Latin Lover & Hector Garza, Perros/AAA, Mistico not interested in Invaders

Gigante Bernard continues to be not just undefeated, but perfect. He won last week in straight falls, and won this week in straight falls. The match was built around teasing Bernard/Strong Man. When they finally were left alone in the second, Bernard won clean.

The big angle of the night took place over the 45th and 5th matches. The judges for a world dancing reality show were presented in the ring as a special guests, and one of those judges just happened to be former dancing reality show winner Latin Lover. Latin Lover stuck around to watch from the first row. Poder Mexica made a point of taunting before their match, but that seemed that. After the semimain, Hector Garza extended a handshake to his old friend Latin. Latin accepted it – and Garza attacked. The two brawled on the arena floor, Terrible & Texano aiding Garza until security broke it up. Garza, supposed leader of the Invasors, declared this as his house and warned Latin that he wasn’t going to let him do anything in it. Backstage, Latin talked about coming back to Arena Mexico for a match to settle this.

There’s video of the fight on YouTube. Latin was clearly meant to be a tecnico. Both the tecnico and the rudo fans rejected him, booing him, though some women’s fans were behind him. He doesn’t appear to be part of the Invaders, which is where we thought this was heading when word of his appearance leaked out Friday night. They’ve steadfastly ignored that angle on this show, including Garza himself with those comments.

On Twitter, Dorian Roldan called Latin’s appearance as CMLL “becoming a branch of AAA”. While he made his fame in AAA, Latin was first a very popular wrestler in Monterrey, and then wrestled in CMLL for a few months before joining Pena’s promotion.

Back in the fourth match, tecnicos won when Dragon Rojo fouled Dorada. Rudos made title challenges, tecnicos made mask challenges.

Virus beat Valiente, then asked for a title shot. He’ll get it next week.

Mini Warrior pulled Dorada’s mask and covered him for the win.

Mask Mania says Sin Salida airs on Samurai TV on July 7th, which also means no Infierno en el Ring.

Los Perros del Mal held a press conference to explain their association with AAA. (Reports from R de Rudo and the Gladiatores.) They did not specific what they would be doing at TripleMania, but concentrated on the framework for the partnership. Perro Aguayo Jr. spent most of the press conference repeating that his promotion was not going away or merging into AAA, and not doing an invasion angle, but it was just two like promotions doing inter promotional matches to make things more interesting for the fans. Perro pitched Halloween & Damian vs Nicho & Lider as the sort of dream match which could now be done. (Fun fact: you know who beat Nicho & Lider to win the tag titles? Extreme Tiger and Halloween. None of the possible matches are that new or fresh.)  Perro also proposed their heavyweight champion, X-Fly, versus AAA’s heavyweight champion. X-Fly is so over, MedioTiempo thought he was Zumbido. Perro somehow compared Sombra vs Volador to Damian vs Hijo de LA Park in a way I didn’t toally understand, but I think he believes Los Perros top guys are as important as the top guys elsewhere.

That would be something. Based on who was brought up here, I’d expect the Perros crew showing up tomorrow to be Perro, Damian, Halloween, X-Fly, Hijo de LA Park (obvious where he’d get involved; Perro made a point of saying LA Park was still a member of Los Perros) and Super Crazy. I believe it was LuchandoLibre’s Twitter which said Hijo de Lizmark might also be involved, but his name was not brought up here. Neither was Charly Manson.

The Gladiatores and Estrellas del Ring add more details to Thursday’s IWRG show

  • IWRG guys refused to tag in and out to Gato Everady, except Pantera. Cats got to stick together.
  • Ola Malidita won in straight falls

On a slower day, this would be the headliner: Mistico & Volador belittle the invaders and invasion angle, talk about how they really rather fight each other. Volador says he has no interest in fighting Mr. Aguila, Mistico says Dinamitas are the old lucha and he’s the best lucha. Mistico says the invaders are being given spots they no longer deserve, and have no credibility. This is meant to hype Sin Salida, and fails in every measure. There are quotes from Shocker, who actually builds up the meaning of CMLL defending itself in this feud.

BOSJ update: Sombra lost to Davey Richards via pinfall, dropping him to 2 and 2 and 4 points. If Sombra were to win out against Liger, Kushida and Devitt to reach 10 points, he could get into a tie for the last spot. It’s a long shot.

Juvi has a new CD out. He was signing copies on Friday and will be performing at the Lucha Libre Expo. He says he’s getting the music on iTunes too. Can’t wait.

Ras de Lona notes

  • What I assume is Delta’s injury was shown during the highlights of that match. He attempted a inside out springboard diving headscissors onto Nosferatu, but didn’t get his legs wrapped around the rudo’s head and ended up with self powerbomb onto the floor.
  • Gigante Bernard explains he was a San Diego Charger, but decided to get into wrestling so he could beat up more people. Also, Universo 2000 had better things to do than show up for his Ras de Lona interview to hype Sin Salida.
  • Bernard/Strong Man got a special music video and face to face interview. Gigante Bernard was especially amusing here.
  • In a quick news bite, Pequeno Damian 666 was said to be reborn as “Demus 3:16”, which will be a pain to type. At least he keeps the numbers on his head.
  • And, there was different lineup for Friday then CMLL announced today.

Lineups

CMLL (FRI) 06/11 Arena Mexico
1) Metálico & Starman vs Puma King & Tiger Kid
2) Ángel de Oro, Ángel de Plata, Rush vs Cancerbero, Euforia, Raziel
3) Máscara Dorada, Metro, Stuka Jr. vs Dragón Rojo Jr., Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca

5) Brazo de Plata, Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Shocker vs Atlantis, Gigante Bernard, Último Guerrero
6) Hijo del Fantasma, Místico, Negro Casas vs Héctor Garza, Olímpico, Volador Jr.

Ras de Lona had the title match, but also Shocker/Brazo de Plata/Hijo del Fantamsa vs Hector Garza/Mr. Aguila/Olimpico and Strong Man vs Gigante Bernard instead of the top two. That TV show clearly was building to that singles match. Perhaps Strong Man has somewhere else to be? Perhaps Rayo gets the pin on Gigante Bernard instead? Perhaps.

I guess Volador & Mistico won’t be done on Friday. Title match should be awesome.

IWRG (SUN) 06/13 Arena Naucalpan
2) Eragon & Némesis vs Alan Extreme & Comando Negro
3) Chico Che, Freelance, Suicida vs Fishman Jr., Hijo del Signo, Trauma II

5) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown vs Tinieblas Jr., Trauma I, Veneno

Not sure where the Thursday lineup is. Semimain seems to indicate an outcome to this week’s four way tag match. The team of Tinieblas, Trauma I, and Veneno are the men to end the streak!

Nemesis is a former Junior Pirata. Or was a former Junior Pirata. I can’t keep track any more.
