CMLL
This last Friday at Arena Mexico in Viernes Espectacular, CMLL had a great semi-final match. This match was the opportunity to Star Jr who a couple of weeks ago gained the tournament of Gran Alternativa with El Valiente and his opportunity comes this night. Star Jr was supporting Soberano Jr, and El Valiente against Ultimo Guerrero, Gilbert El Boricua, and Barbaro Cavernario.
The first fall was dominated by the rudos side and with this control, they had the victory but of the first moments, we could see that Gilbert and Guerrero every time that they could opportunity argued between them. But the second fall was gained by the tecnico side with Star Jr who made Ultimo Guerrero submit. The match was defined by Gilbert and Cavernario. Gilbert defeated El Valiente with a plancha and Cavernario defeated Soberano with La Cavernaria.
CMLL had a great main event where Caristico, Mistico, and Diamante Azul faced off against Negro Casas, Euforia and Gran Guerrero. The match was great when Euforia and Gran Guerrero tear the masks of Mistico and Caristico, but the first fall was to the tecnicos side. Diamante Azul defeated Negro Casas with a tremendous German Suplex. The second fall was one more time to the tecnicos side, but this time was decided by Caristico, as he defeated Euforia and Mistico with La Mistica beat to Gran Guerrero. At the end of the match, Mistico and Caristico asked an opportunity to Los Guerreros for CMLL Tag Team Championships. And this match will be next Friday at the Dia de Muertos event.

And the great main event will be Arez RIOT Champs against Aramis. These men are incredible luchadors. Arez this year has grown more and more in this business. He was part of Wrestlecon, AAA, IMPACT, OWE, and just this last week he had an incredible match in GCW. Aramis is the same as Arez, a great luchador who has had the opportunity to feature in IMPACT, AAA and PWG on BOLA. Two great presents and future of Lucha Libre and a great promotion who give this opportunity, all are in to be incredible.

IWRG
Weeks ago, it was announced that NOAH and IWRG will have an agreement to interchange rosters. With that in mind, NOAH has announced that this December, Dragon Bane and Hijo de Canis Lupus will be in Japan. They are stars at Arena Naucalpan with IWRG and will be showing their incredible skills in NOAH. In Mexico, they have worked and sweat hard on the indys to finally bare their fruits of they’re labor with this opportunity. I can’t deny that they will be successful and I’m sure this won’t the last of many trips to Japan.
