No sign of Cometa/Namajague but plenty of Fiebre Amarilla/Maya/Delta

Whatever was going on with the minis, if there was anything going on, seems to have been resolved since everyone is appearing again. They’re still not appearing a lot, which just puts us back at where they were the early part of this year.

Which match will randomly appear on 52MX in a few weeks? (Probably women’s match.)

Obviously, the only thing people are talking about today is El Brazo. There’s a lot of remembrances from fellow luchadors on Twitter. AAA has an obit on their website. KrisZ best and most detailed recap of El Brazo’s career. Cronicas y Leyendas writes about the Brazos before/after their mask match, and their three way hair match.

AAA held their press conference for Wednesday’s Heroes Inmortales show. AAA has notes and quotes. There are many Puebla articles about the press conference, which appears to just go over the lineup and give a chance for the local commission to talk about their work. Scoria was present and was not in a sling, so perhaps he’s feeling better. Porra Fresa has photos from the parade around town to promote the show. AAA’s posted interviews with Aerostar & Drago and Angelico & Jack Evans about their hopes to win the tag team title match.

Vengador Radioactivo took Neurona Killer’s mask in Xalapa.

Genesis has been missing from CMLL cards for the last 3 months. I do not recall hearing about a specific injury, but his performance was not where it needed to be.

Lucha Libre USA lives to run another show this weekend in Pomona, California, with announced Main Events of RJ Brewer vs Solar and Hijo del Lizmark vs Super Nova. That would be Nova’s first known match back from a knee injury, though he’s been announced and hasn’t appeared previously.

Hijo del Santo will be appearing in a comedy showcase in November.

Mistico II feels his technical skill is better and his dives are more suicidal than the original.

Lineups

Guadalajara vs DF
4) Blue Panther & Shocker vs Averno & Mephisto
5) La Sombra, Máscara Dorada, Mistico vs Euforia, Gran Guerrero, Último Guerrero

This seems like a more loaded Guadalajara card than usual, with the almost-Estetas versus the Guerreros and a semimain that’s bigger than most of the Sunday main events.

Pequeno Warrior and Fantasy are back together again, so perhaps there’s something to that feud. Rare Reyes del Atlantida team up in the semimain. Volador & Aguila again together in the main event.

Not sure if this is all the matches, but it’s probably pretty close to it. It’s another really interesting lineup with somegood sounding matches.
