Jack unmasked, UG sort of unmasked

IWRG (SUN) 11/01 Arena Naucalpan [proyeccion luchistica, Al Filo del Ring, Estrella del Ring, DJ Spectro]
1) Carta Brava Jr. & Hijo del Signo b Mascara Magnifica & Star Boy
2) Flor Metalica & Josseline b La Diabólica & Lady Metal
3) Bushi, Eragon, Exodia b Capitán Muerte, Gringo Loco, Oficial AK47
4) Dr. Cerebro & Suicida b Oficial Fierro & Trauma II [loser advance]
5) Jack L Oficial 911, Tóxico, Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Tinieblas Jr., Trauma I, Olímpico, Xibalba, Fantasma de la Ópera, Bobby Lee Jr. [cage, mask]

Order of escape, after a 10 minute waiting period, was Toxico, Xibalba, Fantasma de la Opera, Trauma I, Bobby Lee Jr., Olimpico, Tinieblas Jr., and Mascara Ano 2000 Jr was eight out.

911 was the last escapee, defeating Jack. Jack was revealed to be Enrique Chavez Lopes, from DF, 18 years a wrestler. As noted by many, he’d been previously wrestling as Bacteria. He lost that match in 2006, and wrestled under that name until end of March ’08. Jack started in late April ’08.

Since this is Jack’s second mask loss in three years, he’s an interesting test case of true intentions. The DF commission had said wrestlers must wait much longer than 2 years to remask – and can’t use the same mask – when it came to Silver King. I don’t want to see anything happen to Jack, but if the commission was truly going after Silver King because of rules violations, and not because of vendettas towards AAA and people who work there, then they’d have to do something publicly to Jack here. I heavily doubt they will, so much so that it probably was worthless to write this paragraph. You already knew what the deal was here.

As expected, Cerebro & Mike Segura lost the tag match, so they’ll have a hair match next week. They fell apart as a team, causing the loss. After the match, Freelance – who we haven’t seen in a month since the rib injury – tried to get himself added to the match for next week. Wasn’t clear if he was successful.

After suffering the pinfall, Gringo Loco demanded a singles match with Bushi. Bushi agreed, so next week’s card needs some shuffling. Flor Metalica & La Diabolica’s singles match will be super libre. Diabolica’s mask looks impressive, expressive.

I don’t know what the attendance number is here, but the crowd looks much larger than usual. And this show was taped for Teleforumla, though finding listings for the channel are impossible. Their website has programming guides for their five different radio stations, but none for TV.

CMLL (SUN) 11/01 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring, nohayfianza @ box y lucha]
1) Johnny Dinamo b Halcon Suri
2) Exterminador & In Memoria b Meteoro & Relampago
3) Egipcio & Samurai b Gallo & Rafaga [Relevos Increíbles]
4) Misterioso II & Virus b Neutrón & Rouge
5) Atlantis, Dragon Rojo Jr., Negro Casas b La Sombra, Máscara Dorada, Stuka Jr.
6) Último Guerrero DQ Místico

Mistico had Ultimo Guerrero spinning in La Mistico, but Ultimo tossed his mask and the ref thought Mistico did it. Mistico wants a super libre rematch. Fuego en el Ring has a photo of half of Ultimo Guerrero’s face unmasked as their main photo. That’s not totally uncommon when a rudo tosses his own mask, as a sort of revenge for that finish. It is weird given the Fuego results are essentially the ones getting posted on CMLL nowadays, and they made sure to make it the big photo everyone would see.

Dragon pinned Dorada to set up that title match next week. Guys in the third match ripped each other’s masks and made challenges for next week. It sounds like Egiptico is the safe bet.

Misterioso’s team not only won in two straight falls, but Fuego says he humiliated Rouge. Rouge injured his leg during the match, got put on a stretcher, and got put on the floor when Mistieroso and Virus overturned the stretcher and attacked the leg some more.

Diraio del Sur is very down on the CMLL Saturday night’s show in Tapachula, Chipas. They say the wrestlers were clowning, talking, and brawling in the crowd too much, and were unhappy Misitco and others didn’t stay around for autographs after their match. There’s a note at the end that they didn’t do interviews with the paper, which probably has a least little bit to do with the negative review.

Cronicas y Leyends looks back at the Porky heavyweight reign the world forgot, or at the least the world doing title histories. Check out the picture – I haven’t seen a crowd that small at Arena Mexico since, uh, last Tuesday. (Actually, no, this Porky match is worse.) CMLL went from that size crowd for a title match, to doing strong business with Santo & Negro a couple years later, and it’s probably why they’re not acting overly concerned at the moment.

Box Y Lucha #2946 has Wagner vs Mesias – with conditions. This is probably what AAA’s site has been teasing all weekend. Inside, Mistico says he’d like to win Liger’s mask. So would I. I want to know more about Alebrije & Cuije in Jamaica.

DJ Spectro looks back at Solar I & Halcon 78 vs Los Comandos from 1980.

Ohtani’s Jacket teases you with El Dandy vs Pirata Morgan, hair vs hair.

Well, that’ll be remarkably bad. I thought they promised me X-Pac wasn’t back until December?
