03/22: Laguna, Monterrey

CMLL

Ovaciones has an article about fans trying to mob the WWE guys as they got into the airport. Also, Juvi’s heading to England and Italy for a bit.

indy (THU) 03/22 Arena Olimpico Laguna de Gomez Palacio [El Siglo de Torreon]
1) Diamante Negro Jr. & Mini Star vs Espacial & Pioloto Negro Jr.
2) Enrique Vera, Piloto Negro, Sexy Piscis vs Ben Hur, Espanto V, La Amenaza
3) Hijo de Anibal vs Blue Demon Jr. [DEMON CRUISER]

Demon’s some cruiserweight championship here. I don’t know the name, and figure it’s just his belt. The article says it’s a world title, says they’ll be extra sure to make it a clean fight tonight, and never says which promotion Demon’s representatives here.

WAGNER (SAT) 04/07 Auditorio Municipal Torreon [El Siglo de Torreon]
1) Dark Angel & Marcela vs Hiroka & Princesa Sujei
2) Silver King vs Hijo del Solitario, Angel Blanco Jr., Texano Jr. [UWA JLH]
3) Dr. Wagner Jr. & Mistico vs Averno & LA Park

This would seem to indicate that Silver King has won, or will win, the UWA Juinor Light Heavyweight Title – we have him last losing it to Diluvio Negro II.

indy (SUN) 03/25 Arena Coliseo Monterrey
1) Erick Snak & Jimmy Navarro vs Marrullero & Rey Aguila
2) Arcangel (Monterrey), Armagedon, Chuy Escobedo Jr. vs Angel Negro, Black Nazi, Zulu
3) Angel del Amor, Corazon Adictor, Sky vs Black Sabath, Ejecutor, Red Flamer
4) Golden Boy, Huracan Ramriez Jr., Ultraman Jr. vs Nygma, Picudo, Silver Cat
5) Konnan Big vs Pancho Tequila, Super Konnan, Konnan King [cage of death]

How many freaking Konnan’s can this promotion have?

AAA (SUN) 03/04 Auditorio Municipal Salvatierra [el Halcon]
1) Money Pack b Dance Boy
2) Crazy Latino & Dragon de Oriente II b Atomico & Toro
3) Alebrije & Cuije b Chucky & Monsther [AAA MASCOT TAG]
4) Brazo de Plata Jr. & El Elegido b Baby Hunter & Mr. Niebla [cage]

El Halcon 88 has interviews and features on Cibernetico, Virus, Black Shadow, Explosivo, and Arkangel. Virus says the Internet is the invention of the White Man (not the wrestler), and not being one, he hasn’t used it much. But he’d like to learn.

Dr. Wagner (Sr.) was inducted into the Zacatecas Hall of Fame. Perro Aguayo went in last year. (Sol de Zacatecas)

El Sol de Tampico says locals Sadico, Peligro, Iron Boy and King Boy have signed with IWRG. They were used as random early match guys early this month.

Hijo de Santo’s coast preservation story has gotten picked up in a number of Mexican papers. Nothing new. If you’re in Phoenix, Santo is wrestling on Friday. Looks like Santo/Super Parka vs Misterio/Psicosis or some similar combination.

A poster on Box Y Lucha talks about making a new mask for Angel Azteca, when he was returning to CMLL from AAA. There was an idea to freshen him up and give him a slightly different look, but they ended up sticking with the original. The mask ended up getting slightly modified, and used by someone else coming in from Promo Azteca who was getting a new gimmick – Ultimo Guerrero.

03/20: Puebla, Neza, Nuevo Leon, Reynosa

Angel Azteca stories: Notimex, El Siglo de Torreon, La Jornada. Yucatan has photos from his last match. Ovaciones has a note as well.

CMLL (MON) 03/19 Arena Puebla [hugo999 @ box y lucha]
1) Forajido & King Jaguar b Ares & Mr. Rafaga
2) Asturiano, Centella de Oro, the Tiger b Fuerza Chicana, Karissma, Toro Bill Jr.
3) Cerebro Negro, Maniacop, Skandalo b Batman, Leono, Tony Rivera
4) Dos Caras Jr., Heavy Metal, Lizmark Jr. b Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila
5) Alex Koslov, Heavy Metal, Rey Bucanero DQ Mascara Ano 2000, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero

Metal replaced Shocker.

CMLL (SUN) 03/18 Arena Neza [La Porra Ruda de Neza]
1) Cosmotron & Stella b Ambar & Boazz
2) Buho I & Buho II DQ Black Danger & Black Heart
3) Angel Negro & Nopton b Chico Che & Seiya
4) Chac-Mol, Leono, Rayo Tapatio ii DQ Emilio Charles Jr., Skandalo, Terrible
5) Black Warrior, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero b Felino, Rayo Tapatio I, Tony Rivera

Chico Che had a neck injury in his match. I’ve finally figured out which one is Black Danger and which one is Black Heart. (The key? A labeled picture. Though I guess I could’ve looked at the “BD” on the boots.) No Ramstein?

CMLL (SUN) 03/18 Gimnasio Nuevo Leon [Mas_Solitario @ el martiente]
1) Mini Damian 666 & Mini Halloween b Mini Olímpico & Último Dragoncito
2) Hiroka & Princesa Sujei b Dark Angel & Lady Apache
3) Tigre Universitario b Diluvio Negro I, La Sombra, Diluvio Negro II
4) Shocker & Silver King b Angel Blanco Jr. & Sangre Azteca
5) Héctor Garza b Super Parka [hair]

The tercera was for some vacant title, which Tigre immediatly revacated because of the screwiness of the win. That sure meant a lot.

indy (SAT) 03/17 Palenque de la Feria, Reynosa
1) Chamaco Ortiz & Rocker Boy b Black Star & Misterio Negro
2) Mascarita Sagrada b Mini Pierroth
3) Corazon de Barrio & Misterioso II b Maniaco & Pentagon Black
4) El Hijo del Santo, Psicodelico Jr., Rayman b Angel Blanco Jr., Hator, Super Parka
5) Mil Mascaras b Venom [mask]

Shocker, Garza, Mascara Ano 2000, and Universo 2000 were pulled from the semimain because of Santo’s involvement. Not sure how people ended up working the undercard. The promoter explained the situation before the show, and Santo backed him up before his match. Venom, in this case, is Javier Sandoval of Yuma, a local wrestler.

Super Luchas #204 has Santo/CMLL
Box Y Lucha #2810 has Parka with a sword and a a Misterio (also Santo and Azteca.)
El Herlado de Tabasco has notes from a radio interview with El Hijo Del Santo. Nothing about CMLL; this must’ve been the one right before the split was announced, because it includes him noting there’s been Misticos, Octagons, Vampiros, and Super Munecos, but none of them have the long lasting star power he does, and he’s said it before. The interview is mostly about the marine ecological work he’s doing. La Frontera talks about much the same.
La Presna has a recap of Rey de Reyes. Not many new details; the titular match was the meain event, and the order of elimination of the tag match went Guapos, Fuerza Aerea, and Mexican Powers.
They also have an interview with Rey about going into the HOF.
El Occidental has a bio of Perro Aguayo.
