Last night was the big Arena Mexico show for CMLL that had the CMLL vs. TNA Gran Prix match. TNA did very well for themselves, as Alex Shelley of the Motor City Machine Guns was the lone survivor of the Gran Prix picking up the Gran Prix trophy for TNA. This is actually pretty interesting, as very few International teams win the Gran Prix. In fact it is the first time an Internatinoal man/team has won the Gran Prix since 1997. Looks like TNA & CMLL's 'working relationship' is going very well. Johnny Devine replaced Christopher Daniels in the Gran Prix for some reason and the match was said to be VERY good and clocked in at about an hour long. In a little another intesting not, Ultimo Guerrero challenged Alex Shelley to a mask vs. hair match afterwards and Shelley said he needed time to think about it. With Ultimo Guerrero & Rey Bucanero returning for some TNA house show soon we may get to see them return to Impact to do an angle?
