The Producer and definitive Mr. KOPW 2020 is still working on keeping the 2021 trophy, but the King of Darkness wants it for his own! Will Yano see it coming when Everything is Evil? Or will Darkness Fall, and take a loss?
Now, what makes this “YTR Style?” Well, instead of starting with blindfolds, the goal is to put one on your opponent before getting a pinfall or submission! Without a blindfold, falls won’t count! That said, the introductions are made, the KOPW trophy is presented, and we’ll see who can win by blinding the other!

Yano has all but disappeared and the count reaches 10 of 20! Fans rally as the count continues, but where is Yano? We’re at 15 of 20 again, Yano appears out the one side and gets in at 18! Evil stomps Yano for somehow saving himself, and then drags him up. Evil runs, but Yano dodges!? How?!
Wait, how did no one notice those GIANT eye holes he cut in the bag?! It’s less a blindfold and more a mask now! Yano rakes Evil’s eyes and whips him into the bare corner!

Dick goes up the ramp and backstage as Evil and Yano are facing a standing count. The fans rally for “Y T R!” as we reach 9, but both men take the blindfolds off and sit up! The ref lets them get to their feet, Evil kicks and runs, but into an atomic drop!
Yano trips Evil to catapult him into bare buckles! Yano gets a blindfold, puts it on Evil, but the lights go out! DICK!! That’s what he’s up to! Evil gets his Darkness Match after all!

Cover, TWO!?! Yano survives and Evil is shocked! Evil gets Yano’s legs and steps through for the SCORPION DEATHLOCK! Yano endures, and doesn’t even realize he’s so close to the ropes because of the blindfold! Fans rally for him and Yano reaches out, but Evil drags him away! Yano endures, but Evil sits deep!
Yano gets the blindfold off, and that’s the same as a ropebreak under YTR Rules! Evil lets go but the damage has been done. Evil says he’ll finish this now, and he puts the blindfold back on.

Winners: Roppongi 3K, by pinfall (still IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions)
The shout-out to Roppongi Vice wins it for Sho & Yoh! They prove that they’re going to continue right where they left off when they had to give these belts up! But Desperado stares Yoh down, non-verbally telling him not to get ahead of himself before thinking he can be Mr. Junior Heavyweight. Sho gets the mic and says, “Good evening, Kagoshima!” Thanks to their power, RPG3K defended their belts against Kanemaru & Desperado, so he thanks the fans for that. The Junior Tag titles are with RPG3K right now, but they’re not done fighting! Isn’t that right, Yoh?
Sho hands the mic to Yoh, and Yoh says, “That was a tough one, but we pulled it off. Thanks for your support. But it isn’t done with this defense. Coming up is the big festival, Dontaku in Hakata. I want these good vibes to continue to flow.” Yoh then wants him AND Sho to “go at it for the singles belt.” Sho nods and likes that idea. Tonight, Yoh will let Sho close this out. He hands the mic back to Sho, and Sho says, “After today, Kagoshima has once again become a very special place for us. Thank you all so much!” Kagoshima, from here on out, RPG3K and NJPW will “increase the voltage!” Will these two pump it up to 11 and take over the entire Junior Heavyweight Division?
My Thoughts:
A very good event as part of a two night Wrestling Satsuma. Yes, I skipped the first few matches, and I feel like the only thing I missed was Taichi sending a message to Guerrillas of Destiny by bringing out a ladder for what I believe is going to be a ladder match for the iron fingers. The 8 Man Tag was very good, LIJ losing was actually quite the surprise to me, but I suppose the United Empire needed to win. It makes sense, with Ospreay VS Takagi one more time, now for THE IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, is awesome, and all the momentum going into it will make it even better. Takagi will lose, I’m sure, and Ospreay will use that momentum to go against Okada one more time in another epic showdown.
Yano VS Evil was hilarious! The KOPW series is great, all the best parts of goofy, comedic, overbooked pro-wrestling, and that is why Yano wins again and again. As far as comedy wrestling goes, that was no less than 5 stars. I don’t know who is next for Yano, but I am sure it will be another instant comedy classic. Who knows who will take that trophy off of Yano, but that match is going to be awesome. The Junior Tag title match was great stuff, too, a really strong and of course serious match, and it makes a lot of sense for RPG3K to retain. Assuming Yoh doesn’t win the singles title off Desperado, RPG3K can still go on quite a run with the tag titles, making up for lost time.
My Score: 8.9/10

