IWRG, Puebla, Mexico (everryone retains)

IWRG (SUN) 07/12 Arena Naucalpan [the Gladiatores]
1) Blasfemia b Imperial
2) Chico Che, Goleador, Jack b Epidemia, Heavy Boy, Keshin Black
3) Judas el Traidor b Rigo
4) Avisman, Black Terry, Dr. Cerebro b Mike Segura, Trauma I, Trauma II
5) Negro Navarro & Ricky Cruzz b El Alebrije & Veneno

The main event was IWRG (Navarro & Cruz) vs Super X (Alebrije & Veneno). Alebrije – the only tecnico in Super X at the moment – tried to get along with Veneno but failed. Navarro & Cruzz had less problems, since they both are pretty much tecnicos at this point, and so took advantage and won. Alebrije vowed to continue being professional, not that helped here.

Avisman snuck in a foul on Trauma II (the lightweight champ.) Suicida replaced Freelance.

Judas el Traidor won in straight falls. In the first one, Judas used a chain on Rigo without the ref seeing it, busting Rigo opened. Rigo grabbed the chain and hit Judas with it, but of course the referee saw that one. In the second, Rigo took Judas out with a dive, crawled in at 17, and started to celebrate. Judas snuck in just before count and pulled Rigo into a caverneria – and it actually worked!

Goleador hurt his knee, but his team still won. Whenever Goleador gets hurt, they really should pause the match, have four guys load him up on a stretcher, and carry him off. When he becomes a rudo, he should pop off the stretcher halfway thru, perfectly fine.

CMLL (MON) 07/13 Arena Puebla [ESTO]
4) Hector Garza, Hijo del Fantasma, La Mascara b Naito, Ultimo Guerrero, Yujiro
5) Mephisto b Mistico [NWA WELTER]

Notimex has Mephsito retaining the CMLL Welterweight Championship. That’ll come as a surprise to Negro Casas. In Universal, Mephisto makes the usual Mistico mask match challenge.

CMLL (TUE) 07/14 Arena Mexico [NotiMex, Record]
2) Pequeno Nitro, Pequeno Violencia, Pequeno Warrior b Bam Bam, Bracito de Oro, Electrico
3) Arkangel de la Muerte, Shigeo Okumura, Vangelis b Angel Azteca Jr., Angel de Oro, Angel de Plata
4) Atlantis, Felino, Negro Casas b La Sombra, Stuka Jr., Volador Jr.
5) Hector Garza, Hijo del Fantasma, La Mascara b Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto [CMLL TRIOS]

Rudos took the first, tecnicos the second, and Hijo del Fantasma pinned Averno for the win. Fantasma challenged Averno for his own title shot after the match.

ESTO says CMLL will announce the cage match participants on Thursday. They guess Hector Garza, Yujiro, Naito, Toscano, Black Warrior, Shocker, Mistico, Sagrado, Volador Jr., Sombra, all of Peste Negra, all of Hijo del Avernos, and all of Guerreros del ring. I’m thinking it won’t be a 20 man cage match.

  1. I loved Rob’s LLL video with 99 red balloons in German. It was funny seeing Cuije, Chuky, and Alebrije, with that 80’s classic playing.

  4. TVC’s inability to correctly list what is airing finally works to my advantage. Requiem at 5:00 apparently means Puebla at 6:00. Opener wasn’t as good as normal (only used to set up Policeman vs Centella). Segunda is airing now, so that should mean no semimain.

  5. Hmmm… I’m confused. Check out cmll.com’s photos of the mini’s match from last night. Something doesn’t add up, right?

    Now that I think about it… nothing adds up except the photos of the opener.

  6. @Rob: They got the opener wrong too. It says “TRUENO y BENGALA fue tejiendo la victoria para llevar hacia el tapiz a CHOLO y RAMSTEIN.” But in the pictures it’s Semental & Zayco vs Trueno & Starman.

  7. @Calabcd44: Oh my bad. Still… those photos aren’t even from last week. How do you manage to upload photos of a show from… (checks) … 3 months ago?

  8. Someone put the photos up from Tuesday the 14th, and got really unlucky. Between this and the Mephisto title thing, CMLL people need to be clearer labeling things.

  9. @thecubsfan: More importantly – iffy taste in music? Are you refering to the DTU vid in particular or do you doubt the greatness of Fall Out Boy, New Found Glory, Andrew W.K., Offspring and A Day To Remember?

    Bullet For My Valentine is fantastic, BTW. Just wait till I use the remix of ‘No Easy Way Out’ from Rocky. You’ll come around.

  10. @Rob: Only thing i can guess is either CMLL forgot to upload photos from Tuesday’s show, or the person who uploads pictures on their website had a brain-fart and uploaded an old Tuesday show instead of yesterday’s

  11. @Rob: It really wasn’t the DTU music, that was just the easy opportunity to make the joke. The one you posted recently with alternating speed metal and emo vocals, that one made me wonder if YouTube was limiting your song choices and you were out of all the good ones.

  12. Either you missed or I missed you mentioning the PdM show in Soli, it seems they could be finding it’s way after all, doing a show here at noon and in Mty in the evening is the formula used 20something years ago.

    Pretty weird that all of the sudden, pdm, AAA and CMLL want to run a dead city on a weekly basis.
