A look ahead....

The Capital fight network blog will be keeping our eyes on four promotions and their shows this upcoming weekend.

New Japan is continuing their winter tour as they build to the PPV event on January 20th. WWE's MVP will make his New Japan debut on that show. A feud with Taka Michinoku and Prince Devitt continues on their cards and is something I'm looking forward to seeing. Here is the lineup for the final night of the tour. This should take place around 5am Friday morning to start the weekend off.

CMLL has a bunch of cards this upcoming week, along with a split squad on Sunday with a Fan Appreciation day show at Arena Mexico, and a card in Guadalajara. We will be following both of those shows as we get updates from other blogs. The return of Mr. Niebla should be interesting to watch.

CMLL is supposed to hold a press conference later this week which might change some of these lineups, and will comment on Mistico leaving the company. CMLL has been my favorite promotion here in 2011 with La Sombra and Mascara Dorada reviving my interest in Lucha Libre. Here are the shows we will be keeping track of this weekend.
