thecubsfan news

AAA (SUN) 10/25 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [EdR]
1) Mini Androide & Mini Rey Sagitario b Mini Hator & Mini Sky
2) Rió Bravo, Tigre Cota, Tito Santana b Angel Dorado, Chucho Mar, Enrique Vera Jr.
3) Caifan Rockero I, Rey Infernal, Simbolo 2000 b Androide, Decnnis, El Brazo
4) Laredo Kid, Pimpinela Escarlata, Súper Fly b Escoria, Espíritu, Ozz
5) Alex Koslov & Teddy Hart b Jack Evans & Rocky Romero
6) Cibernético, El Elegido, La Parka Jr. b Chessman, Kenzo Suzuki, Zorro

Last week, they did a bit where Konnan hid under a Dr. Wagner Jr. mask to attack late in the show. This week, Cibernetico (tecnico here) pinned Chessman due to a fan in a Misterio mask tripping Chessman up. The fan hit the ring, pulled off his mask, and revealed himself to be Konnan Big. Cue Konnan/Konnan Big arguement.

CMLL (MON) 10/26 Arena Puebla [R de Rudo]
1) Asturiano & Centella de Oro b Karisma & Policeman
2) Bracito de Oro, Eléctrico, Shockercito b Pequeño Nitro, Pequeño Universo 2000, Pequeño Violencia
3) Dragon Rojo Jr., Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca DQ Máximo, Metro, Rouge
4) Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto b Blue Panther, Máscara Dorada, Valiente
5) Ray Mendoza Jr., Terrible, Texano Jr. b La Sombra, Strong Man, Volador Jr.

R de Rudo appears to have black text on a black background, surely the rudoest move of all.

The big news is Terrible & Texano will get a chance to unify some tag team titles. The Occidente champs beat the World champs (Sombra/Volador) clean in the third fall to set up a title match next week. Elsewhere, Misterioso faked a foul, Terror Chino bought it and Maximo was DQed.

Preview of tonight’s show – still in Arena Mexico: ESTO, Ovaciones. This is just a show to do a show, though Mistico’s precense in the main event means they’re hoping for a better turnout the last week’s

SuperLuchas asks: will Blue Demon Jr. face El Hijo del Santo in a mask on the Mexican Bicentanial?. No, of course not. Maybe Demon, Santo, and six other guys.

Speaking of mask matches that won’t happen, Cronicas looks back at Fuerza & Octagon in the 90s, as well as looking at Giant Warrior ’91. If Sergio is taking a request, I’d love to see some Cien Caras stuff, preferably outside the match everyone knows. Next year’s WON HOF is a while off, but Cien’s going back on the ballot and might slip right back because his career doesn’t seem well known outside of the Rayo match.

Perros del Mal says they’re heard their TV didn’t air and are getting to the bottom of it.

A couple articles on Oro – notimex & esto – since his mass was yesterday.

The website actually promoting the Queens November lucha libre site is http://www.radiosonfm.com/. Warning, they try to play music (and fail.)

LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update.

Edit: I’ve put the ratings data we’ve gotten recently in one place: http://bit.ly/lucharatings – will try to keep it updated.

  1. Funny in a stupid way that in an article on AAA’s detailing that AAA claiming rights to the gimmicks of Alebrije, Psicosis, & Histeria, that the picture linked of Dorian for the article isn’t an original pic taken by AAA or whatever but the pic from the wiki which was taken from Cassandro’s myspace pics

  2. Tag title match sounds good and explains the weird ByL preliminary lineup. I wonder why CMLL even tries to do that though? Wouldn’t you want to announce a title match early to garner interest?

    Note to PdM: You have to pay to get your show on TV.:D

  4. I took in a random Tuesday night of Lucha with Sexington tonight. The show wasn’t as bad as it looked on paper. The crowd was as bad as you would expect. The bottom section of the arena was probably between 1/3 and 1/2 full. Pretty much noone in the sections above that. This would have been a fun sized crowd at Coliseo, so I hope they move Tuesdays back there soon. We sat front row in the corner behind the tecnicos.

    1) Delta & Trueno vs Apocalipsis & Ramstein-I thik I remember the rudos winning. Pretty good chance I have that wrong. Delta looks like he could be good.
    2) Leono, Metálico, Tony Rivera vs Calígula, Hooligan, Méssala-Tecnicos win. Metalico is better than I expect him to be, and the rudos are always fun to watch.
    3) Dr. X, Skándalo, Vangelis vs Fabián el Gitano, Flash, Rouge-Rudos win. Anytime you get a Nazi teaming with Tuaregs and strippers teaming with superheros, you know you are watching lucha libre. A couple good dives here should make the match watchable on TV.
    4) Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto vs Naito, Ray Mendoza Jr., Yujiro-HdA win in straight falls when Averno’s mask is ripped off in the second fall. Mic work after the match and the fact that next week is fan appreciation week makes me think we get a rematch next week setting up a title match the following week. My best guess is that we are headed to Mephisto defending whichever belt he has against Naito. Naito’s reaction to Mephisto’s chops are priceless.
    5) La Máscara, Místico, Volador Jr. vs Atlantis, Heavy Metal, Último Guerrero-Tecnico’s win. Match felt pretty quick, but they fit in some good stuff. But, overal it was about what you would expect from Mistico, Volador, Guerrero, and Atlantis. Nothing more, nothing less.

  5. @ Alan: I’m sure Ultimo is thanking CMLL for not having Strong Man team with Mistico and Volador Jr.
