07/07 (2): DF Lineups

As per new standard operating procedure, only Tuesday and Friday ones. Bihari, you may want to be seated for the Arena Mexico lineup. Actually, everyone should, there’s a pretty fun surprise.

CMLL (TUE) 07/10 Arena Coliseo
1) Rayo Tapatio I & Rayo Tapatio II vs Caligula & Vaquero
2) Bam Bam, Bracito de Oro, Celestial vs Mr. Aguilita, Pequeno Damian, Pequeno Halloween
3) Fabian el Gitano, Flash, Tony Rivera vs Arkangel, Hooligan, Nitro
4) La Mascara, Maximo, Volador Jr. vs Satanico, Texano Jr., Virus
5) Heavy Metal, Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero vs Atlantis, Sangre Azteca, Universo 2000

I think that’s as high as Flash has been, but it’s Tuesday. Is Sangre Azteca’s story inspiring because, after all this time, he’s finally up in the main events or is depressing for it to take all this time for him to finally be up in the main events?

CMLL (FRI) 07/13 Arena Mexico
1) Sombra de Plata & Stuka Jr. vs Artillero & Polvora
2) Bam Bam vs Pequeno Olimpico, Bracito de Oro, Fantasy, Electrico, Pequeno Halloween, Pequeno Damian 666, Mr. Aguilita, Fire [ciber]
3) Alex Koslov, La Mascara, Mascara Purpura vs Damian 666, Euforia, Texano Jr.
4) Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Sombra vs Atlantis, Olimpico, Sangre Azteca
5) Mistico & Negro Casas vs Dr. Wagner Jr. & Ultimo Guerrero [CMLL TAG]

Who’s missing? No Ultimo Dragoncito, Tzuki, Pierrothito and Pequeno Violencia – that’s gotta be a tag match at a spot show somewhere. Mini cibernetico’s gotta make air.

No apparent follow up on the Panther vs Perros stuff. News page teases Villano V vs Blue Panther in a mask match. Eh, no.

With Atlantis in the building for the main event tag, perhaps we’ll know how he feels about Ultimo hooking up with his archrival and offering him membership in the Guerreros. I wonder how Bucanero feels about this! (I bet he doesn’t know yet.)

  1. It finally happened, CMLL bookers had a breakdown and now are randomly throwing stuff up!!!

    Guys working higher on the card one night, then at the bottom the next, no sense team ups, feuds popping up and disappearing…

    Interesting since anything can happen, Ultimo/Wagner lose the match so Atlantis run in and they beat up Wagner, or they kick Atlantis from the group already. OTOH, maybe they’ll stick around forever never mentioning their feud again, like happened with Bucanero and Olimpico, sworn enemies who ended being buddies in Guerreros.

    There are also reports of the WWE show, crowd being reported from less than 50% to 60%.

  2. The new direction definitely indicates there was some sort of booking change…

    So not only is it a mini’s Torneo… it’s a mini’s Torneo featuring the ‘B’ crew of mini’s!:o How can you run this thing with Bracito De Oro, Sombrita and Electrico involved instead of Tzuki, Shockercito and Pierrothito???

    That’ll be the extent of my complaining though b/c… MINI’S TORNEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D I’m all for randomness and this is certainly quite random. *IF* it makes TV, and I’m *VERY* afraid it won’t due to it’s position… it’ll be a first-time appearence for Celestial, Electrico and Fire. Mini Fantasy would have been added to the list but he made TV just today!

    The final 4 seems pretty logical already: Bam Bam, Pequeno Olimpico, Pequeno Damian 666 and Pequeno Halloween. I’d be stunned if any of the other guys managed to squeeze their way into the final 4. You gotta go with Bam Bam to take it as he appears back with a new push. They’ll probably put him over whichever mini is not losing the hair match to him on an upcoming Sunday show.

    So we’ve had the Leyenda De Plata Torneo, Reyes Del Aire Torneo, women’s Torneo and now a mini’s Torneo. What’s next? A Torneo with the guys in the opening matches?

    Espiritu, Karisma, Trueno, Astro Boy, Sensei, Rayos Tapatios I y II vs. Caligula, Messala, Zayco, Artillero, Super Comando, Polvora, Vaquero, Ramstein – BOOK IT!

    Rest of the card looks pretty good. If the main event doesn’t turn into a 100% angle, it could have MOTYC written all over it.

    Stuka Jr. goes from his highest spot on the card ever to working with Polvora in the opener?:) I’m very confused as to what they are trying to do with him.

    Hopefully the Japanese guys leave early in the week and we get no extra matches that look awful…

  3. I guess Wagner is the booker now, he’s been complaining a lot, and in an interview talked about being “interested in facing new guys, like Latin Lover or Cibernetico” and then, you have him being the top guy of the promotion. I guess Negro Casas just told him “right, but I’ll be main eventhing and don’t bring Silver King aboard”.

    I think this will certainly draw more than 5000, but I’m not sure if it will be a good match…

    I guess the cage match will be done with minis.

  4. Would be pretty neat if Ultimo won 2 titles in consecutive Arena Mex shows.

    I was hopeful for Valiente/Flash/Virus today but seeing as the added match pushed it down another spot, i think it’s pretty unlikely now.

    Cibernetico should be fun.

  5. I believe so.

    I doubt the Japanese guys are making TV. They were probably just at the show and Ultimo asked if they could wrestle and he has enough power to where it happened.

    I’m thinking top 3 from Arena Mex air and MAYBE the Arena Mex segunda makes a weekend show next week although I hope the Coliseo mini’s match gets priority.

