Other News

Ras de Lona had Ultimo Guerrero, Shocker, Mr. Niebla, Volador all talking about their feuds with Atlantis. Shocker’s still upset about Atlantis stealing Delta & Maya away from him. Second most amusing part of the show was them talking about UG’s trip to NJPW – JCR doing the “otra nivel” catchphrase as we’re shown UG laying on the mat, obviously having just been beaten.

Most amusing part of the show was Mima asking for Mexican men who’d be interested in dating her to email in (luchas@mvs.com), and then talking Ayumi and Ray into the same deal. This was part of an interview with the entire Japanese contigent; Lyger was asked about his son, who has says is a fan of wrestling but not going to be a wrestler. Lyger says he too is a fan of lucha libre, but not actually wrestling – he likes to watch matches like Silueta vs Ray. This segment ended with Lyger dancing again. He’s the best.

Also on the show, Amapola  counted off all her defenses

  • 3 vs Lady Apache
  • 1 vs Princesa Blanca (in Panama)
  • 1 vs Luna Magica
  • 1 vs Lluvia (“un excelente lucha, Lluvia! [WINK]”)
  • vs Dark Angel at Arena  Coliseo
  • vs Estrelltia at Arena Mexico
  • vs Marcela
which somehow gets her to 26.

Daga says he’s depressed about all the losses he took on the last IWL tour, which is why he’s giving up their Junior belt and considering stepping away from lucha libre for right now. He will be on the 10/22 show and discuss it with IWL then. It does occur to me now that IWL has one singles champion and ran five shows, and he never got around to defending his belt on any of those shows. Might have made him feel better.

Angel de Plata will be out a couple weeks with a leg injury.

El Hijo del Santo opened an art exhibit (including his own paintings, of course) to celebrate his 29th anniversary of lucha libre. Santo noted a lot of his fans there were around his same age, which is actually quite the problem him for right now. Regardless, Hijo del Santo says 2012 will be a big year for Santo & Hijo del Santo.

Guerrero Maya, Delta, Dragon Lee, and Horus visited the elderly. Probably a good sign that Dragon Lee is OK.

The 11/01 Arena Aficion show has a intergender ruleta de la muerte. I think the person who appears to be a character from a Disney movie will lose. Io Shirai & Nosawa are in to wrestle on the ex-WWE tour coming up as well.

LuchaWorld has Ras de Lona from two weeks ago.

Lucha Libre in Japan

10/22: 6) {G1 tAG} Tetsuya Naito [O] & Tomoaki Honma b Strong Man & Tama Tonga [X]

Strong Man hasn’t been in CMLL since the end of July. His team starts the tournament 0-1 and is really no threat of winning.

The Magicas are still around!

CMLL (FRI) 10/28/2011 Arena Mexico
1) Metálico & Molotov vs Disturbio & Hooligan
2) Ángel Azteca, Ángel de Plata, Pegasso vs Arkángel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Skándalo
3) Amapola vs Marcela [CMLL WOMEN]

5) Blue Panther, Jushin Lyger, Rush vs Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas
6) Héctor Garza, La Sombra, Máscara Dorada vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto

Main event rematch, semimain builds off last week, and they’ve done that title match a time or two. Would expect this week’s main event to set up a title match next week.

I have a feeling Rey Cometa is hurt and Pegasso is taking his matches, because the opposite happened when Pegasso was hurt (and CMLL never really mentioned it for many weeks.) Hope I’m wrong.

10/21 AAA TV Results (Xalapa)

AAA TV (FRI) 10/21/2011 Arena Xalapa [AAA]
1) Jennifer Blake, Mini Psicosis, Sexy Star b Fabi Apache, Lolita, Octagoncito
Sexy powerbomb on Lolita.

La Parka appeared after the first match, explaining his turn. He said he was loyal to AAA and the fans for 15 years, but AAA brought LA Park back and the fans turned on him and supported LA Park. After that, Cibernetico attacked him, and the fans picked Cibernetico over him, which Parka said wasn’t for the first time. Since AAA & the fans weren’t loyal to him, Parka decided to leave them behind and join Dorian. Didn’t Dorian bring back LA Park? Oops.

2) Halloween & Nicho el Millionario b Extreme Tiger & Joe Lider [hardcore]
bloody chairshot filled match, with Lider needing medical help after the match.
3) Decnnis & Silver King b Electroshock & Heavy Metal
Silver King plancha onto Metal which included chairs. Metal needed medical help after the match.
4) Billy el Malo, Cibernético, Escoria b Fenix, Jack Evans, La Parka
La Parka refused to participate and occasionally ran away from Cibernetico. Billy beat Jack with the Kudo Driver. Who is Kudo?
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Drago, Zorro DQ Chessman, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, LA Park
Perro fouled Zorro for the DQ. Drago suffered an arm injury in this match (or maybe resuffered one?) Parka ran in to attack Wagner after the match, with Joaquin angrily storming the ring to yell at Parka. All the Sociedad rudos ran out to back up Parka, and they did more talking to emphasize La Parka was with the rudos now.

I’m not even guessing at air dates until they’re back on national TV. Next taping is 10/30 in Pachuca.
