Two outstanding matches on Friday night in Arena Mexico highlighted a lucha libre card that featured the finals of the annual CMLL Universal tournament.

Volador Jr. won his first Universal Championship in the main event against Ultimo Guerrero for a crowd-pleasing match in Mexico City. Fans showed their appreciation by throwing money into the ring after the main event, which they also did the same for in the semi-main.

A dream team of high-flyers wowed the crowd in that semi-main as Dragon Lee teamed with Mistico and Caristico for a trios match with Los Hijos del Infierno.

Elsewhere on the undercard, Vangellys lost his hair in a match with Pierroth. Seemingly the goal of their feud itself was trying to increase Pierroth’s worth as a member of Los Ingobernables.

While he is a veteran and the father of stable leader Rush, Pierroth’s role in Los Ingobernables was previously more likened to being part of the supporting cast. That is until the departure of La Mascara from CMLL. Winning a hair match ideally elevates Pierroth, but a lackluster match with Vangellys might not have accomplished the goal. Time will tell.

One feud that looks to have gained momentum is the ongoing struggle between Sam Adonis and Blue Panther. Adonis wore a Love Machine mask to the ring for a trios match with himself and Panther as opposing team captains.

Their feud involves nationalistic pride, with Adonis continuing his Trump supporter gimmick on Mexican soil. The Love Machine mask added a new element to the feud, and wearing the mask is an ode to a memorable feud from Panther’s past.

The late Art Barr portrayed the masked Love Machine while feuding with Blue Panther in the early 1990s. In front of a sellout crowd at Arena Mexico in 1992, Love Machine lost his mask to Panther and revealed himself as Art Barr. Though Barr would leave EMLL (now CMLL) for AAA and gain greater fame in a tag team with Eddy Guerrero, the feud with Blue Panther remains legendary in lucha libre.

Adonis donning the Love Machine mask took his issues with Panther to such a heated level that Panther on Friday night issued a challenge for a singles match between the two. What seemed like an aimless feud is now a full-fledged grudge.

With all that aside, the main focus of the card was the finals of the Universal tournament. The annual tradition in CMLL is a tournament involving the promotion’s champions as everyone entered holds a title of some sort.

The winner of the tournament becomes the Universal Champion, though the title is not actually defended throughout the year. Nonetheless, the Universal tournament is probably the most high-profile tourney of the year in a promotion filled with tournaments.

The Friday night card featured many plugs for the upcoming Grand Prix. Also plugged throughout the show was the Copa Natalia Vazquez, which is a women’s tournament that headlines next Friday night in Arena Mexico.

The full show from Friday is available on the CMLL YouTube channel (along with other shows from the past week). Watch it below:

Metalico, Akuma & captain Arkangel de la Muerte defeated Sensei, Astral & captain Star Jr.

This match got much more time than it probably needed, and arguably it was not all that good. After a botched spot, Astral rolled up rudo captain Arkangel for a pinfall to mercifully end the first fall. With the tecnicos winning the opening fall, the rudos would go to win the next two.

For the second fall, Akuma eliminated Sensei after pinning him with a splash off the top rope. Metalico then tied up Astral in a leglock for a submission as the rudos evened the falls.

In the third fall, Akuma dispatched Astral with a powerbomb on the floor. Metalico eliminated Sensei via pinfall with an ugly backdrop. Star Jr. went for a Frankensteiner off the top, which Arkangel blocked to set up a super powerbomb for a pinfall.

Amapola, Zeuxis & captain Dalys defeated Vaquerita, Silueta & captain Marcela

The rudas won the first and third falls to take the match. In gaining an early advantage in the first fall, Zeuxis eliminated Vaquerita by pinning her after a Spanish Fly off the top rope. Marcela became tied in the ropes, allowing Dalys to take her out with a dropkick. That left Amapola to pin Silueta after giving her the Angel’s Wings.

The rudas continued to dominate until the tecnicas made a comeback in the second fall. Setting up a captain pinning a captain, Marcela jumped off the top rope with a double foot stomp on Dalys for the cover and a three count.

