Mexico preview, Samurai del Sol

No IWRG show after all. There are holidays that annually slip my mind, this is one of them.

Tonight’s Arena Mexico show is headlined by a rematch of last week’s main event, Guerreros vs Goto, Volador, Garza. The focus has been on Ultimo Guerrero vs Hirooki Goto, and we’d expect something to be set for that next week. In Forjando un Idolo, Rey Cometa and Escorpion battle to avoid elimination, and Palacio Negro and Angel de Oro wrestle for control of their group.

Samurai del Sol updates his health status: he never lost consciousness, X-Rays came out okay, but he’s going to be in a neck brace for a month to be on the safe side. He hopes to be back in DTU for their lucha libre expo show. There’s video of the injury on YouTube (that account has a lot of clips from the show), and I think he just flew a lot farther than they were expecting.

Puma King has a plan to advance yet: he needs to beat Hijo del Signo and get people to vote for him to get a bonus point. He’d also need Diamante to beat Hombre Bala, but that would put him in second. He needs some friends to vote for him first, though.
