REINA champs debuted with a loss, but Fuego says they demonstrated “good rhythm and worked well with La Comandante despite their small size”.

4) Diamante, Gallo, Sagrado b Malefico, Misterioso Jr., Shigeo Okumura
Sagrado beat Okumura and challenged him to a Occidente light heavyweight title match.
5) Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto b Atlantis, Marco Corleone, Super Porky
Rudos took 1/3, focusing on Mephisto vs Atlantis. Mephisto pinned Atlantis with a Devil’s Wings in the first, Porky splashed all the rudos in the second, and Mephisto got away with a foul on Atlantis in the third. Atlantis demanded a rematch.
CMLL put out an article about Negro Casas’ eye injury, and it still sounds like he’s weeks away from returning. His injury is specifically listed as a June 10th match, coming off a Shocker reinera. This looks to be it; that match ended strangely, which sure seemed to indicate something happened. Negro said he could not distinguish things 50cm or more away.
Rob has highlights of 11/13/93 AAA.
LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update.

Also on the show, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. beat Dr. Wagner Jr. again, with Wagner demanding a mask match, and Daga joined the Perros del Mal. Abyss missed his scheduled appearance and was replaced by TNA’s Brutus Magnus (who AAA mistakenly indicated was the ex-CMLL’s Magnus.) Teddy Hart appeared and won.
- Nuevo Mistico will debut on August 3rd. Dragon Lee will not wrestle again until then, but has been doing outside press trying to build hype for the debut. The name change skit has been repeatedly shown on CMLL’s many TV shows in the last two weeks.

CMLL En Busca de un Idolo (05/25/2012)
Euforia, Titan, Ultimo Guerrero vs Atlantis, Diamante, Dragon Lee: as clear a case of laying out a match to spotlight certain people. Dragon Lee got in all his trademark spots and multiple dives. He didn’t do his spots particularly well, he looked exposed in mat wrestling part of the first fall, and a good portion of the crowd dislikes him. Meanwhile, poor Titan did no dives, got no pins, and was equally dumped out of the ring after the match. At least they have a direction? (though, looking back, Ultimo Guerrero may not have been in on the direction early.)