The third fall had teammates making saves on pinning attempts. The rudas made a save that allowed Dalys to escape a camel clutch applied by Marcela. Dalys then applied a Scorpion Deathlock to submit the tecnica captain, winning the match for the rudas.

Dragon Rojo, Negro Casas (w/ El Perico Zacarias) & captain Sam Adonis defeated Soberano Jr. (w/ KeMonito), Diamante Azul & captain Blue Panther

Adonis wore the Love Machine mask to the ring to compliment his heel American persona. A commissioner at ringside was highly upset at him wearing such a mask. That led into a disqualification of the rudos in the first fall for excessive violence as they ganged up on Blue Panther.

The commissioner got on the apron and demanded that Adonis take off the Love Machine mask. Maybe the commish thought a confused audience would actually think Adonis was Art Barr, who passed away in 1994.

The commish distracted the rudos long enough for Panther to regroup. Panther unmasked Adonis and they began brawling around ringside until their fight spilled out into the crowd. They continued to brawl in the crowd for several minutes.

Meanwhile, Casas submitted Soberano for an elimination when he applied a Scorpion Deathlock. Dragon Rojo then did a double foot stomp off the top rope to pin Azul to give the rudos the second fall.

The match settled down in the third fall as Panther and Adonis also returned to the ring. The action picked up again, leading to Soberano showcasing his high-flying skills. In a wild spot, Azul launched Soberano over the ropes with a monkey flip into a dive. Panther sent Adonis sailing with an arm drag off the ropes for a near fall.

Heading into the finish, Panther applied an armbar. Adonis was out of bounds underneath the ropes to break the hold. Panther thought he won, and he began arguing with heel referee Tirantes. With Panther distracted, Adonis scooped him up for a Michinoku Driver. Adonis covered Panther, and cheated by holding the bottom rope for leverage, as he pinned him to win the third fall.

Blue Panther then got a microphone and challenged Adonis to a one-on-one match. As Panther was cutting a promo on Adonis, Azul snatched Adonis’ American flag that is emblazoned with the face of Donald Trump. Azul broke the flagpole and threw the flag into the crowd, where Adonis went to retrieve it.

Panther kept cutting his promo, which started a “Mexico” chant. Adonis slunk away after retrieving his flag, with Panther close behind still cutting a promo. The crowd was hot and wanted a singles match between the two. Looks like that will happen in the near future even if Adonis never actually accepted the challenge.

Pierroth defeated Vangellys in a hair match

Vangellys did a dance routine with a troupe of female dancers during his entrance. They each got a grand entrance, though Pierroth got a much grander one. Pierroth wore a white suit while he literally had the red carpet rolled out for him. Vangellys attacked Pierroth on the red carpet to start the match.

Pierroth never had a chance to take off his suit as Vangellys overwhelmed him in a very short first fall. Vangellys quickly pinned Pierroth with a fisherman’s buster. Between falls, Pierroth was able to regroup and finally remove his suit.

Pierroth evened the falls with a pinfall after a senton off the middle rope for the second fall. That is about when they started having an actual match, and it was not pretty at times.

Heading into the third fall, they fought out into the crowd with Vangellys getting to look strong since he was losing. Back in the ring, Vangellys missed a somersault senton off the top rope. Pierroth soon finished him off with a Gotch tombstone for a pinfall.

Though Los Ingobernables henchmen were at ringside for the duration of the match itself, Rush was noticeably absent. After Pierroth won, a beaming Rush appeared before the crowd. He gloated for a bit before the guest barber came to the ring wearing a tuxedo that looked good enough for prom.

The barber shaved the head of Vangellys as he continued to sell the piledriver. Since Vangellys had short hair anyway, the haircut took very little time. Before long, Vangellys was bald.

Dragon Lee, Caristico & captain Mistico defeated Ephesto, Luciferno & captain Mephisto

The tecnicos were referred to as the “Dream Team” in this match against Los Hijos del Infierno. The rudos hold the Mexican National Trios Championship, but this was a non-title match.

