Cuatrero & Sanson fouled Gran Guerrero, then UG was caught unmasking the NGD members.
So they did this tournament and then they didn’t have a good finish. The good thing is they also hurried the last few matches because the show was going long, so it’s not like they were messing up an enjoyable thing. That’s a safe bet with Arena Puebla.
I’m a bit suspicious the Volador feud was meant to be with Cavernario and that it still may end up that way if he’s available next Monday. On the other hand, that counting I just did showed Cavernario doesn’t work many Mondays so maybe they won’t get him there for that. I’m unsure if CMLL is doing a special card for the Puebla (and Guadalajara) H2L shows, but the Stigma/Okumura match could end up there.
Los Guerreros face Atlantis Jr., Stuka Jr. and Valiente in tonight’s Arena Mexico main event. There’s no feud being followed up from last week. Rey Cometa and Tiger meet in a lightning match, the only really interesting thing on the undercard. The show streams at 7:30 pm.
Guadalajara has Caristico, Volador and Diamante Azul scheduled against NGD. Which NGD member will get DQed?
Hechicero says fans come up to him constantly to tell him he should be a main eventer in CMLL. He says he doesn’t complain, just does his work in the ring.
Arena Rey Bucanero is running Blue Panther vs Virus on Saturday. Those shows have been covered by +Lucha and Hector Godfrey in the past.

Arez vs Titan alone is enough to check out the show, though it seems politically near impossible to do.

- Trauma I & Trauma II vs Metaleon & Centvurion – new

Vampiro’s Nail In The Coffin documentary will be airing as part of Toronto’s Canadian Film Fest on Friday, March 27th at 7 pm. Vampiro’s mentioned recently that the movie will eventually be available digitally.
AAA held a press conference to talk about their 04/05 (non-televised) show in Texcoco. There was no news on there beyond the lineup; the minis in the opener changed but that’s about it. I’m guessing the press conference was just part of the promotional deal.
Ultimo Guerrero debuts in Pro Wrestling Revolucion on 04/18.
On the +Lucha podcast, Jose Manuel Guillen had some notes of the AAA show in Tonala
- It was 80-85% full despite the late change
- The Fenix/Penta match was a tag title defense, though there was no belt presentation or anything else indicating it was one after the match. (The Spanish announcers did say it was defense after, though the English announcers did not, which suggests that was a late change.)
- Puma & Taurus were not seriously hurt after their table spot.
- Guillen mentioned he’s not going to WrestleMania because AAA has TV that weekend. That’d seem to make it three straight weeks with TV – Merida, then (I think) Torreon on 03/28 and another on 04/04.
- AAA is headed to Monterrey in June
Guillen also mentioned they’ll be covering the Arena DTU inauguration show.
Konnan Big & Fresero Jr. got into in a Multimedios show. Also, Konnan Big talks about how he fills up buildings where ever he goes but he also promised his mom he wouldn’t wrestle again.
LuchaWorld has this week’s Poster-Mania.
Lineups
It’s really weird to have a Lineups section when I’m also putting lineups up there. Not sure if there’s a better idea to do that.
CMLL (SUN) 03/01/2020 Arena México
1) Retro & Robin vs Cholo & Príncipe Odín Jr.
2) Arkalis, Magnus, Starman vs Disturbio, El Coyote, Grako
3) Audaz, Dulce Gardenia, Flyer vs Dark Magic, Espíritu Negro, Vangellys
4) Valiente vs Rey Bucanero [lightning]
5) Kráneo, Stuka Jr., Stuka Jr. vs Hechicero, Mephisto, Terrible
6) Cuatrero, Forastero, Sansón vs Ángel de Oro, Niebla Roja, Soberano Jr.
Starman hasn’t been seen here since last July 2018. He’s not shown up on indies often either. Maybe he’s a late call to replace Magia Blanca?
AAA , EMW (FRI) 03/13/2020 Auditorio de Tijuana, Tijuana, Baja California
1) Black Destiny, Fantastik, Rayo Star vs Carta Brava Jr., Mocho Cota Jr., Tito Santana
2) Hijo Del Vikingo, Myzteziz Jr., Octagón Jr. © vs Jordan Oliver, Kotto Brazil, Myron Reed [AAA TRIOS]
2nd defense
3) Puma King & Xtreme Tiger vs Filthy Tom Lawlor & Garrini
4) Laredo Kid vs Alex Hammerstone © [MLW OPENWEIGHT]
5) Mortiz & Pagano vs Mance Warner & Savio Vega
6) Averno & Chessman vs Gino Medina & Richard Holiday
7) Rey Escorpión & Texano Jr. vs Brian Pillman Jr. & Davey Boy Smith Jr.
8) Nicho el Millionario, Niño Hamburguesa, Psycho Clown vs Hijo de LA Park, LA Park, LA Park Jr.
This is an MLW TV taping, which means there will usually be more than just these eight matches. Expect some people working twice in short squash matches for angle purposes. Laredo Kid is possibly the only person in title matches with Alex Hammerstone and Kenny Omega in back to back weekends but I’m not going to check. The trios title match could be very good.
