SuperLuchas #443 has LA Park with his new title and “El Consejo”. They’re not publishing again until 01/09.

Rob has highlights of 1/17/11 Puebla.

AAA has a taping on Tuesday, and they haven’t put out a card yet. That’s different. At least it’s not actually Monday.

  1. Is there any way anyone other than Marco wins the belt? I mean logically you would probably want a rudo to win b/c there’s more interest in Marco chasing the belt than defending it but the people in charge of CMLL are too dumb to figure that out. I assume the prestigous crowning will be a < 3 minute match?

    I wonder if IWRG changed the stips of the tag match to try and get two gates out of two mask losses? Maybe the winning team ends up having a mask match the following week. IWRG usually doesn't care about that stuff but you never know.

    What happened to Multifacetico? He was the golden boy for a while then suddenly lost his mask and position. Now he works in segundas in an ugly outfit. What's up with that?

  3. @Rob – I would agree with you on Marco chasing a guy like Terible would be logical, but CMLL had a chance to have Garza drop the belt on the way out and they didn’t do it, so I wouldn’t bank on booking logic.

    Besides, when you have a dozen champions they aren’t going to run a chase angle. They *should*, but they probably won’t. Personally, I’d like to see Terible get it. He is underrated.

    The RI for Traumas & Oficials is disappointing, but should still be an awesome match. I would have to think an Oficial mask is going down, no?

    And that Neza match with Sugi & Traumas should be good.
