4) Black Terry, Hijo de Cien Caras, Masada b Esfinge, Negro Navarro, Yamato
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. & Máscara Sagrada b Damián 666 & Halloween

No Perro; he way way overbooked this day. No Rayman either, and much of the undercard was shuffled and changed. Yamato and Masada feuded. The recap was a little surprised that Japanese people would fight each other. Suicida and Fantamsa agreed to a title match.

They’re taking Thursday off for Good Friday (?), so the next show is Sunday.

Shocker filled in for Marco, so he does still know how to get to Arena Puebla. Rudo fans chanted at him to go back to AAA. Loco Max snuck in a foul on Coco Rojo in the tercera, and there were challenges for a hair match.

2) Sky vs Loco Tormenta
3) Potro Jr. vs Ejecutor
4) Konan King vs Super Konnan
5) Casanova vs Golden Boy

In Tabasco, the Acuario promotion is suspending activity, claiming the local commission, the building owners, and the other local promotion are working together to make it impossible for them to run shows without losing a bunch of money. At least they figured this out and stopped running shows.

indy (MON) 04/02 Auditorio Municipal de Tampico [El Sol de Tampico]
1) Corsario Blanco, Impulso, Loco Castillo b Arana Malgina I, Arana Maligna II, Disturbio
2) Caricia, La Chamagol, La Parkita b Calaquita, Lady Warrior, Lalo El Exotico
3) El Bronco, Hijo de Anibal, Huracan Ramirez b Coco Blanco, Coco Rojo, Coco Verde
4) Groon XXX, Hijo del Santo, Rayo de Jalisco Jr. DQ Blue Demon Jr., Hijo de Anibal, Ice Killer

Hijo de Cien Caras, Cien Caras Jr., and Angel Blanco Jr. were MIA from this card. The newspaper report says they were pulled due to the Santo/CMLL fall out. I’m thinking those three aren’t being booked by CMLL, but would like to be.

LUCHAS 2000 (SAT) 05/05 Arena Mexico [Santo Rey]
1) Cerebro Negro vs Danger, Extreme Tiger, Flash, Freelance, Leono, Mascara Purpura, Mictlan, Super Nova, Texano Jr., Valiente, Virus [ciber]
2) Hijo de Rey Misterio & Rey Misterio Sr. vs Stuka I & Stuka Jr. and Misterioso II & Misterioso Sr. and Volador Jr. & Volador Sr. [torneo]
3) Hijo de Mascara 2000 & Mascara 2000 vs Hijo de Lizmark & Lizmark Sr. and Cien Caras & Hijo de Cien Caras and Rayman & Rayo de Jalisco [torneo]
4) Villano III vs ? [hair]

This is the annual Luchas 2000 show, though they’ve been held at Arena Coliseo previously. I’m not completely sure if that’s supposed to be two different tournaments, or one combined one. It’s a father/son thing, though in some cases that’s not true – the Stukas are brothers, one much younger than other. Hijo de Mascara 2000 is a new (fake?) son of Mascara Ano 2000, not the one who’s been in IWRG. Rayman and Rayo teaming together is interesting – you think it’s possible it’s a new Rayman?

Not sure what the deal is with the main event, if someone’s losing their way in to that spot or what.

Is Dragon still running on the 12th? That’d be back to back three show weekends.

  1. Shit, that Luchas2000 show looks pretty neat. Will probably be about the closest i’ll ever get to seeing one of my dream matches – the Voladors V Misteriosos!

    And the awesome sounding Opener….. the new Rey Misterio… Rayman and Rayo teaming… a hair/mask match…. Volador Sr for one night….
    – This could be great!

    Don’t suppose it’s being taped?

    – btw, how out of place are Mictlan and Texsucko Jr gonna look? :D

  2. Aside from Extreme Tiger, that Luchas 2000 show looks AWESOME! Fuck a four way, Volador/Volador Jr. vs Stuka/Stuka Jr. is straight out of my dreams!

    I assume Mictlan and Texano Jr. will look alright just b/c it’ll be family working against each other so they’ve been practicing something like this for years and years.

    Main will probably be Dandy or Satanico… probably Satanico. Either way, two guys with no hair working a match at 20% the speed of everything else on the night. I doubt it’ll be well received unless an older crowd shows up.

    The show may be taped. The last Luchas 2000 show was and so was the year before. Just hard to track them down.

    I will be voting in the awards this weekend since it’s a 3 day weekend.
