Day: February 21, 2012

NdF (SUN) 02/19/2012 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [LyC (3), LyC (4), LyC (5), RFC]
1) Principe Leon b Xtreme Boy
2) Black Poison & Rudy Butire b Angel Solitario & Danger Boy
3) Gardeina Azteca, Rosa Salvaje, Sexy Maciel b Androide, Hijo Del Mongol Chino, Maravilloso Jr.
4) Angel Dorado Jr., Dralion, Turbina NC Gemelo Muerte I, Gemelo Muerte II, Genocida
MMA-er Alejandro Baez ran in and attacked members of both teams, particularly amateur trained wrestlers Genocida and Dralion. He used famous MMA moves like a F5 and horizontal suplex.
5) Hijo del Ninja & Rey Apostol b Genocida & Hijo Del Mongol Chino
Straight falls. Special match taped for a Hijo del Ninja movie. Kids hit the ring to celerbate with him after the match.
6) Big Neurosis, Golden Boy, Tun-Tun b Mago Miadow, Rico Rodriguez, Simbolo
Rico Rodriguez got annoyed with his celebrity Magician partner and tripped him up, leading to Neurosis pin. Simbolo also turned on Miadow after the match, reunited with Neurosis. Batman de Pura Gente Bien and Hijo del Ninja tried to make the save.

Sunday’s XMW show wasn’t too notable in the results – the usual many indecipherable title matches plus Necro Butcher & Low Rider. There was one more interesting name: Magnus, wrestling as part of team XMW vs team International. That’s now where you’d normally see a CMLL student. Magnus also randomly mentioned Perros del Mal last night; I agreed with this response.

CMLL.com has a video of Blue Panther in pain from a left knee injury. No sign he’s actually out of Dos Leyendas, but this might hurt him in that match. Things always seem to go wrong for Blue Panther just before a big match.

Marisela Pena, adopting an appeasement strategy which would make Neville Chamberlain proud, met with El Consejo and seems to have given them a match on Rey de Reyes. This strategy of giving invaders matches has not seemed to work with TNA, Perros del Mal, with La Socidedad, with the Foreign Legion, and with LLL, but AAA keeps on trying. In the fictional universe of AAA, they are not the mostly successful owners, constantly under siege (and mostly losing) and having their best wrestlers all turn on them. They didn’t even really recruit Cibernetico or Wagner or Jack to their side, those guys were either turned on or their rivals just happened to go to the other side and they decided they might as well help AAA.

If Pena/Roldan are UK, then I think that means Texano is Germany – used to hang out with a nazi – Toscano is Italy and Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. is Japan (in that we don’t know why they’re involved here.) Anyway, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. figures all the Naucalpan fans are going to cheer for him on Thursday, since it’s his arena.

Angel Blanco Jr. says Santo doesn’t want to do the three way with Hijo del Solitario because he’s scared. People think Santo is invincible because he beats Frankenstein and mummies and vampires, but now he has to deal with real fighters and doesn’t want do it. Blanco and Solitario already plan on cutting Santo’s mask in two and touring the world with the halves. Hijo del Solitario repeated his claim that Santo buys his mask wins outside the ring and is nothing more than a marketing creation.

Tonight’s Arena Mexico show is headlined by TRT vs Reyes del Atlantida. IWRG has a FILL show tonight.

LuFisto and Joe Lider, who had a hardcore match against each other 7 years ago, ran into each other at the X-Project shows. LuFisto is not doing hardcore matches, but Lider seems to have talked her into a rematch. Only Joe Lider would talk a woman into hitting him with a light tube.

IWL, when not busy posting all caps messages, is selling DVDs of the IWL Versus DTU show for 50 pesos ($4 USD). No mention of international shipping, just a phone number to call. DTU seems to be putting this show up on YouTube.

There’s Averno. Polvora suddenly seems to be a main eventer (or, Polvora suddenly getting every Dragon Rojo match.)

LyC (SUN) 02/26/2012 Arena Coliseo Monterrey

5) Marco Corleone, Máximo, Rush vs Rey Bucanero, Terrible, Tiger

TRT vs Bufete del Amor, now in non-title matches.

This appears to be Dalis’ first title shot ever. She somehow did not get a shot during Amapola’s reign of terror.

The story of the semimain is Euforia & Virus turned on Loco Max last night in the tercera. Instead of the Loco vs Centella feud they seemed to be setting up, this now looks like a Puebla (Pegasso!) vs Cancerbero feud.
