tecnicos took 1/3.
6) Felino, Kráneo, Último Guerrero b Ángel de Oro, Dragón Lee, Niebla Roja
Felino replaced Rey Bucanero on Tuesday. Kraneo got along with his teammates enough for them to win. Rudos took 1/3, UG sneaking in a foul on Niebla Roja to set up a title match next week.

Kraneo working as a normal rudo menas whoever booked this show didn’t know they were turning him eight days ago. La Guerrera introduces herself in a promo, and there are also some from Drone, Hechicero, Blue Panther, Kraneo, and Niebla Roja.

CMLL (SUN) 04/15/2018 Arena México [CMLL]
1) Magnus & Retro b Apocalipsis & El Coyote
tecnicos took 1/3.
2) Misterioso Jr., Sagrado, Virus b Magia Blanca, Pegasso, Star Jr.
Rudos took 2/3.
3) Dragón Rojo Jr., Hechicero, Pólvora b Blue Panther Jr., Drone, The Panther
Rudos took 1/3.
4) Blue Panther DCOR Rey Cometa [lightning]
another lightning match draw, this time both being counted out after a Cometa dive.
5) Ángel de Oro, Niebla Roja, Soberano Jr. b Cuatrero, Forastero, Sansón
tecnicos took 2/3, then challenged for the national trios titles. NGD accepted.
6) Atlantis, Dragón Lee, Volador Jr. b Luciferno, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero
Lucifierno replaced Ephesto. Tecnicos took 2/3.

Post match promos from this show are Magia Blanca, Blue Panther, and the team of Soberano, Angel de Oro & Niebla Roja. Do you think the people in charge of making matches for CMLL realize they’re running the same basic feud on Sunday and Monday, just with Soberano swapped out for Dragon Lee? I think they might know but don’t actually care. Better question is why they’re setting up matches for the 22nd when they have a big show on the 29th.

The draws in the lightning matches are probably related to doing only same band matches.

CMLL’s Ticketmaster says the 62nd Arena Mexico Anniversary show tickets run from 612 to 173 MXN. ($34 USD to $9.50). That figures to be Seductora/Sugehit but we’ll find out Wednesday.

The Crash (SAT) 04/14/2018 Auditorio de Tijuana, Tijuana, Baja California [+LuchaTV, Lucha CentralTJ Sports, Zona Ruda]

Christi Jaynes took the pin, but challenged Lacey Lane to a title match.

Mr. 450 pinned Daga with help from Lacey Lnae.
5) Garza Jr. b Bestia 666Penta Zero M Bestia 666 vs Garza Jr vs Penta Zero M (posted by Lucha Libre De Tijuana) Facebook video (posted by )
The Rebelion Amarilla teammates worked together for most of the match. Garza won via foul. Daga tried to make the save post match but was helped back by security, and they teased Bestia/Garza vs Penta/Daga in an apuesta match.
6) LA Park b The King Facebook video (posted by ) L.A. Park vs Rey Fenix (posted by Lucha Libre De Tijuana)
Good match. Rey Fenix (The King) praised LA Park after the match, and LA Park told him to tell his brother (Penta) that he wants a mask vs mask match.

A female fan got taken out during the Park/Fenix crowd brawling. It doesn’t sound like it was serious. The match went well otherwise. Odd that Bandido & Flamita win the tag titles on the last show and then took the pin on this one, but it’s a lucha promotion so titles aren’t going to make much sense.

The Crash announced their next show will be on May 19th and will include a tribute to Hector Garza. Mesias & Caristico will appear on the show.

Diario.MX has an article on actress Andrea Escarlona, who will soon be appearing in a telenovela as an AAA luchadora. This is not the show AAA has been working with Space. It’s instead a different show called “Y Mañana Será Otro Día… Mejor” for Televisa that’ll be 70 episodes long. Escarlona plays “Lydia ‘Estrella Fugaz, La Quebranta Corazones.'” It reads that show has wrestling scenes – she’s been training with Latin Lover – but that may all be a subplot in a show that’s not specifically wrestling focused.  The show starts on Monday but you can’t get me to watch this one.

Ace Austin beat Lokillo to win the DTU Alto Impacto title tonight in Acapulco. Draztick Boy seems to have missed the entire tour.

Black Terry Jr. has photos of the Saturday a Super Astro show, where Pierroth was honored.

Lucha Sorpresa has recent match recommendations.
