08/08: Coliseo, injuries

CMLL (TUE) 08/07 Arena Coliseo [CMLL]
1) Shockercito & Tzuki DQ Pequeno Violencia & Pierrothito
2) Arkangel, Loco Max, Nitro b Astro Boy, Molotov, Trueno
3) Nosferatu, Okumura, Skandalo b Mictlan, Stuka Jr., Super Nova
4) Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto b Alex Koslov, Felino, Maximo
5) Dos Caras Jr., Heavy Metal, Volador Jr. b Damian 666, Mr. Aguila, Terrible

Nosferatu got away with a foul on Stuka in the third. Tzuki’s mask was yanked in the opener.

CMLL.com reports Ultimo Dragoncito will be out 10 weeks because of an ankle fracture suffered on Saturday in Queretaro.

Ovaciones says Atlantis will return to the ring on Sunday, for his previously scheduled match in AC Guadalajara. I hope this means his injury was much less severe than it sounded and he’s not rushing back for a meaningless match, but I feel naive even hoping that.

The newspaper also says the AAA Heavyweight Tournament includes eight men, so we’ve got all the first round matches (unless they just mean eight men so far.) After reading AAA’s blog on the tournament, I’m now sure we’re supposed to treat the UWA Light Heavyweight, Mexican National Heavyweight, and IWC Heavyweight (and/or the Campeon de Campeons – that’s what it looked like the first time I saw it) as vacant and possibly defunct.

It doesn’t actually matter how AAA’s treated it’s titles in the past (or how CMLL treats them now), because the guy who made those decisions is gone and the new crew seems to have a different philosophy on these things. They’re rebooting the importance of titles by ditching all the olds one and creating a new one, and deserve the benefit of the doubt they’ll do something with the new belt.

Super Calo and Chris Stone visited Ovaciones’s office, at the same time. That’d be a far more amusing sentence if Chris Stone really had been doing the Super Calo gimmick. Anyway, the Stones hope to do the trios thing soon – perhaps they too can win a version of the Mexico State Trios titles.

indy (SUN) 08/26 Parque Deportivo Beto Avila
1) Apolo, Celestial, Conquistador vs Dr. Crimen, Practicante, Triple XXX
2) Huracan Ramirez & Huracan Ramirez Jr. vs Coco Rojo & Coco Verde
3) Hijo del Santo & Tinieblas vs Bestia Salvaje & Negro Navarro

Notiver’s preview article hypes that show as the first time Hijo del Santo & Tinieblas have ever teamed…in Veracruz. Somehow, I doubt even that.

CMLL IBARRA (SAT) 09/15 Salon Ferrocarillero de Frontera [Zocalo]
1) King Balam & Super Brazo vs Iviz Guajardo & Maniacop
2) LA Park vs Dr. Wagner Jr., Ultimo Guerrero, Blue Panther

    I guess this would be true if the anniversary main event match happens to be a 4 way… as long as they don’t put Universo there and losing his hair again…

  2. Most importantly before I read the news…

    DeporTV put up the new lucha segment but it won’t play for me. Why? WHY? WHY??? It’s just like those old silly CMLL USA videos that won’t play.

    Someone with computer knowledge needs to share.

  3. What type of computer are you using and what type of Internet browser? Could be that you don’t have Active X installed. What’s the webiste?

  4. BTW, not really a huge issue cubs but the comments seem to be on some sort of delay. For example there are currently 4, soon to be 5, comments on this post and even after refreshing over and over for a few hours now, it still only shows 2 comments listed.

  5. Yea, I’ve noticed that too the last couple of days. I’m hoping that I’ve fixed it when I shrunk the index page down a bit, but I’ve got more to do.

  6. I keep comparing the new AAA to Vince Russo’s WCW. If in fact the guys are giving up their belts, then this is exactly what Russo did in WCW. Had the champions give up their belts and start a tournament to make new champions.

    It would be better to have unifying matched then to have guys relinquish their titles.

  7. They can not unify the belts since AAA doesn’t own the UWA nor the Comision de Box y Lucha…
