was done featured four substitutions out of the six people scheduled for the main event, though it was the one where Chessman showed up hurt. Mesias missing a show just after returning from injury seems ominous.

AAA held a press conference to hype it’s taping in Puebla. No hint about Decnnis’ partners. Joaquin, Ciberentico, Alex and Fabi were in attendance, the last two hyping up their title match.

DJ Spectro looks back at La Sombra vs Supremo II. The previous Sombra, not the current one.

LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update.

SuperLuchas #373 has coverage from Nuevo Laredo, including an interview with the Wagners. There’s also a couple of stories on Popitekus, and an interview with Fantasma de la Opera. Fantasma wants back in IWRG, has asked the Morenos to come back, but believes he’s been blackballed for a locker room incident (he says argument) when he was last in IWRG six month ago.

3) Gallo & Hierro vs Drago & Ebola

This is also running against the TV taping, and it shouldn’t be surprised if there’s something that goes down tonight to set up a different main event. Saturno, the kid from Guadalajara, makes another cameo in the minis division.

  1. I voted for Diamante in the hopes that CMLL decides to actually build to something to perhaps draw some money. It’s a given that Histeria will drop his mask but it shouldn’t be like this. They could use his mask to elevate a younger guy like Delta. As far as Dr. X and Fabian are concerned that mask match could be used to elevate either guy. I would not surprised me in the least if Dr. X and Fabian are the final 2 left in the cage. I am glad I am not a CMLL programer

  2. I hate you.

    I think you’ve talked me out of picking Monster.

    So my last second change is to Dr. X. I think he finally cashes in since the value will never be higher.

    Histeria is not a possibility.

  3. I voted for Dr. X to lose his mask, sticking with my prediction from earlier, stating either Dr. X or Fabian el Gitano will lose their mask.

    care to explain?

  5. When Cubs’ originally posted about this match & the participants I made my prediction for the match stating “I think either Fabian el Gitano, or Dr. X will lose their mask. With Angel de Oro, Tiger Kid, Fabian & Dr. X being the final four left in the cage, other than that I have no clue what’s going to happen. “

  6. maybe Monsther loses and is never heard from again *shrug*

    we can all dream i guess…

  7. I hope that Fabian loses the mask, can’t stand the guy. But I voted Monster just because I have no faith in CMLL sharing my view on Fabian. Monster is such a Peña creation that CMLL only brought him in to lose the mask.

    As for Histeria, he’ll loose the mask to someone involved in the actual angle if CMLL has any sense

    So watch as Monster pins Ángel de Oro to unmask him ;)

  8. Fabian lost to Angel De Oro.

    Dr. X keeps his mask but technically loses the feud with Fabian.

  9. I made the right pick. I had a feeling Fabian would lose just based off the tercera caida video with them re-decorating the studio. He cut a good promo, so I figured he’d drop his mask and be an ugly looking fella.
