CMLL (TUE) 06/10/2014 Arena México [CMLL, Yahoo! Deportes]
1) Molotov & Robin b Cholo & Inquisidor
Tecnicos took 1/3.
2) Mercurio, Pequeño Nitro, Pequeño Warrior b Aéreo, Bam Bam, Fantasy
Fantasy replaced Stukita on Monday. Tecnicos took 1/3, Pequeno Warrior running from Bam Bam.
3) Misterioso Jr., Sangre Azteca, Skándalo b Pegasso, Rey Cometa, Tritón
Rudos took 1/3.
4) Arkángel de la Muerte DQ Gallo [lightning]
Gallo lost when Arkangel’s mask came off (which Arkangel might have intended to happen, recaps differ.)
5) Ángel de Oro, Fuego, Sagrado b Boby Zavala, Tiger, Vangellys
tecnicos took 2/3
6) Titán, Valiente, Volador Jr. b Ephesto, Mephisto, Puma
Tecnicos took 1/3. Valiente challenged Mephisto to a title match.

Whoever wrote the CMLL recap believes Mephisto is world champion. He’s national champion. Both he and Averno really need to find a new shirt for their gym bags.

Pequeno Warrior and Bam Bam are still feuding here while Pequeno Warrior and Asturiano are feuding in Puebla. Puebla cage matches have been fake outs of late and it might happen again. Or Pequeno Warrior is just screwing around, always possible.

CMLL (TUE) 06/10/2014 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Leo & Metatrón ?? Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno
No finish listed in results.
2) Esfinge, Sky Kid, Smaker b Cancerbero, Espectrum, Raziel
Finish listed as “tecnicos defeated tag team champs.” Tecnicos are tag team champions. I dunno.
3) Kamaitachi, Maléfico, Shigeo Okumura b Hombre Bala, Stuka Jr., Super Halcon
Rudos took 1/3, Malefico beating Stuka.
4) Atlantis, Marco Corleone, Super Porky b Mr. Águila, Rey Bucanero, Terrible
Atlantis replaced Maximo. Tecnicos took 2/3.
5) Gran Guerrero, Shocker, Último Guerrero b La Máscara, La Sombra, Rush
Rudos took 2/3. La Mascara snuck in a foul on Shocker, but Shocker fouled Rush and got the pin.

CMLL’s always loved rudo versus rudo matches, so I would expect a lot more of this.

CMLL (TUE) 06/17/2014 Arena México
1) Bengala & Leono vs Akuma & Apocalipsis
2) Black Panther, Star Jr., Starman vs El Rebelde, Espiritu Negro, Guerrero Negro
3) Estrellita, La Vaquerita, Marcela vs Amapola, Dalys, Zeuxis
4) Dragon Lee, Fuego, Gallo vs Arkángel de la Muerte, Hechicero, Misterioso Jr.
5) Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Volador Jr. vs Cavernario, Herodes Jr., Negro Casas
6) Mephisto © vs Valiente [MEX LH]
Mephisto is champion. 8th defense, rematch from 6 weeks ago in Guadalajara.

Valiente/Mephisto didn’t do much for me last time. Mephisto works very generic championship matches which require a tecnico going crazy (like Mascara Dorada that one time) to really be interesting. They’re likely to work a very similar match, on the assumption that very few people will see both matches. They may be right, which is actually a bad thing.

Three of the final En Busca de un Idolo final four – only missing Cachorro – are listed as working this show a few days before the final. The last two years, the finalist two did not work the prior Tuesday. There’s a lot of En Busca de un Idolo on this card if you include those who didn’t make the final eight.

Gallo/Arkangel continues. Estrellita/Zeuxis feud back? Exists at all? Or maybe Marcela and Zeuxis will just hit each other hard like usual.

1) Brillante & El Divino vs Acertijo & Demonio Rojo
2) Leo, Metatrón, Sky Kid vs Artillero, Magnum, Súper Comando
3) Rey Cometa, Stuka Jr., Tritón vs Maléfico, Sangre Azteca, Virus
4) La Máscara, Máximo, Super Porky vs Kráneo, Mr. Águila, Olímpico
5) Atlantis, Marco Corleone, Titán vs Euforia, Niebla Roja, Último Guerrero

Poster bills Marco’s return. Marco was on yesterday’s show. I dunno.

Tercera could be fun. Stuka and Malefico appear to be feuding. Probably a Stuka title defense in a week or two.
