CMLL

CMLL will have La Dia de Muertos show obviously on the last day of the Day of the Dead. I haven’t seen the poster for it yet.

Arena Mexico Friday

It was the Blue Panther 40th anniversary show so naturally the main focus was around him. In the second match Mistico, Diamante Azul, and El Valiente basically squashed the team of Negro Casas, Dark Magic, and El Felino. That was weird. So in the Halcon Suriano Copa Blue Panther Jr looked to suffer what was a bad injury. He didn’t even come out for his father’s ceremony, but he worked on Tuesday so my guess it was just a dinger that they were careful with. Angel de Oro ended up winning. Blue Panther, Black Warrior, Panterita del Ring (Who is normally Ephesto), and Euforia defeated Mascara Ano 2000, Sanson, Cuatrero, and Forastero. Panther defeated Mascara in the final fall which is a call back to feuds in the past. The main event was weird, Caristico, Pentagon Jr, and Finlay faced Rush, El Terrible, and Cavernario, but Rush kinda just jobbed out Pentagon. I didn’t understand why that happened unless they’re not gonna use Pentagon much anymore. But Rush and pals won.

Arena Puebla Monday

Really nothing super important happened. They had Dragon Lee in a promo for future up coming events but like, he’s still not voted off that reality show in Mexico, so I don’t get why they’d tease fans like that. El Audaz, Titan, and Triton vs Virus, Templario, and Tiger was a pretty fun match. The match between Diamante Azul, Niebla Roja, and Angel de Oro vs Mephisto, Ephesto, and Luciferno was a weird match too. They were made to look pretty silly and weak in the match and lost in a quick match. The main event was even weird albeit a fun angle. So Rush teamed with Caristico and Mistico to face Los Guerrero’s. The story here was Caristico and Rush kept throwing Mistico in the ring to get beat on and any time he did something good they’d mock him. So Mistico finally went on the apron for Los Guerrero’s after Ultimo asked him too. And the finish of the match was Mistico super kicking Caristico then laying down for Los Guerrero’s for the win. Caristico confronted Mistico after the match but Gran Guerrero and Euforia double pressed him off the top for a proper pin.

Arena Mexico Tuesday

This show had that weird echo like last weeks Tuesday show so I’m guessing attendance issues since they don’t ever release the Tuesday numbers. Blue Panther Jr faced Universo 2000 Jr in a lightning round match which Blue Panther won after they did a proper finish after the botched finisher which was supposed to be a power bomb off the top. But the refs in CMLL are terrible so there’s that. The good news here was that Blue Panther Jr was okay. Blue Panther Sr teamed with Kraneo and Volcano, two of the without a doubt biggest men by hook or crook in CMLL against Mascara Ano 2000, Rey Bucanero, and El Felino. Mascara got his revenge in this match by submitting Blue Panther. Wonder if they continue that program. Main event saw Caristico, Titan, and Stuka defeated Ultimo Guerrero, Euforia, and Cuatrero. It was a nothing match, fun but no implications really.

Friday Show Arena Mexico October 26th

Show will start at 9:30 Pm as usual, links to it can be found on there website or just googling the providers name and you’ll find a stream, but they immediately upload to Youtube anyway. We have a tournament yet again to decide who will face Sanson for what’s translated as the king of the underworld title. The tournament match includes: Guerrero Maya, Esfinge, El Audaz, Black Panther, Triton, Flyer, Cuatrero, Forastero, Templario, Virus, Kawato San, and Tiger. Next match up is Mistico, Angel de Oro, and Niebla Roja vs Dark Magic, Negro Casas, and Cavernario. Let’s hope Oro and Roja treat Mistico better than Rush and Caristico. Speaking of them, in the main event we will see Caristico team up with Diamante Azul and El Valiente against Rush, El Terrible, La Bestia Del Ring. Should be a fun match, not really a huge show in comparison to others though. No outside stars.

Here and There

MLW

Rush will face Sammy Guevara in his debut match. The main event of the show is still Pentagon and Fenix vs LA Park and Hijo de LA Park for the tag team titles. I can’t imagine how well that match would draw in Mexico. There will be more on MLW in the coming weeks leading up to the show. Well, anything Lucha related that is.

Impact

On Thursday October 25th Johnny Impact will face Rey Fenix in a match for the world title. This is said to have been a great match. I did not attend the Impact television tapings because I wasn’t about to stand for three straight nights.

New Japan

Volador and Soberano are 1-3 in the Super Jr tag league. A little upsetting since they’ve looked the most impressive to me and the fans are definitely behind Volador. They faced Bushi and Shingo Takagi. Soberano took the pin to Shingo’s finisher as he’s done a lot on this tour. A few days earlier they lost to Chris Sabin and Kushida with Soberano taking the pin. So like I said not fairing too well unfortunately but they are getting over which is the important thing.

Ring of Honor

Nothing much here. They have their tournament on the cruise and some other stuff, ROH isn’t my jurisdiction but I will just politely say Stuka Jr and Guerrero Maya Jr will join the Global Wars Tour for Ring of Honor.

I can’t believe I made it through a whole write up without going in depth about something LA Park is doing other than the standard mention matches he’s in. Incredible, can’t possibly last forever.

That’s all folks.
