first of CMLL’s two Dia de Muertos shows takes place today. Luchadors and edecanes will dress in makeup and costume to fit in with the traditional Mexican celebration of the dead. The entire arena will have a special look for the next couple of days. And, they’ll also be having wrestling matches – Volador versus Sombra once again, this time for the NWA Welterweight Championship

This will be the 24th known Volador/Sombra match since they started feuding in 2010. Volador leads 11-10 with two ties. It’ll be the 21st to air on a TV show. It’s their third match this year: Volador won in April in Arena Mexico and August in Arena Puebla. Volador has won the last five matchups. He’s coming in as champion and seems likely to win again. This is the signature feud of this last decade of CMLL. I wish CMLL had gone with something fresh for an iPPV, but if only hardcore fans are going to buy this (and only some hardcore fans are going to buy this), then maybe you go with the one match you know will work for those fans.

The rest of the show has, at best, middle chapters of ongoing feuds. The semimain is Maximo, Valiente, and Super Parka versus Rush, La Mascara and Marco Corleone. CMLL’s preview teases Rush and Super Parka may continue feuding. The fourth match was scheduled to have Ultimo Guerrero versus Thunder, but Ultimo Guerrero is out of action (and believed to be injured). It’ll instead just be a random trios match with Thunder, Boby Z, and Dragon Rojo facing Euforia, Gran Guerrero and Mr. Niebla. The best undercard match of the night will probably be The Panther, Esfinge, and Oro Jr. versus Super Comando, Raziel and Skandalo, continuing the Panther/Comando feud.

The show is on iPPV for a listed price of $6 USD. It was actually $7.62 when they added in fees for me this morning. If you did not change your clock for daylight savings this past week (if you live in the US or Japan), the show will start one hour later than usual. It’ll start at 10:30pm in New York. You can find the time where you live here.

I haven’t checked this out thoroughly, but I believe today’s iPPV is the only wrestling one where the winners will go to a heavenly paradise and the losers will be dragged to hell.

I know CMLL can't be expected to book around NJPW's needs, but it's a shame Los Ingobernables seem heading for a breakup right before they're set to become a big thing in NJPW

If they can get him at a later date I can't blame them. If your champ's leaving the company it's good to have him at least put someone over on the way out.

I missed last night's show but read about it on Luchablog. Interesting after the DotD show that Sombra and Volador didn't get along while Rush had no issues working with a standard tecnico teammate.

Wonder where this is going?

I was worried about an Ingobernables breakup loving with NJPW's booking, but sadly it's starting to look like outside of Fantasticamania that the CMLL and NJPW versions of the stable might just be be completely different groups that both happen to include Naito :smith:

Ninety-one? There are ninety other "Tiger Drivers"? Do any involve actual tigers, or driving?
Naito learned in Mexico that 298 pancakes can't kill you if you're already dead.

I'm not well-versed in Lucha beyond what I've seen clips of here and there and LU, but anytime I've seen old-Mistico/Mysteziz/Caristico in action he's been super botchy, especially for a guy that's supposed to be a top draw. Is current-Mistico any good? Was the character that popular that it merited 3 different guys to play it at one point or another??

Current Mistico's decent but he's been outshone by both his older (Rush) and younger (Dragon Lee) brothers. Old Miatico was the top draw in Mexico in the middle of the last decade and a really huge star for a fairly brief period of time.

Fun flyer, though not the best one in CMLL, or anything like that. He's a solid guy who the crowd usually mercilessly boos. Don't know if he has a a heel run in him, but he's not even clicking on the level they're pushing him as a face - and they're not pushing him as hard as they used to.

And like Thauros said, it's not that the original CMLL Mistico was a big deal, he was THE big deal.
