AAA Munoz (WED) 07/02 Auditorio Miguel Barragan [El Sol de SL]
4) Joe Lider, Nicho el Millionario, X-Fly b Crazy Boy, Juventud Guerrera, Ultimo Gladiador
5) Alan Stone, Chessman, Cibernetico b Cuervo, Mesias, Ozz
The article neglects to mention who Mesias was teaming with, but I figure I’ve got better than a 50% shot (since Ozz seems to be his regular partner.)
AAA Global (WED) 07/02 Parque Revolucion, Culican [noroeste
1) Estrellita, Mascarita Sagrada 2007, Pimpinela Escarlata b Mari Apache, Mini Abismo Negro, Yuriko
2) Gronda II, La Parka Jr., Super Porky b Head Hunter I, Pirata Morgan, Pirata Morgan Jr.
Recapper noted the main was a lot of show and little fight. That’s a good decision for that tecnico crew.
CMLL (FRI) 07/04 Arena Mexico
1) Angel de Oro & Hijo del Faraon vs Artillero & Súper Comando
2) Shockercito & Tzuki vs Pequeño Damian 666 & Pequeño Violencia
3) Blue Panther, La Sombra, Sagrado vs Rey Bucanero, Sangre Azteca, Último Guerrero
4) Volador Jr. vs Alex Koslov, La Máscara, Stuka Jr., Felino, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Ohara, Averno, Mephisto, Ephesto [Leyenda de Plata, cibernetico, semifinal]
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Héctor Garza, Místico vs Heavy Metal, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas
Ovaciones says Dr. Wagner is looking for revenge. ESTO asks will everyone just turn on Dr. Wagner tonight?.
I haven’t really given much though to the LdP this week, and it doesn’t seem to have generated much of buzz elsewhere. My instinct is you can divide up these participants like this
no chance: Stuka Jr. (happy to be here), Ohara, Ephesto
little chance: Alex (just too many ahead of him), Felino, Mephisto, La Mascara
decent chance: Volador Jr., Averno, Hijo del Perro Aguayo
Volador is not a tippy top guy, but he’s high enough to lose in the final. There’s not even a hint of a direction, nor word if Mistico would face the winner. Just because I assume that’s going to happen, I’m just going to assume they’re on schedule for the annual summer match between Mistico and Perro Jr. and advance him here.
(Reforma via Sick Mistico @ Box Y Lucha) Dos Caras Jr. didn’t get offered enough money to make it worthwhile, so he’s not going to WWE for the moment. The big news here is they had him wrestle his tryout match versus Snitsky. I can not even imagine.
ESTO called up Ultimo Guerrero, and asked him what’s the deal with that mask match in Leon with Dr. Wagner Jr.? UG says he did sign, and Wagner eventually did sign in front of the commissioner for the match, and he thinks it’ll either be in two weeks or the start of August. However, he could not rule out other people being added to the match – that’s out of his hands.
Rumor: Lady Apache back to AAA.
SoloWrestling lists a CMLL Tour of Spain for August, from the 14th to the 22nd. Atlatnis, Dos Caras Jr., Volador Jr., Euforia and Metalik are scheduled. Mistico originally was on the schedule, but is going to the Olympics to commentate on swimming and gymnastics instead. Which is very strange, but they’re running another tour in October that’s supposed to include him. It’s not yet clear how many guys are going in total.
(Reforma via Jazzo) Angel de Oro talks about his debut in Arena Mexico tonight. He’s 19, confirmed as another Ultimo Guerrero invite and training in Satanico’s class.
In a press conference for tonight’s show in Tijuana, Damian 666 was surprised to find out he was scheduled for a cage match. That’s fantastic. There’s nothing on the line in the Shocker/Marco/Scorpio vs Damian/Terrible/Texano match, so he probably feels a bit safer.

AAA (MON) 07/07 Arena Cuatro Caminos Nuevo Laredo [RFC]
1) La Parkita & Mini Hombre Sin Miedo vs Mini Black Mamba & Mini Chessman
2) Black Fenix, Principe Diamante, Street Boy vs ?, Black Mamba, Rio Bravo
3) Escorpion Negro, Tigre Cota, Tito Santana II vs Antifaz del Norte, Histeria, Psicosis
4) Hombre Sin Miedo vs Picudo [hair, mask]
5) Crazy Boy, Juventud Guerrera, Ultimo Gladiador vs Joe Lider, Juventud Guerrera, X-Fly
I may finally have that correct.
