Zorro takes Nicho’s hair, X-LAW, Taichi/Maximo

Who’s doing the monthly CMLL recaps for wikipedia? I’m guessing you’re reading this because of similar source links, but I’m just curious about it.

AAA PdN (SAT) 10/30 Poliforo Juan Gabriel [Mi Lucha Libre]
5) ZorroNicho el Millionario [hair]

Weapons match with Mini Abismo Negro and Octagoncito (as seconds) getting involved, and the referee favoring Zorro the whole way. No counts when Nicho had a pin, fast count for Zorro’s win. After the match, Nicho protested, demanded the ref be suspended for six months, questioned if the referee even had a license, and refused to get any more than a few locks cut off. However, later in the locker room, Nicho did get his hair shaved. Good he did it, bad the fans didn’t get to see it. Nicho complained more about the referee in an interview.

X-LAW (SAT) 10/30 Arena Lopez Mateos [SuperLuchas]
1) La Vaquerita b La Pantera and Chica Tormenta
2) Bunker & Chapulin Negro b Dragon Ninja, Lumino, Okuzono
3) Epidemia, Heavy Boy, Sadico DRAW Arsenal, Distubrio Ledesma, Sadico (Tampico)
4) Serval b El Duende, Aborto [XLAW WELTER]
5) Bestia 666, Grendel, Heimdal b Carta Brava, Cerebro Negro, Fantasma de la Ópera
6) Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro b Angel o Demonio, Leon Rojo, Obett
7) Super Crazy b Joe Lider, Shyru Dragon [XLAW JH]
8) Sabu b Damián 666 [XLAW INT]

Damian attacked Sabu in a press conference the day before the show, to explain his presence in the match (no Nosawa, who was the champion) and possibly to explain why Sabu went into the match with rib pain. Sabu favored it thru the match and even the Super Luchas recap notes he didn’t wrestle as well as he once did (though he tried), but Sabu did win the match and the title.

Both other titles matches had the champions retaining. Crazy pinned Joe Lider. Juvi turned up to celebrate with Super Crazy, and of course immediately turned on him to set up a future match. The battle of the Sadicos ended with the refs losing control of the match.

CMLL (SUN) 10/31 Arena Coliseo [CMLL]
1) Disturbio & MortizCamaleón & Robin
2) Bam Bam, Eléctrico, Último DragoncitoPequeño Olímpico, Pequeño Warrior, Pierrothito
3) Dark Angel, Goya Kong, Luna MágicaLa Comandante, La Seductora, Mima Shimoda
4) Shigeo Okumura, Taichi, YoshihashiMáximo, Toscano, Valiente
5) Blue Panther, Brazo de Plata, Hijo del FantasmaAtlantis, Mephisto, Rey Bucanero

Porky was both a vampire and Charly Manson! He also hurt Atlantis’ ribs on a splash, and Atlantis eventually was strechered out.

Taichi pinned Maximo clean with the Black Mephisto, then talked trash to Maximo. Unfortuantly, he did this in Japanese, but eventually everyone worked it out. Maximo offered a hair vs hair rematch.

Goya Kong dressed as a witch and got the win in her match.

Electrico feuded with Olimpico and Warrior in his match.

CMLL in NJPW: 10/31
– Giant Bernard, Karl Anderson, Prince Devitt & Ryusuke Taguchi b Terrible, Texano Jr., Jado & Gedo [Anderson on Gedo]
– Manabu Nakanishi, Strong Man & Koji Kanemoto beat Yuji Nagata, Wataru Inoue & Jushin Liger [Nakanishi on Liger]

LuchaWorld has Alfredo talking about his trip to Lucha Va Voom, and KrisZ’s news update.

Cesar is in a run of naming things or at least wondering about names for them: CMLL World Trios champsCamaleon’s trademark submission (Camaleon has a trademark?), Apolo Estrada Jr.’s stunner variant, Metalico’s wheelbarow driver, and Mortiz & Disturbio’s double team submission. I think I’ve seen Apolo’s stunners on the US indies (which means in Japanese move), but at least they’re doing new stuff. I’m all for names sticking to moves.

IWL and AAA TV tomorrow.
