03/28: Mexico preview, NL, GDL, Panama

triple moonsault/Litok Vera for CMLL

CMLL (FRI) 03/28 Arena Mexico
1) Mini Olimpicio & Último Dragoncito vs Pequeño Damian 666 & Pequeño Halloween
2) Dark Angel, Goddess, Luna Mágica vs Hiroka, Mima Shimoda, Rosa Negra
3) La Máscara, Máximo, Valiente vs Ephesto, Sangre Azteca, Virus
4) Blue Panther, Heavy Metal, Shocker vs Terrible, Texano Jr., Villano V
5) Dos Caras Jr., LA Park, Místico vs Atlantis, Olímpico, Último Guerrero

Ovaciones focuses more on the semimain than the main event, thanks to the ongoing Villano V/Blue Panther rivalary.

ESTO pushes Shocker trying to return to form (for the upteenth time) and Park & Mistico as unlikely partners. Unless I’m missing a turn someplace, the last time Park went to the rudo side, it was because he got annoyed with Mistico on Kid’s Day. The Notimex story pushes Park/Mistico teamup.

ESTO’s notes column mentions Medussa is out six weeks due to an elbow injury. Elsewhere, Euforia is leading a fight against tuberculosis.

ESTO also reposts AAA’s preview of the Torreon show next week. El Sol de Cuautla put it in their own words, which is a point for them. No one seems to know Teddy Hart is Canadian.

According to Luchas2000 (and reposted by others)
– CMLL’s about to debut yet another Bronco
– Rayo de Jalisco Jr. has been stripped of the WWA World Heavyweight Championship for no showing that four way title match in Tijuana earlier this month (where Nicho filled in and lost instead.) Unless/Until someone else shows up in possession of the belt, I have trouble believing this.

CMLL LLA (SUN) 03/23 Gimnasio Neuvo Leon [Josedjesus @ el Martiente]
1) Coyote & Tequilita b Pedro Navajas & Sombre del Ring
2) Angel Dorado Jr., Galactar, Regio Boy b Black panther, Diabolico, the King
3) Principe de Oro, Principe de Plata, Rey Apostol b Flecha Azul, Koko Viper, Memo Valles
4) Gato Volador, Orientale I, Orientale II b Bengali, Difunto I, Difunto II
5) Valiente b Vaquero Romo [hair]

CMLL (TUE) 03/25 Arena Coliseo Gudalajara [cmll]
1) Thunder Boy b Azazel
2) Evola b Danger (Guadalajara)
3) Guero Loco b Nube Roja
4) Metal Blanco b Vaquero
5) Místico b Blue Panther, La Máscara, El Gallo, Metailk, Lizmark Jr., Texano Jr., Mr. Águila, Sangre Azteca, Nitro, Mr. Trueno, Angel Azteca Jr. [ciber]

I love when Guadalajara reports shows up on CMLL. Not just because it’s nice to know what happens there, but because the writer does stuff like segueing from “The Year Of The Cat” to the main event, where it was nearly the year of the cat. The seeding battle royal left the teams as

A) Gallo, Mr. Thunder, Blue Panther, Sangre Azteca, Mascara, Averno
B) Angel Azteca Jr., Nitro, Metalik, Mr. Aguila, Texano Jr., Mistico

Mistico was not happy to be teaming with so many rudos, but I guess fighting Averno allowed him to get over it.

– Angel Azteca (by Mr. Trueno)
– Mr. Trueno (by Metalik)
– Nitro (by Gallo)
– Metalik (by Averno)
– Averno (by Mistico, in the usual way)
– Gallo (by Texano)
– Mr. Aguila (by La Mascara)
– La Mascara (by Texano
– Texano (by Blue Panther)
– Sangre Azteca (by Mistico)
– Blue Panther (by Mistico)

Metal Blanco had Vaquero beat in the third fall, but Infierno ran in for the DQ. Metal Blanco wants a mask vs hair match, but Vaquero has yet to accept. This vacation looks to end sadly.

