01/27: Mexico, GdR

CMLL (FRI) 01/26 Arena Mexico Results [ova]
1) Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metálico b Calígula, Mesala
2) Dr. X, Misterioso II, Shigeo Okumura b Mascara Purpura, Metro, Virus
3) Atlantis, Eclipse, Sangre Azteca DQ Blue Panther, Sagrado, Último Dragón
4) Lizmark Jr., Mascara Ano 2000, Shocker DQ LA Park, Marco Corelone, Último Guerrero
5) Dos Caras Jr., Místico, Rey Bucanero DQ el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Halloween, Terrible

Three straight DQs. At least they were all different DQs
3) Sangre was DQed for yanking off Ultimo Dragon’s mask and going crazy on him.
4) Marco was DQed for excessive violence on Shocker after already beating him
5) Perro was DQed for a foul on Rey

I think the Sangre one is going somewhere, the Marco one was just to establish him as angry man after losing his hair to Shocker, and the Perros one was a usual Perros one. Ovaciones has a story about a CMLL photographer getting in the way of a Mistico dive by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

There’s a brief article from the Antonio Pena tribute, and Ovaciones also has an interview with Sepulturero, who talks up his (non existent) chances of beating Mistico for his mask tonight.

  1. CMLL has a huge talented roster. The possibility of fun/entertaining matches being put together is endless…

    And then you have this week’s lineups which may as well just read ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

    Aside from Mistico/Volador Jr./La Mascara teaming, there isn’t a single other match I want to see.

    Bah. Fuck CMLL, where are the AAA results from Toluca?

    I managed to buy some extra time so I can at least see if the Hooligan/Caligula/Messala trio makes TV!

  2. So it aired? – AWESOME!! :D

    I don’t even care how good it was, but i know it was great anyway! – Now i will just want to watch The Roman Warriors every single week and each match they’re in which i can’t see will piss me off. A bit like Los Guillereros :)

    Next weeks cards are a bit underwhelming for sure but i’ve saw worse. Arena Mex looks decent enough, it’s the Coliseo sunday TV card that’s a bit of a letdown considering recent weeks, particularly with the segunda and tercera.

    There is far too much Fabian El Gitano, Texano and Loco Max these days. And whilst there should still be a place for Satanico, his spot should be in Tuesday semi matches w/ Brazo De Oro, Emilio Charles, MA2000, Pierroth etc. – not with the guys in next sundays tercera.

    If only the Tuesday and Sunday segundas were the other way around, it would actually be another great week for taped matches (if they continue with the same format). So hopefully the women next week are just a blip and the following week returns to airing Coliseo segunda undercarders – something like Los Tigres/Sombra De Plata V Caligula/Messala/Jeque would do nicely!

    But as Rob says, CMLL bookers could be doing sooooooo much better. What a fun job it would be too, shame they don’t seem to put too much thought into it. You can only imagine some of the stuff i could come up with! :)

    BTW – did we find out what the hell Molotov was hitting Caligula on the floor with?!

  3. It really doesn’t take long to come up with a new match. There is NO EXCUSE to repeat trios matches like they have been doing lately. There’s also no harm in running an odd tag match like say Leono and Virus against Mr. Mexico and Hooligan… just being random here. Make it seem like the trios matches MATTER to set up next week’s matches.
