07/17: Naucalpan, Guadalajara, Puebla, magazines

In today’s Ovaciones, Hijo de Perro Aguayo announced he’ll return to the ring on 08/03. No match is announced, but Perro would enjoy teaming with the Perros against Mistico. That’s sure possible.

Speaking of strange people who want to challenge Mistico, the goofy band which was calling him out before, Loco Solitario, announced they want Mistico to have to sing when he loses. Mistico responded by uping the stakes, exactly as he usually does – Mistico will sing and unmask if he loses to the band leader, but if (when) he wins, everyone in the band has to shave their head. Mistico is very anti-hair.

Pegasus News/Angel @ Warped Tour

IWRG (SUN) 07/15 Arena Naucalpan [IWRG]
1) Samba & Tortugilo Ninjo b Comando Gama & Golem
2) Cyborg, Fantasma de la Ópera, Xibalba b Ave Fenix, Kid Tiger, Marco Rivera
3) Cerebro Negro, Tony Rivera, Ultraman Jr., Veneno b Black Terry, Dr. Morvus, El Hijo del Diablo, Enfermero Jr.
4) Hijo de Cien Caras & Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. b Electroshock & Hijo de Anibal [IWRG IC TAG]

Fantasma de la Opera ran in the tercera to attack Black Terry, which helped the tecnicos. There’s probably another match here, but IWRG didn’t report it. I’m just happy they’re reporting anything.

CMLL (SUN) 07/15 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Mayu @ el Martiente]
3) Dr. X, Infierno, Mr. Trueno b Astro Boy, Oro II, Plata
4) Marco Corelone, Máscara Sagrada, Rayman b Cien Caras Jr., Eclipse, Olimpico
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. b Terrible [UWA HEAVY]

Lots of pictures at the link.

Olimpico replaced Lizmark Jr. I have not seen a result with Lizmark Jr. in it since the June 29th main event against Blue Panther. Maybe he’ll show up for his scheduled match today in GDL, or maybe he’s vanished for three weeks and I’ve just now noticed.

Speaking of, no Black Warrior at TripleMania makes his disappearance all the more strange.

CMLL (MON) 07/16 Arena Puebla [hugo999 and others @ box y lucha]
1) Blue Center, Forajido, the Tiger b Centella de Oro, Espiritu Maligno, Siki Ozama Jr.
2) Coco Blanco, Coco Rojo, Coco Verde DQ Fuerza Chicana, Skandalo, Toro Bill Jr.
3) Mascara Purpura, Maximo, Valiente b ? (japanesse), Goto, Okumura
4) Alex Koslov, Sagrado, Volador Jr. b Averno, Sangre Azteca, Toscano
5) Atlantis, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero b Blue Panther, Mistico, Negro Casas

Evil Monkey distracted the ref in the main, and UG fouled Panther for the pain. Not sure about that semimain result. Ohara was supposed to be in the tercera, but was replaced by a Japanesse man the regulars couldn’t identify. (I’d presume one of the IWRG crew.) Skandalo yanked Coco Verde’s mask.

AAA (TUE) 07/17 Gimnasio Revolucion Culiacan [Noro Este]
1) Extreme Tiger & Laredo Kid vs Espiritu & Scoria
2) X-Pac vs Super Porky, Scorpio Jr. [bull terrier, $10000]
3) Pimpinela Escarlata vs Polvo de Estrellas, May Flowers, Cassandro, Jessy, La Rebelde [hair, mask, cage]

I just like the idea of someone winning $10000 in a match. The cage match is not too hard to figure out.

AAA (THU) 07/19 Arena Tigre Padilla [Zocalo.com.mx]
1) Aguila Plateada vs Demonio Negro
2) Black Boy & King Warrior vs Carvenicola & Konan Gay
3) Capricornio, Coyote, Garlin Boy vs Euforia (Monterrey), Negro Villa, Simbolo
4) Barba Roja, Hijo del Pirata Morgan, Pirata Morgan, Pirata Morgan Jr. vs Baby Rap, Golden Boy, Rey Demonio, Sky

As best I can now figure, this is how everything has gone

Kaleth -> Barba Roja
Nemesis IWRG -> Drake Morgan -> BACK to Nemesis IWRG
? -> Hijo de Pirata Morgan

and no one’s a clown. That’s some other people. Anyway, I think I have to go correct some Monterrey results now.

07/12: Lucha on TV, Aficion, lineup changes, Intocable

Any SOLID word on a new TV show I’m not aware of?

Well, apparently, yes.

AULL on US TV.

If you have access to one of these stations, you get AULL’s Lucha Libre show on Saturday
KTNC-TV in San Francisco / Sacramento, California – 4 PM
KAZH in Houston, Texas – 3 PM
KAZR-CA in Reno, Nevada – 4 PM
KAZO-LP in Omaha, Nebraska – SUNDAY 3 AM

Show is listed as two hours long.

These are all small, low power, former Azteca America stations, so you may need to hunt around to find the right channel number on your system. It looks like they started showing AULL last Saturday, when they dropped the Azteca affiliation.

(No, I can not believe Omaha is getting lucha libre and you’re not.)

Those are former Azteca America channels. If you check out the sports section of the Azteca America site (and have WMP installed), you can see video of last Tuesday’s Coliseos how. What does this mean? I have no idea, but they caption it as being on DeporTV America, which is available on Azteca America stations. May just be a 3 minute clip piece talking about lucha libre, but I’m going to check the show on this week just to see. It’s on Sunday afternoon.

