CMLL (TUE) 08/26 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Thunder Boy b Milenio
2) Metatron b Güero Loco
3) Pequeño Damian 666 b Bam Bam
4) Atenea & Lady Apache DQ Amapola & Hiroka
5) Damián 666 b Leon Blanco
6) Terrible & Texano Jr. b Rayman & Sagrado [OCCIDENTE TAG]
7) Atlantis & Último Guerrero b Marco Corelone & Sombra
Sombra replaced Mistico, and the rudos snuck in fouls for the win. Perros won clean, tripping up Sagrado on a springboard attempt to get to the finish. Mini Damian not only beat Bam Bam with a Black Hammer, but snuck in the fifth match to foul Leon Blanco and help the larger version win. Amapola got DQed for excessive violence on Lady Apache, which surely hurt their teamwork on Friday.
indy (FRI) 08/29 Auditorio de Tijuana [superluchas]
3) Blue Demon Jr. & El Hijo Del Santo b LA Park & Super Parka
Parkas were out of control in this match, getting DQ for ripping up the tecnicso masks and excessive violence, to the point where the comission warned them they’d stop the match if they didn’t settle down. (Park said something along the lines of not coming to Tijuana to play with dolls.) Tecnicos took in straight falls when Super Parka attacked the ref, allowing Santo to sneak in a foul and take the win. There’s tease of a Santo/Super Parka hair/mask match. Santo took Parka’s mask, back in 2003.
CANCION (SUN) 08/31 Centro de Espectaculos La Cancion de Tutltitlan [superluchas]
1) Anticristo, Excalibur, Toxico b Cerebro Negro, Fantasma de la Ópera, Men
2) Hermano Black Shadow I & Hermano Black Shadow II b Guerrero Siam & Tailandes
3) Super Calo L Intocable and El Fantasma and el Hijo Del Anibal and Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. and Solar I and Dr. Wagner Jr. and Zumbido and Lizmark Jr. and Toscano [cage, hair]
As everyone suspected, Super Calo lost his hair. Intocable winning it is no shocker either. They ran an angle where Zumbido hit both guys with a chair being the second to last guy out, so I guess there’s a feud here somewhere.
Sololuchas has full results of the AULL show.
CMLL (FRI) 09/05 Arena Mexico
1) Angel de Oro, Flash, Stuka Jr. vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Dr. X, Skandalo
2) Máximo, Metalik, Valiente vs Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca, Virus
3) La Máscara, Mictlán, Sagrado vs Damián 666, Dragon Rojo Jr., Mr. Águila
4) Blue Panther, La Sombra, Marco Corelone vs Atlantis, Lizmark Jr., Último Guerrero
5) Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Volador Jr. vs Heavy Metal, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas
don’t they need to announce Wagner/Niebla for the masks ASAP if they’re going to do it? They keep hinting in that direction.
Even more Mictlan/Dragon Rojo. Even more UG/Blue Panther. Panther/UG would obviously mean more in a mask match, but I don’t think UG/V5/Panther would mean significantly more since no one’s going to believe Ultimo Guerero is losing his mask to one of those two.
CMLL (SUN) 09/07 Arena Coliseo
1) Astro Boy & Sombra de Plata vs Cholo & Soberano
2) Fabián el Gitano, Máscara Púrpura, Tony Rivera vs Halcon Negro, Loco Max, Nitro
3) Amapola vs Lady Apache [CMLL WOMEN]
4) Grey Shadow, La Máscara, Sagrado vs Dragon Rojo Jr., Rey Bucanero, Sangre Azteca
5) Blue Panther, La Sombra, Volador Jr. vs Atlantis, Black Warrior, Último Guerrero
Lot ‘o Guerreros.
For some reason, I thought Lady Apache already won this title. That certainly makes the finish on Friday make more sense to me. The question now is, is Apache getting the hair and the belt or was this a 50/50 split?
Maybe someone thought “you know what, we really need another guy for this Tuareg group to really put them over the top (in the segundas). Anyone have Halcon Negro’s number?” Let’s go with that.
Of course, this real news is Cholo appearing. I don’t like his shot at getting his first win. Soberano appears to have shortening his name.
Juvi was interviews on the uh, an audio show who’s name isn’t specifically mentioned on the F4 recap nor is a link given, oops and says he’d like to get in CMLL. I’d like to be President. (No, I wouldn’t.)
They’re writing as many stories in Spain after the CMLL Spain tour as they were during it.
Odd convergence: an Incredibly Strange Wrestling memoir on a Wired.com blog. Everything with ISW is an odd convergence.
Luchaworld has Robert on ’05 IWRG, ACM and AAA TV
3 hours of AAA TV is like watching a weekly house show… it’s so fantastic. I can’t even begin to imagine how amazing CMLL would be with a weekly 3 hour time slot covering a match from Arena Coliseo and the entire Arena Mexico show.
Things change!
The Juvi interview is from Monday Night Mayhem. He said he hadn’t actually talked to anyone from CMLL and didn’t sound very optimistic. Believe it or not he came off humble through most of the interview, but that recap makes it seem otherwise.
I doubt Juventud even in 1996 when he was one of the greatest wrestlers in the world could ever be good enough to work being humble…
I knew some of my old comments would bite me in the ass but I stick to the above! Look at this Friday’s lineup. That would make for an awesome TV show. Toss in Sunday’s segunda and we’re in business!

At least we know the hat is found, they just took away every mid to low card guy and used it…
Holy fucking shitty lineup.
X-Pac can deliver his usual great debut match and then go back to the drugs and mail in all his following performances. His story never changes.
If Skandalo got booked we’d have all the kids of the influential people getting spots on the show.
No variety at all in the undercard stuff. Three generic matches going nowhere. Why aren’t the National Trios champs teaming? Fucking idiotic.
At least Bucanero gets a high spot, even if it’s only b/c he happens to have a title (and maybe they’ll take it from him before the 19th…).
THUMBS… DOWN. Anyone agree?
I guess Keith might like this because it gives the chance to see all the stars at once, but frequent goers… D’oh!
I predict the masks match to be the most anticlimatic match ever with no heat after fans got worn out after cheering Wagner to death, booing X-Pac for being X-Pac and booing the evil foreigners. Negro will find a way to put the masks match in the semis at the last minute so that he ends main eventing “the biggest show in the last 20 years”
Bringing in a foreigner to do a singles match on a huge show in his first appearence in the promotion is so anti-CMLL. It boggles the mind. They reaaaaaaaaaally want to be more like AAA which the ByL fans will clearly ignore.
I’m convinced the semi-main will somehow end up with all the Americans and Negro’s partners beating him to death so he can be the top tecnico post-anniversario.
