06/11: Coliseo, VIP, Monterrey, AOL

CMLL (SUN) 06/10 Arena Coliseo [ovaciones, superlucha]
1) Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II b Vaquero & Zayco
2) Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Nitro b Fabián el Gitano, Metálico, Tony Rivera
3) Dark Angel, Diana La Cazdora, Luna Magica DQ Amapola, Poly Star, Princesa Sujei
4) Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone DQ Averno, Mephisto, Sangre Azteca
5) Místico, Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero b Damián 666, Halloween, Misterioso II

Misterioso II logically replaced Mr. Aguila – I don’t know why CMLL thought Aguila could work both this and Cinco Magnificos show – and Sangre fouled Blue Panther in the semimain. That’d be a fun feud, I wonder if Panther is still a middleweight.

VIP (SAT) 06/09 Roots Magic Club [Alvin @ el Martinete]
1) Cerebro Negro & Dr. Cerebro b Skayde & Turbo
2) Nino X, Super Muenco Jr., Super Nino b Black Heart, La Furia, La Mosca
3) Negro Navarro b Mano Negra and Ojo de Tigre I and Black Terry and El Dandy
4) Axxel, Leon Guerrero, VIP Negro b Coco Rojo, El Hijo de Cien Caras, Máscara Año 2000 Jr.
5) Brazo de Platino, Negro Casas, Super Brazo b Il Barone, LA Park, Olímpico

Negro Navarro wins the 1st stage of the maestro tournament VIP is running. Black Terry was the runner up, which earns him another shot in the five man battle on the next show.

AAA (SUN) 06/10 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]
1) Euforia (Monterrey) & Mercurio b Panterita del Ring II & Rey Imagen
2) Mascarita Sagrada, Miss Janeth, Picudo b La Hechicera, Mini Histeria, Mosco de la Merced II
3) Angel & Billy Boy b Alan & Decnnis
4) The Mummy b Orus, Karis, Ramses
5) Charly Manson, El Elegido, Octagón b Antifaz del Norte, Aventurero, Hator

Rudo team fell apart in the main event.

indy (THU) 06/14 Arena Olimpico Laguna de Gomez Palacio [Siglo de Torreon]
1) Cadete de la Atlantida & Scriba Jr. vs Latino Jr. & Zaracatan Jr.
2) Centella Azul Jr. & Tigre Chong vs Moro Jr. & Pequeno Star
3) Angel del Oro & Sexy Libra vs Dulce Paola & Guerrero Inca
4) Sexy Piscis & Trueno vs Espanto V & Piloto Negro

That’s CMLL’s Trueno working the weekly AOL show.

(Box Y Lucha Foro) Danger says it was not him who video taped unmasked luchadores backstage with a cell phone. What he really needs right now is someone else to say it wasn’t him.

Magazine
* LUCHAS 2000 #372 has Espectro Jr. deciding if he’ll put up his mask and Mistico winning the LdP.
* Super Luchas #216 has Mistico winning the LdP. Inside, in the last notes column, the magazine notes that AAA isn’t (and shouldn’t) be happy about lineups being leaked. This includes the TripleMania one, which we’re still not sure of – everyone’s only using the original thread as source. I’m thinking the lineup is what AAA has down on paper, but they might not have all the foreign names confirmed at this point.

El Zocalo de Monclova has an interview with (masked) Mascara Ano 2000 and Universo 2000. Things have never been as good as the first couple years of the 90s when Cien had his mask match with Rayo and Mascara beat Anibal for his mask; it’s never like the old days. If this blog goes 50 years (and it won’t), I vow to just write cranky posts about The Old Times Were Better. Universo says he’s talking to two guys about possibly carrying on his name (it has to be two with this crew) – his daughters have no interest in lucha libre and he wouldn’t let them get in the business anyway.

There was also a press conference in Monclova before the first CMLL show there in some time, but the paper doesn’t appear to have results.

El Sol de Tlaxcala has an interview with indy wrestler Astro Aereo. He says he’s been wrestling for 10 years, trained by Tarahumara and is hoping to break into Arena Puebla.

