CMLL (TUE) 12/26 Arena Coliseo Results
1) Karissma, Sombra de Plata b Carrona, Vaquero
2) Sensei, Starman, Valiente b Artillero, Super Comando, Zayco
3) Apocalipsis, Dr. X, Ramstein b Fabian el Gitano, Leono, Tony Rivera
4) Nitro, Sangre Azteca, Terrible b Danger, Texano Jr., Virus
5) Averno, Mephisto, Olimpico b Heavy Metal, Negro Casas, Sagrado

Odd to see Karissma working tecnico. Carrona is an unmasked guy who can never seem to face the camera when they’re taking a picture. Danger replaced Mictlan – CMLL hasn’t posted anything on his injury. Terrible cheated to help his team win that match. You see how Averno won the main event.

This would be the perfect time of year to run an Arena Coliseo Tag Team Title tournament.

CMLL (TUE) 12/26 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara Results
1) Virgo b Impostor
2) Neon b Flama
3) Antrax b Valentin Mayo
4) Nube Roja b Danger (Guadalajara)
5) Egipcio b Super Maquian
6) El Gallo, Metro II DQ Mascara Magica, Toxico
7) Hijo de Pierroth, Okumura, Pierroth b Rayman, Rey Bucanero, Satanico

In the main event, Rayman had Pierroth pinned, but there was no ref. Someone from the crowd pounded the mat three times, and Rayman assumed that must’ve been the ref. Pierroth fouled him and got the win.

AAA LG (WED) 12/27 Unidad Deportiva Miguel Aleman Valdez Results [El Sol de Bajio]
1) Enigmatica L Polvo de Estrellas and May Flowers and Cinthia Moreno and Rossy Moreno and el Piero [cage, hair]
2) Charly Manson b Zorro [MEX HEAVY]
3) El Elegido, La Parka Jr. b Abismo Negro, Chessman

Before the show, the first match was listed with just the Morenos and the Exoticos, and I was amazed they were actually having a ‘star’ lose their hair at a spot show. Apparently, I’m a mark.

BAJA (MON) 12/25 Auditiro de Tijuana Results [the gladiatores]
1) Phantom, TG Power, Spank b Mascara Negra, Wama, El Galeno
2) King Azteca, Fobia, Pandillero II, Fabuloso Hernandez, Karisma, Cien Caras Jr., Pierroth Jr. b Pandillero I, Tornado Negro [blindfold, sf]
3) Pandillero I DRAW Tornado Negro [blindfold, final]
4) Angel Blanco Jr. b Super Astro [WWA MIDDLE]
5) Rey Misterio Sr., Hijo de Rey Misterio b Super Parka, Nicho
6) Mil Mascaras, Rayman, Shocker DQ Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila

The 2/3 matches were probably just supposed to be one – it was one of an escape elimination match (you pin someone, you’re leave) with everyone wearing blindfolds. The last two guys somehow ended up in a draw. The writer called it ‘the match of the year’, not because it was that good, but because it seemed to go that long. The Blanco/Astro match was good and there were apuesta challenges in the Misterio/Nicho/Parka match.

indy (MON) 01/01 Arena Mexico San Luis Potosi Lineup [Sol de SLP]
1) Sombra del Misterio vs Leopardo [Centro WELTER]
2) Cholo Mayor, Danys Boy, Lagarto vs Tigre del Ring, Mensajero, Creazy Star
3) Sabu Jr., Black Fantasy, Fuerza Maligna vs Super Liger, Goblin, Brujo Cosmico [Centro TRIOS]

indy (SUN) 01/02 Arena Coliseo Monterrey Lineup
1) Burrito vs Corazon Adicito
2) La Kalaka & Nacho Libre vs Ejecutor & Mixteco
3) Golden Boy vs Vudu
4) Mascara Pupura vs The Beast
5) Estrella Dorada Jr. vs Potro Jr.
6) Pancho Tequilla vs Humberto Garza Jr.
7) Dulce Poly vs Bandida [FILL FEMENIL]

The Beast’s manager? La Bella. They’ve been doing a mixed tag feud involving the two women in the main event, but it’s surprising (to me, anyway) that it ends up with the women and not the men in a big match.

This is the odd picture of someone in an Olimpico mask on the main page of Bell South‘s website. It’s a teaser for a Weird Jobs article, but they don’t list “luchador”.

12/28: Mistico, IWRG

Ovaciones has a story about Mistico jumping to AAA. It’s a joke. (Do not sound the funk alarm.) They did this last year and Dave Meltzer ended up falling for it, so that’s something to look forward to.

Here’s what a random google found, FWIW:

December 28, Day of the Holy Innocents, is a religious commemoration of King Herod’s ordering the slaughter of all male infants in his kingdom, intended to include the Christ Child. In Mexico it is celebrated as day akin to April Fool’s, an occasion for jokes and pranks. The usual tactic is to approach a friend and ask to borrow cash or some object of value. If fooled by the ploy, the victim may be given a candy or silly gift in return, along with much joking and name calling. So beware or you may find yourself titled Fool Saint for a day!

