thecubsfan 2 Comments

CMLL (SUN) 12/05 Arena Coliseo [CMLL]
1) Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II b Apocalipsis & Cholo
2) Metálico, Sensei, Starman b Demus 3:16, Hooligan, Nitro
3) Durango Kid, Euforia, Virus b Ángel Azteca Jr., Molotov, Trueno
4) Delta, Diamante, Valiente b Mephisto, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca
5) Héctor Garza, Texano Jr., Volador Jr. b Blue Panther, Brazo de Plata, La Sombra

With the referee out of the way, Volador fouled Sombra to get the winning pinfall. The two seemed to agree to a singles match for next week.

Rudos were seemingly about to win the semimain when Sangre Azteca accidentally crossed up Misterioso. Tecnicos took advantage for the win. Both Mephisto & Misterioso were angry with Sangre after the match, and this seems to be the pattern of the week.

So…Sangre, Valiente and Guerrera Maya as tecnico Poder Mexico? I don’t think Sangre Azteca is going to work 50% as well as a tecnico, but that train is rolling.

Trueno replaced Pegasso.

Opening match rudos had Rayo I beat in the third fall, but Rayo II defeated both of them to win the match.

Cesar says it was a show with one match better than the next.

DJ Spectro notes a show in Tijuana on Christmas Day with El Hijo del Santo vs Latin Lover vs Blue Demon Jr. Either CMLL’s policy on working shows with Santo will change, or Latin-Oh won’t work that show.

AAA in AJPW
12/05: Ozz & Cuervo b KAI & Bushi [Ozz Special on Bushi]
Not a tournament match. They finish 5th of 9, with one more non-tournament match to come.

AAA in NOAH?
Our old friend Sugi has resurfaced, hopefully recovered from his self-inflicted knee injury. He’s wrestling on NOAH’s 12/12 (evening) show, and is listed as an AAA star. I’d be surprised if he actually was back in AAA, but I’m surprised a lot tonight.

Zorro, new champ

A busy show!

Opener was a dark match with locals. The usual ones.

Pimpi beat Polvo in the opener.

Octagon was bleeding early in the match, and down on the outside. He made it back in, only to be fouled by Super Fly and pinned.

Champions retained their tag titles.

Nygma took the mystery spot for the Bizarros. Amadeus also showed up at ringside. Jack pinned Scoria with a 450 splash. After the match, Cibernetico revealed he was the motorcycle driver –

(explanation needed here: Octagon had said there were two people involved in the attack. Super Fly attacked Octagon, but Cibernetico was the guy at the end of the alley who drove away. Parka was right to suspect him!)

– Dorian and Konnan came out to welcome Cibernetico into La Sociedad. Cibernetico again explained the concept: they’re not with either side, but against them both. Militia tried to attack, but were run off. Cibernetico then introduced the newest Bizarro: Charly Manson, direct from Mexico (and everyone expecting him to be facing Rey Bucanero sometime in the next few months.)

Charly walked out of AAA over (potentially) losing his hair, and vowed never to return to AAA. Never is a short time in wrestling. This is big coup for AAA and a smart move for Charly (the Invasors seem have run their course.)

Park beat Mesias bloody, beat him with a chair, and won with a foul. Park put a Hijo de Cien Caras mask over his victim after the match.

Zorro achieved his prophecy with help from La Militia, Konnan, Dorian and a fast count from Hijo de Tirantes. Still, Zorro’s the champ.

Didn’t think a team with X-Fly would end the Psycho Clown’s streak. Thought it could end with a Perro Aguayo Jr. team. As it tursn out, we got a little bit of both. Perro Jr. returned, sneaking in the cage with a Murder Clown mask, and attacking the undefeated team to make them a little bit less undefeated.

After the match, Wagner came out to talk about how he had been ripped off and the Psycho Circuswere  cheated, but he was going to rally AAA to stop the Sociedad. (The usual bit.)

edit: fixed some stuff. Also, check out SuperLuchas photo of Charly Manson returning – and the massive area of empty seats behind him.