CMLL (SAT) 03/29 Gimnasio de la USMA, Panama City, Panama [Dia Daia Online]
1) Amapola vs Princesa Blanca [CMLL WOMEN]
2) Celestial, Negro Casas, Sandokan vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Ken-Swi, Shigeo Okumura

I may be a day off on that date. Critica en Linea previews the show with a brief Amapola bio.

indy (SUN) 03/30 Arena Ray Alcantara [Noticias Oaxaca]
1) Olimpia vs Columbia
2) Furia Azteca & Mini Zombie vs Dios Egipcio & Samael
3) Angel Nazi & Principe Fenix vs Principe Azul & Zombie
4) Subzero & Super Aguila vs Casanova & Muerte Jr.
5) Conde Salazar, Payaso Arlequin, Vuelo Espacial vs Arkamos, Challenger, Flecha India

This is Vuelo Espacial’s fairwell show. He’s moving to DF.

indy (SUN) 03/30 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]
1) Red Flamer vs Rey Demonio Jr., Imperio Romando, Arlequin, Corazon Adictor, Fomer Love, Danger Boy, Misionero [mask, hair, torneo]
2) Pancho Tequila vs Tonia Jackson Jr. [FILL SHEAVY]
3) Huracan Ramirez Jr. & Ultramán Jr. vs Hijo de Espanto II & The King
4) Golden Boy, Humberto Garza Jr., Huracan Ramirez vs Dr. Tormenta, Jaque Mate, Simbolo
5) Hator vs Aventurero

CMLL (MON) 03/31 Arena Puebla [hugo999]
1) Black Terry, Fuerza Chicana, Negro Navarro vs Centella de Oro, Lestat, the Tiger
2) Asturiano, Mascarita Dorada, Shockercito vs Espiritu Maligno, Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Halloween
3) Loco Max, Nitro, Skandalo vs Máximo, Metálico, Stuka Jr.
4) Grey Shadow, La Sombra, Valiente vs Averno, Mephisto, Texano Jr.
5) Místico & Último Guerrero vs Dr. Wagner Jr. & Terrible [ri]

That’s going to end badly for someone.

The San Pedro Sun writes (in English) about a show in Belize. The luchadors were flown in from Chetumal, Mexico instead of any native guys (so far.)

(Periodico Digital) CMLL and indy talent are scheduled for a show on 04/19 at Tlaxcala’s fair.

  1. Teddy Hart isn’t Canadian. We don’t recognize him. On the topic of Canada though – it’s interesting that the CMLL announcers know so much about Canada when tossing out facts while Dark Angel wrestles. I am learning!

    Valiente/Romo was a 4 way involving Tigre Universitario/Rey Hechicero.

    Is there a link between Vuelo Especial moving to CMLL and a new Bronco debuting? Hmmm. Or maybe it’s the other Soberano.

    Vaquero will survive Guadalajara with his hair!!!

  2. If presented with even a shred of proof, I would accept that Teddy Hart is actually from a planet far far away.

  3. Soberano should be working with IWRG, with Angel de Oro and Semental as well. Hijo del Soberano’s supposed to be the better of the brothers, he actually went to CMLL a year or two before Soberano Jr, but he didn’t adapted to how stuff goes over there and returned, obviously, Jr is much bigger and bulkier and I guess turning him rudo was a move in the right direction, the other Soberano is more of a typical tecnico… so he sucks… hehehe.

    Angel de Oro got great reviews from the commentary guys, so maybe he might be one of the new guys for that promo.

  4. Angel De Oro had a great look. I hope IWRG gets back on TV so we can check him out one day.

  5. Lineups are up. Check the tercera on Tuesday and let me know if I’m reading that correctly.

  6. I didn’t want to bring it up for fear of confusing the threads tomorrow but yeah…

    yeah…

    ummm…

    yeah.

    I’m just gonna ignore it and focus on the real great news of the week…

    LEONO booked BELOW – Tony Rivera, Flash and Mictlan. Logic would dictate Rivera moves down and Leono should be in the tercera but he isn’t. Dare I jump the gun and say they’ve finally given up on him?

  7. Oh and I also like how Axxel, who got the big presentation, is booked in the tercera. Even Rocky Romero got an insant main event slot with no special presentation. If you are gonna use Axxel, at least use him at the top of the card to generate interest rather than a throwaway midcard match where he is working with three rudos that will make him look good but it won’t mean anything.

  8. Man, when the minis aren’t around, Tuesday cards as a whole are pretty damn depressing due to the fucked up tecnico midcard. Especially if you go back through Cubs’ archives and look at the type of matches which made up the segundas and terceras 3 or 4 years ago.

    It genuinely feels like there’s not a Tuesday taping goes past without at least 3 from Rivera, Mictlan, Fabian and Leono infesting the card. Astro Boy also gets way more shots than he deserves. Of course, it’s nothing to do with Nepotism though…

    Then you go a bit further up the card and La Mascara and Maximo have an almost-permanent gig.

    Pretty strong Arena Mex lineup though. Even if it does tie in with the PPV repeat, you would imagine we’ll still see the main event some way or other, and the segunda might show up on GdR. Not really bothered if we miss Axxel’s debut because even with 5 decent guys, La Mascara can still drag matches down to the gutter.

  9. They’ll probably save Axxel’s debut match for two weeks from now or at least air clips in a special segment.
