July 19 Chilanga Mask

Finishing up my series about the July 18-19 trip to Mexico, this post will cover the last of three shows that we attended, the Chilanga Mask show.

Chilanga Mask
July 19, 2015, 2pm, Coliseo Coacalco, Coacalco, Estado de México

The nominal start time was 2pm, but as BTJr. mentioned to me for planning purposes, the show always starts a about half-hour later, and this was indeed the case here; I have the first match starting at 2:37pm local time.

July 18-19 non-show trip notes

Continuing my series about the July 18-19 weekend trip to Mexico City, for which I've already written posts about the shows that we attended on Saturday (Lucha Mutante and Arena Coliseo), this post will cover our activities outside of the shows themselves. This is mostly a bunch of scattered notes that jump around in time.

July 18 Saturday Arena Coliseo

This is the second in a series of posts covering my last trip to Mexico City, on July 18-19. After the Lucha Mutante show, which I wrote about previously, one of Black Terry Jr.'s cousins very kindly gave us a ride to Arena Coliseo. We arrived in time for the fifth match (Tritón vs. Okumura), the last of the one-fall singles matches on the card.

July 18 Lucha Mutante show

So, as most of you reading this are likely aware, I did another of my crazy weekend trips to Mexico last weekend (July 18-19), to watch the Lucha Mutante (Saturday, 4pm), Arena Coliseo  (Saturday, 7:30pm), and Chilanga Mask (Sunday 2:30pm) shows with my fiancée, Cecilia. Black Terry Jr. (BTJr.) kindly asked if I could write up something about the trip, so here goes.

This post will be the first in a series of three or four, depending on how verbose I end up being.

Lucha Mutante Experimento I
July 18, 2015, 4pm, Deportivo 18 de Marzo, Mexico City

The first show that we attended was Lucha Mutante. Deportivo 18 de Marzo is essentially a park in the northern part of Mexico City. The show itself took place inside a large tent. The nominal start time of 4pm was, in reality, when they started letting people in; the first match didn't start until around 5:25pm local time.