Lady and Histeria’s jumps might be bogus… I remember around the time Peña died one guy who said Zumbido had joined perros del mal during the Friday show and it was simply a lie.
I’ve also not seen about Dos Jr’s story being confirmed anywhere else, they make it sound as if he beat Snitsky during Smackdown!
About Angel de Oro… I was thinking maybe the reason Mty sucks so much is that now Laguneros are going directly to CMLL instead of using Mty as a launching pad…
doesn’t Yuriko rock??he is the best excotico ever!YURIKO YURIKO YURIKO *CLAP*CLAP*CLAP*
5) Crazy Boy, Juventud Guerrera, Ultimo Gladiador vs Joe Lider, Juventud Guerrera, X-Fly
Is Juventud really going to take on Juventud?
@ Psychosismask:
i believe it’s supposed to be Nicho on the rudo side.
I’m curious to see what Angel De Oro looks like. There are so many talented young flyers on the roster now it’s getting quite crowded.
As for the LdP which has gone totally under the radar with the huge news this week of Tzuki working as Mini Dragon…
Volador Jr. vs Alex Koslov, La Máscara, Stuka Jr., Felino, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Ohara, Averno, Mephisto, Ephesto [Leyenda de Plata, cibernetico, semifinal]
It resembles the exact same LdP semi-final from last year. Felino, Mephisto, Koslov, Stuka Jr. and Volador Jr. were all involved.
Ohara, Stuka Jr. (unfortunately) and Efesto will all be out early. Since it’s not tecnicos vs rudos it will be interesting to see where Averno/Mephisto/Efesto/Perrito all wind up and if they end up facing each other. If Chui still thinks Averno/Mephisto are getting kicked out of Los Perros, this would be the time to do it, no? I don’t think that’s happening though. What I do think is happening is Negro Casas has a little say in what goes on these days with his position and he LOVES to fuck with Felino and make him look like shit while Negro succeeds so I’m picking Perrito over Felino cleanly to win Block A.
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised at all if Negro wins next week and then he and Perrito battle over who faces Mistico. Then it’s a toss-up as Mistico/Perrito have the mask/hair match in September but Negro is itching to get that singles match with Mistico. Tough call.
I want Tzuki/Shockercito vs Peq Damian/Violencia to make TV.:( It’s too random of a match to be lost forever. When’s the last time the mini’s had a Friday segunda TAG?
SoloLuchas indicates there was a match taped for the CMLL Noticias show to air tomorrow…
Metalik, Astro Boy, Angel Azteca Jr. over Artillero, Super Comando, El Inquisador.
Not sure if this was just for the fans that attended or if they’ll show it on the actual TV show.
@Rob: “I’m curious to see what Angel De Oro looks like. There are so many talented young flyers on the roster now it’s getting quite crowded.”
Who ever said that AdO is a flyer?
“If Chui still thinks Averno/Mephisto are getting kicked out of Los Perros, this would be the time to do it, no?”
No, it would make sense now, we are talking about CMLL, at the time of the infierno en el ring (or whatever it was named) it wouldn’t had make sense, so that was the right time to do it.
I’m going out on a limb and saying he’s a flyer.
BTW, how weird were the Coliseo debut three weeks back of Catedratico and the other three? They haven’t been mentioned since or even been booked. Are they Generacion 85?
Good call, Cubs!
@ Psychosismask:
Of course he is! Juvi will start by dancing with himself then, he will start to kick his own ass, and then end the match with the Juvi driver then 450 himself off the toprope to the mat and then Joe Lider will pin Juvi to tell Juvi he beat Juvi.
Histeria is jumping to where AAA?, EMLL? IWRG?
@k.D.b: The rumor is CMLL. But it’s still just a rumor.
Angel De Oro’s mask (cmll.com) looks a lot like Valiente’s.
AdO’s outfit doesn’t look anything at all to what he used to wear in LL.
