***DragonMania VIII***
1) Leonidas & Vengador Radioactivo b Krator Jr. & Raider
2) Bastet, La Comandante, Mima Shimoda b Baby Star, Dalis la Caribeña, Marcela
3) Gran Guerrero b Violento Jack and Aero Boy and Magnus and Relámpago (Coahuila) and Hijo del Signo and Epidemia and Lucifer and Laberinto and Robin (CMLL) and Kato Kung Lee and Comando Negro and Fusion [Dragon Scramble]
Gran Guerrero replaced Fusion
4) Mascara Dorada II & Shockercito b Eléctrico & Voladorcito Jr.
No details on the new Dorada, but would appear to be out of Voladorcito’s troupe.
5) Super Ciudadano b El Chacal
Sponsor match – Ciudadano is sponsor and both were people not wrestling under their usual names. Chacal looks like Akuma, not sure about Ciudadano.
6) Douki & Hanaoka b Celestik I & Celestik II [mask]
Japoneses del Mal put up their hair. Douki pinned Celestik I for the win. The Celestiks are Antonio & Alberto Garcia, 20 & 26 years old. Alberto is presumably the older one.
7) Brazo de Plata, Brazo de Platino, Máximo b Loco Max, Magno, Otoko Sakari
Comedy match. Otoko wrestles in a thong. His partners turned on him after the match, with the Brazos making the save.
8) Atlantis, Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Último Dragón b Mike Knox, Ohara, Último Guerrero
Mike Knox is from TNA, replacing SUWA. Ohara & Dragon feuded. Tecnicos took 2/3, Ohara DQed for pulling Dragon’s mask in the second and Dragon beat him in the third.

 

Ultimo Dragon usually teases a mask match with Ultimo Guerrero on these shows. Ultimo Dragon did not tease a mask match with Ultimo Guerrero, or at least it was downplayed enough not to be mentioned. Ultimo Guerrero has a mask match with Atlantis before the next DragonMania. Make of all that what you will.

Mike Knox is a wrestler from TNA who appeared on this show, was not treated like a big deal, did not get a win to build up to a return match that’s not happening. The day later, TripleMania. Definitely different thought processes going on.

Celestiks came out of nowhere, won the Toryumon tag team tournament last year, lost their masks this year. I’m sure there’s a good story here (and that maybe they’re just not the Celestiks), but I have no idea what the story is.

Building looks very full. Violento Jack posted his backstage pass, which looks nice.

CMLL (MON) 06/17/2013 Arena Puebla [El Popular (cover), Poblanerias]
1) Saurón & Zayco b Génesis & Milenium
Zayco suplexed Millenium to set up the win.
2) Leono, Robin, Tigre Rojo Jr. b Cholo, Espíritu Maligno, Inquisidor
Leono submitted Inquisidor.
3) Fuego, Sagrado, Stigma b Cancerbero, Raziel, Virus
Straight falls.
4) Kráneo, Morphosis, Psicosis b Blue Panther, Delta, Hijo del Fantasma
Kraneo flattened Blue Panther for the win.
5) Máscara Dorada, Mistico, Valiente DQ Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
Rudos took the first, La Mistica on Averno in the second, rudos pulled Dorada’s mask in the third. Tecnicos wanted a rematch.

Cinco Radio had the wrong main event finish last night. It happens and they’re still setting up a rematch either way.

If you purchased the TripleMania iPPV, you should have received an email this afternoon stating refunds are being processed for the show. The email says you should expect to have your money back in 48 hours. This is all from uStream; I suspect part of the reason AAA is being clear on blaming uStream for the problem is they’ll also be looking for a refund for whatever it cost to bring a uStream tech to their show to broadcast it. I hope they get it, if it’s theirs to get.

AAA did upload TripleMania in four parts on their YouTube channel. It took a lot longer than AAA were expecting; the first part of the show didn’t go up until very late in the evening, and the following parts went live very early Tuesday. They did post a video apologizing for the lateness. It sounds like file size is an issue, which is why they ended up breaking it in parts and probably why it’s in Standard Definition.  I wonder if AAA also might have run into music rights issues with YouTube as well; everyone runs into those. AAA’s internet staff was working from Saturday until the time those videos got up this morning and could use a long nap.

CMLL has a show today that’s not available on a stream in any fashion. So weird. Mascara Dorada vs Averno is the main event, where Dorada’s newly won NWA Welterweight Championship is on the line (but not Averno’s national welterweight title.) Dorada should win, but it more should be an outstanding match. Main event is a sort of rematch from Sunday’s trios title match, with Titan in for Dorada and Gran Guerrero in for Niebla Roja. Over in Guadalajara, Bam Bam and Mercurio have a hair match where I don’t really have an idea who’s going to win, but my hunch is Mercurio. IWRG has a FILL trainee show in Naucalpan, and IWL is running in Arena Aficion.

