I have this show recorded but haven’t seen it yet. It sounds like the title match was worth seeing and the rest is safe the skip. No update on Cavernario. He’s not booked on a CMLL card again until next Friday. He might have gotten cut on the stage dive, since Cometa was wearing his belt for it – the only other thing he took was a tope, and seemed like he was off by that point. His injury might have put whatever was happening with him and Cometa on hiatus. No sign of another big match for the Gran Prix show.

Mistico says he wants a mask match with La Mascara too.

CMLL (TUE) 06/21/2016 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Capitán Cobra & Johnny Dinamo vs Linterna & Mr. Apolo
2) Oro Jr., Pegasso, Stigma vs Metálico, Sangre Azteca, Skándalo
3) Ángel de Oro, Esfinge, Tritón vs Furia Roja, Hechicero, Sagrado
4) Diamante Azul, Rush, Titán vs La Máscara, Rey Bucanero, Vangellys
5) Ephesto, Luciferno, Mephisto © vs Atlantis, Máximo Sexy, Mistico [MEX TRIOS]
5th defense

Title change seems unlikely: tecnico side is random, and Mistico already has a different trios title. Furia Roja/Esfinge continues in the tercera.

CMLL (FRI) 06/24/2016 Arena México
1) Shockercito & Stukita vs Mercurio & Pierrothito
2) Fuego, Guerrero Maya Jr., Titán vs Bobby Z, Puma, Tiger
3) Zeuxis © vs Princesa Sugehit [MEX WOMEN]
Zeuxis 5th defense.
4) Rey Cometa, Súper Porky, Valiente vs Cavernario, Felino, Mr. Niebla
5) Kushida, Marco Corleone, Mistico vs La Máscara, Shocker, Terrible
6) Atlantis, Diamante Azul, Volador Jr. vs Sam Adonis, Tama Tonga, Tangaroa

“Tangaroa” is “Tanga Roa” elsewhere, so maybe they’ll fix the spelling next week. Semimain seems like a waste of a Kushida match. Cometa/Cavernario carries on in the fourth match. Sugehit seems like she has a chance of winning. Second match could be pretty good and the opener has a Stukita appearance.
