top six stories of the last two weeks

  1. Terrible won the CMLL Universal Tournament over Hiroshi Tanahashi in a good match. Terrible also successfully defended the CMLL Heavyweight Championship over Diamante Azul and defeated Shocker in a non-title match, having all the momentum leading in to his hair match this Friday.
  2. Meanwhile, Rush lost a non-title match to Tanahashi in Puebla. Since Terrible beat Tanahashi and Tanahashi beat Rush, Rush is doomed.
  3. Mr. Niebla and Volador Jr. were suspended for two weeks after a singles match between them was deemed too bloody by CMLL management. Neither man are part of the Anniversary show lineup.
  4. AAA did not run a TV taping, but the lineup for their next major show snuck on the internet. Heroes Inmortales, October 8th in San Luis Potosi, has a domed cage match between the Bizarros, Jack Evans, and Perros del Mal. Jeff Jarrett returns for a no stakes trios match while Abyss & Chessan defend the tag team titles for the first time since May versus the deadly combination of Vampiro and Joe Lider. 44 different wrestlers will be in matches on the show.
  5. Dragon Rojo & Rey Escorpion have apparently decided they do not want to leave Los Guerreros, but want to run the trio and keep Ultimo Guerrero as a mute third man. UG has not seemed happy with this idea, and more problems with the team lead to them losing in a trios title match.
  6. yet another CMLL TV show debuted. Arena Puebla matches now on EstrellaTV, a US TV network, on Sunday afternoons.