The first fall came quickly after some initial grappling. Ephesto took out Dragon Lee with a tope suicida that sent Lee over the barricade into the first row. In the ring, Mephisto pinned Caristico after executing a Styles Clash. Ephesto then gave Mistico the Devil’s Wings off the top for a pinfall, ending the first fall with the rudos gaining the early advantage.

The rudos continued their onslaught as the second fall began. The tecnicos eventually made a comeback that led to Mistico and Caristico doing dives to the outside. Dragon Lee hit a running Spanish Fly on rudo captain Ephesto to cover him for a pin. Suddenly, the match was tied.

The third fall gave way to spectacular flying by the tecnicos. It began with all three tecnicos diving off the stage. The action exploded from there with more wild dives. A series of high spots led into many pinning attempts and saves. The crowd was bonkers by this point.

With Mistico and Caristico on the receiving end of a Tower of Doom spot, Dragon Lee eliminated Ephesto with a frog splash and followed with the pinfall. Dragon Lee himself was soon also eliminated when he ran into a Canadian Destroyer by Luciferno for a pin.

In the closing moments, Caristico applied La Mistica and submitted Luciferno to win the match for the tecnicos.

The crowd threw money into the ring, and for good reason as the third fall was fantastic.

Volador Jr. defeated Ultimo Guerrero to win the Universal Championship

For the seconds, Soberano Jr. was in Volador’s corner and Luciferno was in Guerrero’s corner. They were ringside to witness a helluva great match for the finals of a tournament featuring various champions in CMLL. Guerrero came into the tournament as the NWA World Historic Middleweight Champion. Volador holds the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship, and he won his first Universal Championship in this match.

The first fall started with grappling and chain wrestling with the crowd already hot for this main event. The luchadores would not disappoint. The first big high spot saw Volador attempt a tope con hilo. Guerrero caught Volador and powerbombed him on the floor. Ouch.

After rolling Volador back into the ring, Guerrero applied Pulpo Guerrero for a submission en route to capturing the first fall.

The second fall was short as Volador made a quick comeback. After a hurricanrana on the floor by Volador, they returned to the ring. Volador went for a Code Red, and Guerrero tried to block it to no avail. Volador went on to execute the Code Red, and then he pinned Guerrero to even the falls.

The third fall was much longer and much more spectacular, and the match was already pretty great before that final fall began. A subplot in the third fall was Tirantes’ biased officiating. Volador fighting from underneath with the referee clearly against him got the crowd even hotter.

Early in the third fall, Volador countered a vertebreaker to roll up Guerrero for a two count. Tirantes made a slow count as Guerrero kicked out. They began to trade near falls.

Volador went for a handspring back elbow, only to get caught with a German suplex for a near fall. Guerrero delivered a superplex for a two count. Guerrero then executed a super gourdbuster, and Volador narrowly kicked out. Volador countered with a lungblower for a cover, but Tirantes’ slow count allowed Guerrero to get a shoulder up.

Volador went for a Frankensteiner off the top, but Guerrero turned it into a super powerbomb. Volador kicked out just before Tirantes’ hand hit the mat for three. Tirantes was beside himself in disbelief.

Guerrero went for a second super powerbomb, and Volador countered with a super Frankensteiner. Once again, Tirantes’ slow count allowed Guerrero to kick out. The action spilled outside, where Guerrero did his signature leap over the barricade into a body block. When they returned to the ring, there was a double down.

Guerrero recovered to hit a Rainmaker for a near fall. Volador hit another super Frankensteiner for a slow two count. Guerrero set up and delivered the Guerrero Special (reverse superplex), but Volador rolled out of the ring to avoid a cover. Guerrero deadlifted Volador for a superplex back into the ring, and Volador somehow miraculously kicked out. What a match!

For the finish, Guerrero climbed up the turnbuckles. Volador dashed up the ropes and leaped off with Guerrero into a Spanish Fly. Volador rolled over to cover Guerrero for the three count. The crowd immediately started throwing money at the ring.

As the seconds gathered the money being thrown in, Volador was presented with the Universal Championship belt.

For the first time since Hell in a Cell, Shane McMahon will appear on WWE television as he returns to SmackDown next week.

