One more reminder: I’ll be Unregular Radio’s Riley Matthews show this Friday at 8pm EST, talking AAA and the Royal Rumble. You can catch the show thru the website, plus send in questions for me to answer thru the instant feedback link. The best question gets a lucha mask!
IWRG (THU) 01/27/2011 Arena Naucalpan [Fuego en el Ring, Estrellas del Ring]
1) Epidemia b Centurión
2) Dinamic Black & Hijo del Pantera b Carta Brava Jr. & Imposible
3) Alan Extreme, Chico Che, Saruman b Maldito Jr., Masada, Samot
Alan Extreme’s first match on the tecnico side after Maldito & Samot turned on him last week. Straight fall win for the tecnicos, rudos DQed for excessive violence on Alan in the first fall, he submitted Masada in the second fall
4) Avisman, Destroyer, El Hijo del Diablo b el Ángel, Tony Rivera, Trauma I
new masked Destoryer (and masked valet Sherry) were introduced as new Gringos VIP members. The other two had the trios belts. (Gringo Loco was said to be ‘not in Naucalpan’ on the broadcast last night’; seems he’s gone.) The new lineup won in their debut.
5) Electroshock, Multifacético, Pantera DQ Bestia 666, Pirata Morgan, Último Gladiador
Pimpi was originally listed in this match, but ended in Toluca instead. Electro took the spot and was about to win the match for his team when X-Fly and Damian rushed into attack him for the DQ.
Black Terry Jr. was over in Toluca so no video of this show from him, though I think this still is the TVC Deportes taping.
Today’s Arena Mexico show features the first match up of Mephisto and Hijo del Fantasma since Mephisto knocked him out with a brass knuckles punch two weeks ago. Rush and Texano may continue feuding in the semimain/ Sangre Azteca will again not get along with his teammates and lose in the fourth match.
Terrible says he and Texano haven’t defended their Occidente tag team belts because there’s no one their size in Guadalajara, just “smurfs” who aren’t on their level. Also, Terrible thinks Volador joined Hijo del Averno. He may have, and they just never got around to telling us.
LA Park, who was all over the promotional pictures and video of Lucha Libre USA Season 1 but never did appear (AAA conflict?), will appear for the group on their next group of shows: 02/19 Albuquerque (taping) and 02/20 West Valley, Utah (spot show.) You can buy tickets for that event here, prices are $15, $25 and $50 (plus a bunch of fees.)
LuchaWorld Monthly has a recap of 2010 and fantastic predictions for 2011. This week’s Slammin’ Stan is up too.
