Mexico, Neza, IWRG, Ultimo Guerrero, lineups

CMLL (FRI) 11/20 Arena Mexico [Cesar, SuperLuchas]
1) Guerrero Maya Jr. & Metálico CO Disturbio & Semental
2) Ángel Azteca Jr., Ángel de Oro, Ángel de Plata b Puma King, Skándalo, Tiger Kid
3) Máscara Dorada b Euforia [lightning]
4) Ephesto, Mephisto, Virus b Blue Panther, La Sombra, Volador Jr.
5) Naito, Shigeo Okumura, Yujiro b Terrible, Texano Jr., Vangelis
6) Místico, Shocker, Strong Man b Averno, Felino, Negro Casas

Clean finish in the main event, Mistico pinned Averno. No Limit pinned both Texano & Terrible for the win.

4th match finish set up Ephesto/Mephisto challenging for the tag team titles. CMLL emphasizes this, so they’re likely doing it before the end of the year.

CMLL (FRI) 11/20 Arena Neza [EdR]
1) Carta Brava & Vampiro Metálico b Black Ninja & Super Ninja
2) Bugambilia & Halcon Tarin b El Canalla & Punker
3) Black Thunder, Demonio Negro, Ice Killer b Brazo de Platino, Super Brazo, Turbo
4) Pequeño Violencia & Pequeño Warrior b Eléctrico & Pequeño Olímpico
5) Dark Angel & Lady Apache b Amapola & Princesa Sujei
6) La Máscara, Místico, Volador Jr. b Felino, Negro Casas, Texano Jr.

Mistico got Texano in the main event. Mascarita Dorada is still hurt, and replaced by Electrico. Maybe putting correct lineups for non-main shows is too much to ask for CMLL, but they really should at least mention when someone’s going to be hurt and possibly missing a whole bunch of shows.

IWRG (THU) 11/19 Arena Naucalpan [Estrella del Ring]
1) Mascara Magnifica b Comando Negro
2) Gemelo Fantastico I & Gemelo Fantastico II b Keshin Black & Menfis
3) Bushi & Freelance b Avisman & Hijo del Signo
4) Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro b Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro
5) Angelico, Hijo del Lizmark, Ultramán Jr. DQ Gringo Loco, Máscara Año 2000, Tóxico

DQ for MA2K fouling Lizmark. Both 911 and AK47 were hurt in the semimain. Avisman gave Freelance a martinete behind the ref’s back, but Bushi still beat Avisman to pick up that win.

Remember, a couple weeks ago, how Ultimo Guerrero talked about Guerreros del Atlantida getting a new start once Rey Bucanero returned? This week, he says the group is done, and he’s going his own way. UG says you’ve always got to find something new, so he’s going to make a career on his own. What happened the last couple of days? UG explains some of his matches with Strong Man haven’t been good because Strong Man is brutalizing him (because he’s so strong) and he’s working hurt.

Also, Ultimo Guerrero talks about his school for refeees with R de Rudos. It’ll offically open in January.

Paris-Normadie has an article promoting the CMLL shows, and the wrestlers were honored this past week.

Hijo del Santo was in Costa Rica this weekend, playing on the Latin American Poker Tour.

Hablando de Catch has a photo tour of Arena Mexico.

Cronicas y Leyendas looks back at Mil Mascaras vs Herodes, Hijo del Santo’s 1996 and micro-luchadors.

CMLL (TUE) 11/24 Arena Mexico
1) Molotov & Súper Camaleón vs Camorra & Zayco
2) Estrella Mágica, Lady Apache, Lluvia vs Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sujei, Zeuxis
3) Ángel Azteca Jr., Ángel de Oro, Ángel de Plata vs Euforia, Pólvora, Virus
4) Felino, Ray Mendoza Jr., Shigeo Okumura vs Blue Panther, Brazo de Plata, Máximo
5) Máscara Dorada vs Negro Casas

Not title match. Mixed signs on the Cancerberos – in the tercera, but facing Los Angeles. It’ll be tough to get an exact read until everyone comes back from Europe, and we see if these guys are slotted in comparison to Poder Mexica.

CMLL (FRI) 11/27 Arena Mexico
1) Metálico & Starman vs Durango Kid & Escorpion
2) Flash, Pegasso, Rey Cometa vs Dr. X, Hooligan, Loco Max
3) Dark Angel vs Amapola [lightning]
4) La Sombra, Toscano, Volador Jr. vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
5) Terrible, Texano Jr., Vangelis vs Naito, Shigeo Okumura, Yujiro
6) Atlantis, Mr. Niebla, Último Guerrero vs Héctor Garza, Shocker, Strong Man

No Mistico, but plenty of Ultimo Guerrero/Strong Man. Semimain is a rematch, and fourth match is more to build up that tag team title match. They can’t be doing the top two matches as 4 man tag matches on 12/04, so perhaps the title match is coming the week after?

CMLL still lists Flash as Flash.

CMLL (SUN) 11/29 Arena Coliseo
1) Bengala & Sensei vs Calígula & Méssala
2) Leono, Tigre Blanco, Tony Rivera vs Inquisidor, Puma King, Tiger Kid
3) Euforia, Pólvora, Virus vs Ángel de Oro, Fabián el Gitano, Rouge
4) Naito, Shigeo Okumura, Yujiro vs Máscara Dorada, Metro, Toscano
5) Blue Panther, Místico, Volador Jr. vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto

A show!

indy (SUN) 11/29 Estadio Monclova [MT]
1) Helcon Negro, Rebelde, Tiger Negro vs Ai Kido, Puma de Oro, Rambo

3) Estrella Mágica & Lluvia vs Yezca & Zeuxis
4) Difunto I, Difunto II, Herodes vs Cien Caras, Máscara Año 2000, Universo 2000

Billed as Herodes’ retirement show, facing notable retiree Cien Caras. Oh well.

2009 AAA TV Chart
Projected Air Date (#914)
Mexico: 11/29
US: 12/12

Main event was changed. Between the third and fourth match, Cibernetico came out to the ring to talk, but was attacked by the entire Legion, plus Nicho & Lider. AAA calls it “the worst beating of Cibernetico’s life.” No one helped Cibernetico.

Konnan replaced him in the main event, but his squad lost when Latin got Lider with a casita. Legion tried another group beatdown after the main event, only for Mesias to turn the tables.

Semimain was about referee shenanigans. Hijo de Tirantes helped the Legion team again, but Piero walked out, kicked hi out of the match, and counted the pinfall for Wagner beating Chessman.

Alex appeared to win the tercera with a foul on Rocky, but Piero listened to the crowd and overturned his own finish, calling for the DQ.

Cinthia replaced Estrellita in the women’s match for reasons unknown (except Estrellita appears to never be making it back to TV.) Mari pinned Rain, but Alex ran out to attack the tecnicas post match, and Sexi snipped off a little bit of Fabi’s hair.

Mini Abismo took a bad bump on his head in the minis match and had to be strechered out.

No next taping announced, but there should be at least one before Guerra de Titanes.
