2) Eléctrico, Fantasy, Último Dragoncito b Pequeño Olímpico, Pequeño Warrior, Pierrothito

Titan & Triton finally win! They had to fight to Tuareg to do it, but a win is a win.
4) Felino, Negro Casas, Rey Escorpion b Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Metro
CMLL recap says the tecnicos put aside their differences and acted like professionals. They still lost. Tiger (and Amapola?) was a guest announcer and argued with Felino.
5) Ángel de Oro, Atlantis, Rush DQ Dragón Rojo Jr., Mr. Águila, Volador Jr.
Dragon Rojo and Angel del Oro continue to feud, Dragon fouling Oro here.
A Dragon Rojo post match interview hints a middleweight title defense vs Angel de Oro.
Other News
Black Terry Jr. has put up the Yakuza vs Herejia match in one two three four parts.
Quien Por Pinta Corona posted interviews with winners Dinastia, Magnifica, and Daga, who explains his whole character and attitude is based on his parents getting divorced at age 6 and never seeing his father again. He also strongly credits Marcos Contreras’ Coliseo Coalaco lucha libre class with changing his life.
Amo de La Lucha continues to post matches from the last IWL show: here’s Daga vs Juvi vs Tony Rivera. Can we stop with the “Juvi is deciding to go to CMLL or AAA” story, already? The only thing more insane that that story is Juventued Guerrera himself. Juvy has begged AAA to go back in recent years, and they’ve turned him down. He’s never going back there unless there’s a dramatic shakeup in leadership. I don’t think CMLL’s high on him either, and the only people really using Juvi right now are people who are using Fuerza Guerrera; Juvi is Hijo del Pantera. This is just Juvi trying to create buzz for Juvi. It’s an admirable goal and I hope it works out great for him, but it’s not going to get him a job in either of the major promotions.

Lineups
CMLL (SUN) 12/25/2011 Plaza de Toros Torreon
3) Bobby Zavala & Vector vs Black Boy & El Árabe
4) Misterioso Jr., Tauro, Voraz vs Hijo del Soberano, Pequeño Halcón, Soberano Jr.
5) Dragón Rojo Jr., Euforia, Último Guerrero vs Ángel de Oro, Ángel de Plata, Stuka Jr.
Just confirmation that Ultimo Guerrero is not in the heavyweight title tournament because he’s here. He had done a Luchas2000 interview talking about wanting to win the vacant title, and he probably could’ve have had them pick a date he was available for, but did not.
That would be the first Angel de Plata match in two months. Injury was originally thought to keep him out two weeks.
CMLL (TUE) 12/27/2011 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Thunder Boy vs In Memoriam
2) Hierro & Metatrón vs Ángel del Mal & Gran Kenut
3) Goya Kong, Lluvia, Silueta vs La Comandante, La Seductora, Zeuxis
4) Dragon Lee, Fuego, Guerrero Maya Jr. vs El Alebrije, Histeria, Pólvora
5) Máscara Dorada, Máximo, Rush vs Ephesto, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas
A show! They ran a women’s match last night and are running a women’s match this show, and aren’t using the any of the same luchadoras between them. Actually, only person working back to back Tuesdays is Maximo.
Honestly, I do see Arena Mexico or Arena Coliseo going away at some point within five years. Really four because I predicted it a year ago. Paco is wealthy, but I don’t see how much longer he can maintain two arenas in Mexico City. Paco is not running a vanity promotion. If the right real estate offer comes along, I think he’ll take it.
Why would they get rid of Arena Mexico? If anything, they will sell GDL and Puebla.
really juvi is hijo de pantera?
Metaphor.
ahhh thanks for declaring it…..
@Tim: They don’t need two venues in Mexico City anymore. Both Coliseo and Arena Mexico are prime real estate.
I would not be surprised to see GDL and Puebla sold too. All of these venues are getting old, and attendance is going down. Eventually, CMLL will maintain one venue in Mexico City and that’s it.
Juvi will get rumors going because he is the most known luchadore who is not aligned with anyone. Even El Hijo del Santo is aligned (with himself.) I feel Juvi rumors will exist until he ends up somewhere in America or Mexico as doubtful as that sounds or when he is retired. Then of course IF he winds up somewhere, the rumors of how long will he be there will start.
Angel de Oro and Dragon Rojo Jr. could be a rivalry to get people talking about CMLL for the RIGHT reasons. Young stars that have not been killed by political enemies or injury. I maybe hoping for too much but CMLL’s future may not be so dark if they invest in these guys…
unless his girlfriend who is one of the dancers or toscano can convince roldan to bring juvy back to aaa he wont be coming back
