bloody match. Flama Roja did a dive off the first balcony. Latigo & Toro Negro are still making mask challenges.
5) Daga b Rayo Star
6) Danger b Cíclope, Joe Lider, Wotan

Attendance seemed down from recent shows, which have been on more competitive nights. There weren’t as much indie shows. Indie promotions run hardcore matches – like the main event – because they usually draw well but this didn’t work for whatever reason.

CMLL (SAT) 03/12/2016 Arena Coliseo

3) Hombre Bala Jr. b Akuma

Gran Guerrero and Soberano’s were seconds. Guerrero took 2/3, the last with the Guerrero Special, to retain the title. Money thrown in. fourth defense for Ultimo Guerrero. Atlantis is currently Mexican Light Heavyweight Championship

Main event sounds like it went pretty well. Attendance looked about normal; you’d have to be a dedicated fan to know anything out of the ordinary was happening.

Elite posted phone video of the segundatercera (part 2), fourth, fifth and main event – the last three are more complete than the first couple. This show returns back to Arena Mexico next week, though your guess is as good as mine as which brand is running it.

Juarez legend Cinta de Oro passed away. He was 51 and had just wrestled Saturday. He, along with Rocky Star, were local stars during the great period for lucha libre in the 80s and 90s. Alfredo has more on Cinta de Oro in the Lucha Report.

Sangre Nueva Jr., 28, also passed away due to a heart attack on Tuesday. He’s Mascarita 2000 Jr.’s son, who had wrestled around Mexico State a bit.

Pentagon Jr. won the Perros del Mal Light Heavyweight Championship in Atlanta.

Black Terry Jr. has photos from the RIOT show Saturday night.

RobViper has highlights of 08/28/15 CMLL

R de Rudo has photos from the Hijo del Perro Aguayo photo exhibit.

This week’s Box Y Lucha (#3225) has the Homenaje a Dos Leyendas matches on the cover.
