CMLL (FRI) 04/16 Arena Mexico
1) Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II vs Apocalipsis & Bronco
2) Bracito de Oro, Eléctrico, Shockercito vs Pequeño Nitro, Pequeño Warrior, Pierrothito
3) Diamante & La Sombra vs Blue Panther & Rey Cometa and Héctor Garza & Pólvora and La Máscara & Sensei and Atlantis & Inquisidor and Disturbio & Terrible and Cancerbero & Mephisto and Rey Bucanero & Semental [Gran Alternativa]
4) Místico vs Felino
I like to think I follow lucha libre closely, and I have absolutely no idea what the plan is for Mistico.
Obviously, Hector Garza & Polvora is the interesting pair of this block, since Garza hasn’t officially turned rudo, or this his first appearance back on the rudo side. I’m hoping he hasn’t actually turned rudo yet, because they still need to get the trios title of him.
Diamante & Sombra looks such the favorite they can’t actually win. Panther/Cometa has a chance and may play into whatever they’re doing with him and the Avernos. They missed a golden chance to team up Cancerbero of the Cancerberos with Averno of the Avernos. Pretty sure Atlantis wont’t win his second tournament of the year. Semental is a sub for Camorra. Or will be at least until Bucanero turns on him, declaring he shall only team with pirates from now on!
CMLL (SUN) 04/18 Arena Mexico
1) Metálico & Trueno vs Cholo & Zayco
2) Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Molotov vs Dr. X, Nitro, Raziel
3) Fuego, Metro, Pegasso vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Euforia, Nosferatu
4) Brazo de Plata, Máximo, Sagrado vs Ray Mendoza Jr., Shigeo Okumura, Taichi
5) Shocker, Strong Man, Toscano vs Atlantis, Último Guerrero, Vangelis
Vangelis Main Event – surely a fan appreciation card if I ever saw one. I think I would rather have 3 over 2 (though Maya is quickly becoming Mr. 52MX), but 4 and 5 are closer to a wash than you’d expect with the rudo side. All Strong Man matches are Strong Man matche. They really should team Porky & Maximo with Strong Man, so there could be a non-comedy match as well.
I’m starting to believe CMLL’s booking of Mistico was all a trick to get Arena Mexico to cheer for him.
That’s called great booking if that was the intention.:) Whereas the other promotion does online polls to decide their future angles…
