FMLL Results (Day 2, and parts of 1 & 3)

Day 1

Results are a couple posts down.

In talk about Friday’s FMLL show, Mistico says fans don’t really want to see him in cage matches, because he can’t do all his moves and such, but it’s not like they can take down the cage. Perhaps they can stop booking him in cage matches. SuperLuchas has detailed results, explaining the cage match was elimination rules, which makes one wonder why they didn’t just do a cibernetico. This is not an official CMLL title, so we’ll never hear about it again unless FMLL has Mistico defend it next year.

DJ Spectro also has a recap of the show.

Rayo de Jalisco Sr., Gran Cochisse, and Salvador Lutteroth (in memory) were honored before the show, and lesser honors were giving to Satanico and Panther.

7) El Hijo del Solitario, Juventud Guerrera, Super Crazy b Head Hunter I, Mr. Águila, Oriental

Honored on this day: Ray Mendoza (accepted by Villano II), Pepe Mendieta (accepted by Rambo), Oro (accepted by his father Calavera II), Zandokan (by his sons) and Solitario (by his son.)

One of the Pirates fouled one of the Traumas.

Enfermero Jr. did show up to take part in the mask matches, but Hijo del Solar came to the ring before the match, pointing out his father had just defeated Enfermero Jr. for his mask, so he can’t be putting on the line here. The commission agreed – and put Oro II in the match. Fantasma de la Opera didn’t like teaming with a tecnico but still won.

Before the final match, (a) Coco Rojo turned up, evidently the one who lost to Super Muneco a couple years back. He endorsed Coco Verde and Cocolores as the original people in the gimmick, responding directly to what the other Cocolores had said earlier. This is doubtful, but whatever, it’s Payasos. Coco Rojo ended up putting his hair on the line too. Coco Azul & Coco Amarillo (who knows) ran in too late to help their friend, but still beat down the tecnicos so this is probably a set up to a match for next year or something.

Coco Verde was announced as a Isreal Ramirez, a Mexico City 18 year vet, but did not seem as one. Cocolores was announced as 7 year wrestler Julio Cesar Gonzalez from Pachuca. This was billed as Super Muneco’s 100 mask win.

Day 3

FMLL AAA (SUN) 12/13 Plaza Liberacion, Guadalajara [Informador, Fuego en el Ring]
4) Billy Boy L Aerostar and Sexy Star and Estrellita [hair]
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. & Silver King b El Mesías & La Parka Jr.

Honored on this day: Antonio Pena (Joaquin Roldan), Angel Blanco (Jr. and widow), Eddie Guerrero (Javier Llanes), and Black Gordman (alive! hooray!)

Informador suggests Fabi was not just replaced by Estrellita, but moved to the second match. Fuego’s pictures don’t show her, but they don’t have written results yet. DJ Spectro’s short blurb on the show sides with Fuego. Aerostar took Billy’s hair, despite Hijo de Tirantes helping out.

Main event was changed to a straight match, instead of the parajes increidble. Wagner got away with a foul on Mesias.

01/21 Congress Theater Lineup

FMLL

This Sunday, there’s a lucha libre card at the Congress Theatre. I’ve mentioned it before, but in case you’re still unaware

(ongoing thread about it on CPW.)

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to go to a show, so I was actually considering this. The main event is scary – Rayo and Mil are two guys firmly entrenched the ‘living on their reps’ stage of their career. I’m sure there will be plenty of people there who grew up watching them and seeing them in person will take them back to those warm happy memories, but I didn’t, so I’m just left with a bad match. Even still, the undercard could be fun…

…except, as I called when I first mentioned this show, the Bears are playing the same day. It’s not the same time, but the Bears game is pretty much the day. If they win, I want to stick around my TV to find out who they’re playing, and if they lose, I will hate the world and not want to deal with the pain of getting to the Congress Theatre from where I live.

Why aren’t they running on Saturday? They’re running on Friday in LA, so there’s either a show FMLL isn’t mentioning on their site, or they’re just paying Mil and Rayo and the others to hang out for a day. I’m not sure which is better.

I am entertained by them not bothering to announce matches for the undercard. Since they’re no better than half right and don’t mean anything, that’s probably for the best. It’s still too bad they haven’t figured how to announce a start time – that poster lists 6 (bell time?) and AdC’s site goes with 5 (doors open?)

If you check it on Sunday, let me know how it goes.
