when she said that she blocked anyone who talked about wrestling I thought she was, by large, probably taking the correct path

CMLL stream ended up running anyway, though they missed all of the opener and a little bit of the second match.
Yeah, "manera diferida" means they're putting up a VOD later.
No CMLL Arena Coliseo stream tonight. CMLL says it's due to issues outside of their control and they'll transmit the show in a "different form." Maybe that means VOD, not sure.

wrote today about tonight's Las Noche de Amazonas card, the Copa Infernal announcement (and return) and plenty of CMLL lineups and news from the last few days thecubsfan.com/cmll/zw9f
vague plan is to have a post on CMLL related stuff before tonight's show, another on everything else on Saturday and then resume normal service (but I'm nowhere close to meeting those goals at the moment)
Selected (and edited) matches will air in Mexico on Televisa 9 on Saturday, and repeat on cable TUDN during the week. (Show does not air in the US)
A slightly edited version of this show will go up for CMLL YouTube subscribers on the Super Estrellas level (9 USD) around 03/15.
To watch the show live:
CMLL's YouTube youtube.com/user/VideosO... offers the show IN SPANISH in Campeon Mundial (25USD) and Leyenda (35) plans. These are auto-renewal monthly subs.
TRILLER
trillertv.com/watch/cmll-t... offers the show IN ENGLISH for 10USD - or 8 if you have Triller+

how it is going for Johnny Consejo
wrote today about Angel de Oro/Johnny Consejo (and the value of a strong promo), the FantasticaMania tour finishing up, AAA taping in Monterrey, and more notes from the last few days thecubsfan.com/cmll/aj80
Angel de Oro is fighting this Friday for his people, his home, and his people.
That's it for this week.
Angel de Oro says it was the hair match that actually hurt him more. Always happy to have outsiders in, willing to shake their hands if they lose, but Consejo has been disrespected. Angel de Oro will leave his soul in the ring. Family, friends in shock match is happening.
Angel de Oro says he's anxious, prepared, focused and nervous for his match on Friday. He's getting lots of questions about the match - is he just selling his hair? Angel de Oro says he's putting his credibility on the line. Losing his mask, his hair is a wound that's never healed.
Catalina says that as much as she dislikes Persephone - and she really dislikes Persephone - she'll go celebrate if Persephone can bring the CMLL title back to CMLL. Same with Olympia.
Lots of talk about all the children fans of Catalina and all the gifts she got when she returned. Less happy when she finds out she's teaming with Sanely but will work with her to raise up CMLL against the indie ladies. They go over the rest of the 03/06 lineup.
La Catalina talks about returning from injury. Frustrated she almost missed teaming with Akari but they did get to team the last week. Had 5 holes in one eye and 3 in the other after a laser eye surgery-related injury. (Better now.)
Talk about them being rivals leads to the reveal that they'll actually team on 03/06. Neither thrilled. It'll be La Catalina & Sanley vs Keyra & Garra Negra in an incredible partners tag.
JCR talks about CMLL having the best luchadoras, though it sounds like (and the graphics indicate) they're not fully part of the roster yet. Garra is the daughter of two luchadors, while Keyra was a fan with no wrestling relations.
Indie luchadoras Keyra and Garra Negra (the ex-Hija de Gatubela) will debut with CMLL on the 03/06 show.
Euforia has the experience advantage. JCR says this three-way is one pinfall to a finish; you don't have to pin the champion to win. Euforia & Akuma agree they can't make an alliance; it means too much to win. They do agree to give each other the first shot if they win.
they mentioned Claudio beating Josh on Collision (but did not have any footage), setting up Akuma & Euforia challenging on Friday. JCR said lots of fans on social media were pushing for Akuma, who says he has a big responsibility to repay that support by showing what he can do.
lots more talk about people supporting them; UG is watching from Japan. Rey Pegasus takes pride in trying unique dives, like the one on Tuesday. JCR says everyone, win or lose, may later get chosen to be part of CMLL.
the Torneo de Estudiantes talk about Friday's final. They introduce themselves, and then JCR introduces them all again. Pantera sent JCR messages about how happy he was for his son's performances. He says he's been getting lots of advice from his father and brother. He's 25, his brother 32.
