08/05: Mistico out 6 weeks, Atlantis in hospital

Box Y Luchas #2830 says Mistico will be out for six weeks. Currently, he’s booked all over the place for next week, so there are going to be some issues. This’ll put Mistico out till the Anniversary show. I wonder if he would’ve taken time off (or been able to take time off) if Perro wasn’t back.

Superluchas reports Atlantis was taken to the hospital tonight, after getting kicked in the head by Dr. Wagner Jr. in their trios match at Arena Coliseo tonight. No update on his status. (Update: Over on ByL, Alexis says it was a Toscano kick.)

Accion’s CMLL clips were of the Arena Mexico main event. Lots of crowd shots of the big turnout. Mistico was limping in all the clips we saw him, but it seemed like a Hector Garza clip caused it. They show the finish – or at least lots of Perros swarming the ring – out of order, to go back and show more Perro/Mistico stuff. Mistico limp seems to get worse, and they stretcher him out at the end.

The AAA clips were of Chessman, Cibernetico, Zorro vs X-Pac, Head Hunter I, and Sabu from Leon. Early highlights of Cibernetico are actually all of people running into his outstreched arm and doing all the work for him on the bumps. Sabu tries to put Zorro thru a table, but the table won’t break. AAA seems to have an issue with that. With Copetes down, we see Mesias foul Ciber and Kenzo put Killings on top. If you notice that Killings wasn’t listed up there, you’re one step ahead.

I saw the Azteca DeporTV clips from Tuesday Coliseo as well, but nothing really noteworthy on them. I got to see as much of Electrico as I did in that cibernetico, that’s for sure.

So, that’s 8. Very odd that they’d do the Chessman vs Zorro matchup. If we’re supposed to treat these as brackets, and there’s no certainty that we are, I guess we’d get next round match ups of Kenzo vs Cibernetico (AAAAH!!!!) and Mesias vs Chessman. You’d think there would be someone decent in the ? spot, but no way Mesias is losing here so I don’t know. This does remind me that Laredo Kid can’t be in this tournament by any definition, because he’ll be in Japan by this point.

ZAP is going to debut as a random second for Ayako, and then randomly fighting her on the next taping? Sounds about right.

Because of the two singles matches, this card seems really light on wrestlers. Don’t you sorta expect another match to get tacked on as an opener? Never mind, missed the opener.

upgrade to MT4.0 (beta)

The upside of the video feed going away is I can do the upgrade over the weekend without interrupting anything. So, I did, and I’m sure I’ve got things to fix. Let me figure out the obvious stuff right now, and then I’ll ask later for anything I missed.

So Far: the tags are broken for sure. That’s first on my list. But comments seem to be working okay, so I don’t think there’s much of an interruption of service.