Hangman Page is here!
Mexico City fires up for the Blackhat Cowboy as he makes his way into Arena Mexico for the first time! Hangman has a mic to say, “Hola! Mi nombre es Hangman.” And he asks they excuse his Espanol, it isn’t the best. But Hangman knows that like most White people, he’ll do his best. His familia used to grow tobacco, and they were hard workers. And they had employees who were hard workers, from right here in Mexico City. Those men were also like family! He is thankful that the people of Mexico have invited AEW into their home tonight! The fans cheer, and Hangman thanks them for the collaboration of AEW & CMLL. This is the best pro-wrestling in the world!
Hangman continues by saying that he also wants to make it known about AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley, that while Hangman is not wrestling tonight, and that he is not allowed ringside later tonight for the main event… He will find Moxley after! And Excalibur apologizes, the last part definitely can’t be translated for the sake of the broadcast. The fans still cheer Hangman on, they wanna see that #CowboyS*it. Hangman adds that once again, he is thankful for letting them be here in Arena Mexico. Now, let the action begin! The fans cheer as Hangman heads out, will The Cowboy get his hands on The Maniac before the night is over?
14 Man Tag: Hechicero, Volador Jr, Dax Harwood & The Don Callis Family VS Adam Cole, Brody King, Daniel Garcia, Bandido, Templario, Atlantis Sr. & Atlantis Jr!
Well, they always say, “Card subject to change.” Cash Wheeler is not able to make it, but Lance Archer and “The Predator,” Volador Jr, take his place! Then on the other side, the OG Atlantis jumps in! Will things only end up crazier to start off Grand Slam?
As Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out, #BigStoke has a mic and he has them cut the music. Stokely has some good news and some bad news. Bad news: Due to circumstances beyond his control, Cash Wheeler cannot be here tonight. That’s the bad news. The good news is, one half of FTR is here tonight in the great Dax the Ax! And hey, Stokely has been working on his Espanol all day. “Grassy ass, thank you!” Still messed it up… But with that, the rest of Team Rudo make their way out, starting with Volador, followed by the Don Callis y Hechicero.
On the other side, ROH World Champion Bandido leads the way for his team, followed by Templario and the Atlantis father and son. Then Brody King and Daniel Garcia follow, saving TNT Champion, Adam Cole, for last! The fans join in for the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” These massive teams sort out, and Bandido steps up against the Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita. The fans fire up behind the Most Wanted while he and Konosuke circle. They approach, Konosuke trips Bandido and things speed up. Bandido stays low, then hurdles, but Konosuke leaps over.

Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Mark Briscoe!
The Rainmaker has a Winner Takes All match with long-time rival, Kenny Omega, but he crossed a line! Not only has Okada joined Don Callis just to stick it to The Cleaner, but Okada hospitalized Omega with a brutal attack to the stomach!

The ref counts again, Briscoe stops at 4, and he whips corner to corner. Okada reverses but Briscoe goes up and out.
Okada runs up but Briscoe blocks a shot to ROCK Okada! Briscoe then RAMS into Okada, throws him out of the ring, and then DIVES! Direct hit and the fans fire up!

