Carta Brava beat Golden Magic again.

Dinamitas took one, Psychos took two, and dives at the end (topped by a Murder plancha) led to the countout. The two teams want a super libre rematch for next week.
CMLL (FRI) 09/23/2011 Arena Mexico [CMLL, La Catedral]
1) Lady Apache & Marcela b Princesa Blanca & Princesa Sugheit
Rudas took the first, tecnicas came back to win the last two
2) Volador Jr. b La Máscara, Valiente, Stuka Jr., Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Metal Blanco, Palacio Negro, Pólvora, Shigeo Okumura, Puma King, Tiger [Leyenda de Plata, semifinal]
Teams were Mascara, Polvora, Guerrero Maya, Delta, Palacio Negro, Tiger vs Valiente, Stuka, Volador, Metal Blanco, Okumura and Puma King. Eliminations went Tiger (via Stuka), Okumura (Maya), Puma (Palacio), Palacio (Metal), Delta/Stuka eliminated each other, Metal Blanco (Polvora), Guerrero Maya (Valiente), Polvora (Volador), Valiente (Mascara) and Mascara (Volador). Mascara did have fan support at the end, but crowd was happy to see Volador win. Maybe too much – Volador celebrated by attacking Monito.
3) Jushin Lyger, La Sombra, Máscara Dorada b Averno, Dragón Rojo Jr., Mephisto
tecnicos took 2/3, Lyger beating Averno.
4) Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas b Rey Bucanero, Terrible, Texano
TRT got themselved DQed in the first for excessive violence, then Peste took the second. Negro & Felino got casitas on Bucanero & Texano.
5) Atlantis b Último Guerrero
UG jumped Atlantis to win a quick fall one, Atlantis won a quick fall two and took fall three to win the match. UG had Atlantis up in an Atlantida, Atlantis escaped for a small package, then got his own Atlantida for the win. He appeared to be limping after the match.
This show included the final of the 3M mask creation contest. Not only did La Sombra appear to congratulate the winner, but so did Salvador Lutteroth Jr. Super Porky was the legend honored. I’m guessing these legends bits are to dispute the notion that CMLL is missing the older stars, since they’re honoring so many of them.
CMLL Gaceta has the winners of the 3M mask creation contest. There’s some really creative idea, but the best one won.
AAA announced Fabi Apache, Mari Apache, and Cinthia Moreno vs Sexi Star, Jennifer Blake and Velvet Sky in a lights off/glow in the dark match for Heroes Inmortales. What happened to Lolita? Lights off seems a weird choice for a women’s match; they’re there to be seen.
Sting “hyped” up his match was Mesias in a very generic and boring interview that’ll air on AAA TV today. I hope he brings more to the match than he did for that.
LuchaWorld has Ras de Lona from two weeks ago.
Lucha Libre In Japan
No full results available as of yet, but La Comandate and Zeuxis won the REINA tag team titles earlier today.

Lineups
CMLL (FRI) 09/30/2011 Arena Mexico
***CMLL 78th Anniversario***
1) Ángel Azteca Jr. & Hombre Bala Jr. vs Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II
2) Dragon Lee & Stuka Jr. vs Euforia & Misterioso Jr.
3) Jushin Lyger vs Diamante, Olímpico, Mephisto, Hijo del Signo, Fuego, Dragón Rojo Jr., Metro, Rey Escorpion, Virus, Máscara Dorada, Sangre Azteca [Leyenda de Plata, cibernetico, semifinal]
4) Héctor Garza vs Rush, Blue Panther, Felino, Máximo, Texano, Mr. Águila, Negro Casas, Terrible, Rey Bucanero [cage, hair]
An show in desperate need of a strong semimain to get people interested has no such match. Only four matches too; the idea of VIP lightning match for September died a couple weeks. The two luchadors in the hottest and most acclaimed feud of the year here, La Mascara & Averno, are not either this card or the Guadalajara card. This will do worst than expected.
Lyger & Mascara Dorada are the clear favorites in this block.
