Terra posted the lineup, also announcing they’ll be streaming the show. It appears to be free; there’s no mention of cost. It’s odd you’d tell people you’re giving away the show for free while you’re still selling very expensive tickets, but it hasn’t appeared a lot of people are actually watching the Terra streams. (That’ll probably change this time.) I believe this will be the first CMLL Anniversary show to air video live (in one form or another) since Black Warrior vs Mistico in 2006.
Vangelis working the tercera of the show likely to draw the biggest ticket revenue in the history of the promotion is not something I would’ve guessed. Just as surprising, no Mistico, no Mascara Dorada, no Valiente. There are some gift spots being handed out here.
Tercera has a chance of being very fun with the Negro/Shocker/Rush triangle coming back into play. Opener could be good, but it’s also Ishii’s first match here. Second match could be the Titan showcase, and ensures Averno has a proper second for his hair match.
