Wotan ran in for the DQ

A busy weekend of shows; Black Terry already has photos/video from the Saturday Kamicazes del Ring show. Centvrion versus Freelance sounds fun.

Lucha Memes (SUN) 07/17/2016 Coliseo Coacalco, Coacalco, Estado de México [+LuchaTV, Black Terry Jr. (Flickr), R de Rudo]
1) Belial & Black Metal b Astrolux & Baby Star
good match
2) Soberano Jr. b Demasiado
3) Rush b Caifan
Hard hitting match. The bottom rope broke, which happened twice on this show. Rush attacked the referee with a chair after the match
4) Freelance b Drastik Boy
5) Corsario Negro Jr. & Drako b Trauma I & Trauma II
draw, crowd wanted one more fall
6) Alas de Acero & Iron Kid b Dowki & Hanaoka
7) Aramis b Sádico
good match

Rush & Caifan sounds like a very strong fight. Rush came in from Saltillo on Saturday, took off from here to head to Monterrey.

LLDLJ (SUN) 07/17/2016 Arena Victoria, Ecatepec, Estado de México [+LuchaTV, Black Terry Jr. (Flickr)]
1) ? ?? ??
2) Fulgor I & Fulgor II b Fly Danger & Moria
3) Sádico b Fandango, Rey Celestial
4) Kilvan, Shadow, Yoruba b Andy Boy, Fulgor I, Fulgor II
The Fulgors replaced Danger King & Guerrero Mixtico.
5) Brole, Mini Multifacético, Prayer b Arez, Belial, Impulso and Centvrión, Fly Warrior, Látigo
Los Heavy Style, after their win, proposed a rematch with one hair or mask on the line with each team.
6) Wotan b Terremoto Negro [super libre]
mask challenges followed
7) Fly Warrior b Ludark Shaitan [bull terrier]
Fly Warrior replaced La Magnifica (double booked in Arena Azteca?) and won.

Magnifica worked a midcard match Arena Azteca Budokan; no idea if she just couldn’t make it to Ecatepec in time or decided not to make both, but never good idea to miss an advertised main event.

IWRG (SUN) 07/17/2016 Arena Naucalpan[+LuchaTV, The Gladiatores]
1) Dragón Fly & The Tiger b Demonio Infernal & Skanda
Demonio Infernal seemed to be pinned for only two but counted for three.
2) Leo, Mike, Rafy © b Apolo Estrada Jr., Eterno, Relámpago [EdM Trios]
second defense
3) Chicano, Pantera, Veneno b Herodes Jr., Toscano, Trauma I
Veneno and Trauma II are feuding.
4) Hijo De Dos Caras b Danny Casas © [IWRG JUNIORS]
Dos won the title for the first time, cheating to win (and apparently cementing himself as a rudo.) Danny falls on his first defense.
5) Canis Lupus DQ Trauma I
one fall, winner gets 50K persos. Trauma I fouled Canis Lupus.
6) Máscara Año 2000 Jr. b Mr. Electro [hair]
Bleeding and weapons from the start. Mr. Electro took the first, Mascara the second. Both men used beer bottle shots in the third, with the ref getting taken out by an errant one. Mascara used one more, and a second ref came in for the finish. Electro last lost his hair in 2014 and has now lost his last six apuesta decisions.

IWRG is being built on blood and heavyweights right now and this had both. It should air tonight on AYM. Photos show Mr. Electro still has quite a bit of hair backstage, but perhaps they shaved it off later.

CMLL’s back on streaming tonight in Puebla, with a strange show as the Arena Puebla 63rd Anniversary show. The main event is Negro Casas & Shocker defending the tag titles against La Mascara & Sharlie Rockstar. Negro Casas is one of the great wrestlers of all time but I’m not sure he can pull of that match. The better tag match will probably be Atlantis & Ultimo Guerrero versus Volador & Rush, another rematch from last week. There’s three 2v2 matches on the show, including a Black Tiger & King Jaguar versus Ares & Disturbio to continue that feud.

The rest of the show is random trios. Maximo teams with Stigma and Valiente against Dragon Rojo, Rey Escorpion and a much higher than usual Skandalo. There’s a women’s trios with Estrellita, La Vaquerita, Lluvia versus Dalys, Reyna Isis, and Zeuxis. The opener includes the debut of Heredero, Malayo, Hijo del Signo versus Arkalis, Meyer and Rey Samuray.

The show airs on CMLL.com & YouTube at 9pm CT.

Box Y Lucha 3242 has Rush & Mascara Dorada on the cover. Rush might have saved his career, or at least helped it a lot, by continuing that fight against LA Park. If he stops fighting after Edgar calls the DQ, it “proves” every fan complaint about inflated CMLL favorites being gifted victories. Disregarding the win put Rush above it.

While visiting Atlanta, Pentagon Jr. added another title. His current championships include but are not limited to the AAA Latin American championship, the Atlanta Mucha Lucha championship, and the Perros del Mal Light Heavyweight championship.

Cross Arm Breaker reviews LA Park vs Rush in Tijuana and in Elite. Elite seriously needs to rent Palacio de los Deportes, book that match, book whatever else, charge high prices, and then count all the money.
