The Crash (SAT) 11/26/2016 Auditorio de Tijuana, Tijuana, Baja California [+LuchaTV]
1) Black Danger, Douglas James, Último Maldito b Arkángel Divino, Ely Everfly, Mirage
2) Black Boy, Oráculo, Próximo b Aero Boy, Drastik Boy, Jinzo
turned into a trios match with Oraculo (Florida) and Drastick Boy added.
3) Sexy Dulce b Keira [The CRASH WOMEN]
Vacant title. Lots of interference spots with the seconds.
4) Jack Evans, Máscarita Dorada, Willie Mack b Bestia 666, Black Tauro (Elite), Demus 3:16
Jack Evans was the surprise tecnico.
5) Flamita © b Extreme Tiger [The CRASH CRUISER]
Extreme Tiger hurt his shoulder early, and tried to continue the match after a a few minute break. He was still obviously hurt and the commission shut the match down.
6) Jeff Hardy, Rey Fénix (LU), Rey Mysterio Jr. b Jeff Cobb, Nicho el Millionario, Teddy Hart

I saw the last half of this show, you can see the whole show still on their website; there’s one camera person who wasn’t into moving much, so set your expectations lower than you might otherwise. The fourth match looked good and it sounded like the second match was good. Tiger/Flamita wasn’t much due to Tiger’s injury. Main event probably won’t hold up after the fact but definitely entertained the crowd. Teddy Hart and Jeff Hardy both acted strange, but when do they not? The building appeared to be sold out or close to it, better than the prior show, and Jeff & Rey were the two huge stars to this crew. (Nicho is also more over here than anywhere else.)

LLB (SAT) 11/26/2016 Arena Lopez Mateos [Black Terry Jr. (Flickr), R de Rudo]
1) Bracito De Plata, Felinito, Lunatik Xtreme, Tritoncito b Agulita Solitaria, Macizito, Panterita, Súper Pinochito
2) Ojo De Halcón b Ram El Carnero, Dragón Bane
3) Freelance b Demente Extreme, Makabre, Eterno, Brian Villa, Mike Segura, Draego, Willy Banderas, Toxin Boy, Fresero Jr., Fly Star
Fresero Jr. replaced Atomic Star.
4) Atm, Carta Brava Jr. (IWL), Fantasma de la Ópera b Arez, Belial, Impulso
Cerebro Negro was supposed to be on Fantasma’s side, and a TBA with the Indys. Neither appeared so they did a trios match.
5) Ángel o Demonio & Ovett b Apolo Estrada Jr. & Halloween and Cíclope & Paranoiko
Apolo Estrada Jr. replaced X-Fly. Paraoniko betrayed Ciclope.
6) LA Park b Masada (Texas) L.A. Park vs Masada | BOOM | 26-11-16 (hardcore) (posted by TVLuchaMundial)

I previewed a bunch of shows and forgot about this time. The main event looked suitably violent and so did many of the other matches.

A Lucha Libre Boom show scheduled for 12/14 in San Luis Potosi was canceled; the speculation is the venue rented out the building to someone else instead.

CMLL (SAT) 11/26/2016 Arena Coliseo [CMLL]
1) Bengala & Leono b Apocalipsis & Inquisidor
2) La Jarochita, Princesa Sugehit, Skadi b La Comandante, La Seductora, Metálica
tecnicas took 1/3
3) Fuego, Guerrero Maya Jr., The Panther b Bobby Z, Forastero, Sansón
Tecnicos took 2/3.
4) Dragón Rojo Jr., Hechicero, Pólvora b Blue Panther, Stuka Jr., Titán
Rudos took 1/3.
5) Diamante Azul, Máximo Sexy, Volador Jr. b Gran Guerrero, Shocker, Terrible

A normal Saturday show. Maya & Panther teamed up, it never occurred to me that they might have set up an Arena Coliseo Tag Title defense – and they didn’t, so I guess I was OK not to notice.

CMLL (SUN) 11/27/2016 Arena México
1) Robin & Sensei b Camorra & Cholo
tecnicos took 1/3.
2) Hijo del Signo, Metálico, Nitro b Magia Blanca, Oro Jr., Stigma
rudos took 1/3
3) Ángel de Oro, Drone, Guerrero Maya Jr. b Sangre Azteca, Skándalo, Virus
Tecnicos took 2/3.
4) Dragón Rojo Jr., Kráneo, Pólvora b Carístico, Diamante Azul, Stuka Jr.
Rudos took 1/3.
5) Ephesto, La Máscara, Mephisto DQ Marco Corleone, Valiente, Volador Jr.
Rudos took 2/3, the last when Mascara faked a foul.

I’m alright with them setting up another La Mascara/Volador singles match as long as it’s on the show I don’t have to watch. (Though, as much as I don’t want to see them, Volador singles matches are the kind of things they should be putting on VOD.) Caristico losing in a meaningless second match is so weird.

DTU announced Kevin & Jimmy will face Gallego & Mr. Condor in a hair match on their 12/15 DTU iPPV. That’s one of the matches set up on the Arena Aficion show earlier this month, and now we know it’ll be a match where just one person loses their hair three people lose their hair!. The iPPV plug does mention the show will air live, which will be exciting and hopefully not fraught with problems. On a DTU show tonight, Ovett beat DTU Consgrado champion Sharlie Manson in a multiman match, and challenged for a title match on 12/15 as well. DTU has a show on the 2nd in Oaxaca, and I’m guessing the full lineup is revealed after that.

In Guadalajara, Rey Star lost his mask to Kal-El in a ruleta de la Muerte. Rey Star is Juan Carlos Torres, 16 years a wrestler.

AIW posted a message saying Chicago’s Gringo Loco was hospitalized Saturday night. The story is he appeared to have a heart attack after wrestling on a show Saturday night, but is said to be stable. I hope everything turns out OK.

La Parka gives his financial advice: do not spend all the money in your paycheck, pay more than the minimum on your credit card, and invest wisely.

LuchaWorld has the latest Lucha Report.

UNAM is looking for a graduate student for a lucha libre history project. I’m not sponsoring this but I probably would.

Lineups

KDR (SAT) 12/03/2016 Arena Azteca Budokan, Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl, Estado de México
1) Astrolux vs Black Metal
2) Danger & Rocker vs Alfa & Samy Madrid
3) Arceus, Baby Star, Solaris vs Deirio, Lunatik Fly, Lunatik Xtreme
4) La Jarochita & La Magnifica vs Muñeca De Plata & Zeuxis
5) Ciclón Black, Príncipe Diamante, Veneno vs Criss Boy, Samoano, Toxin
6) Magia Blanca vs Flyer, Centvrión, Mr. Leo [#1 Contenders, ELITE WELTER]

Winner of the main event fourway faces Bandido at some point. That’d be fun, but the match itself should be fun even if nothing else happens. It does seem like Elite’s letting the champions do whatever they want with their belts in between the seasons, which isn’t seen rarely with the AAA & CMLL belts.

We’re kind of in a fuzzy area about what lineups and results I should include – this show might end up getting recorded and someday turning up on Powerbomb.TV. It also might not, or might not show up for a while. I’ve backed away from covering stuff on this part of the blog that’s not at least watchable or interesting, because there just doesn’t seem to any point to it, but now there’s plenty of stuff I can get your hopes up for maybe no reason.
