GALLI’s running a bonus show on the 02/22 at the Glendale Heights Ramada Inn. There March show still sounds on, and I don’t know if they wanted to try out the venue first or if they just felt like running another show.
GALLI (FRI) 02/22 Ramada Inn, Glendale Heights, IL [Chicago Pro Wrestling]
1) Joey Marx vs Negrotistico
2) Aguila Tapatia Jr. & Galactico vs El Chilango & El Funebre
3) Blade & Centella de Oro vs Resistencia & Venganza
4) Discovery & El Tigre vs Demencia & Guerrillero
5) Charly Manson Jr., Samuary, Slayer vs Coco Negro Chicago, Coco Verde Chicago, Gringo Loco
Doors open at 6:30, bell time is scheduled at 7:30. Tickets are $20 for ringside, $15 for GA, and $10 for kid. If you print off the flyer at the link, you get a kid (under 10) ticket free for one adult ticket.
Main event looks like it could be pretty fun. I think the guys in the opener are the guys who worked last weke’s opener.
On Saturday, FMLL is back in Congress with a, uh, experienced main event.
FMLL (SAT) 02/23 Congress Theater [Chicago Pro Wrestling]
1) Angel de la Muerte & Bazooka vs Impacto & Pepe el Suavecito
2) Silueta Azul vs Tigre Oriental
3) Mascarita Sagrada vs Guerrerito del Futuro [? MINI]
4) Sicodélico Jr. & Slayer vs Aguila del America & Lucifer
5) Mil Mascaras & Rayo de Jalisco Jr. vs Emilio Charles Jr. & Hijo del Cien Caras
Show lists 6 PM, which could be the time the doors open, or the bell time, or just a time that happened to be on the flyer. No ticket price is listed. The same crew works in California on Sunday.
You never quite know which Mascarita Sagrada you’re getting at any day. I kinda hope it’s Dorada, and he’s defending a Mexican National Championship in Mexico, but I don’t know it to be true and I’d actually presume it’s the original.
I’d like to go to the Friday show, but won’t know if I can till a few hours before. The minis singles match should be good, but I think I’m going to be doing non-lucha stuff on Saturday, and a long cold trip gets colder and longer when you’re paying to see Mil Mascaras. I’m sure I’m not going to both.
If YOU are going to either, let me know how the shows go. (Same thing with any other lucha show you might go to.)
