12/08: Mexico, Monterrey

CMLL (SUN) 12/07 Arena Mexico [superluchas, Ovaciones, SoloLuchas]
1) Hijo del Faraon & Tony Rivera b Apocalipsis & Holligan
2) Nino de Acero, Pequeno Ninja, Pequeño Olímpico b Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Halloween, Pequeño Warrior
3) Felino, Heavy Metal, Sangre Azteca b Mascara Dorada, Máximo, Valiente
4) Black Warrior, Misterioso II, Ultimo Guerrero b Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Toscano
5) La Sombra b Ephesto [NWA WELTER]
6) Averno & Mephisto DQ Héctor Garza & Místico [CMLL TAG]

In the main, Garza got pinned by a foul and Averno faked Mistico ripping his mask off to draw the DQ. Titles change here on DQ, though they could have the commission intercede.

Sombra won the first fall, Ephesto took the second, and Sombra won the third. CMLL’s news headline lists him as a new champion, but has it correct in the body of the article. Maybe beating Ohara doesn’t really count.

Toscano was hurt in his match.

AAA (SUN) 12/07 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]
1) Invasor b Vendeta
2) Diabolik & Epidemus b Babe Fox & Rey Imagen
3) Aguila Extrema, Relampago Azul, Virtual X b Ejecutor, Mr. Secuestro, Sicario
4) Picudo b Monje Negro Jr. [bull terrier]
5) Killer Clown, Psycho Clown, Zombie Clown b Kenzo Suzuki, La Momia, TDN

Box Y Lucha 2900 hypes the Guadalajara card this Sunday (maybe because this week’s stuff was after publishing date.)

Box Y Lucha has a great story of Povlo de Estrellas career. It’s just going from being beat at home to working as a luchador for no money place after place. The current gimmick is his idea; Antonio Pena wanted him to stick with Coca Rosa until Polvo convinced him otherwise.

The article about the recent CMLL departures (which turns into talk about how great CMLL is doing) talks about a tour of Mexico in 2009. This fits with a comment in the most recent SuperLuchas, which mentions CMLL might run a tour of Arena Mexico like shows around the country next year, similar to what AAA does with TV tapings.

El Nazi passed away from a server heart attack despite no past heart issues. He was very disconnected from the wrestling business, to the point where no one knew he was close to death until it was too late.
