CMLL results, Lucha Underground notes, Mexicans losing in Japan

CMLL (TUE) 03/24/2015 Arena México [CMLL]
1) El Rebelde & Espanto Jr. b Metatrón & Molotov
2) La Comandante, La Seductora, Tiffany b Goya Kong, La Vaquerita, Skadi
3) Arkángel de la Muerte, Okumura, Virus b Hombre Bala Jr., Pegasso, Súper Halcón Jr.
4) Misterioso Jr. b The Panther [lightning]  (posted by VideosOficialesCMLL)
Blue Panther Jr. was listed as replacing his brother, but The Panther ended up in the match. Panther slipped on a springboard and was beaten by Gori Specail.
5) Blue Panther, Tritón, Valiente b Boby Zavala, Hechicero, Luciferno
Valiente replaced Super Porky on Monday.
6) Bárbaro Cavernario, Felino, Negro Casas b Dragon Lee, La Sombra, Stuka Jr.
Dragon Lee replaced Dragon Rojo (still injured). Casas cheated to win.

CMLL would have a better case about how great they are about taking care of their wrestlers if they weren’t knowingly advertising injured Dragon Rojo in matches all week. (Also, the commissions would have better cases about how serious they are about things if they weren’t letting it go.)

Arena Coliseo Guadalajara had a moment of applause for Perro Aguayo Jr.

Rey Bucanero said Perro Aguayo Jr.’s death was an accident, but better ring conditions and medical help is needed.

El Hijo del Santo, who got himself into a dumb controversy when he posted a photo of himself and Perro Sr. from the wake and then was offended people were critical of him for taking the photo for the purely altruistic reason of “I needed a photo for my column” (that’s actually his defense), has also been on news shows complaining about promoters (CMLL) forcing wrestlers to work thru injuries and not protecting luchadors himself. I can only assume this means Santo is never wrestling again, by his own reasoning.

Apolo Valdes writes a column about changes that should be made: referees should be trained in first aid, there should always be a doctor at ringside (no matter how many other people are injured) and there should be better regulation.

Lucha Underground

Tonight’s the 20th show, the midpoint of the first season. The matches scheduled

  • Alberto el Patron (c) vs Texano Jr. for the AAA Heavyweight Championship in a bull rope match
  • Angélico vs Son of Havoc
  • Cage vs Prince Puma © for the Lucha Underground Championship in a Boyle Heights Street Fight

They’ve posted a commercial for the show, as well as Dario making a new signing: Hernandez. Tonight’s the debut of the new Lucha Underground Championship; it’s a decided improvement.

Other News

IWRG has no Wednesday show this week, and this IWRG article says they only Sunday ones these two weeks.

Black Terry Jr. has highlights of Hechicero & Belial vs Okumura & Centviron vs Skyade & Fly Star vs Valiente & Fly Warrior, which he said was one of the best matches he’s seen this year.

RobViper has a music video of 11/28 & 12/05 CMLL.

LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update.

Segunda Caida stumbles upon Sangre Chicana vs Satanico.

Rudy Valentino was remembered in San Luis Potosi.

The Xalapa show included a mixed trios match where a woman (Karina Duval) teamed with her son (Vengadorcito Radiactivo). Can’t think of that happening much if it at all.

SuperLuchas looks back at past March 24th shows.

Kamaitachi still wants to be the best Japanese luchador ever in Mexico.

Terra has an bio of Marcela.

Lucha Libre in Japan

03/24 Dragon Gate: Akira Towaza b Flamita [BRAVE GATE]
Flamita loses in challenging for the title he never lost.

03/25 REINA:
Narumiya b Amapola (c) [CMLL REINA INTL] – title change
Syuri (c) b Silueta [CMLL WOMEN]

With Zeuxis out hurt, that title change means CMLL’s roster has zero active champions. (Correction: Silueta is still REINA Junior Champion.) Syuri’s coming to Mexico soon to fix that. Amapola and Silueta are still in Japan thru the 04/05 REINA show (and Silueta is working an 04/04 Ice Ribbon show.)
