No full show results have surfaced, but Volador did beat Prince Devitt in Guadalajara last night. Cheating was involved.
IWRG FILL (TUE) 09/25/2012 Arena Naucalpan [Black Terry Jr. (flickr), The Gladiatores]
1) Mercenario & Príncipe Infernal b Caballero Kid & Rider

3) Blue Monster, Moria, Radical b Alas de Acero, Extreme Boy, Skull Metal

Atomic Star replaced Super Black.
5) Infierno Kid Jr., Kid Medrano, Matrix Jr. b Araña de Plata Jr., Divino Montana, Ojo de Tigre Jr.
Atomic Star replaced Divino Montana during the match when Montana suffered a fractured forearm.
6) Alan Extreme, Centvrión, Comando Negro, Dinamic Black, Eterno, Golden Magic, Imposible, Saruman b Chicano, Dragón Celestial, Eita, Electro Boy, La Cobra, Serpiente de Oro, Sky Ángel, Violencia Jr. [Copa High Power]
FILL 1st Generation vs FILL 2nd Generation. Alan Extreme won for FILL Gen1. Eterno and Chicano feuded.
This was Eita’s last match in Mexico. Tercera Caida and Black Terry Jr. have Eita saying goodbye.
Hijo del Signo retained the Distrio Federal Middleweight title over Oro Azul in San Luis Potosi this Sunday.
Fantasy vs Mercurio for the masks has been signed for two Sundays from now, October 14th, in Arena Mexico. Announcing a non-main event apuesta match this far in advance is unusual for CMLL.
CMLL announced the En Busca de un Idolo tournament, the tournament won by Titan back in June, would start airing on TV this weekend. It started way back in April, so this old footage, but it’s footage which was only uploaded to CMLL’s website and not a single video was viewed by more than 3,000 people. Not many people would’ve seen it, though CMLL’s mentioned Titan as winner plenty of times. The original En Busca de un Idolo press conference mentioned there would be an accompanying show on Cadena3, and the teaser videos for the tournament teased outside the ring interviews. Neither actually happened, but perhaps it’ll be worked into the presentation of this tournament now.
CMLL.com has the wrong TV information on their show. They say Fox Sports, but it’s actually the secondary channel Fox Sports Plus (+) on Saturday at 10pm . If you watch Fox Sports, you’ll get a news show. Show is on 10 pm on Saturday and is only a half hour long, so either one match and some talking or two edited matches.
Prince Devitt talked to Fuego en el Ring about his trip to Mexico, which will wrap up after Friday’s title match with Dragon Rojo. Devitt says Dragon Rojo and Volador (who doesn’t feel bad about losing to in Guadalajara because he’s Volador) are two very different wrestlers with different strengths and weaknesses, and his job is to expose their weaknesses. Insert joke about Dragon Rojo weaknesses right here. Devitt says he hopes to challenge the winner of Ibushi/Low Ki for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight championship in November, December or whenever the promotion wants to do it.
Argenis & Argos discuss how they’re unlikely to actually get along in their Karonte Family vs Foreigner match on the LEGEND show this weekend. (And I’ve finally fixed the lineup; the Karonte team replaces the AAA guys taping the new show instead.) They team with Magnus & Dr. Karonte vs Zumbi (Brazil), Heddi Karoui (France), Dowki (Japan) and Maya Balam (who turns out to be from Guatemala!)
Voxxi has an interview with the director/producer of Tales of Masked Man, the lucha libre documentary airing on PBS stations this Friday.
Ricky Marvin says he’s coming back to Mexico in October (for MXW, not AAA), and it reads like he’s coming back full time in 2013. That would be surprising, he seems to have a pretty solid place in NOAH.
In an unsurprising development, the last announced international all star show in Colombia on 09/29 was canceled. The shows on 09/15 and 09/22 had previously been canceled due to “a new law.”
