IWRG (THU) 08/09 Arena Naucalpan [superluchas]
1) Golem b Samba
2) Halcon Salvaje & Tortugillo Ninja b Pandemoniun & Venganza
3) 911, AK47, Fierro b Freelance, Marco Rivera, Veneno
4) el Hijo Del Anibal, El Hijo del Solitario, Negro Navarro b Capitan Muerte, Cien Caras Jr., Cyborg

CMLL (SUN) 08/12 Arena Coliseo [ovaciones, Dr. Frink @ box y lucha foro]
1) Sensei & Tiger Kid b Méssala & Zayco
2) Leono, Metálico, Stuka Jr. b Apocalipsis, Mr. México, Ramstein
3) Hiroka, Medussa, Princesa Sujei b Dark Angel, Luna Magica, Sahori
4) Felino, Heavy Metal, Máximo b Damián 666, Emilio Charles Jr., Terrible
5) Averno, Lizmark Jr., Mephisto b Dos Caras Jr., Valiente, Volador Jr.

Valiente replaced Dr. Wagner Jr., who was announced as injured after his match with Ultimo on Friday. CMLL.com reports Wagner will be out two weeks with a rib injury. It’s dangerous to be a CMLL main eventer. Ultimo Guerrero better be careful. Valiente replaced him. Rudos won first, tecnicos won second, Dos screwed up and Lizmark beat him in the third. Lizmark wants a title match, which sure would be something.

Amusingly, both Ovaciones and ESTO both talked about this being Tiger Kid’s First Ever CMLL Match. It’s his fifth match in Coliseo this year. Both publications having the same obscure info wrong confirms there’s a secret CMLL mailing list I’m not on. So sad.

CMLL (SUN) 08/19 Arena Coliseo
1) Bracito de Oro, Celestial, Electrico vs Fire, Pequeno Violencia, Sombrita
2) Metalico, Sombra de Plata, Tigre Blanco vs Caligula, Hooligan, Mr. Mexico
3) Leono, Mascara Purpura, Mictlan vs Emilio Charles Jr., Euforia, Nosferatu
4) Alex Koslov, Maximo, Volador Jr. vs Ephesto, Mephisto, Misterioso II
5) Dos Caras Jr., Heavy Metal, Marco Corelone vs Hector Garza, Lizmark Jr., Terrible

So they kept Lizmark from teaming with his old allies for all all of eight days. The Perros can’t even just turn on Lizmark because he’s got to win to set up the title match. Sombra de Plata and Caligula might get on TV.

Neither Tuesday nor Friday’s card has not been updated to deal with the Dr. Wagner injury.
