NJPW CMLL (SAT) 01/22/2011 Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan [Mask Mania, Strong Style Spirit, SuperLuchas]
***Fantastica Mania, 2011***
Attendance: 1800
1) Taichi b Máximo *
Taichi got his win back.
2) Ryusuke Taguchi b Máscara Dorada © [CMLL WELTER] *
Title change! Taguchi is the new champ. Dorada's injury may have caught up with him here; match went 11 minutes, which is a bit short. Dorada has lost two of his titles in a short time and puts a third on the line tomorrow.
3) Jushin Liger © b La Sombra [CMLL MIDDLE] *
Clean win title defense for brainbuster. This is probably not the end for these two quite yet.
4) Gigante Bernard & Karl Anderson b Atlantis & Shigeo Okumura [IWGP TAG] *
Okumura lost to Anderson's Stun Gun. Atlantis reported to be alive and well.
5) Dragón Rojo Jr. & Tomohiro Ishii b La Máscara & Tiger Mask IV *
no idea why this was the semimain. Dragon pinned La Mascara. Mascara had a bad night, so much that the crowd was laughing at him and Taichi took to Twitter to defend him.
6) Averno, Shinsuke Nakamura, Tetsuya Naito b Hiroshi Tanahashi, Místico, Prince Devitt *
Surprise Averno pinfall on Mistico here to set up tomorrow's singles match. (Odd they didn't do that with Tiger Mask.)
Event Notes: CMLL losing all three title matches is a hard way to make people interested in CMLL luchadors. They've got to be holding onto the trios titles tomorrow. A sell out, with another one expected tomorrow.
