Galeno del Mal (who seems to always post the top three match results soon after they happen), on the Box Y Lucha forum, says Mr. Aguila appeared with Perros del Mal tonight.

Sounds like, incredibly, the crowd turned back for Atlantis now that he’s turned on them – and booed Wagner, Mistico, and Santo. I need a second review on that.

In the IWRG match, the champs retain. Traditional lucha three falls match, coming down to Rey and Tanahashi in the final fall, and Tanahashi got the Dragon Suplex for the win.

09/30 news

It’s Friday, so the only Ovaciones article is the Arena Mexico preview. Of note, Tarzan all for Atlantis as a rudo and partner, as long as he doesn’t screw up tonight.

In the newest Blue Demon comic, he’s getting beat down by…Los Perros del Mal, Hector Garza and el Hijo del Perro Aguayo. (But they’re his friends! I suspect mind control or a misunderstanding.)

There’s speculation over on the Box Y Lucha board that the season ending show will be on 12/09.

La Mascara will (attempt to) defend his CMLL Welterweight Title at least twice next week: Monday in Puebla vs Misterioso II and Wednesday in Tampico versus Sangre Azteca.

There’s a rumor that Pantera was in a car accident, but I haven’t seen it offically confirmed anywhere.

Edit: Ernesto O’Campo says there was a car accident. While Pantera and his 13 year old son were not seriously hurt, Pantera’s 9 year old son passed away. Condolences to his family.

Not sure if I’ll be around tonight. There should be results up by noon tommorow.

Lucha Times

Saturday: Split feed; West Coast gets it four hours late. Heavy Metal vs Halloween main events, still in the middle of the Perro/Casas stuff. The opening Colise trio doesn’t look bad.

Sunday: Rerun of Mistico/Ultimo. Though it’s not accurately listed on the site, it looks like the pregame for the U17 championship starts 5 miutes befor the hour for the West Coast feed – so if you miss the finish of the match, don’t look at me.

I so need to catch up on watching stuff.

The 10/20 Santo anniversary show is a Lucha 2000 promotion. People Santo’s beat for their masks who are on the card: Scorpio Jr., Cuchillo, Hijo del Cobarde, Kato Kung Lee, Super Parka, Dr. Cerbero, Hijo del Espanto and Silver King (!). Like the last Lucha 2000 show, they’ll allow them to wear the masks for the night.

Ovaciones has the greatest filler preview of a show ever. They know La Guerra de Titanes is happening, but they talk about how they don’t know what date it’ll happen, where it’ll happen, if it’ll be the last AAA show of the year, or what will main event it. And that’s the whole article.

Halcon #29 is up. Inside:
– interview with Olimpico. He says he wrestled as Popcatl el Inmortal for his first year of wrestling, and has been Olimpico for the last 12. He felt he was going nowhere as a tecnico, so he turned. In his view, his injury happened because he didn’t grab the top rope on his way over, causing him to lose control of his dive. But that’s part of the job, which has taken him places he’d never thought he’d go. He was pretty happy with how fast he returned. His current goal is to beat up on the Casas family.
– Arena Mexico recap.
– Interview with Tigre Blanco. He’s been wrestling for ten years, and hopes he and Metalico get a title shot soon.
– LLF recap.
– Talk about the results of a Mano Negra, Rambo, Cuchillo vs Matematico, Villano II, Super Astro match from 09/18.

09/27 news

Ovaciones now has a different card for Friday’s Arena Mexico show.

4) Hiroshi Tanahashi & Shinsuke Nakamura vs GdI (Olimpico & Rey Bucanero) [IWGP TAG]
5) Mistico, Dr. Wagner Jr., El Hijo del Santo vs GdA (Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Tarzan Boy)

The Mistico match now makes a lot more sense, but that’s a much lesser IWGP Tag match. CMLL.com makes no mention of a change, and as you’ll see the Box Y Lucha interviews, Dr. Morales was under the impression the original match was the one that was being run. Either something that changed over the weekend or someone screwed up. Or both, I guess.

EDIT: CMLL.com confirms the match changes. suck suck suck.

There’s a Paucha preview, quick deferring words about Atlantis from Ultimo and Rey, and a mention of Negro and Felino’s IWGP JR TAG match. Trhy’re mentioned as heading over on 10/03, so I assume they’re working sometime besides the 10/08 Tokyo Dome show.

Ovaciones hints towards an Averno/Santo rivalry based on Averno pulling of his mask during the GP. Santo will also be a special 10/20 Arena Coliseo show (a Thursday, so it’s probably not CMLL booked) for his 23rd anniversary as a wrestler. Mil Mascaras, Villano III, Blue Panther, and a whole bunch of people Santo’s beaten for their masks are expected to be present.

Box Y Lucha updated sometime after the Metro chat. Inside #2773
– Championship Poster of Marcela
– Quick Santo bio
Interview with Nakamura and Tanahashi about the title match. They’re #1 in the world, and Ultimo and Rey will see.
– Interview with Rey and Ultimo about the title match. They’re #1 and the belts are staying in Mexico.
– AAA recap. For what it’s worth, they do mention a disturbance, but only after the main event when Chessman tried to leave without getting his head shaved.
– Interview with Martha Villalobos. Among other things, she seems pleased women’s wrestling returned to Arena Mexico.
– Interview with Zumbido, who wants it clear he was never gone from AAA. He goes on to thank everyone he can think of for being in wrestling.
– Interview with Tarzan Boy. He’s confused about his dual group membership, he’s disappointed to just be hanging around the periphery, with no sort of rival or title chase. There’s also someone doing a clothing line use his name and image, which he’s not given permission for, and he’s not very pleased about that.
– Pentagon Black talks about his start in wrestling.
