CMLL (FRI) 12/09/2011 Arena Mexico
1) Höruz, Leono, Sensei b Bobby Zavala, Bronco, Ramstein
Rudo screw ups led to the tecnico win.
2) Dragon Lee, Pegasso, Rey Cometa b Cancerbero, Hijo del Signo, Raziel
Tecnicos took 2/3. Cometa 450 splash on Signo for the win, knees to the chest. The twitter account noted Cometa was wearing one black glove, like Mano Negra used to.
3) Olímpico, Psicosis, Volador Jr. b Atlantis, Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr.
Tirantes was referee again. Rudos jumped the tecnicos took take fall 1, tecnicos came back to win fall 2. Atlantis got Volador in an Atlantida, but Tirantes allowed the rudos to rip off Atlantis’ mask, and covered him for the win. Even though Atlantis’ crew have lost both matches in this feud, they still challenged for a trios match. The champions accepted, but took all the tecnico’s masks.
4) Último Guerrero b Jushin Lyger
UG won clean with the Guerrero Special.
5) La Máscara, La Sombra, Rush b Averno, Mephisto, Mr. Niebla
Before the match, Rush & Maximo introduced their partner for next week – Marco Corleone. Averno earlier appeared to honor two Para-Pan American game medalists. Mascara & Sombra got Mephsito & Averno in the third.
6) Felino & Negro Casas DQ Blue Panther & Rey Bucanero
Panther gave Negro a sit down piledriver for the DQ. He tried for tombstone on Felino, but the ref broke it up.
Lights were turned off, making the empty seats much more invisible.
Piledriver usually means you’re out next week (though Negro is listed on the schedule), and Panther only has one Casas brother to deal with. He seemed to do the piledriver more with anger and less with planning though.
Looks like that’s it for Jushin Liger. He lost his title and lost cleanly on his way out, so they don’t appear to be setting him back up for a return any time soon.
Marco mentioned on Twttiter that he agreed to come back three weeks ago. CMLL really needed someone coming in to start to counter balance all the people leaving.
Ras de Lona was the show for vignettes of Mr. Niebla and Zacarias goofily announcing upcoming ticket specials. I need to put them up later if CMLL doesn’t. All Sunday shows are cut to 15 pesos for kids from 12/17 to 01/15 (including Christmas and New Year’s Day.) There was also Sagrado interview where he was surreally calm and explaining Sunday’s team up with Titan & Triton as his exploring his rudo side and suggested he might be doing it more in the future. Separately, Titan & Triton said they’d work harder to beat their rivals. Shocker was not mentioned.
The Lucha Olimpico tournament starts 12/18, on a Sunday fan appreciation show.
The CMLL match at the Toyko Dome is kind of just a grab bag of names
2) Jushin Liger, Tiger Mask, KUSHIDA, Mascara Dorada vs Atlantis, Valiente, Taichi, TAKA Michinoku
Also, Yoshihashi returns (as YOSHI-HASHI) to NJPW on the show. Not confirmed if it’s full time, but that’s my guess.
AAA’s regional show is NOT on the schedule, just the one hour show on the main network.
Fishman Jr., Hijo de La Park and Hijo del Medico Asesino are talking about forming a trio. Medico Asesino is staying involved in a lot of things for a guy who’s supposed to be going to FCW in a month or two.

6) Blue Panther vs Felino [hair]
Marco returns in the semimain. Maximo is also listed in Guadalajara, but probably will appear here. Negro Casas may not wrestler, based on last night’s injury angle.
This is another good night for matches. Tercera should be fun, title match should be too.
