07/29: Accion, Naucalpan, FSE

Accion

CMLL: Mistico vs Wagner, of course. Even in clips, there’s lots of shots of the soap opera costars. Mostly Wagner highlights, with Mistico getting in his stage dive. They skip the setup to the Ultimo run-in and the Mistico pin. Heroic job by Baby Richard for not noticing Ultimo climbing the ropes as he came back in to count the pin.

AAA: TripleMania main event, though it’s listed as Kenzo/Mesias vs Ciberentico/Chessman. We do get to see Charly and X-Pac, so who knows what that’s about. Chessman’s suicide attempt gets the skeletal replay, and it’s listed as 6m (19.6 feet) dive. The table not breaking sure didn’t help anything. Mesias’s accidental fire spot is well done, as those things go, and I was all set to mock it.

I missed DeporTV America today, but the video should be up tomorrow.

IWRG (THU) 07/26 Arena Naucalpan [superluchas, IWRG]
1) Halcon Salvaje b Shuriken
2) Yamato b Cerebro Negro, Nitro, Alex Koslov, Hijo de Mascara Ano 2000, Black Terry, Villano III, Pierroth, Pierroth JR., Electroshock, Loco Max, Kai, AK47, Hijo del Solitario, HIjo de Anibal, Hijo del Diablo, Captian Muerte, Fantasma de la Opera, Kid Tiger, Trueno, Marco Rivera, Freelance, Fierro, 911, Cyborg, Xibalba, Sasaki, Ave Fenix, Star Boy, Misterio Verde [Rey del Ring]

That’s in reverse order of elimination (Yamato is the winner, Cerebro Negro was second to last, etc.) Match went 1h40m and airs on a special IWRG/TVC broadcast, August 13th.

(box y lucha foro) On Tercera Caida, Konnan said he plans to be back in two months. He floated bringing in ROH guys to AAA. I expect US indy guys to show up in AAA in the next couple months, and almost would be disappointed if they don’t. At the same time, I don’t expect them to be specifically ROH guys – since they won’t have much name recognition in Mexico, you find better bargains in cost and availability elsewhere, and ROH has been down on lucha forever – like about since Konnan’s match there, right? Not that I’m trying to make a connection, that’s just the last time I can think of it happening, maybe there was some Super Crazy stuff after.

THAT was a pointless digression.

CMLL on FSE #48 had

The recap doesn’t exactly list results, but you can put it together based on the pictures.

Legion won the main event cage match with some outside help from X-Pac. Chessman took a big move off a ladder thru a table. Hell Brothers had a valet, but I’m kinda expecting it to be a one time deal.

No Ron Killings in the semimain. I’m not sure that Head Hunter I and Scoria were both supposed to be in the match replacing him, but it effectively worked out that way. Extreme Tiger ran into help his side, and it was very much your usual Mexican Powers match. Shryu Dragon is another indy hardcore wrestler – he fits the Sabu tease without actually costing Sabu money. It looks like Crazy Boy got hurt by the end of this match, and Joe Lider really should be as well. After multiple tables being broken and Extreme Tiger coming off a balcony with a dive, the finish was X-Pac trying to Tombstone Juvy, and Extreme Tiger knocking Juvy on top with a dropkick. Makes you wonder what the point of everything else was.

Super Calo appears to still be wrestling under that name, but as a member of the Guapos. This match was the usual between these sides, and I think Calo picked up the win with a guillotine legdrop (and some help from Alan.) Zorro’s been eating a lot of pins for a guy who seemed to be their new top star.

Tons of dives in the Alas de Oro tournament; that should be interesting to see. Extreme Tiger beat Super Fly to take it.

Oriental won the opener by giving Alfa a German suplex, a reverse of the TripleMania finish and an indication that this will be ongoing. Figure a title match at one of the next two tapings.