That was announced after Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens defeated Shinsuke Nakamura & Randy Orton in last night’s main event. Their tag match was put together in storyline after Zayn and Owens insulted Daniel Bryan in the opening segment. They saw Bryan again after the match and asked him what he has for them next week, with Bryan informing them that the decision will be left up to Shane.

Shane hasn’t been on TV since his Hell in a Cell match against Owens earlier this month. He’s been selling the “injuries” that he received at the pay-per-view, though some mainstream outlets picked up on WWE’s storyline updates on Shane’s condition and reported them as real.

Next week’s SmackDown will also have AJ Styles vs. Sunil Singh, which was set up when Mahal volunteered Sunil to be Styles’ opponent. Styles had interrupted Mahal earlier in the night when Mahal was challenging Brock Lesnar to a match at Survivor Series.

A team of Russian historians and archaeologists have used a Nazi bomber pilot’s photograph to help them pinpoint the location of mass graves in Moscow containing the remains of thousands shot by Stalin’s secret police.

The existence of a mass grave in the Kommunarka district in southwestern Moscow first came to light in the dying days of the Soviet Union when the KGB opened up its archives.

It was one of three killing fields in the city used by Stalin’s NKVD secret police in the 1930s.

Historians believe at least 6,609 people were shot and thrown into mass graves in Kommunarka between 1937 and 1941.

The gated forested area was once used by NKVD chief Genrikh Yagoda, who had a holiday cottage there. But he fell foul of the regime and was removed from his post in 1936 and shot in 1938 – with his body most likely also disposed of in Kommunarka.

Until recently, the mass graves were believed to be located in one area of the forest, where victims’ relatives put up a memorial.

But historians now believe the graves’ location was misidentified.

No serious archaeological work has been done before in Kommunarka, said Roman Romanov, director of Moscow’s Gulag History Museum, who co-led the investigation.

The area remains much less investigated than a larger Stalin-era killing field in Moscow’s Butovo district, Romanov said.

But with a planned opening of a new memorial at Kommunarka, he said historians wanted to check exactly where the bodies were.

Romanov said they used ground-penetrating radar and historic photos to examine the area.

"We had volunteers working to clear the area and a geo-radar following us looking for anomalies in the ground," he said.

An aerial shot of Kommunarka taken by a Nazi pilot flying over Moscow in 1942 – when the graves were "fresh" – was key to the investigation.

Crucially, it showed the height of the trees in the area at the time.

Historians came to the conclusion that some of the trees had been planted over fresh graves – a tactic often used by the NKVD to cover up its executions.

Yan Rachinsky, a senior member of rights group Memorial that documents Stalinist crimes, estimates that around 30,000 people were shot in Moscow alone during Stalin’s Great Terror between 1937 and 1938. High-ranking officials and scientists were among those shot and hastily buried in Kommunarka.

Rachinsky said that over a thousand of those believed to be buried in Kommunarka remain unidentified after the Russian security services closed access to Soviet-era files.

"The state is responsible for what happened here and it struggles to define its position," said historian Sergei Bondarenko, whose great-grandfather was shot in Kommunarka.

He predicted that only a "middle-ranking" government official would attend the opening of a new memorial this month.

"In my view it should be the president, because this was one of the biggest killing fields in Moscow," he said.

At least 11 people including a nun have died, one person is missing and five have been seriously injured in flash foods in southwestern France in an area popular with British tourists and expatriates.

The Aude department, home to the medieval fort city of Carcassonne, sustained seven months of its average rainfall in one night in the worst floods in the area since 1891.

A nun was swept to her death by rising waters in the village of Villardonnel, where her convent was partially destroyed, and at least four died overnight in Villegailhenc, local authorities said.

A sixth person also died in Trèbes.  Local authorities raised the death toll to 13 by early afternoon but revised it back down to 11 later on Monday, with one missing and eight injured.

“This is a temporary toll and as reconnaissance continues during rescue efforts, it is possible it could get worse,” warned Edouard Philippe, the prime minister, who visited the flooded area.

President Emmanuel Macron is expected to travel to the Aude region in the coming days.

