01/31 news: scattered results

Ovaciones had no news today.

Last night, WWE had a combined SmackDown!/RAW taping, and the Juniors returned on the show. The spoiler reports have (a) Octagoncito versus “one all in blue.” The WO.com report says he looked like Max Mini, so I’m thinking Tzuki? I’m not sure.

Luchas 2000 #302’s cover [must be logged into to Box Y Lucha] is on the Black Tiger (III) vs LA Park mask match.

Atlantis defends the NWA Middleweight Title tommorow in Acapulco.

Guess not!

Site’s been down most of the day due to a hard drive dying. I’m told everything should be fine now, but I don’t have time to put an update together right now. (And it’s a pretty slow day.) Maybe some stuff later.

01/30 News: Sunday results, Box Y Lucha notes, lineups

CMLL (SUN) 01/29 Arena Coliseo Results [ova]

5) Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr., Mr. Niebla b Atlantis, Tarzan Boy, Universo 2000

Both Shockercito and Lizmark Jr. were stretchered out. Lizmark Jr. hurt his elbow badly enough that they’re going to be x-raying for damage in the next couple of days.

They had a visitor or two:

Super Lucha #146 focuses on Black Cat, and the murder who was once a luchadora. Their monthly Grafico edition has WWE in Mexico pictures.

IWRG (SUN) 01/29 Arena Naucalpan Results [ova]
1) Kid Tiger, Panterita b Carta Brava, Super Colt
2) Kung Fu Jr., Marco Rivera, Star Boy b Kaleth, Némesis, Pirata Morgan Jr.

4) Cerebro Negro, Scorpio Jr., Veneno b Lizmark Sr., Matrix, Mr. Niebla
5) Canek b Head Hunter I

Card got changed sometime during the week to the singles main event. It was a bloody match with Corporation interference, but Canek managed to get a hold of a chair and use it to bring himself to victory.

CMLL (SUN) 01/29 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara Results [cmll]
1) Flama b Ray Romero
2) Metro (Guadalajara) b Fraile de la Muerte

5) Máximo, Sagrado, Texano Jr. b Danger, Infierno, Magnum [MEX TRIOS]
6) Mephisto, Olímpico, Pierroth b Felino, Negro Casas, Rayman

I think I got that 4th match right, but I’m not sure. Regardless, Cesar wanted a shot at Neutron’s title, but Neutron would only give it Nube Roja gets a shot at Malefico’s hair, so that’s what we’ll have next week.

NGX (SAT) 01/28 Legends of the Deathmatch Results
1) La Nazi & Poly Star b Dark Angel & Simply Luscious and Marcela & India Sioux
2) Vertigo b Shenky
3) Lord Byron b Scam 13

6) Damian 666 b Supreme and Sandman

Crazy Boy is headed to Japan for Zero One from 02/07 and 04/03.

According to Figure 4: Super Porky and “4 other Mexicans” have been signed to WWE. Bryan didn’t know who they were either, so I’m sure they’re very high on them. I’m guessing it’s minis, because Pierrothito was talking about hearing about his contract status around now, but we’ll know shortly.

Dr. Keith got interviews with Rey Bucanero and Mistico last night at the Congress show; I’ll post links when they’re up.

Mascara Sagrada has an angry interview about someone selling lesser-quality versions of his mask on the internet (with the implication being he’s upset abotu the qualitity and not that he’s not getting a cut of the sale, which can’t be right). The difference between this and every other story of this kind is he’s accusing fellow wrestler Kung Fu Jr. of doing the pirating.

Box Y Lucha #2751 is up (they didn’t put up the Texano issue)
Cover gives the most space to Perro vs Atlantis
Poster is a classic shot of Texano.
– Articles about the many recently deceased: Kuroneko, indy wrestler Perla Rey, indy wrestler Oso Grizzly and wrestler and referee Pepe Trolebus.
– Atlantis and Perro debate who’s going to be champion on Friday. It’s a usual “Youth” vs “Experience” debate
– Bio of Rito Romero
– Rambo tells another tale of his life in wrestling
– Sagrado tells the tale of how he couldn’t decide between a life in the preisthood and a life in wrestling, until he talked to Fray Tormenta and started on the path to CMLL.
– Casandro talks about his/her feud with Pimpinela, working in the US (even mentioning Chicago’s OMLL!), and why he/she’s too elegent to be in AAA, so he/she had to join LLL.

Box Y Lucha doesn’t seem to have new listings for this week, so the lineups are shorter than usual. Oh well.

Much Later: Lucha Awards Elsewhere

Didn’t get a chance to do this previously.

Information taken from Doctor Lao’s Intern (WON), RSPW.org and a list of magazine awards passed to me by a third party but I believe typed up by Steve Sims. For the WON and RSPW awards, I’m listing their highest eligible winner as the lucha pick of the year.

It should go without saying, but every voting group has it’s own biases and problems. And for a lot of the RSPW awards (which run from 12/04 to 11/05), they appear to just be what I voted for, because of the lack of other people who watched lucha voting.
