05/15: Mistico to return tonight?, La Parka Jr. to return tommorow?, Puebla, Magazines

Ovaciones reports Mistico will wrestle tonight in Palenque de la Feria de Celaya, Guanajuato. This is far ahead of the most optimistic return, which means all that praying paid off for Mistico or he decided “screw it” and is going to be wrestling in pain for quite some time.

The lineup is something like

CMLL (TUE) 05/15 Palenque de la Feria de Celaya
1) ? & Ultimo Dragonicto vs Mini Damian 666 & Mini Halloween
2) Dark Angel & Lady Apache vs Amapola & Princesa Sujei
3) La Mascara, Mistico, Volador Jr. vs Damian, Halloween, Mr. Aguila

CMLL

According to an interview with the promoter in El Sol del Bajio, La Parka Jr. will defintely return for his show tomorrow in Ceyela. I guess no one wants to miss a date in that town?

A post on Box Y Lucha says Pimpinela will be out 2-3 weeks due to injury.

PYVC (SUN) 05/13 Poliforum Zamna de Merida [Yukacoolgráfico @ elmartinete]
1) Buitre Lee & Dr. Siniestro b Panther Boy & Rey Persa
2) Espartano, Lizmark Sr., Proverbio b Blade, Cachorro, Chupacabras
3) Black Soul b Titanick [OLX HARDCORE]
4) Dr. X, Eclipse, Mictlan b Cachorro Jr., Pierroth, Pierroth Jr.
5) Damián 666, Halloween, Universo 2000 b Marco Corelone, Super Parka, Villano III

This was supposed to have a Hijo del Solitario vs Villano III super libre bout, but Solitario hurt (arm? shoulder? something where he needed to use a sling!) and Villano III replaced Shocker, who appears to have gone AWOL. They did offer refunds for those who wanted, but judging from the pictures, they didn’t draw that much to start with.

CMLL (MON) 05/14 Arena Puebla [hugo999 @ box y lucha]
1) King Jaguar & Super Star b La Mafia & Mr. Rafaga
2) Fuerza Chicana, Toro Bill, Toro Bill Jr. DQ Forajido, SWAT, the Tiger
3) Loco Max, Misterioso II, Virus b Centella de Oro, Leono, Tigre Rojo
4) Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila b Ares, Fureza Chicana, Sangre Azteca
5) Averno, Mephisto, Texano Jr. b La Mascara, Rey Bucanero, Volador Jr.
6) Marco Corelone, Negro Casas, Ultimo Dragon b Atlantis, Jushin Liger, Ultimo Guerrero

4th match was an unannounced random bonus match. I think Marco pinned Guerrero, but whatever happened, it sets up a singles match for next week.

Ovaciones says El Hijo del Diablo will replace Lizmark Jr. in Coliseo tonight. Which means Diablo, who hasn’t worked CMLL in as long as I can recall, is lined up to work as a tecnico. Strange. I’m thinking that was a typo.

A blog entry on Milenio complains about the state of lucha libre. Hector Garza is quoted as complaining that wrestlers don’t need to know how to fight and just need a pretty face, a good body and know how to dance. Sure sounds like he’s talking about himself, based on his recent work.

Magazines:
Luchas 2000 #368 is all highlights from their show.
Guerreros del Ring #87 has Mascara Sagrada on the cover
El Halcon Net #90 has interviews with Santo, Texano Jr., and Brillante, and the first part of a story about Gimnasio Ham Lee. Brillante is 17!

Canek chats on Box Y Lucha tomorrow.

IWRG’s site is still down. No Sunday or Tuesday Coliseo results.

Can someone explain the Dr. Morales/Brazos thing?

  2. Today I read another great quote from the WON in ’93 where Paco Alonso was discussing why attendance was down (Arena Mexico drew 600 fans~! two weeks in a row even with stip matches up top):

    “The problem is not television, the issue is that there is too much showmanship in the matches and not enough wrestling. When the show becomes more important than the wrestling itself, that is when attendance will decline.”

  3. You should add: “CMLL has still yet to update their Coliseo results/pictures for the second straight week.” Fucking Rosalio Vera.