Ovaciones also has a story about Atlantis taking a vacation to Salt Lake City, which if in fact true, is also a joke. Actually, if it’s true, I would hope they bring a camera crew with to tape “Atlantis skis – and is a rudo!” skits. I mean, I guess CMLL shorter matches and AAA’s trend towards ‘extreme’ wrestling and other stuff could be voted as “worst development in lucha this year”, but for me, it’s the lack of wacky skits. I have a problem with show long bits that reveal the man under the Shocker mask to be, in fact, Shocker, but I’d be totally down with show long bits of Shocker and Dr. Wagner Jr. bowling and getting a strike in every frame.

IWRG (MON) 12/25 Arena Naucalpan Results [IWRG]
1) Black Stone b Golem
2) Comando Mega, Macho II b Bacteria, Dr. Karonte Jr.
3) Black Terry, Camorra, Supremo Jr. b Freelance, Halcon Salvaje, Star Boy
4) Freelance, Magico, Tony Rivera b Black Power, Estallido, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr.
5) El Hijo del Diablo, Fantasma de la Opera, Veneno b Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro, Suicida [IWRG IC TRIOS]

Veneno got eliminated in the third fall, but resurfaced to pop Cerebro Negro with a chain for the winning pin. IWRG’s results list this as a battle for vacant titles.

IWRG’s taking today off. Yay for them.

IWRG (MON) 01/01 Arena Naucalapan Lineup
1) Golem vs Black Stone
2) Bacteria & Ave Fenix vs Macho II, Comando Mega
3) Turbo, Freelance, Halcon Salvaje vs Supremo Jr., Avisman, Black Thunder
4) Suicida, Dr. Cerebro, Cerebro Negro vs Black Terry, Fantasma de la Opera, Camorra
5) Mr. Niebla, Negro Navarro, Leono vs Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Okumura, Veneno

Looks like all the Sunday shows are being moved to Monday again.

AAA LG (WED) 12/27 Unidad Deportiva Miguel Aleman Valdez Lineup [El Sol del Bajio]
1) May Flowers vs Polvo de Estrellas vs Rossy Moreno vs Cinthia Moreno [hair]

12/30, 31 Lucha Times

Chui’s TV wrapup for last week is here. And Victor’s back, recapping CMLL FSE and AAA TV.

No New Year’s pre-emptions.

AAA on GalaUS: 11/30 taping – the last show before Guerra de Titanes
CMLL GdR: One last Fabian el Gitano match for the year. And probably Mistico.

CMLL FSE: Taking it’s own winter break. They’ve got this week’s episode listed as a repeat, and it’s off the schedule until 01/21 after this week.

If it airs like normal this week, I’m still not sure. Maybe another women’s title match, and then some random match. They could move the Mistico match here and air the Volador/Averno match on GdR if it’s not airing on CMLL TV.

AAA on GalaMex: Best of Part 2 leading up to Muerte/Parka mask match?
CMLL on GalaMex: top 3 matches from this weekends show? Best of? Averno/Volador? not sure.

12/27: Monterrey, Puebla, IWRG

indy (TUE) 12/26 Arena Coliseo Monterrey Lineup
1) Burrito b Mini Burrito
2) Nuacho Libre b Sobra Sky
3) Vudu b La Kalaka
4) Golden Boy b Ejecutor
5) Mascara Purpura b Bestia
6) Estralla Doradad Jr. b Potro Jr.
7) Pancho Tequila & La Bndida b Humberto Garza Jr., Dulce Poly

I guess Purpura is back ‘home’ for the holidays.

CMLL (MON) 12/25 Arena Puebla Results [box y lucha via KrisZ]
1) Ares, Karissma b Fenix, Iron
2) Bobby Jack, Espiritu Maligno, Siki Osama b Astro Boy, the Tiger, Zigma
3) India Sioux, Lady Apache, Marcela b Amapola, Hiroka, Rosa Negra
4) Batman, Lizmark, Mictlan, Sagrado DQ Pierroth, Skandalo, Terrible, Yankee Star
Mictlan took a powerbomb on the outside and laid there. I guess they thought he was just selling it big, because it was ten minutes before they checked on him and strechered him out.
5) Atlantis, Terrible, Universo 2000 b Heavy Metal, Negro Casas, Sagrado

This post says someone said Mictlan suffered a Cervical Fracture. All reports on the show say the arena puebla staff was woefully unprepared and unreactive to the injury.

Ovaciones mentions the main event results for the last couple IWRG shows.

on Thursday: Coco Verde beat Dr. Cerebro for his hair in the finals of the cage match
on Monday: Hijo del Diablo, Veneno, Fantasma de Opera beat Dr. Cerebro, Cerebro Negro, and Suicida for the IWRG IC Trios Titles. Those belts were previously held by Veneno, Cerebro Negro and Scorpio Jr., so I guess this was a(n unannounced) decision match for the belts.

01/21 Congress Theater Lineup

FMLL (SUN) 01/21 Congress Theater Lineup
4) Lucifer, Aguila del America, Guerrero del Futuro vs SWAT Kat, Rayo Lazzer, El Dorado
5) Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Mil Mascaras vs Canek, el Cobarde

Also listed as appearances: Lupillo, Lancer 2000, Gringo Loco, Coco Negro, Coco Verde, Mascara de Jade, Angel de la Muerte, Sulieta Azul

I have a perverse desire to see that main event, though I’m not sure I could actually pay for it and look myself in the mirror in the morning. Also, that’s the day of the AFC/NFC Conference Championships, so if the Bears actually win a playoff game, no one’s showing up here.
