In February 2010 Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) held four CMLL Super Viernes shows, all of which took place Arena México on Friday nights. CMLL did not hold any special events on Fridays that would force a cancellation such as a pay-per-view (PPV). Some of the matches from Super Viernes are taped for CMLL's weekly shows that air in Mexico the week following the Super Viernes show. Super Viernes often features storyline feud between two wrestlers or group of wrestlers that develop from week to week, often coming to a conclusion at a major CMLL event or in a match on Friday nights between the individuals. In total Super Viernes featured 24 matches, 6 matches per week and 71 wrestlers appeared in matches during February, including six women and seven Mini-Estrellas. CMLL only held one match featuring the women's division, two featuring the Mini-Etrellas and four Lightning matches. Místico and Volador Jr. are the only wrestlers to appear on all four Super Vierens shows.
February's Super Viernes shows began with hosting the finals of the Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles tournament where Atlantis and Máscara Dorada defeated Negro Casas and La Máscara to win the tournament. In the months following the tournament Mascara Dorada appeared in several Super Viernes main events, elevating him up the rankings in CMLL from previously working more towards the middle of the card. The biggest storyline throughout February was the feud between Místico and Volador Jr. that had started in January. During February Volador Jr. won the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship from Místico, followed by Místico challenging Volador Jr. to put his mask on the line in a Lucha de Apuesta bet match. Later on the feud was extended to also encompass a rivalry between La Sombra (Volador, Jr's tag team partner) and El Felino. The storyline between the found lasted throughout February and into March where the four faced off at the 2010 Homenaje a Dos Leyendas event on March 19. February also saw the continuation of a feud between Mini-Estrellas Pequeño Black Warrior and Bracito de Oro that saw the two face off as part of various Best two out of three falls Six-woman tag team matches featuring other Mini-Estrellas.
February 5, 2010
Up until the February 5, 2010, Super Viernes show Místico's allegiance was undetermined, was he a Rudo (villain) or was he a Tecnico ("Fan Favorite")? During the main event the answer was that Místico was clearly a Rudo, at least in Arena México (In other arenas Místico continued to team with and get along with other CMLL tecnicos). Místico came out wearing the same outfit as the previous week, incorporating darker colors and horns on his mask and displayed the same rudo attitude as the previous week as he attacked Volador Jr. right away and began tearing at his mask. During the first fall of the match Místico ripped up Volador Jr.'s mask to such an extent that Volador Jr. accepted a replacement mask from a fan in the crowd, then that mask was ripped up as well drawing a disqualification for Místico, since intentional unmasking of an opponent is against the rules in Lucha libre. During the break between the first and second fall a replacement mask was brought out for Volador Jr. so that he could continue to wrestle. In the second fall Místico's underhanded tactics continued, he diverted the referees attention for a moment, then pulled his own mask off and threw it to Volador Jr. When the referee saw Volador Jr. holding Místico's mask he disqualified Volador Jr. mistakenly thinking that it was an intentional unmasking. In the third and deciding fall Místico tried to apply his signature move La Mística but Volador Jr. countered the move, then applied La Mística on Místico instead, forcing Místico to submit. After the match it was announced that because of his victory Volador Jr. would wrestle Místico for Místico's Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship on the February 12 Super Viernes show.
