CMLL (MON) 06/07 Arena Puebla [Sportimes, Fuego en el Ring]
1) Akron, Fuerza Chicana, Toro Bill Sr. b King Jaguar, Lestat, Tigre Rojo Jr.
2) Ángel de Plata, Fabián el Gitano, Sensei DQ Dr. X, Hooligan, Nitro
3) Mima Shimoda, Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sujei b Dalys la Caribeña, Lady Apache, Luna Mágica
4) Blue Panther, La Máscara, Toscano b Olímpico, Shigeo Okumura, Taichi
5) Gigante Bernard, Máscara Año 2000, Universo 2000 b Brazo de Plata, Shocker, Strong Man

Bernard continues to win in straight falls.

Tecnicos went over all the rudos to win the third fall. Fans got on Taichi for his bald head.

Princesa Sujei caught Lady Apache with a small package for the win. Sujei challenged Lady Apache for a shot at her Pro Wrestling Revolution Women’s Championship, and it’s signed for next week.

Dr. X covered all his bases, fouling Fabian and stripping his mask.

AAA (MON) 06/07 Arena Cuatro Caminos de Nuevo Laredo [El Manana]
4) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown b Black Mamba, Cuervo, Escoria
5) LA Park & Ozz b Heavy Metal & La Parka Jr.

Top 2 matches were two falls. LA Park and La Parka continued to use the same names they’ve been using, with no change due to the TripleMania stipulation. Parka was hurting coming into the match and was destroyed by Park.

CMLL (TUE) 06/08 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Virgo b Meteoro
2) El Divino & Leo b Ángel del Mal & In Memoriam
3) Gallo & Palacio Negro b Ráfaga & Rey Trueno
4) Dragón Rojo Jr., Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca b Delta, Metal Blanco, Rush
5) Gigante Bernard & Héctor Garza b Brazo de Plata & Shocker

How many falls did Gigante Bernard win in? TWO. To mix this one up, this was Garza sneaking in a foul on Porky. Porky’s gotta be losing his hair before the leafs turn colors. Or the Leafs start playing.

Sangre Azteca yanked Metal Blanco’s mask off and rolled him up for a pin.

Gallo replaced Neutron, feuded with Rey Trueno off Sunday’s shenanigans.

CMLL (TUE) 06/08 Arena Mexico [@cmllmagazine]
1) Rayo Tapatío II & Robin b Cholo & Semental
2) Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sujei, Yeska b Estrella Mágica, Lluvia, Luna Mágica
3) Ángel Azteca Jr., Pegasso, Rey Cometa b Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Skándalo
4) Pólvora, Terrible, Texano b Blue Panther, Sagrado, Toscano
5) Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero b Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto

ReyBuc got Ephesto clean with the Buca Storm, and laid down the title challenge again. Will he get it this week? You’ll find out before the end of this post!

Rudos all landed their finishers to win the semimain match.

Estrella Magica replaced Dalys. Lluvia hurt herself on an attempted tope.

Oriental is excited about returning to CMLL, where he’ll shutting some mouths and humiliate others. Oriental left to AAA ten years ago, but trained in CMLL’s gym and started his major lucha career there. This is not the way Oriental frames it – he’s complimentary towards the Perros, just as others who’ve left – but I like the idea of Mr. Aguila, Olimpico and Mr. Aguila as a embittered rudo trio, educating all these young tecnicos about what their future looks like if they’re not a company favorite.

The same Demus 3:16 interview about changing his name popped up in a bunch of places; the YahooMexico site loads well, so that’s one link; Estrellas del Ring & the Gladiatores has video interviews. The ex-Pequeno Damian 666 says he still believes he owns that name, but doesn’t want to deal with an argument over it so he’s decided to start with a new name. He says he has no problem with Damian 666. Demus says the name comes from an Arabian demon.

Perros del Mal has a photos of their trip to TripleMania. LA Park, saying today he didn’t join Perros del Mal, is pictured wearing a Perros del Mal t-shirt. I can see that, wrestlers just like free shirts, he had no idea it meant anything. Elsewhere, Damian 666 & Halloween tell R de Rudo how much they want to face Joe Lider and Nicho el Millionario. I’m glad someone wants that match, since we’re surely stuck with it.

Silver King replaces Mesias on the AAA spot show in Puebla this weekend. Mesias is still out hurt, and that must be why he’s not on either of next week’s TV shows.

The director for Slang, who are producing the AAA video game, talks about the game and their plans for the Latin America market.

Young Zacatecas luchador Centella passed after a car accident.

Kcidis draws Maximo & Taichi at the barber shop.

LuchaWorld compares invasions.

Lineup

CMLL (TUE) 06/15 Arena Mexico
1) Bengala & Metálico vs Artillero & Súper Comando
2) Bam Bam, Eléctrico, Fantasy vs Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Nitro, Pequeño Violencia
3) Diamante, Sagrado, Valiente vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Nosferatu, Virus

Note CMLL.com still lists Damian under his old name. Wonder how long that’ll take.

Gooooo Bucanero.

DF Box Y Lucha Comission: LA Park vs LA Parka was a no contest

thecubsfan 4 Comments

In yesterday’s Reforma (reprinted in today’s Siglo de Torreon), the Mexico City Box Y Lucha representative at TripleMania, Jorge Gomez Garnica, says the finish of the LA Park vs La Parka Jr. match was ruled to be a no contest. This is what had been reported by Luchas2000 at the end of the show, but AAA insisted the LA Park won the match.

The explanation is Copetes Salazar was the official referee for the match. He was knocked out, and Hijo de Tirantes materialized to make the final count for LA Park. Gomez Garnica quotes Article 12 & 13 of the Rulebook.

Articles 12 & 13 in the Rulebook are all the powers attributed to Commissioners. If you actually read the rulebook (PDF), it’s a lot of what you would expect and want a real local commission to have: there’s supposed to check to make sure the show is run as and when advertised, report on an incidents between performers and fans, perform weigh ins for title matches, and make sure the match is stopped if a doctor says it needs to be. There’s nothing written in the law about over turning finishes of matches, and it would take a very broad reading of those sections to come up with one.

This is not the first time a back up referee has makes the three count; they’ve been doing for months with Piero and Hijo de Tirantes and there’s been no wave of no contests all over the place.

It’s been done in Mexico City. It’s been done in this same building. It’s been done on TripleMania with the same referee. Two years ago, the show ended with Cibernetico vs Zorro for the Heavyweight Title. Tirantes Senior started as referee, but was wiped out. Konnan tried to take over as referee, but was laid out. Hijo de Tirantes ran to the ring and counted the three count for Cibernetico. Commission was OK with that.

(This same commissioner was also the commissioner on hand for the Mistico vs Volador title match, where Mistico did about dozen different disqualification tactics and generally went insane. Not a no contest.)

As far as the decision, it really doesn’t matter. The DF Commission will be ignored in SLP when AAA tapes there next  Wednesday, and they’ll be ignored when they tape in Jalisco on Sunday. LA Park himself is doing his best to kill the stipulation, saying today he doesn’t really care if La Parka Jr. keeps using the same name and keeps using the same costume, because all LA Park needed to prove he was the better man, and even if someone commission changes the ‘official’ result, the people all know who won.