Rob has highlights of Dos Leyendas 2012
LuchaWorld has Alfredo on the Anniversary show, this week’s IWRG TVC Deportes show, and KrisZ’s news update.

- Atlantis says he and Ultimo Guerrero are going to be doing a reality show (training local wrestlers) in Saltillo. This seems random.
- DJ Spectro looks back at Ringo Mendoza vs Solitario
- Hype for Fuego vs Virus
- El Pulpo hypes the October 6 Arena Lopez Mateos show.
- Titan says he’s defending his title versus Black Metal this Friday in Sinaloa. Haven’t seen a lineup.
Lineups
IWRG (SUN) 09/30/2012 Arena Naucalpan
1) Dragón Celestial & Serpiente de Oro vs Imposible & Infierno Kid Jr.
2) Centvrión, Dinamic Black, Saruman vs Alan Extreme, Black Terry, Temerario Infernal
3) Carta Brava Jr. (IWL), Oficial 911, Oficial Fierro vs Carta Brava Jr. (IWRG), Rayan, Spartan
4) Dr. Cerebro, el Ángel, Hijo de LA Park vs Comando Negro, Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., Oficial AK47
5) Hijo de Pirata Morgan, Máscara Sagrada, Veneno vs Cien Caras Jr., Factor, Hijo de Máscara Año 2000
Second match looks a lot of fun. May have the Carta Bravas on the right side – the one with the original Oficials is listed as “Carta Brava” and the opposite is Carta Brava Jr.
CMLL (TUE) 10/02/2012 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Virgo vs Magnum
2) Esfinge & Metatrón vs Bárbaro Cavernario & Ráfaga
3) Astral, Fantasy, Último Dragoncito vs Demus 3:16, Mercurio, Pierrothito
4) Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Valiente vs Kráneo, Mr. Águila, Olímpico
5) Atlantis, Mistico, Titán vs Averno, Pólvora, Último Guerrero
Someone doesn’t belong in that main event: Averno! That’s his first time facing Mistico. They meet again in Tijuana at the end of the month, so someone’s finally decided to let the mostly highly pushed tecnico in the promotion work with the best rudo in promotion.
Polvora can only be there because they’re either setting up a match with Titan or setting something up with the Invasors.

AAA QPPLC, MXW, DTU, Shocker
Sep 25
XMW (SAT) 09/22/2012 Deportivo Oceania [Black Terry Jr. (photo), Estrellas del Ring, The Gladiatores]
1) Fly Metalik, Fly Warrior, Infierno Kid Jr., Tornado, Yoruba b Aviador, Chico Yeye, Corsario, Metaelon, Mr. Leo
Turned to a ten man tag with Infierno Kid and Chica Yeye added.
2) Saruman b Impulso, Belial, Fulgore, Fly Star, Oscuro, Aviador [XMW JH]
Impulso came in as champ, but Saruman won the title.
3) Dollar & Ojo Diabolica b Demoledor & Lunathor and Big Memo & Demente Extreme
Dollar & Ojo want a shot a Demoledor & Lunathor’s tag titles on the next show.
4) Dark Dragon & Fenix (AAA) b Freelance & Skayde and Ares & Kronos and Astro De Oro & Astro De Plata [XMW TAG] 
Skayde & Durango Kid were champions, but Freelance replaced Skayde and the titles were on the line anyway. Ares replaced Wotan. Astros were eliminated by Skayde/Freelance, who were immediately beat by Team AAA. Dark Dragon gave Ares a top rope Canadian Destroyer onto a light tube.
5) Tóxico DF & X-Fly b Ángel o Demonio, Dance Boy, Ludark Shaitan, Aeroboy, Último Gladiador, Mike Segura
Final two were Toxico and X-Fly. X-Fly landed a moonsault on Toxico for the apparent win, but apparently pinned himself in the process (though no one was much clear on this, only that it was a draw.)
