What happened:
UG had Terrible beat with the Pulpo Guerrero but Mascara 2000 distracted the referee. Terrible grabbed the bottom rope on his pin of Ultimo Guerrero. This sets up a singles match between them.
Centella Roja is a rudo now. It is not at all important, but I am noting it happened to note it happened with no explanation. Corsario de Fuego also showed up.
Leobardo Magadan has been announcing the last couple of weeks and appears to be a permanent replacement for Julio Cesar Rivera on these shows. (Maybe because JCR is working Sundays now?)
Thoughts:
Guerreros/NGD was fun while it lasted and told a surprising story about the Dinamitas being the better team than this configuration of the Guerreros, but it is really short. There’s a great match here if they put in the time, and this felt instead like the tournament shorted version of it. It was promising and disappointing at the same time.
Corsario de Fuego is fine, having only one spot but it was with Stigma so I don’t think it even counts. I have no idea how luchadors are chosen to wrestle in Arena Puebla at this point. Corsario de Fuego’s Xalapa is four hours a way and he’s still wrestling there regularly. He’s probably not training with Black Tiger regularly. He doesn’t come across as a young promising guy or the best guy, just a guy. If CMLL is just opening Arena Puebla bookings for people who want to pay their way on, they probably could use more attention for it to get the price up. If it’s just people doing favors for other people, that’s great for them but it isn’t helpful for making the shows entertaining.
