1) Saruman & Tritón ?? Dark Devil & Keshin Black
2) Dinamic Black, Freelance, Golden Magic b Carta Brava Jr., Imposible, Polifacético
3) Black Terry, Multifacético, Trauma II b Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro
Black Terry replaced Argos, and his team won in straight falls. Oficials did rip up Multifacetico’s mask along the way.
4) Bestia 666, Hijo de LA Park, Super Crazy b Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Trauma I, Veneno
Hijo de LA Park replaced Damian 666, who was busy over on the AAA TV taping. It worked out quite well for kid skeleton, as he beat Trauma I and challenged him to a Juniors title match.

Tonight’s Arena Mexico show is the first Friday night show with no tournament match and no special stipulations match since March 4th. The Forjando un Idolo tournament is officially over (though it still continues unofficially.) Averno vs La Mascara is just about over; if Monday is Averno’s last day, this would be his final Arena Mexico appearance for the time being. Both the lightning match (Rey Cometa vs Hijo del Signo) and the fourth match tecnico trio (Valiente, Metal Blanco & Palacio Negro) look fun, but this is the least important card in quite some time.

A Record interview with Atlantis carries the headline “I want to be a tecnico“, though he’s not as definite about it in the article. Atlantis says he was surpised to be on the tecnico side tonight, teaming with his Forajando un Idolo partners against Peste Negra. He alludes to more such tecnico outings in the future and vows to be professional, but he’s not decided if he actually wants to return to the tecnico side full time. His partners are apparently trying to convince him to go back. Atlantis compliments his partners, saying Delta is very popular and Maya is very skilled on the mat and always wants to learn.

Dr. X explains he really wants to take Fuego’s mask, because he’s missed out on other masks he wanted to win. He wanted Hijo del Gladiador, but Rencor Latino won that, he wanted Solar’s mask but Guerrero dle Futuro got that, and he wanted Fabian el Gitano but Angel de Oro took that from him. This is really going to be sad for Dr. X if this turns into another cage match. Fuego‘s ready for the mask match too.

  1. @luis: It looks like he deleted all the posts, which is very disappointing. We might not have agreed on everything, but it was nice to have more people intelligently discussing this stuff.

  2. Dont understand why for some people was wrong that he support CMLL the most when i have seen some people doin the same for AAA like prometeus blog, anyway u never make people happy with what u like or not, seems like a bunch of people was against his blog as he stopped the comment thing from before, good job to all the bitter ones who didnt like what he post

  3. If someone is not able to deal with criticism, he should not express his opinions in public. Anyhow, I hope the blog wil come back. Maybe Cesar is the real name of Semental and he can’t continue blogging about CMLL now that he has changed his employer? ;)