The fans boo as Okada aims with the belt! BELT SHOTÂ to the ribs!! And then BELT SHOT to the head!! Callis & Okada stomp away on Briscoe, then they leave him behind. Another message sent to not just Kenny Omega but to anyone who would dare defy them. Will Okada go from Continental Champion to Unified Champion after going All In?
MJF w/ The Hurt Syndicate VS Mistico!
The Scumbag only ever does or uses something when it benefits him, and being extremely patriotic for the United States only seems to happen when he wants to stick it to someone not from the United States. MJF waves Ol’ Glory while he, MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin walk down to the ring, but will he have to wave the white flag of surrender here tonight? Or will MJF somehow screw over the arguably greatest and most beloved man in CMLL?
In fact, to counter MJF being an American idiot, Mistico takes off his Sin Cara mask to reveal the colors of Mexico’s flag and therefore the colors of his people. He also has Me Muero as his theme, and the fans all know that one! The bell rings and the two circle while the fans rally behind Mistico. The two tie up, MJF SHOVES Mistico away, and then MJF soaks up the heat. MJF mockingly claps and then says up theirs! MVP tells MJF to worry about Mistico, not the fans. The fans tell MJF off and MJF tells them to shut up. MJF and Mistico tie up, Mistico SHOVES MJF, and Mistico eggs MJF on! MJF gets up, he and Mistico circle again, and they tie up. MJF kicks low and grins.
MJF brings Mistico around to headlock but Mistico fires body shots. Mistico powers up and out, then CHOPS! Mistico winds up and the fans rally, and he knuckle locks before he CHOPS again! Mistico goes up, up, and he tightrope walks to FLYING ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Mistico then hits a CODE RED! Cover, TWO! MJF bails out but Mistico builds speed! Mistico handsprings to fake MJF out! MJF thinks he’s smooth for running away, but then MVP tells him to focus on Mistico, not on the fans. MJF says he knows, and he eggs on Mistico. Mistico runs out there to chase MJF, but then the Hurt Syndicate stands in the way!
The fans boo, Mistico wags his finger, and he tells them to part. MJF runs up to ROCK Mistico first! The fans boo but MJF high-fives his guys. MJF says, “Easy! Too easy!” MJF puts Mistico in the ring, smirks while the fans call him more names. MJF swivels his hips, then runs up, but Mistico dodges the knee drop! Mistico runs up to RANA! The fans fire up and Mistico has MJF in a corner. MJF wants mercy, but Mistico says nope! Mistico runs up, but MJF YANKS him into buckles! MJF stomps away on Mistico, then goes to the other end to stand on the corner. MJF soaks up heat as he does the Pledge of Allegiance!
The fans boo, and MVP again reprimands MJF, he needs to be about business, not about trolling! MJF goes back to Mistico, drags him up, and he brings Mistico around, but Mistico JAWBREAKERS! Mistico runs, hops on, but MJF stops Code Red to reel Mistico in! POWER BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Mistico survives, MVP says this is still fine, and Grand Slam goes picture in picture. MJF sits Mistico up, and he pulls at the mask! MJF’s lucky this is an AEW based event, CMLL rules say this is tantamount to a disqualification! MJF rips at the eyehole, then clamps on a chinlock. MJF grinds Mistico down but Mistico endures.
Mistico fights while the fans tell MJF off again. Mistico rises up, fires body shots, then runs to ROCK MJF! Mistico fires forearms but MJF throat chops! MJF TOSSES Mistico out, distracts the ref, and the Hurt Syndicate attacks! BARRIER BACKBREAKER from Shelton! Shelton shoves Mistico back into the ring, MJF covers, TWO! Mistico is still in this but the ref is a bit suspicious of the Hurt Syndicate. MVP defends their innocence, and MJF puts Mistico on ropes. MJF CHOKES Mistico, the ref counts, and MJF stops at 4. This lets Lashley CHOKE Mistico and throw hands! The Hurt syndicate gets away with more, and MJF covers, TWO!
MVP tells fans to callete, they saw nothing! MJF stalks Mistico, stomps him on the foot, then has him on the ropes. MJF stomps him more, then soaks up heat. MJF drags Mistico up, scoops and carries him, then SLAMS him down! MJF huffs ‘n’ puffs while Grand Slam returns to single picture. MJF sits Mistico back up, runs the ropes, and then just steps up to pelvic thrust! The fans boo and Mistico is pissed now! MVP says no more trolling, MJF, he’s already told him that! MJF ROCKS Mistico, but Mistico eggs him on! MJF ROCKS Mistico, CLUBS him again and again, but then Mistico blocks to fire off forearms! And KICKS, SOBATS and KICKS!
The fans fire up with Mistico, but MJF BITES Mistico’s mask! MJF whips, Mistico reverses, then he ducks ‘n’ dodges to handspring and BACK ELBOW! The fans fire up and Mistico aims from a corner. But MJF runs up! Mistico dodges, runs back in, but MJF puts him on the apron. Mistico GAMANGIRIS! The fans fire up, Mistico springboards, CROSSBODY!