The threat of further flooding has not yet abated, according to Vigicrues, the French agency responsible for monitoring water levels. A thousand people were evacuated from the town of Pezens due to fears of a dam bursting.

Six helicopters were dispatched to help rescue people from roofs, but continuing poor weather was hampering operations, the prefect of Aude, Alain Thirion, told BFM TV.

"We have people stranded on rooftops. We’re going to have to use aircraft to evacuate them because we cannot reach them by boat given the force of the water. It’s too dangerous," he said.

Among the worst hit areas were the villages of Conques-sur-Orbiel and Villardonnel, where waters rose as high as the first-floor windows of some houses.

One person was also injured when a house collapsed in Cuxac, while in the space of five hours “between 160 and 180mm ((6 to 7 inches) of water fell on Carcassonne”, said Mr Thirion.

The water level of the river at Trèbes, meanwhile, reached seven metres, the highest in 127 years, while in Conques, there was up to two metres (6ft) of water in the streets.

Firemen responded to more than 250 calls overnight while in villages north of Carcassonne, all roads were cut, schools closed, and people were asked to stay at home.

Around 15 towns were in a “difficult situation” while six were in a “worrying state”.

In Saint-Etienne d’Albagnan, in the neighbouring Hérault, a helicopter rescue operation was underway to help people who had sought refuged in trees to escape floodwaters.

Some 600 firemen were helping in the effort, including seven aquatic rescue teams.

Six other departments were also hit by the storms from the eastern Pyrenees to Aveyron further north.

Torrential rain at this time of year is not uncommon in France but meteorologists have warned that exceptionally warm sea water along the Mediterranean coast may be fuelling this year’s floods.

This has been France’s hottest since 1900, according to the state meteorological service.

The deaths came just days after intense rain sparked flash floods in the Spanish holiday island of Majorca, killing 12 people, including two Britons. On Sunday, near-hurricane winds hit Portugal, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without power before carrying heavy rain on into Spain.

Twenty-seven people suffered minor injuries.

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has announced that he will pay off crippling debts for 850 farmers in his home state, throwing his support behind agrarian workers who have been demanding more government support.

Mr Bachchan, 76, said he also previously helped more than 350 farmers in the western state Maharashtra, whose capital is Mumbai, by paying off their loans.

"It has been a most satisfying experience to give some to them our countrymen that sacrificed their lives for us”, he wrote on his personal blog.

“More needs to be done from other parts of the country too. It shall be done.”

Indian farmers have faced a turbulent year with soaring fuel costs, monsoon-damaged crops and empty promises of government minimum-price support causing tens of thousands of them to take out exorbitant loans from moneylenders or microfinance banks to make up shortfalls.

Mr Bachchan said: "Over 350 farmers loans that were difficult to pay off , and to prevent them from committing suicide, was paid off some days back too.

“Now a list of over 850 farmers from Uttar Pradesh have been identified and their loans amounting to over Rs 550m (611,000) shall be taken care of.”

The agricultural crisis has seen tens of thousands of farmers fatally despairing, accounting for 11 per cent of suicides in India. The latest available data for 2016 showed 11,370 took their lives that year.

Estimates suggest 300,000 have killed themselves in the past 10 years, though there is no consensus on the exact reason.

There have been several demonstrations this year by farmers – thousands marched on Delhi two weeks ago, only to be met with police using teargas and water cannon.

An arts centre in Hong Kong hosting the city’s annual international literary festival has cancelled appearances by Ma Jian, the exiled Chinese writer said on Thursday, in the latest example of China tightening its control on freedom of expression.

Ma, who now lives in London and whose books are banned in China, was due to promote his latest novel at the festival this weekend.

China Dream is a dark satire inspired by the propaganda catchphrase of Xi Jinping, the president of China.

The writer posted on Twitter that both his festival speaking engagements scheduled for Saturday had been called off by the Tai Kwun Arts Centre, not festival organisers who are trying to find an alternative venue.

"Just been told that my two events at the Hong Kong International Literary Festival this week can no longer be held at Tai Kwun, where all the other events are taking place,” Mr Ma wrote in his tweet. “An alternative venue will have to be found. No reason has been given to me yet.”