DTU (SUN) 09/23/2012 Unidad Deportiva Fortin de las Flores, Veracruz [Estrellas del Ring]
1) Hades, Halcon Infenral, Infierno Negro vs Angel Negro, Sombra Negra, Vengador
Josaga trainee match
2) Angel Del Futuro, Deveastador, Misterio Blanco Jr., Spider Boy b Desterrado, Jhonky, Sacristan, Slayer Pack
Teams changed around.
3) Lucky Boy & Niño de Ébano b Angel Del Misterio & Extreme Boy and Kaleth & Lanzeloth
the new “Maxima Velocidad” tag team won.
4) Eita b Flamita, Eterno, Dinastía, Principe Halcon, Tribal, Rocky Lobo [DTU ALTO]
Dinastia replaced Hormiga. Eita was a surprise addition announced before the card, in one of his last matches in this trip. Match for vacant Alto Impacto championship, given up by Ciclope to go for the main DTU title. Eita, who beat Flamita to win, will presumably be taking the title to Dragon Gate and returning to Mexico at some point.
5) Araña de Plata Jr., Demente Extreme, Pequeno Cobra, Sexy Star b Black Fire, Crazy Star, Niño Hamburguesa, Paloma Rouse
Demente Extreme replaced Terremoto Negro (in this match, but not in the Masizos – they didn’t want anything to do with him and said they’d determine a new member in December.) Masizos humilated Nino Hamburguesa in (and after?) the match.
6) Paranoiko & Rebelde Punk b Casanova & Perro Mocho Jr.
7) Argos & Semental b Ciclope & X-Fly and Drastik Boy & Pesadilla
Crazy Boy returned to attack Ciclope & X-Fly for messing with Nino Hamburguesa. Argos used the distraction to get in a foul and win.
I assume they’re running a Crazy & Nino Hamburguesa vs the Masizos as Crazy Boy’s return match.
AAA QPPLC (SUN) 09/23/2012 Domo del Mar, Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche [AAA]
1) Fabi Apache & Lolita b Jennifer Blake & Sexy Lady
2) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown b Daga, Joe Lider, Nicho el Millionario
Nicho smacked Lider with a chair to the face to set up loss.
3) Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Texano Jr., Toscano b Jack Evans, LA Park, La Parka
Consejo won via foul
The tryouts advancing to the finals are Rey Maya, Demoledor, New Fire Jr., Full Back Jr., Centenario and Forajido. All have appeared on lineups in Tampico. The trainers were El Apache, Fabi Apache and Brazo, and judges were La Parka Jr., Psycho Clown, and Octagon.
Consejo and Psycho Circus had a title match the same day elsewhere in Campeche, but no results have turned up.
Shocker says he was pulled from last week’s show due to an injury. It must be that tricky knee again.
CMLL hypes tonight’s Arena Mexico show as a big test for Titan, as he must go thru Mephisto in the main event. Semimain is Pesta Negra vs Stuka, Sagrado, and La Mascara. Volador and Devitt meet in a non-title singles match In Guadalajara.
CMLL’s changed Friday lineup – but only changing “Nino de Acero” to “Acero”. Maybe he’s a man now? I don’t want to think too much about that.
Rob has video of Rayo Tapatios vs Fugaz & Enemigo Publico from 2000
Bill has highlights of LEGEND’s Lucha Fanfest/Haybusa tribute show.
Links
- Luchas 2000 has Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. vs Dr. Wagner and Perros vs Cibernetico.
- SuperLuchas #481 has a lot of stuff on the corner. Inside, there’s about Psicosis II wrestling in Nashville (the group American Gigolo is helping out now), and interviews with Alex Koslov (who says he’d come back to Mexico for visits but never full time) and Rocky Romero (who says the fans should cheer for his team at the LEGEND show this weekend, rather than have the Psycho Circus.
- Pancho Cachondo lost his hair to Principe Arandu in Tijuana.
- Asturiano says the CMLL boydbuilding contest is November 29th.
- Titan wants to thank Gran Cochisse for training him, is surprised and thrilled about his progress, and notes he has a hard week ahead of him.
