CMLL (SUN) 01/10 Arena Coliseo [Ovaciones (PDF), ESTO]
1) Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II b Cholo & Disturbio
2) Fabián el Gitano, Leono, Tony Rivera b Bronco, Puma King, Tiger Kid
3) Ángel Azteca Jr., Pegasso, Rey Cometa b Arkangel de la Muerte, Hooligan, Skándalo
4) Astro Boy, Hijo del Fantasma, Sagrado b Dragon Rojo Jr., Naito, Sangre Azteca
5) Blue Panther, Místico, Strong Man b Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
Strong Man pinned Mephisto and Mistico pinned Averno, which led to Mistico challenging Mistico for a match next week. I don’t get it, but next week is a Fan Appreciation show at Arena Mexico so it’ll probably happen.
Astro Boy filled in for Maximo. Tercera was all about teasing Azteca/Arkangel again.
CMLL (SUN) 01/10 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [El Occidental, Fuego en el Ring]
1) Guerrero Romano b Flyer
2) El Divino b Katana
3) Acertijo & Exterminador b Magnum & Samurai
4) Gallo & Neutrón b Malefico & Mr. Trueno
5) Dalis la Caribeña, Lluvia, Star Fire b La Comandante, Magnifica, Princesa Sujei
6) Brazo de Plata, La Sombra, Toscano DQ Terrible, Texano, Vangelis
Porky faked a foul from Terrible, then declared he was a better wrestler than Terrible and so they should meet in a hair/mask match. Terrible said no, but they’ll have a singles match next week.
Magnum & Samurai had issues in their match for the second straight week.
IWRG (SUN) 01/10 Arena Naucalpan [Black Terry Jr. (photos), Black Terry Jr.]
1) Ángel de la Noche & Guizmo b Guerrero 2000 & Keshin Black

4) Dr. Cerebro b Bushi [IWRG IC Light]
5) Hijo de Pirata Morgan, Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Pirata Morgan b El Alebrije, el Hijo del Canek, Pantera
Piratas beat Hijo del Canek and took his mask.
Bushi not only lost in two falls, he lost in two falls after taking a martinete (from Dr. Cerebro’s cornerman Hijo del Diablo) and was strechered out of Arena Naucalpan. Enjoy Japan! Dr. Cerebro was appalled Diablo prevented from winning the belt cleanly, so there are issues there.
Show was not taped for TV – looks like Thursday will be – but Black Terry Jr. has video at the link. How does he manage to get video and photos at the same time? The man is talented.
Edit: Perros del Mal says the second part of it’s latest Arena Neza show will air today at 5pm and 11pm on TVC Deportes.
AAA (SAT) 01/09 Zocalo de San Pedro Cholua [SPORTimes]
1) King Vikingo b Dany Casas
2) Metalik Boy & Principe Orion b Black Devil & Black Star
3) Electric & Space Man b Tiburon Blanco & Verdugo
4) Argenis, Atomic Boy, Super Aguila b Gema, Polvo de Esterllas, Yuriko
5) Crazy Boy, El Alebrije, Gato Eveready b El Brazo, Silver King, Último Gladiador
Free show, but a noticeable weak lineup which seemed worth pointing out in light of the recent attendance comments. Article mentions Electroshock was supposed to work the main event but got into an accident on the way to the show and arrived late. Another article quotes Electroshock as having forgotten what time this show was, speeding to make it on time, losing a tire, and colliding into a truck. Electroshock (and his companion) are OK. El Brazo (as AAA rep) and Electroshock said Electroshock would come back to work for free here at some point down the line, maybe Kid’s Day.
Villano III supposes CMLL isn’t using him because they’re afraid he’ll beat all the kids. Villano III says he’s got trips to Puerto Rico, Japan and possibly Canada.
Box Y Lucha #2956 has the new trios champs amidst a dozen stories, including a feature story on the EAW show.
Villano III is still alive?
Perros open with Turbo vs Skayde.
Minis are on next. They really need to either air fewer matches or get more airtime. Where has Halloweencito been? Mr. Aguila?
Is that the same Alebrije on the IWRG and the AAA shows? I cannot remember if he returned to AAA, and they are letting him finish up his other bookings, or if they put somebody new under the mask. Or, is it the same person but he did not return to AAA and is simply working on this spot show?
@New Talking Wall: I could be wrong, but I think it’s a new Alebrije.
@New Talking Wall: It’s two different Alebrijes. Original in IWRG, the ex-Mascara Dorada as Alebrije in AAA.
