Charly, Coliseo, Mexico, Guadalajara, Strong Man pulling a bus

indy (SAT) 12/05 Auditorio Municipal de Tampico [SuperLuchas, DJ Spectro]
1) Karios b Infierno
2) Angel Negro, Bunker, Lumino, Rayo Azteca b Aborto, Arsenal, Halcon de Fuego, La Chacala
3) Dr. Cerebro, Mensajero de la Muerte, Sadico b Centauro, Freelance, Okusono
4) Mr. Aguilita & Pequeño Halloween b La Parkita & Octagoncito
5) Charly Manson b Máscara Año 2000 Jr. [MEX HEAVY]
6) Hijo del Lizmark, Monsther, Pirata Morgan b Angelico, Hijo del Rey Misterio, LA Park

The story goes, when Charly lost to Mesias years back in the title unification tournament for the (then new) AAA World Heavyweight Championship, it could not actually be a Mexican National Heavyweight Championship match, because Mesias is not a Mexican National. Charly had the belt on AAA TV maybe once or twice after that, but now he’s going to start defending it again.

CMLL (SUN) 12/06 Arena Coliseo [CMLL]
1) Ángel Azteca Jr. & Molotov b Artillero & Súper Comando
2) Amapola, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda b Dalis la Caribeña, Lady Apache, Marcela
3) Euforia, Pólvora, Virus b Fabián el Gitano, Flash, Stuka Jr.
4) Metro, Toscano, Valiente b Dragon Rojo Jr., Misterioso II, Shigeo Okumura
5) Mephisto, Terrible, Texano Jr. b La Máscara, Máscara Dorada, Místico

Since you know the changes to this Sunday’s lineup, you probably could’ve guess these finishes. Mephisto pinned Mistico (with some help from Terrible) to set up that title match, while the Cancerberos won in straight falls to set up there. Virus & crew winning in two falls is much more like it.

The segunda appears to be Dalis’ official debut, so no surprise she lost. Angel Azteca Jr. replaced Metalico in the opener.

This is said to be the last Arena Coliseo show of the year – they’ll be running Arena Mexico for the rest of the way.

CMLL (TUE) 12/08 Arena Mexico [ESTO]
2) Arkangel de la Muerte, Nitro, Skándalo DQ Ángel Azteca Jr., Guerrero Maya Jr., Starman
3) Euforia, Pólvora, Virus b Fuego, Pegasso, Rey Cometa
4) Terrible, Texano Jr., Vangelis b Hijo del Fantasma, Sagrado, Valiente
5) Blue Panther, Místico, Shocker b Felino, Misterioso II, Negro Casas

Crowd was heavily behind the rudos in the main event. Didn’t help them.

Semimain is said to be the best match. DQ in semimain was for excessive violence by the rudos. Angel Azteca Jr. – fill in supreme – replaced Tigre Blanco.

CMLL (TUE) 12/08 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
5) La Sombra, Máscara Dorada, Volador Jr. b Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto

Fuego only has the main event result, but pictures of the rest. Volador beat Averno. They’ve done that title match in DF and Puebla, so maybe Guadalajara is next.

CMLL has a long news update with a couple of different stories. One is about CMLL’s injury rehab process, talking to the chief doctor and talking about the injuries Rey Bucanero, Nino de Acero and Rouge have suffered. The article says there’s 15 luchadors/luchadoras currently working thru issues (though that doesn’t mean they’re all out, since Rouge isn’t.) Rey Bucanero is hoping to return from knee ligament reconstruction on 12/19 for the CMLL Arena Monterrey show, but that doesn’t sound guaranteed right now. Nino de Acero is still recovering from breaking his femur back in February in an Arena Puebla match; it’s taking much longer than expected, but things have gone better since they’ve changed the therapy. Rouge’s left shoulder keeps gets dislocated (why he’s frequently getting medically removed from matches), apparently because he never did proper rehab back when the injury first occurred.

Bucanero, Nino and Puebla wrestler Sauron also visited children doing their own rehabd, and talked about their injuries and the process of their own injuries. There’s also the article about Bucanero, Aquaris and others visiting a college classroom that Box Y Lucha ran a few days ago.

STRONG MAN PULLS A BUS. That man is strong. I like how Hector Garza’s just there to look impressed. A fine job, though not as fine as pulling a bus. Next up: a plane!

Informador hypes up Festival de Lucha Libre. Besides those who are coming, they did talk to Santo (didn’t come to a deal) and also tried to get Rey Misterio Jr. for an autograph signing (couldn’t work it out.)

Longtime Monterrey trainer Mr. Lince is hosting a lucha libre photography/workshop/lecture on 12/19. Article talks a lot about his career (and the usual Kids These Dys speech, though he does have some valid points.)

A Santo film festival opened yesterday in Bejing.

Box Y Lucha talks to Fabi Apache (who would like to win a pairs women’s title with Mari, which is going to be tough), Mini Histeria, Mascarita Divina, and Mini Charly Manson (all about the minsi title match.) There’s also an interview with Cocolores, who declares he’s the real Cocolores.

The Gladiatores has interviews from the Perros del Mal show: backstage after the main event, Skayde (who says he’s coming back to DGUSA – Chicago and Arizona are mentioned – and Chikara in 2010), Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. (about his name) and Rossy Moreno & Oriental (about their mixed tag titles)

Cronicas Y Leyendas looks back at Dos Casas Sr. & Canek teaming in AAA amd Giant Silva vs Giant Khali. I still maintain that the trios with those two (and Wagner, Shocker, Inoue and Shibata) was THREE STARS, the best possible match with those two guys involved.

DTU posts the main event from it’s Descontrol show.
