Day: March 25, 2006

CMLL.com posted lineups for this week, and there’s some significant news coming out of them

– Arena Mexico’s main event will indeed be Black Warrior vs Mistico, and they do appear to be on the road to a mask match.
– They’ll also be running a 2006 edition of La Copa Junior, which had previously been reported (just by Dave?) as being canceled for this year. Shocker won last year, but, uh, he won’t be defending the title. The lineup

Dr. Wagner Jr. (Dr. Wagner Sr.)
Brazo de Plata (Shadito Cruz)
Dos Caras Jr. (Dos Caras Sr.)
La Mascara (Brazo De Oro)
Lizmark Jr. (Lizmark)
Heavy Metal (Pepe Casas)
Volador Jr. (“Remo Banda”)
Negro Casas (Pepe Casas)
Perro Aguayo Jr. (Perro Aguayo Sr.)
Olimpico (Roy Aguirre)
Hector Gazra (Humberto Garza)
Apolo Dantes (Alfonso Dantes)
Mascara Magica (Troyano)
Mephisto (Kahoz)
Misterioso II (Misterioso)
Averno (Rodolfo Ruiz)

It appears it’ll be one night of 15 matches instead of over three weeks as last year. That didn’t work out well at all with Leyenda de Azul last year and I would expect a short main event as a result. I don’t believe these are in bracket order or anything; they’ll probably do the battle royal seeding. I have no idea who wins – Dos? Metal? Garza? I’d be against Perro, because

– Not to completly bury the lede, but: 16 days after Perro Aguayo Jr. beat Universo 2000 for his hair, they’ll already have their first big rematch, next Sunday in Arena Coliseo. Expect cheap finishes and Universo getting his win back.

Galavision’s airing what I have listed, in case you’re wondering.

Starman sure looks like he eats well in that picture.

Canal52’s website listings are wrong. Should’ve always trusted Mesala.

Lineup:
03/19 Coliseo: La Máscara, Pantera, Satánico b Hombre Sin Nombre, Masada, Misterioso II
03/19 Coliseo: Mistico b el Hijo del Perro Aguayo

Seems like they’re going to air a bonus match from Arena Coliseo on any week with a major Arena Mexico show (rather than air whatever was unaired there.)

2) Mini Olimpico, Ultimo Dragoncito, Kirvan vs Sombrita, Espiritu Maligno, Toro Bill Jr.

YES! I’m thrilled beyond reason and logic. Now onto other stuff.

CMLL (FRI) 03/24 Arena Mexico Results [box y lucha]
1) Flecha, Ramstein b Leono, Starman
2) Amapola, Medusa, Princesa Sujei b Dark Angel, Diana La Cazdora, Princesa Blanca
Amapola, ropes, Dark Angel. You’ve heard this tune.

4) el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mr. Águila, Terrible b Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Mr. Niebla
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Mistico, Negro Casas DQ Atlantis, Black Warrior, Último Guerrero
Warrior, Mistico, whatever. You’ve heard this tune. New wrinkle is Warrior wants a singles match next week. Think maybe Warrior gets the big singles win to set up the mask match?

Hey, so, it’s 12:40 and I’m done for the day, right? Right? (If I manage to tape GdR tommorow, I’ll post what was on.)
