Espartaco’s debut. Apolo Estrada feuded with Golden Magic, beat him, and wants a title match.
4) Alan Extreme & Veneno b Oficial 911 & Oficial AK47 [IWRG IC TAG]
Veneno & Alan Extreme came in as champions. Oficals took the first, then got caught fouling the rudos in the second. 911 knocked down referee Capu in the third, 911 fouled Alan and covered, and 911 heard someone count three – but it was Veneno, not the ref. Veneno fouled 911 when he went to celebrate and put Alan on top for the win. Second defense.
5) Eterno, Hijo de Máscara Año 2000, X-Fly b Lizmark Jr., Relámpago, Súper Nova
Rudos took 1/3. Nova was about to beat Eterno when X-Fly distracted him, and Eterno took advantage to for the win. Eterno & X-Fly took Nova’s mask after the match.

Black Terry Jr. has photos of Sunday’s Fusion show at Arena Ichiban. Note CMLL fringe roster member Camaleon on the same show AAA fringe roster member Magnifica main evented. These things are happening more often, probably because work is harder to come by.

Rob has a highlight of Valiente & Mascara Dorada’s insane dives from last Friday.

The high fee for the NOAH tryout is to pay for the winner’s ticket to Japan, according to the official release. That seems like something NOAH should be paying for themselves but whatever. Those random Americans mentions as working in Arena Lopez Mateos and AULL are also trying out, and I can only imagine the unhappiness if a non-Mexican won the Mexico NOAH tryout.
