CMLL (TUE) 11/10 Arena Aficion [EdR]
1) Chesster b Krypton
2) Samot b Plaga
3) Exotico & Maldito Jr. NC Gringo Loco (Chicago) & Pandemonium
4) Trauma I & Trauma II b Chico Che & Star Boy
5) Puma King & Tiger Kid b Ángel de Oro & Ángel de Plata
No contest in the third match was due to Chico Che attacking Gringo Loco in revenge for the hair loss, beating him around the arena. Pandemonium got hurt around the same time, so the match just sort of ended.
Trauma II snuck in a foul for a win, while Puma King pulled Angel de Plata’s mask.
Looks like a very sparse crowd.
Preview of tonight’s Arena Mexico: ESTO says Shocker has a match. That’s all they got.
AAA says the Dallas show is 12/03.
Blue Panther was at the premire of a short film about Blue Panther’s life. The students of Instituto Politecnico Nacional put together a 52 minute piece with interviews from fellow wrestlers. I so need to see this.
Box Y Lucha has a lot of boxing articles, and Villano III telling stories from his road trip. Amusing that a promoter announced that would be the last time Villano III would ever be wrestling in that town (even though V3 hadn’t agreed to it); maybe that needs to be a hint.
Cronicas y Leyendas looks back at Brazo de Plata, rookie of the year 1979. I was going to point out the rare picture of a thin Super Porky, but he’s clearly sucking in his gut in the picture. Present day, there’s Porky telling Box Y Lucha how happy he was for the cheers of the CMLL crowd, and a kcidis illustration of Brazo de Plata and a mirror.
Luchas 2000 #495 has the Brazos, and interview with Mantra (who sets himself up as a rival of Octagon; that won’t lead to many wins.)
