CMLL’s on cruise control to the 09/02 show, doing the start of build up finishes you’d expect. It’s more notable what they didn’t try to do; there’s no sign of a significant 09/16 match on the horizon. They might not want to distract from the first show, but it’s looking more like the second show will have a tournament or other trophy competition than a second apuesta match of note.
The rest of this weekend is full of shows of note. I feel like I may have written too much about shows of which we may never see, but I might as well do it one more time.
- CaraLucha returns tonight to Arena San Juan, with a main event of Flamita vs Xtreme Tiger. Centvrion & Fly Warrior face Dragon Lee & el Bandido in the semimain, and usual partners Rayo Star & Sky Man have a match for the Mucha Luchas Suprem championship.
- CMLL’s weekly Saturday show has Mistico, Blue Panther and Stuka Jr. against Mr. Niebla, Ephesto and Rey Bucanero in the main event.
- NJPW’s Super J show takes place late tonight/early tomorrow morning Central Time, with a Caristico, Volador and Titan versus Gran Guerrero, Euforia and Ultimo Guerrero main event.
- Lucha Memes debuts in Mexico City on Sunday, with Dragon Lee versus Freelance, Rey Cometa versus Suicida and Virus vs Alberto Rios
- ChilangaMask has an odd collection of matches, including Terrible versus Juventud Guerrera, Xtreme Tiger vs Laredo Kid vs Jason Kincaid, and Ares (Aken) & Impulso vs Dave Crist & Jason Gory.
- MDA in Monterrey holds their second of two anniversary shows with oddly designed main events: Atlantis, Dos Caras and LA Park take on Ciafan, Canek & Rush, as well as father son team Mistico & Pierroth versus La Mascara & Silver King.
Argos, Dr. Karonte Jr. and Caristico beat Euforia, Gran Guerrero and Ultimo Guerrero in Cuernavaca by DQ. Looks like a full house. The DQ set up Euforia/Gran Guerrero vs Argos/Karonte on the next show.
RIOT announced a 09/10 show, Riotmon, in the usual location of Arena LLF in Monterrey.
1: Mascara Dorada vs Ultimo Ninja
2: Los Delicuentes (Galactor & Furor) vs Larry Miranda & Dulce Kanela
DTU has a 09/11 show in Poza Rica, Veracruz.
Celebrity Apprentice premiers on NBC in January. That’s the other show Lucha Underground executive producer Eric Van Wagenen appears on, and Melissa Santos was said to have a role on the show. All the episodes (except the finale) were said to have been taped in between Lucha Underground seasons 2 and 3, so it wouldn’t seem to affect any Season 4 schedule.
Cult Icon compares LA Park and La Parka.
Lineup
CMLL (FRI) 08/26/2016 Arena México
1) Sensei & Starman vs Disturbio & Sangre Azteca
2) Blue Panther Jr., Fuego, The Panther vs Fujin, Okumura, Raijin
3) Soberano Jr. vs Hechicero [lightning]
4) Euforia, Gran Guerrero, Rey Bucanero vs Golden Magic, Sharlie Rockstar, Súper Crazy
5) Pierroth, Rey Escorpión, Rush vs Máximo Sexy, Shocker, Terrible [Relevos Increíbles]
6) Carístico, Dragón Lee, Mistico vs La Máscara, Negro Casas, Último Guerrero
A dream team of tecnicos against strong rudos (should Casas be there) and La Mascara in the main event. Los Ingobernables team up for the second straight week in the fifth match. Maybe they can do a battle to decide who owns the name on 09/16. The Elite guys make a return in the third match, and Soberano versus Hechicero is a good lightning match for both guys. Second match is the 10th Panthers/NJPW match already.
Mucha Lucha Toluca (SUN) 08/28/2016 Arena Naucalpan
1) Príncipe Pantera Jr. vs Duck Black Jr.
2) Diva Virtual & Sexy Violeta vs Ice Ángel & Pink
3) Alas de Acero & Iron Kid vs Boomerang & Fuego Jr.
4) Astro, Rey Piscis, Súper Caló Jr. vs Resplandor, Resplandor Jr., Scorpió 2.0
5) Hijo De Octagon, Hurcan Ramírez Jr., Máscara Sagrada Jr. vs Histeria, Monsther, Scorpió Jr.
Not on IWRG’s site, but is on the promotion’s website and makes a little sense – IWRG’s probably thrilled to rent out the arena rather than put on a show against TripleMania. This is a Toluca promotion and a government sponsored free show.
