Day: February 1, 2006

The listings on galavision.com appear to be wrong at the moment – they’re listing the March schedules instead of the Feburary ones.

Saturday: The other listings I’ve checked all have the show airing at 12 noon EST. No idea about the West Coast feed, check your local listings. The noteworthy item is the first of two ciberneticos for the Junior version of the Mexican G1.

Sunday: Groon’s debut, one more time.

GdR: Since my accuracy picking here is horrible (last week I wasn’t helped by looking at the wrong week), I thought I might sit down for a second and analyze what’s been showed, in hopes I might one day correcly pick what will be shown.

Notice any patterns?

The one week they didn’t show the Sunday main event was the Atlantis/Mistico one. Maybe it was just too big for them to give away on TV? Maybe someone botched something badly and they didn’t want us to see? Your theory is better than mine.

Anyway, I’m going with the main event from Sunday (Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr., Mr. Niebla b Atlantis, Tarzan Boy, Universo 2000) and the Negro/Mistico/Olimpico match from Friday.

Voting is now open for the 2005 Tapatia awards: ballot, more information, discussion – the links are on the side bar as well, and there’s a discussion thread on DVDVR. Voting closes on the 17th.

1) Mr. Rafaga, Murcielago b Blue Center, Kirvan
2) Bobby Jack, Toro Bill, Toro Bill Jr. b Fuerza Chicana, Furia Chicana, Siki Ozama
Rudos vs Rudos match. They teased a Toro Bill/Siki Osama hair match.
3) Espiritu Maligno, Hijo de Gran Markus, Maniacop b Asturiano, Centella de Oro, the Tigre
4) Averno, Hombre Sin Nombre, Terrible b Black Warrior, La Máscara, Satánico
5) Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Tarzan Boy b Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr.
The Box Y Lucha forum recap didn’t note anything odd, but Ovaciones says Atlantis was knocked out, and was taken to a hospital, though everything is apparently fine now fine enough that Ovaciones explicitly says Atlantis shouldn’t be able to use this as an excuse if he loses the NWA MW Title on Friday.

Now that Dos has actually beat Universo, he really really wants a title shot. I believe it’s a definite maybe.
