03/25: IWRG, Dos Leyenda, FSE

On Friday’s Figure Four Daily, Vampiro said he and CMLL talked things thru, and he expects to back in the promotion in June. He plans on working a limited schedule.

That Vampiro interview was quite something. It’s worth $7.95 for it – heck, it almost was worth $79.95.

IWRG

IWRG (THU) 03/22 Arena Naucalpan
1) Comando Gama b Aguila Oriental
2) King Boy & Puma King b Sadico & Supremo Jr.
3) Black Terry, Fantasma de la Ópera, Peligro b Ave Fenix, Freelance, Kid Tiger
4) Kraneo, Pierroth Jr., Veneno b Astro Boy, Kai, Leono
5) Alex Koslov, El Hijo del Solitario, Negro Navarro DQ Bestia Salvaje, Damián 666, Masada

Yamato was supposed to be in the semimain, but Veneno gave him a martiente before the match, and that was the end of Yamato. See the neck brace over there. I’m guessing this guy’s AJPW trainee Hiroshi Mihara and Kai is Atsushi Sakai, but I may have that backwards.

In the main Damian fouled Koslov, but Solitario pulled the ref and counted himself, which got Damian to stop covering. Solitario then faked a foul for the win.

Ovaciones says Dos Leyenda will start rotating around each year, honoring Luttertoh and another random legend. This would be entirely sensible if we didn’t know the actual inspiration for this change.

Ovaciones also says tickets for that show will be up any second now on ticketmaster – looking right now, they’re still not.

Accion wasn’t on at it’s normal time this week, and the next replay isn’t till 4 AM. I’ll add it tomorrow if I remember.

CMLL on FSE has:
03/18 Coliseo: Alex Koslov, La Mascara, Volador Jr. vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
03/18 Coliseo: Leono vs Mogur [hair]

You know, you haven’t really seen the Burger King till you’ve seen him playing three card monty in Spanish.

03/14: Puebla, Coliseo, IWRG, Monterrey, Torreon, Santo

CMLL (MON) 03/12 Arena Puebla [hugo999]
1) Blue Center & Super Star b Mafia & Mr. Rafaga
2) Centella de Oro, SWAT, the Tiger DQ Ares, Fuerza Chicana, Siki Osama
3) Fabian el Gitano, Stuka Jr., Valiente b Arkangel, Cerebro Negro, Kraken
4) Felino, Heavy Metal, Valiente b Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila
5) Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr., Marco Corelone DQ Olimpico, Terrible, Universo 2000

Valiente filled in for Ogun in the semifinal. Terrible replaced Black Warrior in the main event.

CMLL (TUE) 03/13 Arena Coliseo
1) Rayo Tapatio I & Rayo Tapatio II b Artillero & Super Comando
2) Amapola, La Nazi, Rosa Negra b India Sioux, Lady Apache, Marcela
3) Goto, Ohara, Okumura b Brillante, Valiente, Virus
4) Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila b Felino, La Mascara, Maximo
5) Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto b Blue Panther, Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero

Someone liked the idea of outside teammate help to win tonight – it happened in the women’s match (Amapola pinning Apache with some help from La Nazi) and it happened in the main event (Averno getting the win with help from Mephisto.)

IWRG (SUN) 03/11 Arena Naucalpan
1) Aguila Oriental b Sasaki
2) Macho II & Vampiro Metálico b Antaris & Ave Fenix
3) Trauma I, Trauma II, Vampiro Metalico b Kai, Kid Tiger, Yamato
4) Bestia Salvaje, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Pierroth Jr. b El Dandy, Esfinge, Suicida
5) Cerebro Negro DQ Black Terry [hair]

Pierroth Jr. interfered in the main event, costing fellow rudo Black Terry his hair. That’s gotta suck. Bestia fouled Dandy to pick up the win in the semifinal. Bestia wants a title match, Dandy wants a hair match. Traumas cheated to beat Kid Tiger in the tercera.

indy (TUE) 03/13 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [rfc]
0) Mascara Negra & Mr. Cuervo b Black Thunder & Reggaeton
1) Borrico b Angel Negro
2) Hollywood b Black Nazi
3) Golden Boy b Ejecutor
4) Humberto Garza Jr. b Al Barone
5) Hijo de Anibal & Konan Big DQ Hijo del Solitario & Pancho Tequila

Anibal faked a foul from Solitario.

indy (SUN) 03/18 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [rfc]
1) Borrico & Tequilita vs Burrito & Mini Burrito
2) La Bella & La Bestia vs La Bandida & Loco Tormenta
3) Angel Negro, Hollywood, Silver Star vs Al Barone, Black Nazi, La Sombra
4) Nygma, Picudo, Silver Cat vs Black Dragon, Huracan Ramirez Jr., Ultraman Jr.
5) Axel vs Hijo de Espanto [FILL MIDDLE]
6) Konnan Big, Laro, Pancho Tequilla vs Casanova, Golden Boy, Humberto Garza Jr.

