Thunder’s Arena Mexico debut. He was pinned in the first fall, but helped the tecnicos take 2/3. Thunder pinned Terrible with a powerbomb in the third.

Atlantis used the Atlantida to take the first, Ultimo Guerrero also used the Atlantida to win in the second. UG went for a foul in the third, Atlantis blocked, and UG pulled his mask for the DQ.

CMLL’s also posted highlights of Thursday’s press conference, though they didn’t include the title match contract signing.

El Hijo del Santo’s TxT show today. He’s been doing a lot of mainstream press for the show this past week. Santo still gets the respect of an important top star by those who casually follow lucha libre and needs all he can get from that. I checked tickets last night, and could’ve bought one in the third row. In one interview, Santo specifies this is the first of eight shows scheduled for this year, and blames CMLL cutting ticket prices hurting the DF market. CMLL hasn’t done the Fan Appreciation cheap ticket price deal much in the last year, but I’d imagine it’s coming back at least for the Kid’s Day show next month. There’s been no hype  of Nieto del Santo in any interview; perhaps his impending debut is being saved for today’s show.

Guerrero Maya Jr. was very interested to hear about Black Terry coming to CMLL, for the Arena Coliseo Anniversary show.  Guerrero Maya Jr. notes he had a bitter rivalry with Terry back when he was known as Multifacetico, and would be very interested in getting one more match with him to end it for all. Black Terry is already booked for that show, but Maya put out an invitation for him to stick around a little longer.

The Gladiatores recap of Thursday’s night Fenix/Dinamic Black explains the finish might have not gone right. Dinamic Black gave Fenix a Canadian Destroyer, referee Grillo counted two, stopped, then counted three. No one was sure what that meant, so they did an armbar submission to make sure it was over.

CMLL Gaceta’s preview of Sunday’s Arena Coliseo show includes Rey Bucanero talking about his return from injury. The article calls him ex-NWA Light Heavyweight Champion, but he’s was never stripped of the title during his seven month absence as far as anyone can tell. Possibly just a typo.

Shocker & Aguila are now feuding on Tuesdays and Fridays. Maybe a singles match on Friday April 12 (first week of Gran Alternativa) and a trios title match on a Tuesday?

One thought to “Ultimo Guerrero takes Atlantis’ mask, TxT, Maya vs Terry?”

  1. “2) Pegasso, Starman, Tritón vs Arkángel de la Muerte, Nitro, Skándalo”

    You may think ‘hey I’ve seen this match on Friday twice already!’ as I did but you’d be wrong. Same tecnico team has teamed twice against the Tuereg twice in the past couple of months (Oct 26/12 & Feb 22/13) but the first match was against Arkangel/Hooligan/Skandalo & the second match was against Hooligan/Nitro/Skandalo.

    My point is there may be a method to the hat’s madness after all!