Guerra de Titanes preview

thecubsfan 24 Comments

Yep. Not a lot on the line here. There’s no grand story coming to an end here – there’s some big stories that seem like they’re just starting (Bizarros, Super Fly’s turn) and there’s some filler stories just to give people things to do this month. It’s also a lot of the same sort of matches.

1) Gato Eveready, Octagoncito, Pimpinela Escarlata vs Decnnis, Mini Abismo Negro, Polvo de Estrellas

Usual mixed opener which may or may not make TV depending on how long everything else. This should be fine and this will probably end up with the minis involved in the finish (let’s say Octagoncito over Mini Abismo.) Kinda odd that the leader of the Militia is relegated to the opener, but I presume he’s got some big cornerman duties later in the show. Polvo in this match rules him out of being the newest Bizarro. (Jesse is still available.) The real question: how late will this match start? :52 after the start?

2) Aerostar, El Elegido, Octagón vs Alan Stone, Chris Stone, Súper Fly [street fight]

This is a street fight, which means it’s like every other AAA match except perhaps they’ll do pinfalls on the outside? Perhaps. This is Super Fly’s big debut as a rudo match, so his side should win, but this is more his chance to make an impression in his new role. If he’s got any shot of breaking out of his slot, it’s got to happen right away.

If AAA is doing this right, it needs to be Aerostar or Laredo Kid (or, god help us, Elegido) avenging Octagon. I like championships too much, so I’d bring back the middleweight title, have Super Fly beat Octagon for it, and have someone beat Super Fly for it, but a belt is not really the important thing. Super Fly has to get a capital letter WIN over Octagon or they might as well not have even bothered.

3) Silver King & Último Gladiador vs Joe Lider & Nicho el Millionario and El Ilegal & Hernandez [AAA TAG, Ladder]

187 is the only two man team AAA consistently keeps together, and consistently treats them as the biggest deal, so they probably should have the championships. Hernandez and Ilegal are sort of feuding with them, but after being totally belittled as a team in Naucalpan, I don’t think AAA sees much in them. These belts don’t mean much and there’s nothing keeping any of these teams from winning, so I wouldn’t be surprised by any one winning, but 187 is my pick.

Match is likely to be gif worthy. They’ll try hard, but they’ll inevitable try too hard.

4) Espíritu, Extreme Tiger, Jack Evans, La Parka Jr. vs ???, Cibernético, Escoria, Taboo

The pattern for new Bizarros has been guys hanging around the fringes of the roster. (Jesse is still available. So is Mantra.) Espiritu is right there, so I’m pretty sure the Bizarros should find a way to win this. More interesting will be the fan reactions – I’m actually not sure if the Bizarros are meant to be cheered or booed in this match. Starting out with Parka is a good way to get booed.

If only Escoria and Taboo are going to wrestle, why have five Bizarros? I guess the new guy is in the match too.

5) El Mesías vs LA Park

This will be a brawl in a show that looks to be nothing but brawls. This one will probably be bloody. I expect it to be interesting, and parts where I’m bored as they walk around ringside. Mesias seems to lose the first big match of every feud, and this is the first big match.

6) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown vs Damián 666, Halloween, X-Fly [cage]

Another brawl, this one with weapons. I can’t believe a team with X-Fly is going to end the streak; if there’s any thought Perro Jr. is coming back here, they might as well wait for that. This would actually be a decent win for the Psycho Circus, though it’s probably far too late to matter. This match will probably be messy.

7) Dr. Wagner Jr. vs Zorro [AAA HEAVY]

This really needs to not be a brawl to balance out this card, but they needed the same thing last time around and Silver King & Dr. Wagner pulled chairs out of the crowd two minutes in. Just like that match, this has every bit of feeling of a title match because they needed something for Wagner to do this month but really didn’t have any plans. (I’d guess the plans were originally Park/Wagner for this time, then Park left for a while and they didn’t want to waste it with little build.) Maybe they do something where Zorro has the belt temporarily, either by picking up the belt to use it during the match or a finish that’s immediately overturned, just to keep his prophecies going, but he’s not going to be champion at the end of the night.
