Mexa Wrestling (SAT) 09/19/2020 Arena San Juan Pantitlan, Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl, Estado de México [The Gladiatores]
1) Shere Khan & Zika b Noicy Boy & Rey Halcón
2) Fulgor I & Fulgor II b Alex Black & Mafioso
3) Caballero de Plata b Apolo Estrada Jr.
4) Hija De Gatubela & Séptimo Dragón b Hijo Del Impostor & Universis
5) Galeno del Mal & Hijo Del Espectro b Príncipe Aéreo & Puma de Oro
6) Centvrión & León Dorado b Hijo de Canis Lupus & Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr.
Dorada pulled Wagner’s mask. Los Negociantes and Black Terry attacked Centviron and Leon Dorado after the match.
7) El Diablo Fly Star, Lunatik Xtreme, Sobredosis b Black Danger, Fly Warrior, Toxin
8) Baby Xtreme b Dragón Bane © [IWRG REY DEL AIRE]
Not a lot of details on this one. It reads like the main event was the best match but I’m not sure. The promoters and Mas Lucha seem to have convinced some of the usual bootleggers not to post the show immediately, though I’m sure there are clips somewhere on Facebook if someone looked hard enough.
IWRG (SUN) 09/20/2020 Arena Naucalpan [Mas Lucha, R de Rudo, The Gladiatores]
1) Atomic Star b Legendario 
2) Fulgor I b Black Danger
3) Jessy Ventura & Pasion Kristal b Hijo De Kahoz & Hijo Del Espectro [IWRG IC TAG, #1 Contenders, quarterfinal]
Kahoz betrayed Espectro
4) Dragón Bane b Shun Skywalker 
5) Trauma I & Trauma II b Capo del Norte & Capo del Sur [IWRG IC TAG, #1 Contenders, quarterfinal]
After a ref bump, the former (?) Mascara 2000 Jr. ran in to count a pin for Los Capos in street clothes. The commissioner declared a random man running into the ring to count three was not actually a legal match ending. The match continued 15 seconds more until the Traums won.
6) Toxin © b Puma de Oro [IWRG MEXICO]
first defense. Fulgor I interfered to help Toxin win.
The two singles matches are said to be worth watching. I’m mildly curious if something is up with the Dragon Gate guys since they’ve now handed all their wins back. They were working a lot as the show started up again and now this was their only booking for Skywalker and nothing for Yoshioka.
I think this is the weekend schedule, mostly written out so I can figure out the Mas Lucha shows
Thursday (?????): a Chinampaluchas show with Mesias just announced today
Friday (8:30 pm): CMLL Aniversario on Ticketmaster
Saturday (7 pm): Mexa Wrestling on Mas Lucha Premium channel
Sunday (4 pm): IWRG on Mas Lucha’s free channel (presumably, not yet announced)
Sunady (7 pm): Lucha Libre Real on Mas Lucha Premium channel
Sunday (8 pm): Lucha Libre Vanguardia Facebook PPV (taped by Mas Lucha but not airing on their service)
CMLL has a special edition of Informa today at 4 pm. It’s happening “Por causas de fuerza mayor”, which is often the phrase used in lucha libre when something’s canceled. The Aniversario still appears on; CMLL & Ticketmaster are still selling PPV tickets. That means it’s more likely a match being changed or pulled for the show for some reason.
The popular fan guess is Gran Guerrero is off the show after taking a Canadian Destroyer on Friday and needing a stretcher. I don’t think that’s the issue; that seems pretty safely a worked spot now, and the video he sent out down played it. This seems too big of a deal to be the Marcela replacement (which everyone is assmes to be Dalys.) That is something that’ll probably be thrown in the bigger announcement, but won’t be the announcement itself.
AAA’s own announcement about their AutoLuchas shows comes Tuesday at 11 AM.
Today is Mexico’s Day of Lucha Libre and Luchadors. It’s not so coincidentally the 87th anniversary of then EMLL’s founding; it was Brazo de Oro working with the government which got this proposed back in 2016. (It wasn’t actually law until 2019.) Wrestling in Mexico pre-dates EMLL’s existence but it’s as good a day to celebrate as any.
The day looks to be celebrated by messages on social media and not much more. I don’t know of any luchadors having a lucha libre match in Mexico today, so messages alone feel empty. CMLL will usually celebrate with a special show (where special might just mean “extra ribbons”), but that’s not possible this year. AAA’s gone with a “the real luchadors are those fighting COVID-19“, which is at least a nice sentiment.
Net Noticias has a long profile of lucha libre in Ciudad Juarez in timed for the holiday.
Rayo de Jalisco tells the story of his mask match against Cien Caras, 30 years ago today, from his perspective.
A Milenio article suggests Arena Coliseo Guadalajara may not reopen until 2021. There’s no obvious quote or source where that date is going on, so take it just as a gossip. It does appear CMLL will not be opening this arena or Arena Puebla until they can sell tickets. Jalisco was in orange health condition in the previous update. The next update is scheduled for Friday.
GALLI is advertising Aramis for its 10/04 show, which has no location. There are some nice October weekends around Chicago, there are some brutal ones, and it’s hard to tell until a few days prior, so GALLI might be waiting to see if they can run outside again.
Aramis was announced for the AAW show before the pandemic shut them down and I wonder if he might also be scheduled on their 10/01 PPV. Either way, this is his first week of wrestling in the US since the pandemic.
Diamante regained the Open The Triangle Gate Championship in Dragon Gate, teaming with Takashi Yoshida & Kazma Sakamoto to defeat Dragon Dia, Strong Machine J, and Ben-K. This is his second reign.
Long time Coliseo Coacalco regular Magnifico returned to that arena Sunday. The son of the promoter was a weekly fixture there through 2017 and has only been seen in once match since.
An interview with Mr. Jack restarting lucha libre training mentions Psicosis is currently a fruit vendor with no wrestling work. I presume this is Ripper Psicosis.
Box Y Lucha reports Murcielago Infernal passed away on Sunday. I believe he’s a small show Mexico City area wrestler, but there’s a couple of different wrestlers who’ve used that name.
El Sol de Tampico has a long interview with local luchador Baby Lover, who talks about wrestling as a mini against CMLL luchadors for a time.
Time Out Mexico has a story on the Masked Republic universe of comic books.
