Sangre Nueva, Fiebre Amarilla, Puebla lucha tryout results

Tonight is part 2 of the Sangre Nueva tournament. Participants are Super Halcon, Sensei, Robin, Genesis, Oro Jr. Disturbio, Zayco, Guerrero Negro, Taurus, and Inquisidor (though that preview leaves out Oro.) Winner faces Soberano, so a rudo would be more likely, and Disturbio or Taurus would figure to have the best chance. I am still rooting for Zayco for no good reason.

CMLL made two slight changes to this week’s lineups: Kraneo replaces Black Warrior tonight and Sangre Azteca replaces Olimpico on Sunday.

Fiebre Amarilla are thrilled to be Arena Coliseo Tag Team champions, despite the unfortunate belts.  Okumura says this is the beginning, and it’ll be no different when the opponents are Stuka & Rey Cometa. Namajague declared this the beginning of a new Japanese empire, which they’ll build on the ruin of the Azteca empire. That article notes Stuka & Fuego held the belts “over three years.” Five years is definitely over three.

56 luchadors tried out for licensing in Puebla, and 24 were accepted. That sounds like a real test! No names given, just test identification numbers. If you have the right number, you’ve got 20 days to get your medical tests submitted. If you failed, you can apply for a temporary permit and retry again for free in August. (Which doesn’t seem to say much for the meaning of tests.)

Ultimo Guerrero, Mascara Dorada, Angel de Oro, Dragon Rojo, Amapola and Marcela are headed to Ciudad Juarez next Saturday. Ultimo Guerrero seems booked out to spot shows far away from Mexico City every weekend lately.

CMLL Gaceta, which is giving away 2 tickets to next Friday’s show, has a quote from Stuka about being honored to wrestle in a big H2L match. The ending of the article suggests the final card will not be announced until next Friday.

Estrellas del Ring has a text interview with IWRG’s Seiya (from Puebla) and a video interview with Iron Fly.

LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update.
