IWRG (SUN) 06/22 Arena Naucalpan [the gladiatores]
1) Eragon & Halcon Salvaje b Anubis & Comando Gama
2) Chico Che & Turbo b Fantasma de La Opera & Thunder Black
3) Bugambilia, Centauro, Miss Gaviota b Arlequin, Trauma I, Trauma II
4) Black Terry b Fuerza Guerrera
5) el Hijo Del Anibal, Multifacetico, Pantera DQ El Dandy, Shu el Guerrero, Veneno
6) Dr. Wagner Jr. b LA Park [UWA HEAVY]
Wagner won clean, with a submission. How unusual for this feud(/promotion.) Ricky Cruzz was Park’s second, and got away with attacking Wagner thru the match despite that being a DQ and all.
Scorpio was Wagner’s second in the main event. It seems he turned tecnico before the semimian, when he showed up to say hi to his old rudo friends, and Veneno had unresolved anger about the Corporacion. Yes, the faction from 2005 that you haven’t thought about much sense, but Veneno apparently blames Scorpio for going to AAA and causing the breakup. Naturally, Scorpio came back to cause a DQ in the third fall.
Fuerza and Terry had a bloody brawl. Black Terry won clean.
Lots of good stuff in Arturo Rivera’s Ovaciones column today
– Guapito has re-re-re-reversed his position, having gone to the AAA offices on Monday to ask for his job back. This would be his fourth switch in eight days. MAKE UP YOUR MIND. I think the only solution is to clone Guapito so he can work both places.
– Arturo doesn’t like the chances of all that jumped to IWRG, beause their TV isn’t very strong and they’ll slip from fans minds. In one of his interviews, Guaptio brought this up as a reason why he changed his mind (and then changed it twice more.) IWRG really needs it’s Azteca show on everywhere, including the capital, if they want to have major league visibility
– It was CMLL who called Sexi Star about her interest in jumping. She said no.
– AAA’s wrestlers find out their schedule by going to the AAA office. And even then, not always – this past week, one of the wrestlers was hanging out in the park, bought a magazine from a vendor, and found out he (and Arturo) were supposed to be working in Colima on Tuesday. This does not surprise me. Artruo wants a better solution.
MEANWHILE: AAA’s taken down the “Zumbido/Decnnis” are hanging around article. I mean, it’s still on the site, but all the links to it are gone.
CMLL.com confirms Atlantis/Shocker for the NWA LH Title has been added to Sunday. ESTO had this a couple days ago. I guess it could be a title change, not like Atlantis has done anything with the belt. This will be Atlantis’ first charted title defense in four months, and his first defense on a CMLL TV taping since February of ’06.
CMLL (SUN) 06/22 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [CMLL]
1) Idolo & Imposter b Egipcio & Fraile de la Muerte
2) Casanova, Metal Blanco, Metatron b Infierno, Mr. Trueno, Rey Trueno
3) Alex Koslov, Leon Blanco, Magnum CO Malefico, Máscara Mágica, Toxico

5) Damián 666, Mr. Águila, Texano Jr. b Axxel, Rayman, Sagrado
6) Héctor Garza & Místico b Averno & Mephisto [CMLL TAG]
Alex and Axxel switched spots from what was advertised. Misterioso yanked Gallo’s mask in the second fall of the match, then fouled him in the third. Warrior yanked Sombra’s mask.
CMLL also posted Sunday Coliseo results and photos, so we can work out the tournament:
3) Nitro & Skandalo b Neutron & Sensei [Arena Coliseo TAG, eightfinal, torneo]
4) Bronco III & Diamante Negro b Loco Max & Vangelis [Arena Coliseo TAG, eightfinal, torneo]

6) Flash & Stuka Jr. b Astro Boy & Molotov [Arena Coliseo TAG, eightfinal, torneo]

8) Flash & Stuka Jr. b Nitro & Skandalo [Arena Coliseo TAG, quarterfinal, torneo]
9) Flash & Stuka Jr. b Bronco III & Diamante Negro [Arena Coliseo TAG, semifinal, torneo]
Something odd must’ve happened in the battle royal to get tecnico/tecnico and rudo/rudo matchups. Looks like Dark Angel hit the ropes on the way thru for a tope to cause her injury.