  6. Yeah the Guerreros split is coming. I can see UG/Toscano/Wagner/Azteca being a faction with Atlantis/Olimpico/Eclipse/Hijo del Texano maybe being the other.

  7. Wow, that would be the worst thing ever.

    They just need to say fuck it and have Bucanero turn to team with Guerrero/Wagner and have Atlantis lead his own Guerreros with Sangre Azteca and Olimpico.

  8. That’s what we were saying last year about a split with Bucanero leading one of the teams, but they opted for the worst possible scenario… I bet this year won’t be any different.

  9. I hope they don’t turn Atlantis tecnico since Wagner is back as a rudo. Can you imagine the Atlantis vs Lizmark Jr. matches? Oh boy…

  10. They would need to run skits of Atlantis whining about Ultimo inviting Wagner to join for months before Atlantis turning…

    The problem will be that people will keep booing Atlantis and turning him might make things worse.

  11. If you looked carefully, it appeared as if Astro Boy (new) did the old Astro Boy (old) asai moonsault onto Ramstein’s feet spot which I love to death. Hopefully that makes Momentos next week.:D

  12. Damn… hot crowd last night.

    That third fall had some very fluid stuff. Don’t know what got into Felino to have him working so hard. The only slow points were with Koslov who is pretty much just a parody of himself now.

    Stuka Jr. was AWESOME.

  13. Here’s another reason Sombra won’t get over…

    When Mistico began his rise up top and won the Gran Alternativa, then got main event matches… he was introduced last all the time and the focus was on HIM as the star. Sombra is just being pushed as Mistico’s “sidekick” and he’ll never be able to shake that stigma off.

  14. ~SOMBRA!!! I hope he works with Ultimo Guerrero more, that opening was awesome!

  15. I spoke too soon.

    Strike #4205 against Sombra succeeding: He blew that spot pretty badly to end the fall.

  16. Watching the main event so far, I think I’m gonna love the Wagner vs Mistico feud.

  17. Holy shit… what an awesome match. MOTYC for sure and the Mistico/Wagner feud is off to a FANTASTIC start. How annoying will it be if they get back together next week?

    Please tell me I am not the only one that thought ORO when Sombra did that perfect moonsault dive.

  18. Thing about Wagner is that he was always loved when he was rudo before. He’s at his peak popularity wise as a rudo.

  19. Let’s hope he stays rudo b/c he was tons more fun in that match than his entire tecnico run.

    I wonder if I’m such a mark for mini’s that I’ll end up liking the GdR match more than this main event. I doubt it… this was way too fun.

  20. I think the 3rd fall was too rushed, I guess both Sombra and Euforia blew the ending of the first fall, that’s what you get when BOTH guys have too much adrenaline going through them.

    The fun thing is that the mannerisims and poses didn’t stop, but now no one is complaining.

    Mistico has his hair dyed… I guess we all know what that means… hehehe…

  21. can anyone upload to ME to a man from isreal, which has only the WWE\TNA shit.

    plz?

  22. I would do it but I don’t know how to record streams. I might try it tomorrow (if I can teach myself tonight) since the feed is a bit better than usual and I have a strange feeling the Fuerza Aerea match is gonna be something special tomorrow.

  23. There are programs to record streams or a screen capture program could do it, check the temp folder, maybe there they are!!!

    Am I the only one who found it odd that La Porra de Tepito was chanting “GUE-RRE-RO, GUE-RRE-RO, GUE-RRE-RO” Not even La porra tecnica is supporting Mistico anymore!!

  24. Yeah, I think I have a program that can do it but I’m an idiot when it comes to computers so we’ll see how it works out.

  25. It looks as if Konnan will be the tecnico surprise luchador…

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

  26. If anything I thought they were trying to turn MESIAS there. Scary thought… hope it’s a swerve.

  27. OK… I’m gonna have to find out who Canibal is related to. AAA goes to the trouble of editing out a ton of blown stuff during matches but everything he did on TV he blew and it was left in. So he’s AWFUL and is still getting regular TV gigs. He’s either related to Konnan or it’s Danger without a mask.

  28. Konnan’s supposed to have his kidney transplant next week, so he should still be in the hospital during TripleMania.

  29. Then I guess the Puebla show will have Mesias taking over the whole Legion and ganging up on Konnan to “send him to the Hospital” giving him time to have his transplant.

  30. The Puebla report I just read didn’t say anything about that happening.:/

    Another awesome Alfa skit! “You have a kid, right?”

  31. Holy shit – Aero Star is a fucking nutter!!

    That tope was totally unprotected, his hands were almost by his sides!

    And there’s no way that 2nd dive was a botched top rope asai moonsault, the blind backwards dive to nowhere was totally meant!

  32. I think it’s some kind of voodo magic to keep them going…

    The skit had Mesias out of Legion, which would make him in a bad situation in that match against HB with XPac and Kenzo…

  33. Oh you KNOW Aero Star meant that! I thought he was going to overshoot and land in the crowd for a moment there! The no-hands tope was insane. And that might be the coolest outfit I have ever seen since Rey Jr.’s old spider outfit for his World War III match against Ultimo Dragon.

    How about Laredo Kid? TRIPLE TORNILLO TO *NOWHERE*!!! I think Hijo Del Tirantes thought he was dead. Fuck… I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD!

    Another amazing match with these teams. Plus the Alfa skit before the women’s match was fantastic.

    Next week is going to RULE! *3* matches with Fuerza Aerea guys (technically). Depends if you count Explosivo and Chiva.:P
