05/16 news

I really ought to start doing this over the weekend, because this got really long.

SuperLucha’s cover is on Tiger Mask I (Tiger Enmascardo)’s trip to Mexico.

1) Leono, Meteorix b Flecha, Artillero
2) Ricky Marvn, Zumbido, Alan Stone b Sangre Azteca, Mr. Mexico, Loco Max
3) La Mascara b Dr. X [MEX WELTER]
Both Super Luchas and Ovaciones noted this was an extremely fast three falls match. O’Campo has it as falls of 1:51, 0:54, 2:27. Eh.
4) Hector Garza, Damian 666, Halloween b Heavy Metal, Mascara Magica, Negro Casas
Some bad communication between Mascara Magica and the Casas’ led to their defeat, and Magica was mad at them post match.
5) Tiger Mask I, Ultimo Dragon, Dos Caras Jr. b GdI (Ultimo, Rey, Tarzan.)
This week, the feud’s between Ultimo Guerrero and Dos Caras.
6) Mistico b el hijo del Perro Aguayo
Here, the final fall went 11+. Sounds like a good match, too.

Toryumon (SAT) 05/14 Arena Mexico Results [KrisZ]
Ovaciones says over 8000 fans
1) Chuichiro Arai b Guillermo Akiba
2) Ringo Mendoza & Americo Rocca DRAW Negro Nevarro & Jorge Rivera
3) Nidia b Linda Miles
Linda’s most reediming quality is Google.translation messing up her name
4) Brazo de Oro, Brazo de Plata, Villano III b Okumura, Taguchi, Masada
5) Los Saleseros Japonesas (Mango Fukuda, Pineapple Hanai, Takeshi Minaminno) b Los Cadates del Espacio (Solar I, Super Astro, Ultraman) [UWA Trios]

Mistico gains a bag of rice and a fax machine for his victory! Mistico has an odd life.
7) Rayo de Jalisco, Tigre Mask I, Ultimo Dragon b Ultimo Guerrero, Rey Bucanero, Tarzan Boy

OELL (SAT) 05/14 Aurora, IL Results
1) Payasos Krazie b El Momio
Who do you root for in the clown vs mummy battle? Program listed this as Krazie, though he looked like the Loco who’s been wrestling as a rudo elsewise. The best part of this match: referee patting down El Momio for weapons. He’s a mummy, where is he going to hid weapons?
2) Rudo Cortez b Diego Corelone & Punto (sp?)
There were no actual tags. They just kinda switched places at random times in the match. Rudo is a face.
3) Great Milenko & Christopher Michaels b Alto & Skinny White Guy
That may not be his actual name. Mineko and Michael’s valet also got up in the apron and randomlly tagged in at various times. I about died on the last fake hot tag; this went on to long without actually going anywhere intersting. So long. So not what I wanted. So in desperate need of lucha on a lucha show. The rudo trio seemed to enjoy the rest of the show, so at least they got something out of it. No Discovery.
4) Mascarita Sagrada & Mini Psicosis II b Guerrerito del Futuro & Tyme Page
The Mini Psicosis who owns the purple outfit. They really didn’t have Sagrada and Page work much, which makes sense because Tyme’s like 1.75 Mascartias tall. Also, having three straight heel bits which consisted of the heels yelling at the fans for being there kinda got old – at least Tyme mixed up by speaking Spanish. No Spiderboy.
5) Universo 2000 and ??? DQ Pierroth and el Hijo del Pierroth
I still have no idea who it was. I meant Averno’s costume when he first joined with Satanico. “Infernal II” was listed on the program – maybe him? They did the hair match tease, and the only change was Universo being the one bolting to the back ASAP.
(same basic show on Sunday)

AAA (SUN) 05/15 TripleMania XIII Results [BoxYLucha MessageBoard]
Ovaciones has a fluffy history of TripleMania/AAA piece instead of results. Must’ve missed the deadline. This report has the place 90% sold out.
1) Angel, Mascartia Sagrada, Pimpinela Escarlata, Lady Apahce b Texano, Mini Abismo Negro, Polvo de Estrella, Tiffany
2) Tinieblas Jr., Pirata Morgan, Monsther (w/Chucky) vs Tinieblas Sr. (w/Alushe), Alebrije (w/Cuije), Hijo de Anibal
Reported as boring, with Junior unwilling to fight Senior.
3) Electro Shock, Intocable, CIMA b Charly Manson, Mr. Aguila, Hator
4) Psicosis DRAW Nicho
I’m not sure what happened here, but it sounds like Histeria might have attacked both.
In between matches, they did a angle with Shocker’s father and Cibernetico
5) Zorro, Juventued Guerrera, Luzbek DQ Apocalypse, Al Katrass, Predator
Someone from the outside ran in for the Americans to cause the DQ. Zorro ended up being stretchered out.
6) Konnan b Vampiro
Konnan won by low blow. They somehow set up a Cibernetico vs Konnan match for the LLL Title in the post match. I dunno.
6) Latin Lover, La Parka, Octagon b Cibernetico, Chessman, Fuerza Guerrera
Score one for luchainsider!

