Shocker vs Atlantis, Dos Caras, Lucha POP

LEGEND (SAT) 11/19/2011 Arena San Juan Pantitlan [SL440]
1) Danny Boy & Dragon Chino b Memo Arenas & Ray Richard
Dragon Chino replaced Flecha/Skayde. Richard & Danny Boy are feuding.
2) Mohicano I & Mohicano II b Gran Apache & Gran Apache II
Best match of the night. Mochicano I snuck in a foul on Gran Apache II, and the two talked about an apuesta match.
3) Dinámico II, Falcón, Ultraman b Billy Boy, Escoria, Taboo
Dinamico II is Ultrman’s nephew.
4) Aerostar, Argos, Drago (AAA) b Cuchillo, El Engendro, Scorpio Jr.
Argos, who is supposedly hurt, replaced the MIA Laredo Kid. Argos, also hurt, also worked this match. Tecnicos took 1/3, Argos getting the pin on Scorpio. Cuchillo replaced Shu el Guerrero.
5) Dos Caras Sr., Halcon 78, Villano IV NC Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown
Clowns won the first fall, team UWA won the second, Los Perros (Damian, Bestia, Ek Balam) attacked the Clowns, which somehow was ruled a no-contest instead of a DQ. Both teams ran off the Perros.

Don’t get paid if you don’t work.

LUCHA POP (SAT) 11/26/2011 Centro de Espactaculos, Ecatepec [Black Terry Jr. (flickr), Estrellas del Ring, Luchas en Vivo]
1) Angel del Misterio & Arez b Big Mama & Tornado
2) Black Mamba, La Vaquerita, Yuki Star b Angel del Misterio, Keira, Vanely
Despite the loss, Keira will still get One Last Chance at Vaquerita’s title. Black Mamba pinned Angel del Misterio.
3) Zumbi b Tribal
Tribal was Zumbi’s mystery opponent. Zumbi remains undefeated in LUCHA Pop.
4) Lolita DCOR Diana La Cazadora
Keira was Lolita’s second, Vaquerita’s Diana, so of course they got involved with the match and each other. Fans not thrilled with the draw finish, and they made tag challenges.
5) Trauma I b Trauma II, Black Terry, Tritón (IWRG), Judas el Traidor, Belial, Negro Navarro, Terremoto Negro [Torneo POP STAR] 
Not so much brackets after all, just an 8 way elimination match. Order of elimination was Belial, Terremoto Negro, Triton, Judas, and Black Terry, just leaving the three Navarros. Negro beat Trauma II, but Trauma I defeated his dad.

They announced another show here on 12/18.

Segunda Caida already has a review of the main event.

CMLL (SUN) 11/27/2011 Arena Coliseo [CMLL, CMLL Gaceta (4), La Catedral]
1) Apocalipsis & Bronco b Höruz & Leono
Rudos took 2/3.
2) Bobby Zavala, Rayo Tapatío I, Rayo Tapatío II b Hombre Bala Jr., Starman, Super Halcon Jr.
Rudos took 1/3. Rayo Tapatio I pinned Starman for the deciding win.
3) Black Warrior, Hijo del Fantasma, Toscano b Misterioso Jr., Nitro, Vangelis
Nitro replaced Hijo del Signo. Tecnicos took 1/3.
4) Atlantis, Guerrero Maya Jr., Sagrado DQ Shocker, Titán, Triton
The ‘new’ Joven Tapatios made their debuts here. Shocker’s squad got DQed in the first fall for crotching Maya on the post (which seems to have been reclassified as a foul rather recently), then rallied back to the take the second. Shocker fouled Atlantis in the third for the second DQ and the loss. The new unit are clearly rudos against Atlantis’ gang, and it remains to be seen if they’re rudos against everyone else.
5) Ephesto, Mephisto, Volador Jr. b La Máscara, Rush, Super Porky
Rudos took 1/3. In the third, Volador pulled off his shirt – and pulled off his mask in the process! Volador stumbled with his arms stuck in his shirt, trying to get his mask back, and Mascara kicked him out of the ring.

I like to think the Tapatios are now friends with Zavala because he sold out all the secrets of his Gen11 allies. I also like to think this is a vignette that aired on some show I have yet to get to, but will find in about five years. It makes CMLL easier to handle.

Other News

Next weekend is annual Teleton (Mexican telethon for special needs children, a fine idea), which takes over many Mexican (and some US) channels for Friday and Saturday. Early schedules says they are NOT pre-empting AAA & CMLL’s main shows. Looks like the AAA regional broadcast via Guadalajara is still on. Not as sure about any other ones, and this can all change in the next few days.

Rob has highlights of 11/05/11 AAA and a clip of Dark Angel’s fall.

LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s Saturday news report, and his Sunday one and Alfredo on last week’s AAA.
