Valinete & UG feuded, and UG unmasked Valiente for the DQ after taking Valiente’s finish.

They’re setting up another Valiente & UG match, which means Valiente is probably going to resume losing NWA Middleweight championship shots around 12/12. (Or they could just make it non-title.)

Like last night’s Arena Puebla show, last week’s Tuesday show had a title match so they’re resetting back to square zero. It’d be more entertaining if there were more angles going on so everything didn’t reset every few weeks, but I’m uncertain if CMLL’s concerned about being entertaining.

CMLL’s preview promotes the show as Pierroth against his sons, which befuddled me this morning because Pierroth isn’t listed on the poster. It appears Pierroth has taken Mephisto’s place on the show. CMLL’s switched Pierroth out of matches with his sons before, so it wouldn’t be too big of a surprise if another change was made. As it is now, Mistico, Dragon Lee, and Angel de Oro face Pierroth, Vangellys and Shocker in something that doesn’t seem like a great mix of people. The semimain is Blue Panther, Rey Cometa and Guerrero Maya versus Ripper, Luciferno and Ephesto (who’d make the most sense to move up instead of Pierroth, though this match would suffer.)

The rest of the show is the usual mix of random matches. The show opens up with Bengala & Leono taking on Apocalispis & Grako. Astral returns to CMLL action, teaming with Electrico & Ultimo Dragoncito versus Mercurio, Pequeno Olimpico and Pequeno Nitro, which might be the best match on the night. Fuego faces Arkangel in a lightning match; Fuego should win, but recent Tuesday booking suggests he won’t. The fourth match is Star Jr., Oro Jr., and Pegasso versus Sagrado, Olimpico, and Misterioso Jr.

Estrellita says CMLL will have an announcement around noon today at the Senate about health. This sounds like a health care plan, an idea which was suggested back in September when the senate passed the annual day of lucha (and this past week for older luchadors.)

Guadalajara has the bigger show tonight, with Negro Casas vs Caristico in the main event.

GALLI says Gringo Loco is doing good and in good spirits.

AAA posted matches from 1995 for the first time: Los Power Raiders vs Heavy Metal, Picudo, Angel Mortal, Marabunta, and Mr. Condor in an elimination match and Rey Mysterio, Octagon, La Parka vs Psicosis, Pentagon and Fuerza Guerrera. I’ve only seen the first one so far; it’s more of an exhibition for the Raiders than a great match, but it’s still neat to see the Raiders (and not on a third generation VHS.)

LigerFever has a translation of the second part of Konnan’s podcast with Juventud Guerrera, who feels Ultimo Guerrero ripped him off.

LuchaWorld has the latest Lucha Report and this week’s Poster-Mania.

Pentagon Jr. was interviewed by the Miami Herald.

Triton won a GALLI title, which makes it sound like he’s going back, but then this same title was bouncing around in Mexico for years.

Wrestling with Words writes about Hechicero vs Virus.

CMLL’s Diosas del Ring did their own Mannequin Challenge.

LLF has a Diana la Cazadora vs Nina Monet hair match on 12/02. Monte won a singles match between them this past week.

The Social Topcast writes about Trauma I versus Canis Lupus.

Lineups

IWRG (SUN) 12/04/2016 Arena Naucalpan
1) Black Dragón & Dragón Fly vs Araña de Plata & Demonio Infernal
2) Leo, Mike, Rafy, Teelo vs Dowki, Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Príncipe Orión [lumberjack strap]
3) Imposible vs Relámpago
4) Chicano, Danny Casas, Veneno vs Dr. Cerebro, Pirata Morgan, Pirata Morgan Jr.
5) Canis Lupus & Killer Jr. vs Golden Magic & Pantera I

First IWRG show in two weeks due to not running mid week and Chairo running last Sunday. (No mid week show this week either; maybe we won’t get another one until next year.) IWRG seems to be building towards Pantera I/Killer Jr. as a big year end match, which is one of the least exciting and most random matches to make. It’s a far way from Trauma I/Canis Lupus. Imposible & Relampago may have a better match (both here and the title match they’re building towards), though Relampago doesn’t have a history of great matches.

The bottom of the poster mentions fans can vote for the mejor luchador of 2016 (in person), with the award going out on the annual year end party. It’ll be on 12/21 this year.

CMLL (MON) 12/05/2016 Arena Puebla
1) Arkalis, Asturiano, Millenium vs El Malayo, Espíritu Maligno, King Jaguar
2) Black Tiger, Flyer, Tigre Rojo Jr. vs El Cuatrero, Policeman, Sansón
3) Guerrero Maya Jr., Rey Cometa, Stuka Jr. vs Disturbio, Hechicero, Virus
4) Ángel de Oro, Johnny Idol, Marco Corleone vs Euforia, Sam Adonis, Shocker
5) Mistico, Valiente, Volador Jr. vs Gran Guerrero, La Máscara, Último Guerrero

Rematch in the main event. Tercera looks promising. Can the excitement of the Dinamitas over ride the lethargy of Policeman and Black Tiger?

One thought to “Valiente/UG fued in Puebla, Pierroth vs his sons in Arena Mexico?”

  1. Incase anyone cares. The matches posted by AAA from 1995 are from a 5/31/1995 tv taping that aired on 7/9/1995. The Power Raiders matches didn’t air on the broadcast because it was a dark match.

    I seriously hope AAA posts more classic matches like this. It would definitely make me check their YouTube channel more often than I usually do.
