08/01-02 Lucha Times

box. LATV’s twitter said no more CMLL 1-hour hour. Ras de Lona will continue.

AAA-US: Charly/Wagner/Jack vs Chessman/Silver/Teddy. Last 2h30m show for the time being.

52MX: Women’s Trios, and Poder Mexica. I think CMLL’s doing a Princesa Blanca/Lluvia title feud, but I’m scared of contemplating such things.

CMLL: As noted in the comments, only a half hour show. Guessing they’re show the Mistico match and not the cage match.

AAA-MEX: battle royal for THE title shot (for a while, anyway.) Not sure what they’re cutting here, if anything, because everyone but the Clowns builds something up for Verano de Escandalo, and they’re probably not cutting out Wagner and Marco.

FSE: Segunda from Friday, main event from Sunday – Pesta Negra vs Sombra/Mistico/Toscano

C3: Amapola/Marcela and other lesser matches. (Good ones, though. Show of the week for sure.)

Puebla: Not sure what they’re dropping here, because it’s a solid lineup. Obviously, title match in the main event.

Puebla (UG retains, Garza hurt), Mexico (Amapola retains)

CMLL (MON) 07/27 Arena Puebla [Estrellas del Ring, Ovaciones, [Betabelmx @ box y lucha]
1) Fuerza Chicana, Policeman, Toro Bill Jr. b Black Tiger, Blue Center, Tigre Rojo
2) Asturiano, Mini Fantasy, Ultimo Dragoncito b Mr. Rafaga, Pequeño Warrior, Pierrothito
3) Dr. X, Skandalo, Virus b Pegasso, Rey Cometa, Stuka Jr.
4) Blue Panther, Shocker, Toscano DQ Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas
5) Ultimo Guerrero CO Hector Garza [CMLL HEAVY]

Garza took the first, UG the second, and Garza crashed and burned on a dive in the third. Garza never returned to the ring, and was taken to the back with a leg injury. CMLL hasn’t posted anything about his status for Friday, so I presume he’s going to be ok.

CMLL (TUE) 07/28 Arena Mexico [ESTO, Record]
2) Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Violencia, Pequeño Warrior b Bam Bam, Bracito de Oro, Pequeno Olimpico
3) Metro, Pegasso, Rey Cometa b Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Vangelis
4) Amapola b Marcela [CMLL WOMEN]
5) Dragon Rojo Jr., Hijo del Lizmark, Sangre Azteca b La Mascara, Mascara Dorada, Valiente
6) La Sombra, Shocker, Volador Jr. DQ Felino, Heavy Metal, Mr. Niebla

Metal fouled Shocker in the main event. Amapola retained the title clean. Damian’s side won in straight falls.

Highlight of this Dr. Wagner Jr. interview: calling Cibernetico “a spoiled child who thinks he can come and go when he wants.” Doctor Wagner is an incredible person.

Cesar says upcoming CMLL debuts are Rouge (who has turned up outside of DF) and Delta (who has not, masked), and mentions both are part of lucha libre families. He also wonders who’ll take the dive off the top of the cage Friday. There’s not a typical high flyer in the bunch.

Ovaciones has his an interview with Villano V.

DTU has photos of it’s lucha libre expo show

Box Y Lucha has a video interview with Jaque Mate

CMLL (WED) 07/29 Arena Xalapa [Diario Xalapa]
1) Mascarita Dorada & Shockercito vs Pequeño Damian 666 & Pequeño Warrior
2) Lady Apache, Lluvia, Marcela vs Amapola, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda
3) Blue Panther, Shocker, Volador Jr. vs Atlantis, Naito, Yujiro
4) Mistico vs Negro Casas

Reads like a non-title match.

Super X (SAT) 08/15 Deprotivo el Recreo [DJ Spectro]
1) Dick Angelo, Jago, Negra Sexy vs Cazador, Oculto, Salvaje
2) Veneno vs Ricky Cruz
3) Psicosis & Zumbido vs Mascara Ano 2000 & Negro Navarro
4) El Alebrije & Fuerza Guerrera vs Solar I & Super Astro
5) Super Porky vs Head Hunter I
6) Angelico vs Juventud Guerrera, Black Dragon [COPA XL]

The winners of all the matches meet in a battle royal at the end to be “#1 contender of the GPWC Monster World Champion.” Last we cared, the guy who held that belt was Mesias. Probably not getting that match. Juvi hypes the promotion to el Manana, talking about the first show being in September, among other things.