- SuperLuchas has a bio of El Faraon.
- DJ Spectro looks back at Solitario.
- Lucha libre is now on Bolivian TV. I don’t think I get this channel!
Lineups
AAA (SAT) 09/29/2012 Estadio Revolución, Torreón, Coahuila
1) Máscarita Divina & Octagoncito vs Mini Charly Manson & Mini Histeria
2) Fabi Apache, Lolita, Pimpinela Escarlata vs Mari Apache, Polvo de Estrellas, Taya Valkyrie
3) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown vs El Elegido, Silver King Jr., Súper Fly
4) Joe Lider & Zorro vs Halloween & Psicosis
5) LA Park & La Parka vs el Hijo del Perro Aguayo & Konnan
Lineup itself is no big news – it’s nice to know Super Fly still wrestles (as does Dizzy this week), but it’s more the overall schedule. AAA has a taping in Naucalpan on Friday which won’t start until 9, then a lot of those guys travel (bus!) out to Torreon, then they all have to be back in Mexico City for a 6pm start time on what’s supposed to be the debut of an important new show. That’s a rough weekend.
CMLL (MON) 10/01/2012 Arena Puebla
1) Dinámikoo & Tigre Rojo Jr. vs Ares & Policeman
2) Hombre Bala Jr., Stigma, Super Halcon Jr. vs Apocalipsis, Artillero, Súper Comando
3) Ángel Azteca Jr., Starman, Triton vs Arkángel de la Muerte, Hooligan, Skándalo
4) Ángel de Oro, Rey Cometa, Stuka Jr. vs Namajague, Shigeo Okumura, Taichi
5) Virus vs Fuego [CMLL SL]
Virus is champ
6) La Máscara, Máscara Dorada, Mistico vs Black Warrior, Dragón Rojo Jr., Rey Escorpión
Virus going for the third (known) defense. This is how you know it’s been a long time since he’s defended the belt: last win was over Dragon Lee. Virus isn’t repeating that result any time soon.
Cometa’s unmasked debut here. Tercera is Angel Azteca Jr.’s return or (more likely) a fill in.
DLF (THU) 10/04/2012 Bar F Bolko
1) Smaker vs Bárbaro Cavernario [OCCIDENTE MIDDLE]
Smaker is champion
First title defense comes on the Dantes Lucha Factory monthly bar show.

3) Kempo Dragon & Relampago (Sinola) b Mario Mora & Terremoto King Jr. [PC TAG]
Relampago’s team are champs and kept the titles. Terremoto turned on Mora. Guapito, the ex-AAA mascot, was accompanying the champs.
4) Stuka Jr. & Titán b Pólvora & Vangelis
5) Mistico & Rush b Euforia & Mephisto
Tecnicos took 2/3 to win.
Looked full. Not a big building.
CMLL (SUN) 09/23/2012 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [El Occidental (4), Fuego en el Ring]
1) Sádico & Thunder Boy b Azteca de Oro & Javier Cruz Jr.
Javier Cruz’s results have gotten a lot worse since Javier Cruz stopped wrestling here…
2) El Divino & Virgo b Demonio Maya & Magnum
3) In Memoriam b Esfinge
In Memoriam got small revenge by beating the man who took his mask.
4) Metatrón & Sagrado b Exterminador & Maléfico
Tecnicos took 1/3, Sagrado pinned Malefico for the deciding pin.
5) Euforia & Mephisto b Rush & Titán
Euforia got away with a foul on Titan to set up a singles match next week.
The opener from Sunday’s IWRG show was Saruman & Serpiente de Oro b Epidemia & Infierno Kid – straight falls for the tecnicos, credited to Saruman.
CMLL announced Toma Tonga will arrive in Mexico on 10/10, so his first match will probably be 10/12 (Friday.) They do not specify if he’s a rudo or tecnico. I think they’re hinting rudo, but may be reading too much in to it.