The fans are thunderous as both men are down! The ring count starts while the fans cheer, “ESTA LUCHA! <THIS IS WRESTLING!>”
The fans fire up as Mistico puts MJF back in the ring. Mistico then springboards again, SWANTON BOMB! MJF sputters into the drop zone and Mistico goes up the corner! MOONSAULT, but MJF moves! Mistico rolls through as best he can, and he SNAP POWERSLAMS! Cover, TWO!! MJF survives, MVP is frustrated on his behalf, but Mistico covers again, TWO! MJF is still in this but the fans are still behind Mistico. Mistico stands MJF up and CHOPS! The fans rally, Mistico runs, but MJF SPITS in Mistico’s face! Mistico is pissed, but MJF dodges the haymaker! Mistico blocks MJF’s kick, but MJF POKES Mistico in the eyes!
MJF runs, but Mistico SUPERKICKS! MJF rebounds to FOREARM! Mistico rebounds to hop on, DESTROYER!! MJF staggers but he SUPERKICKS back! Cover, TWO!! Mistico survives, and both men are showing us why they were each record-setting champions in their companies! The fans rally up more and more, “ESTA LUCHA!” MVP talks with Lashley & Shelton, and MJF rises up. MJF goes to the apron, and then up the ramp? Is MJF quitting? Mistico rushes up after MJF, tilt-o-whirl and- NO, MJF stops La Mystica to hit a TOMBSTONEÂ on the stage!! The ref hurries to check Mistico while the fans go nuts!
MVP hurries to check on MJF and tells him to get up. MJF grabs the ref and drags him away to the ring. MJF now wants the win by count out! The count begins, the fans count along, and Mistico is still down at tres. MJF lies down to mock Mistico, but Mistico rises at cinco! The fans are thunderous as Mistico fires himself up, and he runs down the ramp to then slide into the ring at nueve! The fans are thunderous and MJF is stunned! MJF covers his ears to block out the chants for Mistico, but then he drags Mistico to a corner. MJF calls his shot, goes up the corner, but Mistico springs up! GAMANGIRI! GAMANGIRI! And GAMANGIRI!!
Mistico fires up, GAMANGIRIS again, then he goes up top! Mistico steadies himself, brings MJF up, and hits a SUPER SPANISH FLY!! Mistico crawls to the cover, TWO!!!

MJF TAPS, but it doesn’t count!! Mistico is furious, MVP continues to keep the ref’s attention, MJF LOW BLOWS Mistico!! Roll-up, high stack, but now the distraction is backfiring! The ref is late to the count, TWO!! Mistico survives and The Hurt Syndicate is apoplectic!
The fans are electric as Mistico survives! “ESTA LUCHA!” as MJF and the ref argue now. MJF then runs up to LOW BLOW Mistico!??!
Winner: Mistico, by disqualification
Typical MJF throws a tantrum with that blatant breaking of the rules! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but then MJF SHOVES the ref down! That’ll be a fine, but MJF just rains down fists on Mistico! Lashley & Shelton join in! The fans boo as the Hurt Syndicate mugs Mistico! Then MJF threatens to do it! He grins, and he grabs Mistico’s mask! MJF SNATCHES it away!! The fans are furious as MJF holds up his trophy, and then puts it on! MJF flips everyone off while wearing Mistico’s mask, but here come Bandido, Templario y Titan! They won’t let this disrespect go unpunished! In fact, who is that climbing up the corners?! Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey are here!!
The fans fire up as Hurt Syndicate turns around, DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICKS from #JetSpeed! MJF freaks out, and he gets DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for it! The Hurt Syndicate hurries away, Bailey gets Mistico his spare mask while MJF retreats wearing the real one. Mistico still won this match, but will he and his amigos make sure to get some payback?
4 Million Pesos Fatal 4 Way: Ricochet VS Mascara Dorada VS Holo.grm VS Lio Rush!
The One & Only is still looking for someone, anyone, to be worthy of following him on his journey to gold. Maybe having an extra $210K will help that? Or will someone else cash in big with a Grand Slam?
The bell rings and the four watch each other. Ricochet tries to bond with Bryce Remsburg over being bald but Bryce isn’t having it. Ricochet and the others all approach center, but then Lio says forget this. Lio goes to a corner to soak up heat, and Ricochet talks it over with the luchadores. They all step up and Lio sees he is surrounded. Lio says hold on, let’s take it easy. But then Ricochet sucker punches Dorada! Ricochet stomps away on Dorada, Lio DECKS Hologram and stomps him, too! The fans boo but Ricochet and Lio soak up the heat. They shake hands and trade luchadores. Then they coordinate, and they run corner to corner to trade again, LARIATS in the corners!
Lio then feeds Hologram to Ricochet for another LARIAT! Lio runs in and LARIATS Dorada! Feed to Ricochet’s LARIAT! The fans boo but Ricochet & Lio soak it up. Ricochet & Lio get the luchadores up and out of the ring, then they mock the fans clapping. Ricochet & Lio both build speed, but the luchadores are back! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Dorada sets up, Hologram runs, and Dorada pops Hologram up for an ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! Lio is sent away, Hologram dodges Ricochet and Dorada SUPERKICKS Now Hologram returns the favor so that Dorada can ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG Ricochet!
The fans fire up as Ricochet tumbles into Lio at the corner. Dorada runs and rolls off Hologram’s back so Hologram can SPLASH both Ricochet & Lio! Then Dorada runs in for a CYCLONE SPLASH!

