IWRG (SUN) 02/13/2011 Arena Naucalpan [Black Terry Jr. (flickr), The Gladiatores, Al Filo del Ring]
1) Imposible & Tonatiuh b Fulgore I & Fulgore II
quick falls
2) El Pollo & Eragon DQ Hammer & Magnifico
Pollo turned on Eragon after Eragon accidentally hit him a few times. Ref waved it off as a DQ. Pollo appeared to join the rudo side after the match.
3) Carta Brava Jr., Comando Negro, Eterno b Alan Extreme, Dinamic Black, Golden Magic
Comando Negro reversed a roll up and grabbed the bottom rope to beat Alan Extreme. Alan shoved the ref for blowing the call. Eterno suffered a wrist injury catching a dive at the end. Golden Magic, replacing the billed Goleador, appears to be a new name.
4) el Ángel, Multifacético, Veneno b Avisman, Destroyer, El Hijo del Diablo
Destoyer’s girl Sherry got involved as usual. She teased kissing Veneno in the third fall, Veneno knocked her away, but Diablo still pinned him.
5) Bobby Lee Jr., Hijo de LA Park, Trauma I b Bestia 666, Hijo de Máscara Año 2000, Hijo de Pirata Morgan
Bobby Lee Jr. replaced Hijo del Pantera. Rudos took the first, tecnicos the second, and Park beat Pirata for the win.
Al Filo del Ring has an interview with Los Gringos.
CMLL (MON) 02/14/2011 Arena Puebla [SporTimes]
1) Black Tiger & Tigre Rojo b Sauron & Siki Ozama Jr.
2) Camorra, Fuerza Chicana, Robin b Camaleón, Freesbe, Lestat
Robin filled in for Zayco. Despite being on the wrong side, he still won. This was Camaleón’s debut in Arena Puebla, and he seems to be showing up much more frequently this year.
3) Sangre Azteca DQ Misterioso II, Loco Max, Ares, Vangelis, Stuka Jr., Sagrado, Metro, Fuego, Delta [cibernetico]
Ares replaced Nosferatu. No order of elimination. Much like Tuesday’s cibernetico, it came down to two guys on the same team. This time, it was feuding Sangre Azteca and Misterioso. Misterioso yanked Sangre’s mask for the rare DQ finish to a cibernetico.
4) Euforia, Pólvora, Virus b Ángel de Oro, Diamante, Rush
Virus snuck in a foul on Rush for the pin. Rush demanded a rematch for next week, and Virus accepted.
5) La Sombra, Máscara Dorada, Super Porky DQ Averno, Mephisto, Volador Jr.
Rudos took the firs, tecnicos took the second, Averno yanked Dorada’s mask in the third fall.
R de Rudo has a really good interview with Heavy Metal about his life long love of music. Metal believes Arena Naucalpan, in the late 80s, was the first lucha libre arena to use entrance music. The building also doubled as an skating rink (!!) so they had the music and lights already set up.

“Pollo appeared to join the rudo side after the match.” The real question is not the possibility of El Pollo turning rudo, but what happened to Pollito? Dude disappeared quicker than Pollo’s mask.
He’s still there, you just can’t see him! HA! Actually he’s probably back in AULL as Trolly.
All the newest Jr Brazos must have had their gimmicks revoked b/c a few weeks back one of them took a new name and now I’m pretty sure Golden Magic is the ex-Brazo Cibernetico Jr.
Also, Eterno sprained his wrist when he slipped on a dive in the second fall but he finished the match.
As pointed out to me on youtube via LuchaLibreMX – I got my Brazo kids confused.
Brazo Metalico -> Magia Jr. -> Golden Magic
He’ll settle on a name one of these days.
Smackdown 8.3
CMLL 2.8
AAA 3.2
RAW 8.3
Accion 8.8
Mas Deporte 6.8
Azteca Boxing 9.4
Televisa Boxing 5.9
I will always include the Sunday shows Accion and Mas Deporte because they cover Lucha. Mas Deporte actually does a 5 or 6 minute block every week, hyping RAW.
In 2011, 3.something will be the new norm for AAA? Let’s see.