Konnan Big appears to be calling himself Super Konnan now. Hijo de Esapnto was the champ before Axxel (and before he and Konnan Big passed it back and forth), so this is his rematch for the belt.

indy (THU) 03/15 Deportivo Lee Roy
1) Sepultura & Shuriken vs Black Bull & Terrorista
2) Dark Saint & Rey Tempestad vs Chakor & Vengador
3) Cirucs & Payasito vs Latino Jr. & Muerte Negra

2) Breack Demon vs Mensajero, Fleachdor Justiciero, Pantera Silva, Creazy Star, Bat Boy, Tigre del Ring, Coyote Azul [trofeo Arena Coliseo 2007]
3) Coyote Azul Jr. & Lagarto vs Asesino Maldito & Tromba

This sounds like a new promotion taking over the building, though I thought people were promoting with the JUNIORS name in SLP already. Maybe that’s some place else.

Santo wants to open Santo stores in Tokyo and LA in 2007. He tells the story of negotating the contract with Cartoon Network – he wore his mask, and he asked if they had negotated in person with the Powerpuff Girls. Santo notes that he’s different.

EHUI writes about a show that’ll have lucha libre and kickboxing matches.

Zocalo writes about a Monclova female wrestler named Lilit. There are no other local women wrestlers, so she’s wrestling with the men.

New magazine Lucha Libre had Huracan Ramirez on issue #1 and Ultimo Guerrero on #2.

While in India to hype WWE shows, it looks like Rey Mysterio outsourced his gimmick. (Thanks to mikeinformer).

Ask A Mexican explains lucha masks:

My theory? Masks are cool. As great as El Santo — Mexico’s most famous wrestler — was in the ring, he became an icon mostly because of a luminous silver mask that accompanied him through dozens of films and even into the afterlife. Masks allow wearers to bend societal norms and participate in activities that proper Mexicans would frown upon, like lucha libre or hatching a revolution in the Chiapan jungles. Without those masks, the wearer is just another Mexican — and who wants to be that?

KrisZ’s AAA results get their own post in a bit.

01/15: Coliseo, Neza, Merida, Warner

CMLL (SUN) 01/14 Arena Coliseo Results [cmll, ova]
1) Bracito de Oro, Mini Olimpico b Mini Mr. Aguila, Sombrita
2) Flash, Sensei, Super Nova b Artillero, Super Comando, Zayco
3) Dr. X, Hooligan, Mr. Mexico b Mascara Purpura, Tony Rivera, Virus
4) Lizmark, Mictlan, Satanico DQ Emilio Charles Jr., Okumura, Pierroth
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Mistico, Volador Jr. b Averno, Mephisto, Universo 2000

I think you know the main event finish. Semimain saw the first two falls go to count outs, and Pierroth fake a foul in the third fall but get caught. Please don’t let that match make TV, thanks.

On the same day, Averno beat Mistico in Arena Neza to retain the CMLL Middleweight Championship. They’ve been pushing Los Rayo Tapatios strong as a local tag team there since CMLL took it back over (again.)

Reyes del Ring (SUN) 01/14 Poliforum Zamna de Merida Results [el halcon]
1) Estrella de Fuego, Misterio Maya b Fuego Infernal, Haragan
2) Halcon Rojo, Halcon Rojo Jr., Lobo Salvaje b Amenaza Roja, Angelito Vengador, Cobra Man
3) El Fantasma, Linda Warrior b El Hijo de Hanibal, Linda Star
4) Villano III, Villano IV b Groon XXX, Hijo del Solitario
5) Hijo del Santo, Latin Lover b Blue Demon Jr., Shocker

Villano III and Hijo del Solitario agreed to a hair/mask match, but we’ll see if it happens.

Warner and CMLL are working together to produce some CMLL cartoons and comics, feature guys like Los Perros, Mistico, and the Guerreros. They’ll start appearing in March, and they say you’ll be able to buy them over the internet. (Esto)

Mundo De Hoy has a preview of the CMLL VIP show this Saturday and an interview with the promoters. They’ve got the familiar story of wanting to be luchadores, training and their parents not liking the idea, but the unfamiliar twist of actually listening to their parents.