Okumura declared Bushiroad a traitor – “he betrayed his people, he betrayed his country, and he betrayed his flag.” Okumura says he’s not at all focused on his upcoming lightning match with Hombre Bala because he and the rest of the Fiebre Amarilla are so upset with Bushiroad siding with the Mexicans. Okumura demands an apology, and warns another NJPW luchador will soon be on the way to actually work with the rudos.

A report on Friday’s AAA spot show in Queretaro mentions how Juvi worked the rudo side.  It seems like the usual alternate reality of AAA spots shows – they don’t match up with TV, they just figure out who’s assigned to the show and divvy up sides. This time, however, Juvi explained he was on the rudo side because AAA hasn’t supported him while he’s been injured. Juvi’s been missing from AAA TV shows since Rey de Reyes and an injury would explain it. Andy Wu, one of two AJPW trainees sent to Mexico months ago to train with Pantera who were never mentioned again, is listed as working in the segunda. I’d assumed they long ago went back home.

Fenix, Faby Apache and Mary Apache will appear on DTU 07/05 Arena Queretaro. They’re also promising two extreme matches on every show of the three show tour.

IWRG hasn’t updated with Sunday results. I’ll put together what I have from the TV show tomorrow. Probably.

LuchaWorld has a KrisZ’s news update.

Lineups

CMLL (SUN) 06/23/2013 Arena Coliseo
1) Bengala & Fresbee vs Cholo & Herodes Jr.
2) Black Metal, Metálico, Molotov vs Bárbaro Cavernario, Disturbio, Hijo del Signo
3) Bushiroad, Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr. vs Namajague, Puma, Shigeo Okumura
4) Diamante vs Boby Zavala [lightning]
5) Diamante Azul, Máscara Dorada, Mistico vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
6) La Máscara, Rush, Titán vs Mr. Águila, Psicosis, Volador Jr.

Black Metal & Barbaro Cavernario from Guadalajara make their DF debut. Metal was paired up with Triton (Metal Blanco = White Metal) and Titan at times when they were all wrestling in GDL and had been mentioned as the next guy to make the jump. It’s taken a while longer. Barbaro has been the frequently victorious young rudo in the building. Perhaps this is foreshadowing to a new Generaction 2013 class?

Aguila and Rush might have a side feud beyond the hair match feud. They should be back in Arena Mexico in two weeks.

Tercera looks great. Semimain is a match that’s been happening a lot suddenly, with Azul in for Valiente. I guess they’re not totally different, they both do monkey flips at times.

CMLL (SUN) 06/23/2013 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Índigo vs Samael
2) El Divino & Virgo vs Acertijo & Joker
3) Esfinge & León Blanco vs Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno
4) Starman vs Gallo, Smaker, Leo, Halcón de Plata, Arkángel de la Muerte, Espectrum, Ráfaga, Maléfico, Olímpico [Copa 54 Anniversario]
5) Atlantis & Valiente vs Gran Guerrero & Último Guerrero

I sure hope Valiente breaks thru and makes it to the main event someday. (I think he’s playing En Busca de un Idolo for a title match with Polvora or Dragon Rojo, which is not the worst prize. Or maybe he gets Mascara Dorada and we all lose our minds.)

Next week appears to be the big Anniversary show with the mask match, but the cibernetico should mean something.

There’s an AULL Samael. This is probably not that guy. Joker is another new name. Acertijo is Riddler, so that’s a kind of Batman villains team.

A lot of these same luchadors will be working another show in Guadalajara the same today, to honor Americo Rocca. The semimain has Los Xaviers (Valaguez, Cruz, Rocca) teaming up one more time with son Javier Cruz Jr.

Comedy match. Otoko wrestles in a thong. His partners turned on him after the match, with the Brazos making the save.

06/15-16 lucha videos

Disclaimers: The SLP web show didn’t record either of the two times it was supposed to; I think there was an issue with the feed. The Monday morning Noches de Coliseo recording didn’t go thru because IWRG aired so late; I think I’m missing a Veneno/Zumbi comedy tag match. Terra from Sunday is complete, but it is of the lowest quality feed. Only LAS knows why they skipped airing a match on IWRG.

There are two Puebla shows below; last week’s Monday one didn’t air until Friday. Mexicanal did air a (SLP) La Lucha Se Le Hace show; it seemed to be an older introduction to the promotion (highlights included matches from last year and the previous building.) It’s also 100x better video/audio quality than the stream.

I am posting TripleMania. That was not the plan, but since AAA is uploading it for free viewing, there’s no reason for me not do as well. The Perro/Cibernetico match will go up later today. Sendspace is being very slow.

If you watch Nakamura/Rush from these files, please let me know how edited it turned out to be. I haven’t seen the TV version – I’m still going thru last week’s TV, all these matches are overwhelming for me as they are for you – and I’m thinking I could try splicing together what I have of the feed and the TV version if they cut it up too bad. I don’t know if they did.