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by pinfall (NEW CMLL Women’s World Champion)
Even Mone is a bit surprised, but she flipped things around on Zeuxis and has taken yet another title! Mone holds up the FIVE championships in her collection and the streams fly! Will The CEO only add to her treasury when she and- Wait, speaking of Toni Storm, she’s on the tron! “She’s the kind of woman who always has money on her mind and someone else on her lips. She’s the kind of woman mother takes home to you. With thighs as big as the world and long as a wet dream. One thing she did know how to hold the gold, and not the Acapulco kind, either. She had a date with a Chief Executive Officer who wanted a kiss, but one belt too many.
“Deepthroat some tabasco, baby, it’s time to turn up the heat. There was one chance in a million she would bump into her past, but like everything out of the past, it was all behind her now.” The fans cheer as the noir narration ends, because surprise! That’s… Mina Shirakawa? Because Toni Storm sneaks into the ring from the crowd! The fans fire up as the lady in red takes a sniff of the gold.

The fans cheer as Mone runs away and Toni gives her chase! She gets Mone at the ramp but the refs stop her!
The fans boo and Mone scrambles away through the streamers! One lucky fan gets Mone to hug her as she cowers in fear. Toni grabs a mic to shout, “Let the games begin~!” Toni revels in the streamers while Mone pulls at her hair in frustration! Will the AEW Women’s World Championship be the one belt Mone doesn’t take?

But there’s no running from what’s coming! 24 days remain before All In, will they be the last 24 days Moxley has as champion?
My Thoughts:
Awesome night for AEW’s first show in Mexico, even with things going about how I expected. For one, Mone of course won the title, because why else would they even do this match if not to give her one more belt? Though, what’s wild is that she picked up another belt without much hype or press from AEW. I guess European Wrestling Alliance hopes this gets them some attention. But good stuff with Toni Storm’s noir video and the sneak attack. And I would hope Toni retains the title at All In to keep Mone from going Ultimo Dragon just yet.
Cash Wheeler and Claudio Castagnoli both had travel issues, so I understand subbing people in. But did a 12 Man Tag really need to become a 14 Man Tag for it? And seeing as how I don’t cover CMLL’s own programming, I have NO idea why Atlantis Senior & Junior are getting booed. Is it a “Cena Wins LOL” situation where Junior is winning too much? That’s the only thing I can really think of offhand. But naturally, the Faces of that match won, as The Don Callis Family was rolling last week and needed humbling. I would think we still get Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher 2 now, and maybe Kyle wins the title so that the Don Callis Family has something.
Although, Callis seems to be bringing Okada into the fold for whatever reason, so he could end up bringing the “Unified” Continental & International Championship to the family. Okada VS Briscoe was great, and naturally Okada got the win. Mistico VS MJF was great stuff, up until MJF gave up and gave Mistico the win there. I know MJF loves getting heat, but him being the first man to snatch Mistico’s mask away like that is some HUGE heat. Also, I think I said it way back during some feud Penta had in AEW, but are masks really sacred if they’re willing to let them get ripped, stretched, and even yanked away? Or has that been lucha libre kayfabe all along? Either way, great stuff with JetSpeed and the other luchadores showing up, lots of matches set up with that.
Great Fatal 4 Way, and great win for Hologram to stay undefeated, but I will again criticize needing to do money prizes for these things. They should’ve set Hologram up for a title match twice over by now but TK is apparently making Hologram his top undefeated guy. Like if Goldberg was more than just big and strong and could actually do stuff… Also, while they obviously didn’t work together the entire time, I just feel like Ricochet having Lio Rush & Action Andretti become his crew (what with them being CRU and all) is the right move. Or perhaps this story of finding a faction is going to be an ongoing gag that no one likes Ricochet and would never follow him.
Then a great 10 Man Tag main event, though a little redundant considering Anarchy in the Arena was only a few weeks ago. Still good stuff for everybody, especially Mortos since he got to sub in for Claudio. Of course Marina gets involved so that the Heels win, but great stuff with Hangman going after Moxley. Hangman did a great job in his promo speaking Espanol to show respect to the fans. Naturally, Moxley gets away, that’s his whole thing. I really hope Ospreay, Swerve and The Opps keep the Death Riders and Bucks at bay so Hangman doesn’t get screwed over at All In. It’d be garbage if, after all this time and energy, it doesn’t pay off with Hangman as the triumphant hero.
My Score: 9/10
