Match came down to Pirata & Cien, and the Dinamitas argued Cien Caras got his shoulder up in time. At any rate, Pirates and Dinamitas are feuding again.
CMLL (MON) 11/01 Arena Puebla [CMLL]
1) Ares & Centauro de Fuego b Blue Center & King Jaguar
2) Bronco, Puma King, Tiger Kid b Guerrero Maya Jr., Horus, Tigre Blanco
3) Ángel de Oro, Leono, Sensei b Demus 3:16, Dr. X, Nitro
4) Misterioso II, Pólvora, Sangre Azteca b Máximo, Metro, Stuka Jr.
5) Blue Panther, Máscara Dorada, Místico DQ Felino, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero
In revenge for last week, Mistico tossed his mask to Bucanero to draw a DQ. Singles match coming up soon.
Rudos won the semimain and challenged for the Mexican National trios titles, though the tecnicos pointed out Dorada was the third champion, not Maximo. Misterioso pointed out Dorada was in the locker room and called him out. Dorada said he’s leaving for Japan on Sunday, so he can’t defend the titles on Monday, but he promised a title match when he returned.
Fuego en el Ring has fan polling about why they’re not happy with CMLL. The common theme is the ex-AAA guys are pushed far better than their spot, and Tirantes’ act detracts from the supposed serious and stable. The Tirantes bit was supposed to give the Invasors more credibility – even if they weren’t on the CMLL guys level, they could still cheat a way to a win – but it really seems to have backfired.
Dragon Rojo Jr. says winning the tag team titles is a reward for all his hard work. The man clearly works hard, though maybe he’s too focused on certain work.
Cibernetico is sad his best friend La Parka didn’t trust him. His best friend? La Parka says they will always be friends, and he doesn’t want to go back to feuding with Cibernetico. The newest Bizarro vignette, with Amadeus, is up.
CMLL in NJPW: they posted the Terrible & Texano vs Tanahashi & Tajiri match on YouTube. I give this match 4 Ts.

CMLL.com is promoting this show. Cage match is CMLL vs Invasors, and Brazo de Platino & Apolo Estrada Jr. are the two guys who wouldn’t be in the match except to lose. May Flowers hasn’t been around AAA for a while.
Definelty am rooting for Sangre and Misterioso to win those trios titles to show Rojo that they are going strong,I wonder if the Cancerberos approve of Polvora’s new partners.
I’m looking forward to the LWA Peru show tomorrow. I’ve got a bit better idea of who the luchadors are this time through, and tournament shows are generally a fun way to get to know the roster better.
It sounds like it will turn out being 1.5 teams “not from here” since it sounds like Super Z will be coming back to be Trash’s partner.
@Alan – I totally forgot, but Super Z is indeed the same guy that had a brief stop over in HWA a few years back. My tag partner Ed Gonzales said that Z is in fact a Mexican native.
@Nikita: Thanks. I wound up missing his match at the last show since they started an hour late. I’ll have more flexibility this week, so I should be able to stay for all of this one.
This will be the third show in a row for Super Z down here. I’m pretty sure he is a bigger star down here than in Mexico or the US.
Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca , plus Semental, Terrible & Texano Jr = group that takes over CMLL & destroys Ultimo Guerrero in the process.
I was wrong, no Super Z tonight, just a tease that he would be the mystery partner. Instead, it was a returning regular whose name I didn’t catch, but the crowd seemed pretty happy about. Kings of Wrestling put on a good show, though I realized that the problem with bringing even US indy guys down here is that they look like giants compared to the locals. A very good show overall though, I thought it was better than the last one. Clase, Dinero y Poder (TVK & Ian Muhlig) beat Castignoli and Hero in the finals for the new titles. Castignoli was “injured” after their semifinal match, and hit in the knew with the ring bell to protect the KOW, but I still thought they did a good job making all three of the teams they faced look good. Heavy Metal (Peru) beat Da Vinci to become the number one contender for the LWA title for the next show. I may make a “Peru’s Heavy Metal is better than Mexico’s Heavy Metal” sign for the next show.
