Lucha Memes (SUN) 09/07/2014 Coliseo Coacalco, Coacalco, Estado de México [@terceracaida, Black Terry Jr. (Flickr), MedioTiempo]
1) Freelance & Mike Segura b Fly Star & Toxin Boy
2) Extreme Tiger b Aeroboy
Aeroboy was hurt on a dive
3) Black Terry & Negro Navarro b Carisma & Zoom Driver
4) Arez b Keira
5) Trauma I b Trauma II, Magnifico, Herodes Jr., Obscuro, Klivan, Fly Warrior, La Migala, Fulgor I, Astro Rey Jr., Fulgor II, Hormiga, Psico Kid, Radge, Taboo, Karma,Magnifico [royal rumble]
17 listed in TerceraCaida’s report (not the 20). First indy appearance of Tabu post AAA.
6) Dragon Lee II & Star Jr. b Belial & Impulso
Indystrucitbles wanted a rematch and team Tight T-Shirt accepted.
7) Silueta b Marcela, Zeuxis, Dark Angel
Silueta beat Marcela!

I’m jealous this show happened this weekend instead of next. Reviews of the show were strong. I think, outside of the missing 3 people in the rumble (which may just have been omitted; Apolo says there was 20), everyone on the ChilangaMask/Lucha Meme card actually made the show. Things don’t work out that well for them that often.

My hunch is Herodes’ problem in CMLL was less with the matches itself, but a “only so many hours in a day” conflict between training for CMLL and whatever else he has going on and CMLL had to go but we’ll continue to see him on indy shows like this for the time being. (In other words, it’s more a problem of working in CMLL as an undercard guy not being a living wage alone .) This is your opening to fantasy book his inevitable IWRG feud.

CMLL (SUN) 09/07/2014 Arena Coliseo
1) Magnus & Soberano Jr. b Apocalipsis & Inquisidor Magnus & Soberano Jr. vs Apocalipsis & Inquisidor, on DailyMotion (posted by thecubsfan)
Tecnicos took 2/3.
2) Cancerbero, Nitro, Raziel b Black Panther, Sensei, Starman Black Panther, Sensei, Starman vs Cancerbero, Nitro, Raziel, on DailyMotion (posted by thecubsfan)
Rudos – who don’t seem to have problems with each other any more, took falls 1/3.
3) Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Tritón DQ Okumura, Skándalo, Virus Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Triton vs Okumura, Skandalo, Virus, on DailyMotion (posted by thecubsfan)
straight falls, Virus yanking Delta’s mask for the DQ in the second after Delta had beat him in the first with a reinera.
4) Astral b Pequeño Olímpico © [CMLL MINI] Pequeno Olipico u00a9 vs Astral for the CMLL World Mini Estrellas Championship, on DailyMotion (posted by thecubsfan)
Astral took falls one and three to win the championship. He’s the 13th champion. Pequeno Olimpico’s falls on his fifth title defense, his three and a half year reign ending.
5) Kráneo, Pólvora, Shocker b Blue Panther, Super Porky, Titán Blue Panther, Super Porky, Titan vs Kraneo, Polvora, Shocker, on DailyMotion (posted by thecubsfan)
Rudos took 2/3.
6) Ephesto, Euforia, Mephisto b Diamante Azul, Máscara Dorada, Valiente Diamante Azul, Mascara Dorada, Valiente vs Ephesto, Euforia, Mephisto, on DailyMotion (posted by thecubsfan)
Rudos took 1/3, Azul and Euforia continuing to feud and Euforia submitting Azul in the end. Euforia challenged Azul to a title match next week (in Arena Mexico.)

Didn’t see the show; think we’re in a month stretch where I’m not going to see the show on Terra, though I might catch it live once. Most of the recent shows have been missible – there hasn’t been a lot of good match making and the Azul/Euforia match isn’t going to change that.

Astral had a lot of family/friends there. I guess they had a good feeling and/or though they could push him over the top if they all came.

CMLL (SUN) 09/07/2014 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [@acogdl]
1) Índigo b Furia Nazi
2) Acertijo b El Divino
3) Brillante & Virgo DQ Demonio Maya & Demonio Rojo
Tecnicos took 1/3, the last when Maya fouled Brillante.
4) Mr. Águila & Sádico b Omar Brunetti & Smaker
Rudos took 1/3. Aguila cheated to beat Omar.
5) Maléfico b Exterminador [hair]
Malefico took 2/3 to win the hair match over his ex-ally.
6) Cavernario & Terrible b Dragón Rojo Jr. & Gallo and Ángel de Oro & Stuka Jr. and Pierroth & Sagrado
Gallo & Dragon Rojo were out first via foul (unclear by who), then Pierroth got DQed for unmasking Angel de Oro. Cavernario & Terrible beat Oro & Stuka clean for the win.

Show was heavy with FRAM sponsorship. I wonder if they’ve convinced Agulia to lose to Omar in the end.