12/29: Coliseo, Gudalajara, AAA, Tijuana, SLP, Monterrey

CMLL (TUE) 12/26 Arena Coliseo Results
1) Karissma, Sombra de Plata b Carrona, Vaquero
2) Sensei, Starman, Valiente b Artillero, Super Comando, Zayco
3) Apocalipsis, Dr. X, Ramstein b Fabian el Gitano, Leono, Tony Rivera
4) Nitro, Sangre Azteca, Terrible b Danger, Texano Jr., Virus
5) Averno, Mephisto, Olimpico b Heavy Metal, Negro Casas, Sagrado

Odd to see Karissma working tecnico. Carrona is an unmasked guy who can never seem to face the camera when they’re taking a picture. Danger replaced Mictlan – CMLL hasn’t posted anything on his injury. Terrible cheated to help his team win that match. You see how Averno won the main event.

This would be the perfect time of year to run an Arena Coliseo Tag Team Title tournament.

CMLL (TUE) 12/26 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara Results
1) Virgo b Impostor
2) Neon b Flama
3) Antrax b Valentin Mayo
4) Nube Roja b Danger (Guadalajara)
5) Egipcio b Super Maquian
6) El Gallo, Metro II DQ Mascara Magica, Toxico
7) Hijo de Pierroth, Okumura, Pierroth b Rayman, Rey Bucanero, Satanico

In the main event, Rayman had Pierroth pinned, but there was no ref. Someone from the crowd pounded the mat three times, and Rayman assumed that must’ve been the ref. Pierroth fouled him and got the win.

AAA LG (WED) 12/27 Unidad Deportiva Miguel Aleman Valdez Results [El Sol de Bajio]
1) Enigmatica L Polvo de Estrellas and May Flowers and Cinthia Moreno and Rossy Moreno and el Piero [cage, hair]
2) Charly Manson b Zorro [MEX HEAVY]
3) El Elegido, La Parka Jr. b Abismo Negro, Chessman

Before the show, the first match was listed with just the Morenos and the Exoticos, and I was amazed they were actually having a ‘star’ lose their hair at a spot show. Apparently, I’m a mark.

BAJA (MON) 12/25 Auditiro de Tijuana Results [the gladiatores]
1) Phantom, TG Power, Spank b Mascara Negra, Wama, El Galeno
2) King Azteca, Fobia, Pandillero II, Fabuloso Hernandez, Karisma, Cien Caras Jr., Pierroth Jr. b Pandillero I, Tornado Negro [blindfold, sf]
3) Pandillero I DRAW Tornado Negro [blindfold, final]
4) Angel Blanco Jr. b Super Astro [WWA MIDDLE]
5) Rey Misterio Sr., Hijo de Rey Misterio b Super Parka, Nicho
6) Mil Mascaras, Rayman, Shocker DQ Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila

The 2/3 matches were probably just supposed to be one – it was one of an escape elimination match (you pin someone, you’re leave) with everyone wearing blindfolds. The last two guys somehow ended up in a draw. The writer called it ‘the match of the year’, not because it was that good, but because it seemed to go that long. The Blanco/Astro match was good and there were apuesta challenges in the Misterio/Nicho/Parka match.

indy (MON) 01/01 Arena Mexico San Luis Potosi Lineup [Sol de SLP]
1) Sombra del Misterio vs Leopardo [Centro WELTER]
2) Cholo Mayor, Danys Boy, Lagarto vs Tigre del Ring, Mensajero, Creazy Star
3) Sabu Jr., Black Fantasy, Fuerza Maligna vs Super Liger, Goblin, Brujo Cosmico [Centro TRIOS]

indy (SUN) 01/02 Arena Coliseo Monterrey Lineup
1) Burrito vs Corazon Adicito
2) La Kalaka & Nacho Libre vs Ejecutor & Mixteco
3) Golden Boy vs Vudu
4) Mascara Pupura vs The Beast
5) Estrella Dorada Jr. vs Potro Jr.
6) Pancho Tequilla vs Humberto Garza Jr.
7) Dulce Poly vs Bandida [FILL FEMENIL]

The Beast’s manager? La Bella. They’ve been doing a mixed tag feud involving the two women in the main event, but it’s surprising (to me, anyway) that it ends up with the women and not the men in a big match.

This is the odd picture of someone in an Olimpico mask on the main page of Bell South‘s website. It’s a teaser for a Weird Jobs article, but they don’t list “luchador”.
