CMLL (TUE) 10/27 Arena Mexico [ALAN, ESTO]

5) La Máscara, Místico, Volador Jr. b Atlantis, Heavy Metal, Último Guerrero
No Limit Villanos lost in straight falls, getting DQed in the second for pulling Averno’s match. They appear to be building up Naito vs Mephisto for Mephisto’s (take a guess) NWA World Welterweight Championship.
CMLL (TUE) 10/27 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring
1) El Divino & Meteoro b Relampago Azul & Skaxy

4) Hijo del Fantasma, Sagrado, Toscano b Felino, Negro Casas, Shigeo Okumura
5) Héctor Garza & Shocker DQ Terrible & Texano Jr.
Terrible fouled Garza. Okumura replaced Black Warrior, who has predictably disappeared from the face of the earth since losing to Yujiro. The music group Banda el Recodo were watching the show, and threw masks to the fans to promote their upcoming shows.
Yesterday, AAA posted an article designed primarily to antagonize others. (They’ve clearly been reading this blog too long.) Responding to last Friday’s Perros press conference, the articles claims AAA holds the rights to characters who’ve left; specifically Alebrije, Histeria, and Psicosis in this article. The Histeria and Psicosis info is nothing new, just pointing out that the men with the identities now are not the originals (Super Crazy & Nicho) and so can’t really claim to have created the character. The bit about Alebrije is a bit different, with El Mexicano (said to be part of the programming department) explaining how Pena created the look, but Alebrije wanted absolutely nothing to do with it at first. You could sort of see his point, because he was Mascara Sagrada at the time, and that seems like a safer bet. AAA’s point is Alebrije shouldn’t claim to own something he wanted nothing to do with.
All the like/dislike, mean/not-mean stuff really doesn’t matter. If AAA has a piece of paper proving they own the character, they do. They probably do, but who knows with Antonio Pena.
Did I miss something, or is the last line in this note about AAA wrestlers at a movie premiere the first time they’ve mentioned AAA’s movie won’t be out until next year?
Ras de Lona #69 has Sombra, Stuka, and Dragon Rojo talking about their trip to Monaco. Poor Misterioso. Somehow, Porky doesn’t show up until after the meal. Also, Fantasma mentions he speaks English and French and can understand a little Italian. That’s impressive, but it makes me wonder who was the translator for the Sombra/Dorada/Terrible/Ephesto crew. Neither of the tecnicos would’ve been out of (whatever the equivalent of) high school by the time they started wrestling, so they probably weren’t picking up extra languages on the side. Maybe Terrible?
The Gladiadores has video interviews with Dr. Wagner Jr. and Flor Metalica, plus video from the Perros press conference. There’s also a bio of the Huracan Ramriez (Daniel Garcia).
Mascara Dorada and Sombra, visited children in the hospital.
An article on the Arena Juba show with Santo/Demon says they’ll now be in a bull terrier match. Looks like Latin Lover is off the card.
Paraiso de la Lucha Libre has photos from a toy/clothing drive for children hosted by Crazy Star and attended by many indy luchadors.
Kcidis illustrates Ultimo Guerrero getting run over by Strong Man. Kcidis notes Ultimo Guerrero was eventually able to beat Liger, but he’s not beat Strong Man. To me, that clearly means Strong Man > Jushin Liger.
