  • Lucha Underground season 2 taping spoilers: what’s Mil Muertes up to?

    Day One —

    – Vampiro opened up the show giving us an update after the conclusion of season one: Dario Cueto’s whereabouts are unknown, and Katrina is in charge of the Temple

    – There is a throne where the live music was last season, and champion Mil Muertes sits stoically the whole show watching on.

    Trios match

    – Drago & Bengala & Famous B vs. Cage & Cortez Castro & Cisco

    Drago & Bengala & Famous B win when Drago pinned Castro. Cage then turned on Castro and Cisco and played to the crowd.

    Fenix vs. King Cuerno for the Gift of the Gods Championship

    Cuerno pinned Fenix with a package piledriver. Good Match. 

    Ivelisse vs. Angelico vs. Son of Havok for shot at the Lucha Underground title

    Ivelisse pinned Angelico with roll up.

    – Muertes left his perch and a match quickly commenced between him and Ivelisse. Angelico and Son of Havoc are cheering her on and The Disciples clean house and leave Mil Muertes to demolish Ivelisse.  There was an armbar spot that put Mil in danger but Mil recovered and shortly afterwards pins her. Katrina comes in to do her lick spot but does not do it; she then commands Mil to finish the job.  He is about to kill Ivelisse when Prince Puma runs in, grabs her and runs off. As Puma is talking crap to Mil, Pentagon Jr runs out to a huge pop, does a lung blower, sets up the arm break spot, and “breaks” Muertes’ arm. Pentagon was super over.

    Day Twp —

    Killshot vs. Johnny Mundo

    Great match.  Mundo nutshot followed by the end of world moonsault.  There were two ref bumps prior to the finish.

    Mundo cut a promo about Alberto El Patron not coming back after the beating he gave him at Ultima Lucha and how he had the best match at Ultima Lucha and deserves a shot at the title. Cage interrupted him and talked about his match and how it was better and how he wants a chance at Mil Muertes. They shoot barbs back and forth and Johhny plays to the crowd. He was a heel so the crowd renamed him Johnny Puto.

    Mack vs. PJ Black

    This was PJ’d debut.  Good all-around match although PJ botched one spot as he slipped on the rope. Mack wins with the RKO out of nowhere. 

    Handicap Match: Disciples of Death vs. Pentagon and Puma

    Pentagon pinned Purple Disciple after Puma lands a his 450 splash Pentagon and Puma didn’t get along, after the match they teased Pentagon breaking Puma’s arm but it didn’t happen.

  • Mistic 2.0 is at Arena Mexico tonight

    Luis Urive, the former Mistico who is now wrestling as Mistic 2.0, is at Arena Mexico for tonight’s show.

    He is not booked on the show, although he will be on the Lucha Libre Elite show on Sunday in his first match at the arena in four years.  He may do a interview to promote the show and or shoot an angle.

    Observer correspondent Robert Bihari reports that Urive will be wrestling on an iPPV show that CMLL is doing at Arena Mexico a week from tonight in his first CMLL match, where he would be opposite members of Los Ingobernables.

    Mistic 2.0 and Volador Jr. are scheduled to headline Sunday’s show at Arena Mexico against Los Ingobernables members Rush & La Mascara, which was expected to draw one of the biggest pro wrestling crowds this year, although because Mexico is such a heavy walk-up market you never know for sure ahead of time.

    Tonight’s show will air live at www.ClaroSports.com at 9:30PM ET, but it may be geo blocked in the U.S.  Some weeks it is and some weeks it isn’t, and nobody ever knows for sure until the show starts. But next week’s show as an iPPV will be available in the U.S.

  • Dr. Wagner Jr. gone from CMLL

    By Dave Meltzer, WrestlingObserver.com

    Dr. Wagner Jr. is off tonight’s Arena Mexico show, as well as next week’s anniversary show, meaning that both big outside attractions who have greatly picked up attendance, Wagner and L.A. Park, are gone after two shows.

    Marco Corleone will replace Wagner Jr. at next Friday’s anniversary show.

    CMLL claims that Wagner Jr. called the office and said that next week’s show “didn’t suit his interests.”  CMLL then told him not to bother coming.

    Wagner Jr. and Park were there to be back in the spotlight for a few weeks, feud with each other, and continue that feud on independent shows forever.  With Park being fired last week, Wagner Jr. figured there was nothing to build his future business staying.
