IWRG (THU) 03/01/2012 Arena Naucalpan [Black Terry Jr. (flickr), Estrellas del Ring, IWRG]
1) Matrix Jr. & Pacto Negro b Galaxy & Sky Ángel
Completely different match than the one advertised (Astro de Plata/Kiwoc vs Acero/Mr. Temples.) Siad to be error filled.
2) Chicano & Tritón b Gemelo Fantastico I & Gemelo Fantastico II
3) Carta Brava Jr., Chico Che, Imposible b Aero Boy, Dinamic Black, Golden Magic
4) Freyser, Suicida, Trauma II b Alemán, Eterno, Violento Jack
Aleman, the debuting German, is of course a Nazi. Segura’s back here for the first time in 9 months (after some issues about working IWL shows.) Freyser and Violento are feuding.
5) Angelico, Negro Navarro, Trauma I b Pirata Morgan, Texano Jr., Toscano
Tecnicos in straight falls. Rudos jumped the tecnicos, but Navarro snuck in a submission on Pirata. Pirata Morgan fouled Trauma I in the second, btu Truama II snuck out and fouled Pirata Morgan to set up the pin. Consejo destroyed the Navarros after the match.

Negro Casas says the interesting thing about his match with Blue Panther is they are from the same generation, he has no particular strategy because he’s not sure how Panther will attack him, and this match won’t end the rivalry but just give them one more reason to be angry with each other.
Volador says he has a new outfit for tonight. CMLL Gaceta has a note up explaining how to get to Arena Mexico and where to buy the tickets, telling them not to buy from scalpers.
AAA says Jeff Jarrett will defend the AAA world title versus Mesias at Rey de Reyes. Announcers have brought Jarrett up on commentary, but no TNA wrestler has been in AAA since Guerra de Titanes.
Arena Lopez Mateos will have a two day expo on March 17 and 18, leading into an anniversary show on March 19th with Blue Demon & Daga vs Mesias & Joe Lider.
Rob has highlights of 02/10/12 AAA
LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update.

- La Opinion writes about a new promotion in Houston, Texas. It includes Hernadnez and Cinthia Moreno’s husband (and so has an association with Arena Azteca Budokan.) The article messed up the name of the group – it appears to be Latino Wrestling Entertainment – and there’s no show specifically being hyped.
- LuchaMania notes today is the Lucha Libre Femenil (of Monterrey) opening show of the year with a list of previous season opening lineups.
- Tinieblas did not like his mask at first (could not see!) and thinks less luchadors should be masked. It’s very odd to read a career retrospective without a mention of great feud or a great match (though Tinieblas does mention making lots of money.)
- DJ Spectro talks about going to the Todo x el Todo show.
- R de Rudo talked to El Tacubo.
- A new sports complex in Monterrey was named in honor of Blue Demon Sr.
Lineups
CMLL (TUE) 03/06/2012 Arena Mexico
***March Fan Appreciation Show (Tuesday)***
1) Freesbe & Robin vs Apocalipsis & Inquisidor
2) Metálico & Starman vs Nosferatu & Puma King
3) Dragon Lee & Titán vs Cancerbero & Cholo and Camaleón & Soberano Jr. and Bobby Zavala & Stigma [torneo Sangre Nueva]
4) Diamante, La Máscara, Sagrado vs Kráneo, Morphosis, Psicosis
5) Atlantis, Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr. vs Rey Bucanero, Terrible, Tiger [MEX TRIOS]
Again, I think the Atlantida team are slight favorites, but a title change is no surprise.
They’re really not giving Diamante a new name. They’re just going to have both Diamante and Diamante Azul. Everyone will be confused.
Random tournament time! There’s zero explanation of this Sangre Nueva tournament, perhaps that’s coming later. It’s a wide variance of teams: Dragon Lee & Titan are way above the rest of this crew, Cancerbero & Cholo are about two matches apart normally (and neither really qualifies as “new blood”), Camaleon is not teaming with eternal amigo Freesbe and Stigma appears to be the Puebla kid (and Panico/Skandalo family member) who’s switching sides for this tournament.
Nosferatu returns, maybe, again.
IWRG (THU) 03/15/2012 Arena Naucalpan
1) Astro de Plata & Astro Rey Jr. vs Pacto Negro & Polifacético
2) Charly Madrid & Chicano vs Comando Negro & The Mummy
3) Dinamic Black, Golden Magic, Suicida vs Acero, Alemán, Imposible
4) Freyser, Trauma I, Trauma II vs Alan Extreme, Eterno, Violento Jack
5) Hijo de LA Park vs Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., Mascara Sagrada Jr., Halcon 78 Jr., Bestia 666, Hijo de Pirata Morgan, Canek Jr., Apolo Estrada Jr., Ultramán Jr., Carta Brava Jr. [#1 Contenders, JUNIOR DE JUNIORS]
Winner gets a shot at Trauma I’s title.
I’m really happy to see Stigma get a shot and hope others do aswell.
Yesterday, there was a story in a NYC Mexican newspaper about Latin Lover cheating on his wife. Story said that Lover had an affair with edecan Kennia Gonzalez(Cubs, Rob, Fredo, you guys have a pic of her?) and she has a 15 year-old girl named Frida Sofia who is Latin Lover’s daughter.
The girl complains that she wants a relationship with her father and deserves that much. Also says she wants him to take a paternity test.
btw- Newspaper is diario de mexico (NYC).
