Shocker vs Atlantis, Dos Caras, Lucha POP

LEGEND (SAT) 11/19/2011 Arena San Juan Pantitlan [SL440]
1) Danny Boy & Dragon Chino b Memo Arenas & Ray Richard
Dragon Chino replaced Flecha/Skayde. Richard & Danny Boy are feuding.
2) Mohicano I & Mohicano II b Gran Apache & Gran Apache II
Best match of the night. Mochicano I snuck in a foul on Gran Apache II, and the two talked about an apuesta match.
3) Dinámico II, Falcón, Ultraman b Billy Boy, Escoria, Taboo
Dinamico II is Ultrman’s nephew.
4) Aerostar, Argos, Drago (AAA) b Cuchillo, El Engendro, Scorpio Jr.
Argos, who is supposedly hurt, replaced the MIA Laredo Kid. Argos, also hurt, also worked this match. Tecnicos took 1/3, Argos getting the pin on Scorpio. Cuchillo replaced Shu el Guerrero.
5) Dos Caras Sr., Halcon 78, Villano IV NC Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown
Clowns won the first fall, team UWA won the second, Los Perros (Damian, Bestia, Ek Balam) attacked the Clowns, which somehow was ruled a no-contest instead of a DQ. Both teams ran off the Perros.

Don’t get paid if you don’t work.

LUCHA POP (SAT) 11/26/2011 Centro de Espactaculos, Ecatepec [Black Terry Jr. (flickr)Estrellas del RingLuchas en Vivo]
1) Angel del Misterio & Arez b Big Mama & Tornado
2) Black Mamba, La Vaquerita, Yuki Star b Angel del Misterio, Keira, Vanely
Despite the loss, Keira will still get One Last Chance at Vaquerita’s title. Black Mamba pinned Angel del Misterio.
3) Zumbi b Tribal
Tribal was Zumbi’s mystery opponent. Zumbi remains undefeated in LUCHA Pop.
4) Lolita DCOR Diana La Cazadora
Keira was Lolita’s second, Vaquerita’s Diana, so of course they got involved with the match and each other. Fans not thrilled with the draw finish, and they made tag challenges.
5) Trauma I b Trauma II, Black Terry, Tritón (IWRG), Judas el Traidor, Belial, Negro Navarro, Terremoto Negro [Torneo POP STAR] YouTube
Not so much brackets after all, just an 8 way elimination match. Order of elimination was Belial, Terremoto Negro, Triton, Judas, and Black Terry, just leaving the three Navarros. Negro beat Trauma II, but Trauma I defeated his dad.

They announced another show here on 12/18.

Segunda Caida already has a review of the main event.

CMLL (SUN) 11/27/2011 Arena Coliseo [CMLL, CMLL Gaceta (4)La Catedral]
1) Apocalipsis & Bronco b Höruz & Leono
Rudos took 2/3.
2) Bobby Zavala, Rayo Tapatío I, Rayo Tapatío II b Hombre Bala Jr., Starman, Super Halcon Jr.
Rudos took 1/3. Rayo Tapatio I pinned Starman for the deciding win.
3) Black Warrior, Hijo del Fantasma, Toscano b Misterioso Jr., Nitro, Vangelis
Nitro replaced Hijo del Signo. Tecnicos took 1/3.
4) Atlantis, Guerrero Maya Jr., Sagrado DQ Shocker, Titán, Triton
The ‘new’ Joven Tapatios made their debuts here. Shocker’s squad got DQed in the first fall for crotching Maya on the post (which seems to have been reclassified as a foul rather recently), then rallied back to the take the second. Shocker fouled Atlantis in the third for the second DQ and the loss. The new unit are clearly rudos against Atlantis’ gang, and it remains to be seen if they’re rudos against everyone else.
5) Ephesto, Mephisto, Volador Jr. b La Máscara, Rush, Super Porky
Rudos took 1/3. In the third, Volador pulled off his shirt – and pulled off his mask in the process! Volador stumbled with his arms stuck in his shirt, trying to get his mask back, and Mascara kicked him out of the ring.

I like to think the Tapatios are now friends with Zavala because he sold out all the secrets of his Gen11 allies. I also like to think this is a vignette that aired on some show I have yet to get to, but will find in about five years. It makes CMLL easier to handle.

Other News

Next weekend is annual Teleton (Mexican telethon for special needs children, a fine idea), which takes over many Mexican (and some US) channels for Friday and Saturday. Early schedules says they are NOT pre-empting AAA & CMLL’s main shows. Looks like the AAA regional broadcast via Guadalajara is still on. Not as sure about any other ones, and this can all change in the next few days.

Rob has highlights of 11/05/11 AAA and a clip of Dark Angel’s fall.

LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s Saturday news report, and his Sunday one and Alfredo on last week’s AAA.

11/26 AAA TV Results (Pachuca)

AAA TV (SAT) 11/26/2011 Lienzo Charro de Pachuca, Hidalgo [AAAEstrellas del RingMT (5)MT (rest)]
1) Mini Histeria & Tigre Cota b Argenis & Mascarita Divina
2) Dark Dragon & Tito Santana b Sugi San & Súper Fly
Moved down a spot to the second match. Super Fly was taken out by Octagon & the rudos walking to the ring. Sugi was left on his own for a while. Super Fly did recover to help make the comeback, but the rudos still won. Sugi got dropped on his head on a ‘rana-like move from Dark Dragon and was strechered out.
3) Casandro, La Braza, Pimpinela Escarlata b Pasion Kristal, Polvo de Estrellas, Yuriko
Casandro pinned Yuriko
4) Abyss & Chessman b Extreme Tiger & Joe Lider
Moved down a spot to the fourth match. Lider looked like he might win the match, and Nicho ran in to put a stop to that. Abyss put Lider thru a table for the win. Nicho threw fire in Tiger’s face.
5) Gunner b Monster Clown
Also moved down a spot. This was a bit weird. Mesias came out first, showing an elbow injury, explaining he’d been attacked by Gunner and saying the medical personal did not want him to wrestle but he did want to anyway. Konnan came out, and ordered Mesias to fight Dark Dragon & Tito to get to Mesias. That did not last long before Gunner jumped in. Monster Clown, Murder Clown and Joaquin Roldan came out for the save, with Roldan making the actual match Monster Clown vs Gunner. Plenty of of interference and Gunner won.
6) Fenix & Jack Evans b el Hijo del Perro Aguayo & Halloween
Moved up two spots. Rudos dominated the match, but Jack again snuck a pin on Perro via moonsault on chair for the win. Perros were very displeased, blooding Jack after the match. No new Perro.
7) Dr. Wagner Jr., Psycho Clown, Zorro DQ LA Park, Nicho el Millionario, Octagón
Dr. Wagner was accompanied by Hijo de Dr. Wagner, who was attacked by Park during the match. Octagon had Tito & Dark Dragon fighting for him. After a brawl, Octagon fouled Wagner for the DQ. Park vs Wagner for Guerra de Titanes was announced. Hijo del Dr. Wagner will be Wagner’s second for that match.

Mexico Air Date: looking like 12/03 now.

Gunner vs Monster Clown! I was trying to figure out the proper AAA comparison to Gunner, and Monster Clown, the least important Clown, is pretty close. I don’t know how Jeff Jarrett is going to rule it, but it seems to me he needs to pay Gunner for taking out Mesias. (Also, AAA kind of needs to bring him back for someone to beat him later now. Though maybe not, because it’s Gunner.)

Next taping is Thursday, the traditional date for shows in Toluca. No lineup posted for it quite yet, but it should be soon.
