CMLL (FRI) 02/23 Arena Mexico [ova, superluchas, notimex]
1) Shockercito & Tzuki b Fire & Pierrothito
2) Amapola, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda b Dark Angel, India Sioux, Lady Apache
3) Averno, Mephisto, Sangre Azteca b Blue Panther, La Mascara, Maximo
4) Alex Koslov, Marco Corleone, Rey Bucanero DQ Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Universo 2000
5) Hector Garza, Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mr. Aguila b Lizmark Jr., Mistico, Volador Jr.
Misitico dove off the stage to start the main event, but Ocampo’s ecap makes it sound like he was pretty much on his own for the first two falls. Being Mistico, he won the second one. His partners got pinned in the third, not Mistico, and Mistico challenged Perro to a stips match, but they always do that.
Alex wore a sombero when he did his hat dance kicks. Marco tried to end Universo with a Tombstone once again, but the refs broke it up again, and Universo fouled him again. Ocampo suggests Marco could take over as lead tecnico should Mistico go to WWE; I like Marco too, but that seems a bit hopeful.
Amapola beat Lady Apache, so we’re heading back in that direction again – but women aren’t on any of the DF cards next week.
IWRG (THU) 02/22 Arena Naucalpan
1) Black Stone b Aguila Oriental
2) Yamato & Kai b Trauma I & Trauma II
3) Avisman, Camorra, Supremo Jr. b Bacteria, Freelnace, Kid Tiger
4) Dr. Cerebro, Heavy Metal, Trauma I DQ Kaz Hayashi, Nosawa, Pierroth
5) Suicida L Cerebro Negro, Electroshock, Villano III, El Dandy, Hijo del Diablo, Fantasma de la Opera, Bestia Salvaje [hair]
The lineup Ovaciones had on Thursday was completely wrong for the undercard – it was as IWRG initially had listed, with some subs. Black Pentagon didn’t lose his title in the main event because Black Pentagon wasn’t there – Cerebro Negro filled in for him, and took his ally Suicida’s hair. Kai and Yamato are trainees from whichever promotion Hayashi’s coming from.
Next week’s posted lineups:
CMLL (MON) 02/26 Arena Puebla
1) SWAT, the Tigre, Zigma vs Fuerza Chicana, Murcielago, Siki Ozama
2) Asturiano, Blue Center, Ultimo Dragoncito vs Mini Damian, Mini Halloween, Mini Mr. Aguila
3) Maximo, Metro II, Sagrado vs Emilio Charles Jr., Ohara, Okumura
4) Alex Koslov, Ultimo Dragon, Volador Jr. vs Efesto, Mephisto, Terrible
5) Averno vs Mistico [CMLL MIDDLE]
They did the main event in Queretaro last week, and Averno actually wins these matches. It’s all very odd.
CMLL (FRI) 03/02 Arena Mexico
1) Danger & Trueno vs Hooligan & Ramstein
2) Leono, Metro II, Virus vs Loco Max, Nitro, Okumura
3) Felino, Sagrado, Ultimo Dragon vs Eclipse, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca
4) Heavy Metal, La Mascara, Mistico vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
5) Alex Koslov, Marco Corleone, Rey Bucanero vs Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Universo 2000
They’re going to tease Mistico/Averno this week.
CMLL (TUE) 02/27 Arena Coliseo
1) Bracito de Oro & Mini Olimpico vs Mini Violencia & Pierrothito
2) Moltov, Sensei, Sombra de Plata vs Polvora, Vaquero, Zayco
3) Brillante, Stuka Jr., Valiente vs Apocalipsis, Arkangel, Dr. X
4) Mictlan, Sagrado, Texano Jr. vs Ephesto, Misterioso II, Okumura
5) Dos Caras Jr., Heavy Metal, Lizmark Jr. vs Atlantis, Black Warrior, Pierroth
Who’s Brillante? There’s an Arena Xalapa undercarder by that name, so he’s probably a Skayde trainee. Sounds good to me.
CMLL (SUN) 03/04 Arena Coliseo
1) Mini Olimpico & Shockercito vs Fire & Sombrita
2) Fabian el Gitano, Starman, Tony Rivera vs Apocalipsis, Hooligan, Ramstein
3) Leono, Tigre Blanco, TIgre Metalico vs Hijo de Pierroth, Mogur, Mr. Mexico
4) Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr., Marco Corleone vs Olimpico, Pierroth, Universo 2000
5) Mistico, Shocker, Volador Jr. vs Averno, Black Warrior, Mephisto
That’s quite the semimain.
GdR has
unmasked: Kempo Kid
02/18 Coliseo: Arkangel, Mogur, Nitro vs Leono, Texano Jr., Virus
02/08 Mexico: Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto b Blue Panther, Lizmark Jr., Satanico
Well, that’s strange, but good (I think). They didn’t repeat that segunda here – will/did they repeat it on FSE? They also have new wacky fall graphics, which are amusing at least the first time.
