CMLL (TUE) 11/13/2012 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) El Divino & Virgo b Acertijo & Sádico
2) Exterminador & Ráfaga b Black Metal & Esfinge
Esfinge replaced Metatron, but screwed up for the loss.
3) Estrellita, Luna Mágica, Silueta b Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sugheit, Tiffany
Estrellita and Blanca feuded.
4) Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Titán b Kráneo, Mr. Águila, Olímpico
5) Dragón Rojo Jr., Mephisto, Volador Jr. b La Máscara, Shocker, Super Porky
Volador unmasked Mascara and cradled him for the win. Mascara demanded a singles match. Volador just walked off, but it’s on for next week.
AAA tapes tonight in Arena Naucalpan. It should be the last taping before they start to announce the Guerra de Titanes card, so the major matches should be clear. The semimain includes the one announced match – Texano vs Mesias for the AAA Title – as part of a tag match with Chessman and Vampiro, who may be in their own match. The Consejo vs Psycho Circus may also be a preview of a trios match, though the winner of the Oficials vs Infierno Rockers match may also get involved. The opener continues the Mascarita Dorada vs Mini Charly Manson feud. The main event is Dr. Wagner Jr. vs LA Park, which should set up something for either o both them for AAA’s end of the year show and might be an interesting match in itself.
Tried to work out what’s going on with all the CMLL title changes of late, and last night’s Tercera Caida where Tama Tonga was still taunting Diamante Azul after the tag team title change. I had assumed Tonga was done this week, but since he’s not on the next NJPW tour (the last significant one of the year) and just won the tag team titles, I could not be more wrong. Tonga’s comments would be great to set up a Diamante Azul vs Tama Tonga mask vs hair match for an end of the year show, except Azul is going on that NJPW tour and that wouldn’t leave them much time to build it back up. They don’t need as much time for a lesser match, a tag title match with Tonga & Terrible taking on arch rival team of Azul & Rush. That’d make a fine semimain, even better if Azul & Rush pick up some wins in that tournament. CMLL tries to keep everyone happy, which means Atlantis picks up trios titles before he loses tag team titles. (CMLL tries to keep everyone who matters happy, I guess. Sorry Invasors!) And the Polvora win sure looks to be a way to establish him at a higher level before hooking him into the rudo vs rudo feud (where Rey Escorpion is leader of his group and the only one without a belt!) That’s my best guess at the moment.
The Mexico City Museum of Popular Art will have an exhibit on lucha libre. It opens tomorrow.
MedioTiempo has an interview with the company behind the possible FULL/Tinieblas arcade game. They’re still not even close to their funding goal, partly because this sort of Kickstarter project is still new in Mexico (and new in the world, relatively speaking) and partly because no one ever actually links to the funding site in these articles. This article spells the site’s name wrong, it’s fondeadora.mx, and the donation page is here.
LuchaMania Monterrey writes about the ERLL 3rd Anniversary show, with Hampon taking Coyote Jr.’s hair.

Sure appears Polvora is the third man in the Dragon Rojo & Rey Escorpion group, though nothing’s officially been said.
Puma King changing his name to Puma is really dumb, but that semimain isn’t.
Bam Bam should tease going to the top rope and then change his mind.
