CMLL (MON) 06/18/2018 Arena Puebla [CMLL]
1) Guerrero Espacial & Policeman b Black Tiger & Meyer 
rudos took 2/3.
2) Acero, Astro, Asturiano, Stuckita b Joker, Pequeño Universo 2000, Pierrothito, Pequeno Nitro, Saurón
tecnicos took 2/3
3) Amapola & La Seductora b Estrellita & Princesa Sugehit
Rudas took 2/3, Amapola cheating to beat Sugehit. Sugehit demanded a rematch.
4) Esfinge, Fuego, Stigma b Kawato San, Máscara Año 2000, Okumura
Arkangel was honored before the match. Kawato replaced Universo 2000 Jr. Tecnicos took 2/3.
5) Kráneo DQ Rush
Kraneo took 2/3, the last when Rush attacked the referee.
6) Gran Guerrero, Titán, Último Guerrero b Flyer, Soberano Jr., Volador Jr. [Relevos Increíbles]
Straight falls, setting up a Titan/Soberano match.
Soberano/Titan should be pretty good.
They didn’t set up anything in the second match after all; it looks like they’re running Amapola/Sugehit instead. CMLL had run 1 title match (Dalys/Kobayashi) the entire year and now is doing two of them and a cibernetico. I’d think this would be a reaction to something if CMLL booking showed that kind of awareness.
CMLL attempts an Atlantis/Rey Bucanero title match tonight. Bucanero has had few singles matches in rare years, usually trying very hard but looking like a man near the end of his career. He is the better of the two wrestlers coming into this match. CMLL booking this match seems to mean they’re in denial about where Atlantis is physically at this point, or we’re in for a big surprise. I’d take an OK match.
The semi-main has Dragon Lee, Soberano, and Stuka against Ephesto, Mephsito and Shocker in a match that’ll be just as good as the rudos allow it to be. Esfinge, Titan, and Triton face Kawato, Okumura, and Templario. Astral, Electrico and Star Jr. face Disturbio, Espanto Jr., and Virus in the tercera, and there’s two forgettable opening matches.
Lucha Central has a preview of the show, which will air at 7:30pm on CMLL’s YouTube channel.
Daga told R de Rudo that there’s a good chance he’ll wrestle in CMLL. There hasn’t been as much talk about Daga as Fenix & Penta, and he’d probably not mean as much, but there are obvious matches they can do with him.
Tickets are on sale for AAA’s on 07/21 taping in Mexico City. Of note, the show is listed as “Lucha Libre: AAA vs ELITE”. AAA has not explained or acknowledged what their relationship is with ELITE and probably should if they’re running shows using their name. No guarantee they will. Tickets run from 150 to 800 pesos before fees.
A lineup for the AAA Queretaro show was supposed to be announced Monday but has yet to appear.
Rayo de Jalisco Jr. says his son is two years away from debuting. Two years can be an infinite amount of time in lucha libre.
Electrico is studying for a PHD.
Penta’s match in GALLI this Sunday is a four way with locals Gringo Loco, Bandolero and France’s Senza Volto. I know nothing about Volto but he has a good asmk.
Atlantis was interviewed on Azteca’s No Hay Lugar Comun.
Puma King & Barby spend time with their fathers on this week’s video.
+Lucha has interviews with Hijo del Dr. Wagner and a new edition of their podcast.
Segunda Caida watched the 06/01 LA Park/Rush main event.
LuchaWorld has this week’s Poster-Mania.
Lineups
CMLL (SUN) 06/24/2018 Arena México
1) Retro & Sangre Imperial vs Camorra & Príncipe Odín Jr.
2) Arkalis, Magnus, Súper Astro Jr. vs Cancerbero, El Coyote, Nitro
3) Audaz, Pegasso, Tritón vs Misterioso Jr., Puma, Sagrado
4) Dalys © vs Princesa Sugehit [CMLL WOMEN]
16th defense. Sugehit’s 2nd chance.
5) Flyer, Kráneo, Titán vs Rey Bucanero, Shocker, Terrible
6) Euforia, Gran Guerrero, Último Guerrero vs Mistico, Valiente, Volador Jr.
Dalys is unlikely to lose to Sugehit at this point. Flyer’s elevation seems to have stuck Terrible back teaming with his old trio.
