Let’s catch up on CMLL news from the lucha libre world.
CMLL opened the new year with a special Saturday night show on January 1. The main event was an 11-man mask versus hair cage match between Espiritu Negro, Sangre Imperial, Dulce Gardenia, Stigma, Pegasso, Audaz, Disturbio, Coyote, Akuma, Nitro, and Okumura. Polvora was originally scheduled to participate, but he was pulled due to COVID. The concept of the contest was the final two luchadores remaining duking it out with the loser losing his mark or hair.
The finish came down to Disturbio and exotico Dulce Gardenia. Gardenia hit a corkscrew flying crossbody. He followed up for a hurricanrana while wiggling his hips in Disturbio’s face. That sassy tactic backfired into a powerbomb. Disturbio controlled the action after that. Gardenia rallied to prevail via submission victory, and Disturbio was forced to shave his head.
La jaula de #SinSalidaCMLL tuvo en Disturbio a la victima al quedar sin cabellera ante Dulce Gardenia, que con esto, inicia el 2022 de forma extraordinaria.