The Hong Kong International Literary Festival on Thursday confirmed it had been "asked to change the venue for two events by Tai Kwun,” according to a statement. “We aren’t speculating on the reasons for the move and instead focus on our mission of ensuring our authors are all heard.”

The festival launched last Friday and is scheduled to run through this Sunday.

A spate of recent events have stoked concerns that liberties in Hong Kong are under serious threat from an increasingly aggressive China. The former British colony has long enjoyed freedoms that were negotiated when the city was returned to Beijing by Britain in 1997, but concerns are growing that rights are being eroded by Chinese authorities.

Last week, an art show by dissident Chinese-Australian political cartoonist Badiucao was cancelled by Hong Kong organisers over safety issues after “threats made by Chinese authorities relating to the artist.”

In October, Hong Kong authorities also denied a visa without explanation to a Financial Times journalist who hosted a speech by the leader of a Hong Kong separatist political party at the city’s foreign press club. That group, the Hong Kong National Party, was deemed an illegal organisation in September.

And the city’s publishers have been under intense pressure ever since five booksellers known for printing scurrilous titles about China’s leaders disappeared in 2015 only to turn up a year later  in custody on the mainland.

Mr Ma’s newest book “charts the psychological disintegration of a Chinese provincial leader who is haunted by nightmares of his violent past,” wrote its publishers, Penguin. It is “a biting satire of totalitarianism that reveals what happens to a nation when it is blinded by materialism and governed by violence and lies.”

Mr Ma has said he couldn’t find a Hong Kong publisher willing to put out a Chinese translation of China Dream given the book’s political content. The English version of the book was released in Britain last week.

Pen Hong Kong, one chapter of the international writers’ society founded in London, said it was "deeply concerned" that the cancellation was linked to political pressures.

“Pen Hong Kong calls on Tai Kwun to clarify why it cancelled this award-winning author’s events, and to affirm its commitment to freedom of expression in Hong Kong,” said Jason Ng, president of Pen Hong Kong.

“The cancellation appears to be at the very least an act of self-censorship, which would add to a growing list of incidents of suppression of free expression in Hong Kong. It is all the more jarring that the decision was made by a publicly funded venue that claims to celebrate and support the arts and creativity.” 

A receptionist who answered the phone at Tai Kwun Arts Centre said Mr Ma’s events would be relocated without providing further details.

Most WWE fans are looking forward to the Survivor Series pay-per-view this Sunday night, but on the night before competitors from Raw and SmackDown go head to head, NXT Takeover will be taking place. This Saturday’s Takeover show will feature the return of the WarGames match, and the very best talents from the NXT brand will be featured on the card. However, the Takeover event could very well mark the final NXT appearances for some members of the current roster. It appears that there may be a few main roster call-ups in the works at the moment, and some of these NXT wrestlers could be appearing on the main WWE brands not too long after Survivor Series comes to an end this weekend.
According to a report from Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is expected to bring in a few new additions to the main roster after Survivor Series occurs this Sunday. Which NXT Superstars being considered for the promotions were not revealed, but the debuts could be taking place as soon as Raw next Monday night and on SmackDown the following evening. The events from NXT Takeover: WarGames will likely determine who may be on the way out of WWE’s developing third brand. NXT is loaded with incredible talent such as Ricochet, The Velveteen Dream, The Undisputed Era, and Aleister Black just to list a few names, so WWE’s two top brands could definitely benefit from receiving some fantastic new competitors from NXT very soon.
During Triple H’s recent media call to promote NXT Takeover: WarGames, “The Game” was asked about the possibility of WWE bringing back the Breaking Ground reality series, which was a behind the scenes WWE Network series about NXT stars training in the Performance Center. Although Triple H did not appear confident that the show would return, WWE has instead chosen to launch a brand new YouTube channel completely dedicated to the PC and the aspiring wrestlers training inside of the Orlando facility. Three videos have been uploaded to the channel already: a behind the scenes video showing the process of creating action figures with Mattel, an “Ask the PC” video, and the first episode of the mini-documentary, Arrival. The first episode of arrival focuses on the signing and debut of Matt Riddle.
