Maximo’s hair loss to Texano was his farewell: Reforma (via Jazzo) has him leaving CMLL to rejoin the independents. Maximo repeatedly complains CMLL is totally focused on one guy and only that guy, and everyone is unhappy because they don’t get as much, though he doesn’t actually mention this one guy’s name.
He means Mistico, I know. (Maximo also said the same thing on a radio show.) I do wonder at the thought process here – if you annoyed at being a big enough star, you’re going to go to promotions who have little or no TV? That’s what matters in 2009. Maximo seems pretty clear that he’s going independent and not to AAA, but I’m not sure AAA would be looking for his kinda of character right now.
India Sioux hasn’t been on any CMLL card we know of since mid February and nto in Arnea Mexico since December. She could keep working here, but she’s not really working much at all.
CMLL (SUN) 03/29 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [CMLL]
1) Mongol b Milenio
2) Katana & Malefico b Angel del Mal & Infierno [Torneo Tanque Dantes]
3) Palacio Negro & Samurai b Leon Blanco & Thunder Boy [Torneo Tanque Dantes]
4) Boomerang & Gallo b Acertijo & Mr. Trueno [Torneo Tanque Dantes]
5) Black Warrior, Dragon Rojo Jr., Sangre Azteca b Hector Garza, La Sombra, Shocker
6) Averno, Mephisto, Texano Jr. b Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Ultimo Guerrero
Assuming I’ve got it right, and who really knows anymore, these are the standings going into the final round
Team
7: Boomerang/Meteoro & Gallo
6: Palacio Negro & Samurai
4: Katana & Malefico
3: Leon Blanco & Thunder Boy
2: Acertijo & Rey & Mr. Trueno
2: Angel del Mal & Infierno
The leading team faces Katana & Malefico, who still have something to play for if second place matters. I’m still not sure first place matters. Negro/Samurai face one of the trailing teams,, Angel del Mal & Inferino, which one would presume they will win.
LA Rosa (SUN) 03/29 Arena Solidaridad [RFC & josedjesus]
1) Baby Fox, Sky, Turbina b Guerrero Griego, Neon, Titanik
2) Bella Karina, Galactar, Martha Villalobos, Mini Gato Volador b Linda Star, Mini Hator, Mongol Chino Jr., Sexi Psicsis
3) Diluvio Negro I, Estrella Dorada, Gato Volador b Apolo Estrada, Mongol Chino, Monje Negro Jr.
4) Antifaz del Norte, Olimpico, Scorpio b Diluvio Negro II, Intocable, Zumbido
5) Aventurero, El Hijo Del Santo, Tinieblas jr. DQ Fuerza Guerrera, Hator, Super Parka
Hator took Santo’s mask for the DQ and they talked hair vs mask after. Zumbido replaced Juvi, still out. RFC says 5000 fans.
CMLL (TUE) 03/31 Arena Mexico [ESTO, SuperLuchas, Avellaneda @ box y lucha]
1) Artillero, Inquisidor, Super Comando b Molotov, Sombra de Plata, Trueno
2) Angel de Oro, Angel de Plata, Astro Boy Sensei b Arkangel de la Muerte, Hooligan, Vangelis

4) Maximo, Mictlan, Shocker b Felino, Heavy Metal Okumura, Mr. Niebla
5) Atlantis, Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero b La Sombra, Mistico, Volador Jr.
Shockercito took falls 1 and 3 clean. Rudos challenged for a tag title shot after their main event win; sounds like it’ll be Atlantis/Rey as the team next week for Fan Appreciation day. Sunday’s main event appears to be a Marcela vs Rosa Negra mask versus mask match, which should fill Arena Mexico to the brim.
AAA trumpets Alex Koslov in ROH. (CMLL does not mention half the trips people go on.) Looks like the lucha particpation matches are going to be

Bobby Lee is interviewed about his career. He’s currently commissioner in Leon, and complains Santo cheated to beat him. In a unusual occurrence of links working in tandem, DJ Espectro talks to Bobby Lee Jr., suspected to be the original Ice Cream. DJ Espectro also asks for more visitors leave comments; sometimes, I’ve personally found that’s a better idea in theory than it is in practice.
DTU interviews Chris Hero about coming in.
Lucha libre will be on CSI. Don’t care.
Maska Lucha points out some Dos Caras inspired baseball caps. I still need to get an Artillero one.
LuchaWorld has Robert on AAA’s 07 Pena show, and CMLL 10/27 and 11/03.
AAA (MON) 05/04 Centro Banamex
1) Aerostar, Laredo Kid, Super Fly vs Rio Bravo, Tigre Cota, Tito Santana II

3) ? & Vampiro vs Chessman & Extreme Tiger
4) Alex Koslov, Rocky Romero, X-Pac vs Kenzo Suzuki, Silver King, Zorro
5) ?, Charly Manson, Mesias vs Electro Shock, Konnan, Ozz
Looks like status quo is still the way to go. Let’s be honest: I don’t care who the mystery people are.

Fan appreciation show. Big week for Atlantis!
I wonder if Maximo, Super Porky and Brazo de Platino will work as a trio on the indies.
@Alfredo: The only way that doesn’t happen is if El Brazo goes independent first.
They’ve been plugging Kozlov/Danielson and Kozlov/Strong on the past couple ROH Videowires. I really hope he does good there.
Avellaneds Arena Mexico report at ByL has Shigeo Okumura wrestling instead of Heavy Metal which would make sense because of Heavy Metals neck injury. But if that substitution is right, ESTO and Superluchas would have made the same mistake (perhaps Superluchas copied from ESTO without naming them as their source).
Going to be at the April 4 ROH show – I’m super pumped to see Kozlov and Blue Demon Jr., and I hope they don’t let me down.
Not only did Okumura sub for Metal but Astro Boy was supposedly in for Sensei which would thrill Henrik if he were still a part of our community.
Weird thing: Someone who claims to “know” over on ElMartinete says Saturno = Boomerang from GDL. But both worked shows in the 22nd of March. Hmmm.
No big loss in Maximo. He’ll be back by the fall. All these dumbasses seem to think this ‘Requiem’ shit is the new hot thing but it’s already fading and it has no legs. It’s like the ECW Reunion shows. They drew big crowds (big ECW standards) at first and then every show just kept turning into more and more of a joke. The UWA thing is fun to bust out a couple times a year but has no legs as a touring promotion. Not to mention the DQ finishes aren’t going to attract anyone to comeback.
We’ll get a summer of Brazos reunited before the smart ones bail. I could see Porky back in CMLL. I wonder where this leaves Psycho Clown?
India is probably knocked up again. There is no way Maximo should ever be able to keep his hands off her.
OH, Hi5 report from last night also says they seem to be building to Sombra/Volador vs Atlantis/Bucanero for the tag belts for Tuesday’s fan appreciation show. Me likey.
Shockercito/Fire is on youtube already. In full.
from what ive read what the guys on the independents make and a mid card cmll guy make are pretty similar since they cut their money last year
India esta embarazada. y Medusa tambien.
Told you.
@keith133: Right. But CMLL gives out much more work in a smaller geographical area. Working four shows a week for $300 a shot is better than working two a week for $300.
cmll.com confirms that Okumura wrestled instead of Heavy Metal, but it says that Sensei worked the Segunda, not Astro Boy.
