06/04 (2): Accion, Congress

Accion highlights
CMLL: main event tag. Atlantis in a Black Warrior themed outfit is weird. They only show the finishes to the falls the tecnicos won.
AAA: Psicosis, Juvi, Crazy Boy vs Shocker, Zumbido and Scorpio Jr. in Tecuitlan, Puebla. Mexipowers have matching outfits. Lots of Crazy Boy/Zumbido stuff shown. We’re shown Juvi being declared winner although not how.

Congress was fine show for being free. Partial and probably incorrect results from memory – maybe torgoman will have them all later?

indy (SUN) 06/18 Congress Chicago Results
2) Angel de la Muerte b ? (Angel Dorado?)
3) Rayo Laser & SWAT Kat b Amenza de Siglo & Aguila del America
4) Lancer 2000 & Gringo Loco b Mini Charly Manson & Mini Guerrero del Futuro
this was a fine match; nice to see Gringo Loco back in the building
5) Canek & Lizmark b Satanico & Emilio Charles Jr.
I was suprised how over Canek was. Lizmark’s act is the same as Atlantis’ tecnico act, but since that hasn’t been drilled into my head every week for a while, it seems fresh. Neat to see Satanico actually working rudo; he hasn’t really been one much since I started watching. Emilio fainted during a pose off with Canek, and it was great.

No next show was announced, but it seems like there may be on 06/18 with Rey Misterio Sr. vs Blue Demon (two different promoters for lucha shows in the same building, maybe?)

06/04 news: Super Lucha, notes

Ovaciones’ site is down at the moment.

It reads like the GA was a bit longer live than it was on TV, not that it helps anyway. Though – what are we really expecting here? When was the last one night tournament airing on CMLL TV which was good, or even average? It’s solely a results/storyline event, and if you’re not interested in those things, you’re going to be eternally disappionted.

Brackets have been announced for AJPW’s Junior Heavyweight Singles League (06/25 – 07/03)
A: Kaz Hayashi, TAKA Michinoku, Ryuji Hijikata, “brother” YASSHI
B: Katsushi Takemura, Masada, Katsuhiko Nakajima, Virus
Those are small blocks, but I believe it’s a short tour.

Super Luchas 164 focuses on Rey Mysterio vs Sabu in ECW. More pages can be found here.

I’m off to the Congress lucha show in a bit an hour. I’ll have notes on that and Accion later on.
