CMLL (TUE) 12/27/2011 Arena Mexico [CMLL]
1) Cholo & Zayco b Bengala & Camaleón
2) Astral, Fantasy, Shockercito b Mercurio, Pequeño Nitro, Pequeño Warrior
3) Diamante, Pegasso, Rey Cometa b Arkángel de la Muerte, Hijo del Signo, Nitro
Nitro & Signo replaced Cancerbero & Nosferatu. Seems like a net positive.
4) Olímpico, Psicosis, Virus b Black Warrior, Titán, Triton
Titan & Triton returned to their losing ways.
5) Ángel de Oro, Hijo del Fantasma, Super Porky b Averno, Dragón Rojo Jr., Mephisto
Angel de Oro beat Dragon Rojo clean with the mecedora. Dragon Rojo still did not want to put up his title, but the fans booed him into accepting the challenge.

CMLL sent out two press releases getting to some ongoing issues. First, they said the luchadors using the name El Consejo are former members of their promotion and do not represent them at all. CMLL declared they own the copyright on that name and other using are breaking Mexican laws. (CMLL won’t even mention AAA by name here.)

CMLL also refuted rumors they were selling Arena Coliseo, calling that a lie spread by those who have not visited their offices or called them. This press release has an quote attributed to Jose Luis Feliciano, speculating that it’s just confusion because they’re not running shows there to 1/22. That rumor has been going on for weeks unrelated to that, but maybe it’s just the first CMLL’s heard of it.

It’s great CMLL has finally gotten around to addressing these stories. They really should’ve picked a better day to do it.

  1. Maybe this is a dumb question, but have they completely given up on Titan and Triton getting over? And if so, what does that say about their ability to create new stars?

  2. @kortej: It is possible they’re just losing until someone – Shocker, Olimpico, someone else – comes in to lead the trio and they start getting wins then. And that could be a while, maybe until the next press conference. But I can’t rule out them having given up.

  3. What it can be and what cannot be a joke today? Seems like everyday is a joke for what happen in lucha libre or wrestling however people want to call, fake stories, fans upset and embittering the blogs as long it keeps us entertained is what it matters, it doesnt if it is true or false.
