CMLL (FRI) 11/09/2012 Arena Mexico [CMLL]
1) Sensei & Stigma b Bobby Zavala & Cholo
2) Demus 3:16, Pequeño Olímpico, Pierrothito b Acero, Fantasy, Último Dragoncito
Acero replaced Astral, who was hurt in Guadalajara on Tuesday. Rudos took 1/3.
3) Sangre Azteca b Fuego [lightning]
Sangre beat Fuego in 5:30 with the counter dropkick.
4) Namajague, Puma King, Shigeo Okumura b Rey Cometa, Stuka Jr., Triton
CMLL.com has changed Puma King’s to simply “Puma”, though Radio CMLL still used Puma King. By any name, he continued to feud with Cometa and swapped pins in the first couple falls. Rudos took 2/3, Okumura getting away with a foul on Stuka.
5) Averno, Niebla Roja, Pólvora b Guerrero Maya Jr., La Sombra, Titán
Averno led his team to a straight fall win, pinning Titan in the second and challenging for his title.
6) Terrible, Último Guerrero, Volador Jr. b Marco Corleone, Máximo, Rush
Bufete del Amor had American football jerseys. Volador was dressed up like a Na’vi from Avatar. Rudos took 1/3. Terrible powerbombed Marco and submitted him to a half crab for the win.

Sports website el Classical visits an Arena Mexico show, which turns in “what is this is lucha libre that I partially understand” piece. Guess which part stuck out the most to the author? Hint: involves a parrot.

Porra Fresa previews Mistico vs Mephisto.

Cronicas y Leyendas finds a video of Cien Caras & Mascara Ano 2000 defending the national tag team belts versus MS-1 & Masakre from the mid 80s and a Espanto III hold.

R de Rudo has the second part of it’s look at mask losses in AAA, and musical luchadors. No mention of Amadeus???

CMLL Gaceta has stats on Diamante Azul and Polvora. The only person who was received a lower grade for technical ability than Polvora is Metal Blanco

Guerrero Maya Jr. & Relampago will be signing autographs at the Trauma stand on 11/24.

CMLL (FRI) 11/16/2012 Arena Mexico
1) Bengala & Robin vs Camorra & Disturbio
2) Hombre Bala Jr., Pegasso, Super Halcon Jr. vs Hooligan, Raziel, Virus
3) Diamante vs Mephisto [lightning]
4) Diamante Azul, Rush, Shocker vs Felino, Negro Casas, Volador Jr.
5) Titán vs Averno [MEX WELTER]
Titan is the champion.
6) Atlantis, La Sombra, Mistico vs Euforia, Niebla Roja, Último Guerrero

This past week was a top tecnico trios vs three individual top rudos, this next week is a top rudo trio vs three individual top tecnicos.

Averno’s a real threat to dethroning Titan, but it’s a great showcase match for Titan. I think he retains, but I’m not at all certain about it.

If Rush is going on the next NJPW tour, then this is probably his last match here for a couple weeks.

Diamante vs Misterioso is a rematch from Sunday.

Cancerberos aren’t getting along with Arkangel, but never seem to have as many problems with Hooligan, another way in which Hooligan is great.

AAA TV (FRI) 11/09/2012 Gimnasio Miguel Hidalgo de Puebla [Black Terry Jr. (flickr)The Gladiatores]
1) Lolita, Mascarita Dorada, Pimpinela Escarlata b Mini Psicosis, Polvo de Estrellas, Taya Valkyrie
Dorada pinned Psicosis.
2) Cuervo & Fabi Apache b Gran Apache & Mari Apache [AAA MIXED TAG]
Halloween was unable to wrestle due to injury, but did come to ringside to provide a distraction. Maestro de Maestros replaced him, and it was not a title match. Gran Apache used a title belt as a weapon to get the win.
3) Devil Rocker, Machine Rocker, Soul Rocker b Escoria, Espíritu, Ozz
Machine Rocker german suplexed Espiritu for the win.
4) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown b Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Silver King, Toscano
Psycho Circus got the win when Toscano and Silver King had issues. They seemed to be teasing a break up. Psycho Circus were attacked and destroyed post match by the Infierno Rockers, including the returning Uro Rocker.
5) el Hijo del Perro Aguayo & Texano Jr. b Cibernético & El Mesías
Perro & Cibernetico were left bloody. After the rudos won, Joaquin Roldan announced Mesias would defend his title versus Texano. Perro & Cibernetico challenged each other to a hair match. Unclear if that one was accepted, but all their seconds got involved.

Air Date: 11/17

I think what’s going on with Consejo is less a split up and more that Silver King’s involvement with the group will be short lived, but the the concept seems to have lost it’s direction.

Guerra de Titanes so far

  • Mesias (c) vs Texano [AAA HEAVY]
  • probably another Bizarros vs Perros match
  • Psycho Circus vs Infierno Rockers
  • probably something with the Apaches

Thursday in Naucalpan will sort out the rest.