2) Valiente, Zigma & Blue Center vs Toro Bill Jr., Furia Chicana & Bobby Jack
3) StarMAN, Tigre Rojo and the Tiger vs Blade, Negro Navarro and Tarahumara

Wouldn’t bet on him actually wrestling here.

CMLL (FRI) 05/20 Arena Mexico [O’Campo]
1) Shockercito & Mini Olimpico vs Pierrothito & Fire
2) Metro, Zumbido, Alan Stone vs Dr. X, Nitro, Sangre Azteca
Metro is debuting. In the vein of AAA’s Televisa Deportes, Metro is apparently a magazine sponosring the show, according to luchainsider.
3) Universo 2000, Mascara Magica, Apolo Dantes vs Halloween, Damian, Terrible
Odd followup to Magica and the Casas not getting along, seeing as Magica can’t possibly turn and join this rudo trio. Maybe he’s going to be a replacement Capo – I’d enjoy it for the Los Dos Mascara team. (again)
4) Heavy Metal, Negro Casas, Mistico vs Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Hector Garza, Tarzan Boy
5) Ultimo Guerrero vs Dos Caras Jr.

CMLL (SUN) 05/22 Arena Coliseo [O’Campo]
1) Molotov & Meteorix vs Jeque & Flecha
2) Texano Jr., Neutron, Brazo de Plata Jr. vs Guerrero del Futuro, Mogur, Koreano
3) Safari, Alan Stone, Chris Stone vs Hooligan, Masada, Mr. Mexico
4) Dos Caras Jr., Atlantis, Satanico vs Tarzan Boy, Pierroth, Mephisto
5) Universo 2000, Heavy Metal, Negro Casas vs Hijo del Perro Aguayo & Damian, Halloween
This is a ‘double main event’. CMLL.com is teasing a proper Universo tecnico turn, which would start to unconfuse lots of things.

If all that’s not enough text for you, I snuck in recaps for 04/09 and 05/14 late last night. I’m down to 20 hours of unrecapped TV on my TiVo, only 4 of AAA.

4 thoughts to “05/16 news”

  1. I *guess*. Luchainsider said he was still deciding – but luchainsider also was sure Silver King was showing up on TripleMania two sentences later.

  2. “Mistico gains a bag of rice and a fax machine for his victory! Mistico has an odd life.”

    LMAO. Oh man that was an awesome line.

    The AAA recaps are very impressive. But why do the AAA recaps before the CMLL ones? Could it be deep down inside you really do enjoy AAA? Hmmmm… I wonder, I really do wonder…

    I figure Mascara Magica wrestles so rarely that when he shows up, everyone kinda goes “oh man, I can’t remember what we had you doing last time” so eventually he’ll go back to being an undercard masked tecico facing the likes of Guerrero Del Futuro and Valentin Mayo. I wouldn’t miss him. What the fuck is with that legdrop to the opponent’s leg?

    Veneno > Tigre Blanco for this night. My math tells me that means Kris Z > Ryan F.

    How can you score one for the luchainsider? By my count he predicted: Wagner, Black Tiger, Bucanero, Guerrero, Tarzan, Fuerza, Scorpio Jr. and Bestia Salvaje. So score one still puts him at -7.

    Metro is a local Guadalajara guy whose “padrino” is Mascara Sagrada. Padrinos used to be a big deal in Lucha Libre. When a new wrestler would debut at a big arena and the promotion had big plans for them, one of the veteran workers would escort him to the ring and there’d be a little ceremony. If you were a Jr., obviously your father did it with you. But with other guys they had to be creative. For example Mistico’s padrino was Fray Tormenta. Ultimo Dragon’s padrino was Octagon. When Metro made his Guadalajara debut, Sagrada came out with him although many find that odd since rumor has it Metro = Bestia Salvaje Jr.. No shit. But I guess it would look silly to have Bestia out there with him since he was playing the masked tecnico and Bestia is an ugly rudo.

    Is there some reason you have the Toryumon Mexico results as having three seperate match 5’s?

    Awesome update. This is becoming THE site for lucha news archives.

  3. Think anyone taped the XLAW show? More interested in seeing more of Extreme Tiger than I am of Aries Vs. Marvin and Crazy…

    If by chance anyone who knows if it was taped sees this please email me ! :D