Rush, in an an interview with Fuego en el Ring, says he loved having the people hate him after his match on the Anniversary show. Rush looked very unhappy on TV. Rush is very upset with people who say he used an illegal move to win, because he’s used the same move to beat Yoshihashi, win titles, and win in Japan. Yoshihashi complained about the move being illegal then too (and they really shouldn’t have had Rush win that way if they didn’t want him to be booed, which I choose to believe is a sign of where things are headed.) Rush also takes credit for running Texano off to AAA. He didn’t want to face Rush in a hair match, you see. Rush also says he’s heading to Japan soon; there’s a heavyweight tag team tournament in November where he could be involved.
QPPLC has their video recap of the Monterrey tryouts from last month. I did not know the Monterrey Gemelos are actually from Queretaro. The second tryouts took place this past weekend in Campeche, but finalists names have not surfaced. (We need a luchalibreencampeche.com!)

5) Diamante, Hijo del Fantasma, Stuka Jr. vs Namajague, Shigeo Okumura, Taichi
6) Rey Bucanero, Tiger, Volador Jr. vs Blue Panther, La Máscara, Valiente
Neither of the two feuds from last week are followed up this week. They may be saving them for 10/07.
That lightning match looks fantastic.
Artillero & Super Comando seem to be slightly moving up on cards if only because the newer guys are forcing them up.

CMLL (SUN) 09/23/2012 Arena Coliseo [CMLL on Terra]
1) Apocalipsis & Inquisidor b Camaleón & Freesbe
Rudos took 1/3, Apocalipsis pinning Camaleon for the deciding pin.
2) Cancerbero, Hooligan, Súper Comando b Höruz, Leono, Metálico
Super Comando replaced Nosferatu. Rudos took 2/3. Hooligan Crash on Leono and Cancerbero top rope inverted silla on Horuz.
3) Demus 3:16, Mercurio, Pierrothito b Aereo, Fantasy, Shockercito
Rudos took 1/3. Pierrorthito beat Astral and Mercurio snuck in a foul on Fantasy again. More mask ripping. Mercurio and Fatansy agreed to their mask match, which seemed set for next week.
4) Fuego b Sangre Azteca [lightning]
Fuego won in 8:10 when Sangre Azteca did a top rope splash on to Fuego’s knees.
5) Diamante, Hijo del Fantasma, Super Porky b Ephesto, Morphosis, Negro Casas
Tecnicos took 1/3. Morphosis and Negro Casas had problems leading to the finish, but it didn’t seem to be going anywhere. Negro had an equally random face off with Porky after the match.
6) Diamante Azul, Marco Corleone, Prince Devitt DQ Rey Bucanero, Terrible, Volador Jr.
Tecnicos took 2/3, Volador blatantly fouling Devitt, then making belt motions.
Fantasy & Mercurio did microphone challenges/agreements, so I think they’re set for next week. Volador just made hand motions and didn’t get the microphone, so I assume they’re waiting until after Dragon Rojo’s match on Friday. 10/07 is the first Sunday of the week, the usual Fan Appreciation show in Arena Mexico, which would make sense for one or both matches.
The Terra feed, outside of one switching error late, was perfectly fine this week. It took couple months, but they got it figured out.
IWRG (SUN) 09/23/2012 Arena Naucalpan [AYM Sports]

Alan Extreme replaced Eita. Tecnicos took 1/3 when Carta Brava IWL ran in and attacked Carta Brava IWRG (right in front of the ref, who did nothing.) This looked like a very good match.
3) Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro b Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro, Trauma II
Oficials took 2/3, AK47 submitting Trauma II.
4) Cien Caras Jr., Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., Súper Nova b Freyser, Hijo de LA Park, Veneno
Rudos took 2/3, Cien Caras sneaking a foul on Veneno.
