Violento Jack & Drastick Boy beat Makabre & Tony Rodriguez in the main event of DTU’s stop in Arena Roberto Paz. Sunday, Joven Maravilla & Maremoto Jr. took Juventud Rebelde & Perro Callejero II’s hair in Irapuato.

Dinamic Black beat Guerrero WMC in their mask match on Saturday. Sagrado got into a fight with the Wagners after their match.

Saturday’s Leyendas Inmortales show pushed the Heavy Metal/Mascara Ano 2000 feud.

Alberto and Mesias were announced for the 01/06 Puerto Rico show.

AAA has a sponsored show at Gimnasio Juan de la Barrera on 12/18.

Vince Russo says this week’s Lucha Underground had it’s biggest audience this week. There’s no one who’s less accurate about television ratings than Vince Russo, but it sure sounds good. (And, again, Lucha Underground’s biggest ever viewership would’ve happened on a Saturday, though he could mean the El Rey number.)

RobViper has a music video of 08/12 & 08/19/14 CMLL.

BxB Fly has music videos of 09/30/14 Guadalajara and 10/05/14 Coliseo.

Lineup

IWRG (WED) 12/17/2014 Arena Naucalpan
1) Vampiro Metálico vs Atomic Star
2) Galaxy & Sky Ángel vs Araña de Plata & Hip Hop Man
3) Imposible © vs Metaleón [IWRG IC Light]
Imposible 7th defense
4) Canis Lupus © vs Eterno [IWRG IC WELTER]
Canis 1st defense, against usual partner Eterno.
5) Apolo Estrada Jr., Avisman, El Hijo del Diablo © vs Chicano, Danny Casas, X-Fly [EdM Trios]
Gringos 6th defense

Imposible/Metaleon should be good, Canis Lupus/Eterno will probably end up a brawl, but I have no idea how that main event is going to go.

CMLL (FRI) 12/19/2014 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) El Tapatío & Explosivo vs Relampago & Thunder Boy
2) Dr. Frezzer & Virgo vs El Chakal & Furia Nazi
3) Leo & Omar Brunetti vs Évola & Ráfaga
4) Gallo, Hombre Bala Jr., Súper Halcón Jr. vs Kamaitachi, Maléfico, Okumura
5) Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Super Porky vs Ephesto, Kráneo, Mephisto

With an extra week to prepare, the Friday night shows have actual main event wrestlers. Or what passes for main event wrestlers in CMLL at the moment. CMLL’s roster is deep enough that they should have enough for two quality main events every Friday – it’s kind of what they’re trying to do on Tuesdays. It’s going to be tricker on those rare occasions someone in Tijuana uses CMLL wrestlers.

The Okumura/Gallo feud will not die. For some reason.

Dragon Rojo Jr. replaces Mascara Dorada on the start of Saturday Coliseo shows. Those show start at 7:30pm local, so people going to them will be wandering out into a bad neighborhood around 10pm at night. Cheap tickets though, gives you more reason not to bring much money.

CMLL (SUN) 12/21/2014 Arena México
1) Molotov & Robin vs Akuma & Inquisidor
Molotov’s first appeareance since August 26
2) Hombre Bala Jr., Starman, Súper Halcón Jr. vs Hijo del Signo, Metálico, Nitro
3) Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Pegasso vs Boby Zavala, Puma, Tiger
4) Fuego vs Pólvora [lightning]
5) Blue Panther, Rey Cometa, Stuka Jr. vs Ephesto, Hombre sin Nombre, Vangellys
6) Felino, Mr. Niebla, Thunder vs Máscara Dorada, Valiente, Volador Jr.

No sign of any program here during the holiday season (The Cholo/Ramstein vs Star Jr./Soberano Jr. one seems permanently moved to Tuesdays.) At least the tercera and fourth should be good.

One thought to “Thunder/Marco, DTU tour, Dinamic Black mask win”

  1. Funny how the “general market” fans monitor ratings on El Rey while people who follow Lucha know that the UMAS ratings are probably a better indicator of the popularity of LU.

    I was thinking, if LU was on Galavision, it would have been preempted for Teleton. Maybe when all sides agreed, they decided that there could be no interruptions of episodes, and Univision had to commit to UMAS instead of Galavision?
