CMLL (TUE) 04/07/2015 Arena México [CMLL, Yahoo! Deportes]
1) Mercurio & Pequeño Universo 2000 b Fantasy & Último Dragoncito
Stukita originally replaced Angelito, but it was Fantasy in that spot by the time the match happened. The rudo side started out as Pequeno Universo & Pequeno Nitro, but ended up with double subs. Mercurio pulled Dragoncito’s mask to set up the win.
2) Flyer, Magnus, Robin b Artillero, Disturbio, Súper Comando
Tecnicos were calling this team MFR on social media
3) Cancerbero, Raziel, Sangre Azteca b Oro Jr., Soberano Jr., Star Jr.
4) Virus b The Panther [lightning]
5) Blue Panther, Titán, Valiente b Ephesto, Hechicero, Luciferno
6) Dragon Lee, La Máscara, Stuka Jr. b Euforia, Kamaitachi, Negro Casas
Stuka replaced Dragon Rojo Jr. (injury) on Monday. La Mascara beat Casas with a casita.

Virus and Panther hasn’t been uploaded. CMLL’s Facebook was still promoting Stukita as appearing on this show when another part of CMLL set out a lineup without him. I dunno.

Lucha Underground

Tonight’s episode title is “[spoiler]”. Matches happening include

  • Angelico, Ivelisse, Son of Havoc vs Aerostar, Drago, Fenix in the Lucha Underground Trios Championship Tournament – entrances and first minute or so of the action
  • Super Fly vs Sexy Star
  • King Cuerno vs Prince Puma (c) for the Lucha Underground Championship

They haven’t promoted the last one as of yet. It had a couple problems live, and there’s a bit of logical problem: Striker’s been hitting “wins and losses really matter here!” and Cuerno’s getting a title shot coming off a big loss while Mundo beat him and isn’t getting a shot (at least yet.)

Maybe they’ll explain it during the show. There is a Dario/Puma meeting – they posted a bit of it already, revealing that a Prince Puma led team will also be in the tournament versus another Dario Cueto selected trio next week. That’s the third match in the tournament, with the final coming in two weeks.

The Lucha Temple site theorized Dario Cueto is running a lucha libre promotion to please the Azteca gods. I think it’s 50/50 bet this is correct.

Other News

The main event on a show Sunday in Cuernavaca was Dr. Wagner Jr., Super Brazo, and Shocker versus LA Park, Canek, Hijo del Pirata Morgan. Shocker was filling it for Mr. Niebla (so he didn’t think he’d be back in CMLL at this point), and so it was slightly CMLL vs AAA. Pirata’s still working a lot of indy shows. That show had a 90 minute delay before the main event, with the promoter eventually putting the blame on the commissioner, though he didn’t explain why.

The Perros del Mal promotion will hold a mass in memory of HIjo del Perro Aguayo on April 11th in Mexico City.

IWRG is bringing in Myzteziz on 04/16, and trying a new staggered pricing scheme. The price for the tickets will go up twice before the show, more expensive the later you wait. IWRG’s also running a ruleta de la muerte on 04/19.

Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. will be out a month after his elbow dislocation. He complimented the medical crew that helped him, but complained there was no ambulance at the venue to take him to the hospital – he had to wait until his father was done with the main event to drive him there.

All Elite LA Park & Volador Jr. will team on 04/19.

Marcela is back in New York’s WUW on 04/18. She’s pictured as champion and may be by that point.

Pegasso won the Copa Junior in Arena Coliseo San Ramon.

El Tarotista lost his mask in Xalapa.

Segunda Caida watches a 2000 CMLL Tag Team tournament and some random recent lucha.

+LuchaTV has an Psico Kid challenging Black Terry and interview with Satanico.

Lucha Libre in Japan