5) Máscara Año 2000 Jr. & Oficial Factor b Hijo de Pirata Morgan & Trauma I [seeding]
Everyone attacked Pirata Morgan, but he made a comeback and pinned Trauma I with a front cracker. Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. beat Pirata with a northern lights suplex.
6) Trauma I b Hijo de Pirata Morgan [loser advances]
Trauma I submitted Pirata with a kneebar.
7) Máscara Año 2000 Jr. b Oficial Factor [loser advances]
Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. won with a backcracker.
8) Oficial Factor b Hijo de Pirata Morgan [Rey de Reyes, IWRG JUNIORS]
Oficial Factor’s mask was on the line as well. Factor ripped up Pirata’s mask to shreds (his face was very visible.) Pirata went for revenge, but pulled Factor’s mask off. That should’ve been a DQ, but they stalled, then Pirata held Factor down and put his mask back on. After the ref took some blows, Factor pinned Morgan with a powerbomb and feet on the ropes.
This was the debut show on AYM Sports. While AYM listed the show starting at 6:30, it really started a few minutes before 7 and ran until around 9:45 (45 minutes over the listed time.) The opener took place while the announcers were talking. The crew is basically the same group which did the IWRG show on Teleformula (except for Aldo, who worked for that network; I assume the replacement guy works for this network.) The show also included backstage interviews. The first one had a missed cue, but they were smoother the rest of the show.
I did live results for the first show. Do not expect that to be an every week thing. Though, given the history of IWRG shows not on TVC Deportes and shows on AULL in general.
I was watching as I was doing other things, but I thought the first two matches were good. They were working as if there was a brand new audience watching. I don’t think anyone really watched Tinieblas promotion, or the AULL shows, or the Revolution Free Style shows when they’ve been on this same network, but maybe live will be a difference.
Main event had only been announced as Rey de Reyes title, but both belts ended up on the line. No mention of who might be Factor’s dad.
AAA posted the Samurai del Sol, Fenix, Joe Lider vs Nicho, Daga, Dark Dragon match from the Lucha Libre expo. That would’ve only aired on the regional show, except at least our usual channel did not get the regional show this week. It’s nice AAA put it up.
AAA’s TV also mentioned they’ll be taping 10/12 in Tlahulilpan. That’ll be the first post Heroes Inmortales show.
LyC announced today their show was moving to 3:30 pm on Sundays. I didn’t see until many hours until after it aired, and the usual 5-7 show was on anyway, but I guess that was the highlight/music video show.
La Copa’s weekend lucha column says the Mexico State lucha commission threatened on “social media” to stop the IWL show for endangering wrestlers and fans with their extreme matches. The Mexico State lucha commission is on Facebook? (This could’ve just been someone passing on word of what they might do. And it doesn’t appear they actually did anything, as always.)
Black Terry has photos from the XMW show this Saturday. There’s video from the matches on his YouTube channel.
Rob has Rey Cometa’s first interview on AAA TV, Black Warrior destroying Toscano with a tope, the first ever La Mistica, and highlights of 09/04/12 CMLL.
LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news updates and the 09/15/12 AAA recap.

Lucha Libre in Japan
09/22 NOAH: Ikuto Hidaka [O] & Daichi Hashimoto b Super Crazy [X] & Ricky Marvin [G+ Cup]
This result sent Hidaka/Hashimoto to the final, where they lost to Taiji Ishimori & Atsushi Kotoge. Ishimori & Kotoge will get a shot at Crazy & Marvin’s GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Titles on 10/08, which appears to be Crazy’s last big match before returning home.
09/23 REINA X WORLD: Leon b Silueta, taking falls 1/3 of a three fall match. Okumura was in the crowd for the show. Okumura has seemed to work as CMLL office representative with NJPW. I’d guess that was happening here.
No CMLL participation on NJPW’s PPV today, but Tama Tonga mentioned in interviews that he’d be coming to Mexico next month. Tama, one of King Haku’s sons, wrestles more like Jimmy Snuka than his father. He really should be in as a tecnico and would do well in that role.
