I had another post earlier. I may follow up with another post tomorrow, answer some questions. The only update is I thought ROH was not going to say anything about Bandido until he made his onscreen debut, and now it sounds like they may announce it over the next few days. (That change wouldn’t be in response to anything I said.)

CMLL (SAT) 12/15/2018 Arena Coliseo [CMLL]
1) Acero & Aéreo b Mercurio & Pequeño Violencia
tecnicos took 1/3.
2) Halcón Suriano Jr., Oro Jr., Príncipe Diamante b Apocalipsis, Inquisidor, Metálico
Apocalipsis replaced Principe Odin Jr. Tecnicos took 2/3 – Halcon Suriano remains undefeated (2-0)
3) Dalys, La Seductora, Metálica b La Vaquerita, Marcela, Princesa Sugehit
Rudas took 2/3. Metalica used the ropes to pin Sugehit.
4) Templario b Flyer [lightning]
Templario beat Flyer by the same Destoryer Flyer seems to lose to every singles match.
5) Kráneo, Stuka Jr., Volcano b Felino, Máscara Año 2000, Vangellys
tecnicos took 2/3.
6) Ángel de Oro, Niebla Roja, Titán b Ephesto, Luciferno, Mephisto
tecnicos took 1/3.

Metalica/Sugehit would be a mildly interesting title match so it’s good they’re running it on the show I won’t be able to watch.

LLB , Memes , Noba (SAT) 12/15/2018 Arena Naucalpan [+LuchaTV]
1) Black Kraken & Demasiado ?? Divino & Hijo De Brazo De Platino
not listed in +Lucha’s results
2) Baxter & Kid Silver b Chris Stone Jr. & Iron Kid and Freelance & Máscara Mágica Jr.
Chris Stone Jr. replaced Alas de Acero
3) Eterno b Audaz (CMLL)
4) Demus & Fantasma de la Ópera b Gato De Ecatepec & Manchitas
5) Ricky Marvin b Loco Max
6) Mr. Niebla b Zumbido
7) Chico Che b ImpulsoFly StarDragón BaneCanis LupusOptimus (Guerrero)EragónBlack DragónDemonio Infernal [cage, mask, hair]
Chico Che lost his hair to Impulso. During the match, Centvrion & Metaleon (wearing Mexa Wrestling shirts) helped Fly Star out, as part of the build to a Mexa Wrestling vs Memes/Boom show.

Didn’t hear much about the matches. Hope Eterno/Aduaz turns up. The crowd was not strong for a Naucalpan Memes show, but this wasn’t a particularly strong lineup. Again, they’re running a lot – keep scrolling for the next one.

CMLL (SUN) 12/16/2018 Arena México [CMLL]
1) Cholo & Espíritu Negro b Retro & Sangre Imperial
rudos took 1/3.
2) Hijo del Signo, Nitro, Sangre Azteca b Arkalis, Drone, Súper Astro Jr.
Arkalis replaced Starman, who appears to be in the Raziel zone of being listed despite actually being out injured. Rudos took 2/3.
3) Black Panther b Disturbio [lightning]
4) Audaz, Guerrero Maya Jr., Rey Cometa b Sagrado, Tiger, Universo 2000 Jr.
tecnicos took 2/3.
5) Blue Panther, Flyer, Valiente DQ Dragón Rojo Jr., Hechicero, Mephisto
straight falls. Mephisto unmasked Valiente in the second.
6) Cuatrero, Forastero, Sansón b Ángel de Oro, Atlantis, Niebla Roja
NGD took 1/3

Black Panther did the usual post lightning match win. He wants an apuesta match with Disturbio. He’s probably not getting it.

Shocker, in Pachuca for a show, says he’s planning on having another surgery (not said, presumably for his jaw) in 2019. He will out four months and hopes to come back having lost some weight.

6) Multifacetico (Puebla) & Prayer vs Guerrero Maya Jr. & Multifacetico 2.0
7) Gallito Tapatío & Microman vs Chamuel & Guapito

Some of us want to take it easy during December but Mexican wrestling ain’t having it. When you want to draw, you got to bring in the micros. Semimian has the former Mini Multifacetico teaming with his usual Puebla partner Prayer against the current Multifacetico and the previous Multifacetico. Eterno & Imposible have their title match on 12/21 – I had the match but didn’t mark it up as a title one. Fourth match plays off the Dinamitas/Panthers interactions in CMLL. Third is IWRG vs Boom vs Memes vs MexaWrestling.