Heavy Metal did end up attacking Dos in the second fall, leading to a two fall loss for the tecnicos
Notimex looks to write about UG and Rey winning in Orlando on Monday, so naturally they use an old interview with Mistico.To save this from complete uselessness, Mistico reveals he’s going to take of some time for this wrist – in two or three weeks. I’m sure it’ll hold till then.

No Crazy Boy?
Times Online talks to Santo and Silver King about lucha libre london. Santo says 80% of lucha libre is real. How do you get 80%?
Noticias Voz has a bio of local wrestler Caballero de la Muerte Jr.
Maybe AAA wants to save face or something, it seems that Guapito went to AAA to ask for his job back but was fired by AAA since he had showed up in a rival show which is what make Guapito to appear last Sunday, but I don’t know if he would go back again to AAA Monday if he had made things worse by showing up in IWRG for a second time…
If Guapito stays in AAA and they need to change his name… what about “Hamletcito”?
“5) Dos Caras Jr., Heavy Metal, La Máscara b Atlantis, Mr. Niebla, Olímpico
Heavy Metal did end up attacking Dos in the second fall, leading to a two fall loss for the tecnicos”
If that happened, how did the tecnicos win?
@k.D.b: He turned on his team and they got pinned since it was 4-on-2.
On the bright side a two fall main event means the opener should be airing again. SoloLuchas has more complete results up. They seem to be the best source for Tuesday results as they had them up last night already.
Photos are up on cmll.com but you gotta cheat to see them. Tzuki showed! I hope he still shows in Tampico tonight.
Henrik won’t be a happy camper about Neutron’s first round job. I’m more unhappy that the Fabian/Mictlan team got to escape the first round, especially over a regular tag team. Hopefully they took their anger out on Sombra and Trueno last night.
Do you see how jacked Kid Tiger is in the photos? Well he isn’t HUGE but he’s now able to work without a shirt which means his big push is coming soon.
Sexy Star in CMLL would be interesting just for the day when Amapola goes crazy having to carry her, Goddess and Luna Magica through a trios match.
Oh… from the photos it looks like Dark Angel tried to jump OVER the ropes with a somersault and her belly (or boobs? not like she has a belly that sticks out) clipped the top rope leading to… near death. Trying to think when’s the last time a female wrestler in Mexico did a dive over the top rope… it’s certainly been a while if ever.
@Rob:
k.D.b was referring to the mistype. not actually what happened in the main event. in the match result it lists the technicos winning, but in the description it says a two fall loss for the technicos. he was just pointing out the mistype.
OOPS.
I’m not surprised to hear that AAA is not good at letting their wrestlers know about their schedules. When Latin Lover missed the Pena show he did say that nobody told him he was booked. And before Verano de Escandalo Ricky Marvin was advertised to be at a TV taping and when he found out about it he had to let them know he was already booked. That’s bad management.
@Daniel: That’s not just AAA, that’s Mexicans in general. See:
– TNA letting CMLL know a few months in advance they want wrestlers for the World X Cup.
– CMLL calling a press conference to announce the deal weeks in advance.
– Press conference gets delayed a few weeks.
– Press conference takes place.
– Everyone in the wrestling community knows which 4 CMLL guys are going to TNA and when they will be needed.
– CMLL books said wrestlers for shows on days they aren’t supposed to be in Mexico.
– CMLL is shocked to find out they need visas for their workers the day before they’re supposed to fly to the States.
Mexicans have a very laid back business style which leads to these type of mistakes.
CMLL just booked Super Nova on a show the other week even though SOMEONE IN THE OFFICE must have known he just left for 2 months a week or so earlier.
Tuesday’s results should now be fixed.
