lucha in WWE notes

KrisZ says Original Mascarita Sagrada (Tzuki) and Octagoncito are in.

I *think* we’re talking about about the original Octagoncito there; even going to the handy dandy List of Minis and their gimmicks can’t straigthen me out.

I sure hope Mistico doesn’t show up on RAW. Who would he even face, if they’re not bringing someone in to wrestle him? There are matches which wouldn’t be half bad, but I can’t think of a natural rival. If he comes in, he really has to be on the SmackDown! side.

You know, Kane does return tonight. Maybe this is all an elobrate setup for some crash dummies work. We’ve seen sillier.

10/17 news

I’ll tackle the WWE stuff in a separate post, later – waiting around to see if more information surfaces this afternoon. In case you didn’t notice it in the comments, Meltzer said WWE is talking to Pena on Monday, so we’re dealing with that group of minis.

CMLL (FRI) 10/14 Arena Mexico Results [ova]
1) Sombra de Plata, Ray Tapatio I & II b Flecha, Caligula, Mesala
2) Okumura, Masada, Ohara b Maximo, Pantera, Metro
3) Ultimo Dragon, Hijo de Lizmark, Negro Casas b Tarzan Boy, Averno, Mephisto
4) Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mr. Aguila, Halloween, Damian 666 DQ Universo 2000, Mascara Ano 2000, Apolo Dantes, Pierroth
First two falls were draws (I’m thinking DDQs), and Universo kicked Perro low in the final fall. Ovaciones says all of his partners were restrained by security because the brawl had gotten so out of hand, so I’m thinking Universo made it pretty well with that finish.
5) Mistico b Atlantis
Ref bump, and Mistico may have pulled the mask to get the pin in the final fall. The quick box y lucha forum take was Atlantis dominated the match and Mistico got a fluke pin to win it; of course that’s not CMLL’s view. Obviously not the finish you do if you think Mistico’s leaving the company on Monday.

IWRG cards to come when they post complete lineups.

Mistico defended his NWA Middleweight Championship in Guadalajara last night. No word yet, but I think we can guess who one.

CMLL.com has the lineups for the Leyenda de Plata. Oddly, they’ve changed up the format: two nights of 8 man ciberneticos (though they don’t explicitly say cibernetico), with the winners meeting the third week. No idea if Perro being the reigning champion plays into this at all, but he’s not mentioned.

Group A (10/28): La Mascara, Volador Jr., Misterioso II, Averno, Jado, a new Hombre Sin Nombre (???), Negro Casas, El Hijo del Santo
Group B (11/04): Atlantis, Mephisto, Hijo de Pierroth, Gedo, Maximo, Sagrado, Ultimo Dragon, Mistico
Final (11/11)

I’m not sure if the groups are actually unbalanced, or if I just happen to like many more guys in Group A than I do Group B and my thoughts are skewed. The final seems like to be Negro Casas or El Hijo del Santo vs Atlantis or Mistico, and while I think seeing Negro vs Mistico would be neat, I think we’re most likely to get Santo vs Atlantis.

I don’t even have the slightest clue who HsN is this time. They say it’s a debut, which means it’s very unlikely to be Rayman again.

Looks like the Super Lucha recaps are MIA this week as well; I forgot to note, but O’Campo’s recap was equally missing from it’s usually Halcon spot, with someone else filling in

Box Y Lucha is doing a chat with Mike Seguira at 2pm today.