CMLL (TUE) 07/10 Arena Aficion [ETARRA88 @ Satanico’s Mansion]
1) Dragon Chino & Furia Xtreme b Sacristan Del Diablo & Tigerman
2) Carta Brava & Super Astro 2000 b Jorge el Elegante & La Chona
3) Astro Boy, Enfermero, Payaso Arenita b Blade, Cerebro Negro, Titan
4) Averno & Misterioso II b Dr. Wagner Jr. & Místico [pi]

Mistico & Wagner had issues in the final fall. Building was 80% full.

Some rejiggered cards today. First, IWRG…

IWRG (SUN) 07/15 Arena Naucalpan
1) Samba & Tortugilo Ninjo vs Comando Gama & Golem
2) Ave Fenix & Halcon Salvaje vs Asesino Negro & Macho II
3) Kid Tiger, Marco Rivera, Misterio Verde vs Cyborg, Guardia, Xibalba
4) Cerebro Negro, Tony Rivera, Ultraman Jr., Veneno vs Black Terry, Dr. Morvus, El Hijo del Diablo, Enfermero Jr.
5) Hijo de Cien Caras & Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. vs Electroshock & Hijo de Anibal [IWRG IC TAG]

and in Guadalajara

CMLL (SUN) 07/15 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Neon & Virgo vs Imposter & Valentin Mayo
2) Estrella de Jalisco & Nube Roja vs Danger (Gudalajara) & Guero Loco
3) Astro Boy, Oro II, Plata vs Dr. X, Infierno, Mr. Trueno
4) Marco Corelone, Máscara Sagrada, Rayman vs Cien Caras Jr., Eclipse, Lizmark Jr.
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. vs Terrible [UWA HEAVY]

That’s Wagner’s first known defense in 11 months. That semifinal is frightening.

And this is the early released card for Tuesday @ Coliseo

CMLL (TUE) 07/17 Arena Coliseo
1) Molotov & Sombra de Plata vs Caligula & Messala
2) Stuka Jr., Super Nova, Tony Rivera vs Arkangel, Loco Max, Nitro
3) Felino, Mictlan, Valiente vs Goto, Ohara, Okumura
4) Mini Damian 666 vs Bam Bam, Mini Halloween [hair]
5) Dos Caras Jr., Heavy Metal, Sagrado vs Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero, Universo 2000

VIP (SAT) 07/14 Auditorio de Tijuana [El Sol de Tijuana]
1) Kimura & Transformer vs Mazambula & Mozambique
2) Ninja & Pandillero I vs Diamantina & Super Rino
3) Palaca, Pandillero II, Tornado Negro vs Enfermero Jr., King Azteca, Venum Black
4) Hijo de Kendo & Super Muneco vs Nicho & Perro Russo

Same VIP promotion as the DF one. These people believe in Super Muneco as a draw, I guess.

There’s a ByL forum post saying Intocable has resigned with AAA.

Over on PWInsider (hope you’ve got ad block working), Adam Gerstein writes about his experience going to Mexico City for the two weekend CMLL shows and WWE’s Saturday show. It’s pretty good.

This Hoy Internet article talking about the lucha show in LA this weekend is great. This is Cien Caras’ last match ever! He’s getting close to triple digits Last Match Evers.

05/04: Riot in SLP, Guadalajara, Mexico Preview, IWRG, AULL

(see the previous post for Mistico’s injury)

El Sol de San Luis Potosi has news on the Auditorio Miguel Barragan show on Wednesday. Everything was going fine till the semimain ended. There was a 15 unexplained minute break, and I guess the wrestlers tried to go out there without Mistico. (Koslov took his place) The fans were ticked, and nothing the tecnicos could do would settle them down. The fans started throwing things at the ring, and the wrestlers abadoned the match and headed to the back. The fans went more crazy – “suddenly, they began to burn Mistico masks”, chairs were thrown and security was totally overwhelmed. People ran to get out of the building and save themselves.

At 12:30 am, Mistico finally arrived at the arena. Not sure how late that would put him. He talked with the press, explaining his delay (plane flight?) and his shoulder injury (listed here as right.) 700 fans were still left in the arena, so Mistico head to the ring, where the fans chanted “FRAUD” at him. (Why did they stay, then?) Mistico explained himself, and ended up doing some spots with Mr. Aguila and Damian, maybe just to get the people home.

The recap mentions Hijo de Pierroth was the promoter here. Probably not going to work out on him doing another show.

KrisZ says AAA (via Konnan) are talking to Hulk Hogan and Paul Wight (Big Show/the Giant.) Can AAA pay what Hogan wants? I dunno.

cmll

CMLL (SUN) 04/29 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Fraile de la Muerte b Estrella de Jalisco
2) Metal Blanco, Metalik, Metatron b Depredador, Guero Loco, Infierno
3) Carlo Roggi b Valentin Mayo [hair]
4) La Mascara & Stuka Jr. b Efesto & Goto
5) Rey Bucanero, Shocker, Volador Jr. b Eclipse, Tarzan Boy, Terrible

Eclipse was busted open outside, and ended up down in a “pool of his own blood”. That doesn’t sound good.

CMLL (TUE) 05/01 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Flama b Thunder Boy
2) Rey Trueno b Casanova
3) Mr. Trueno CO Idolo
4) Evola b Danger (Guadalajara)
5) Leon Blanco b Egipcio
6) Malefico, Mascara Magica, Toxico b Gallo, Magnum, Stuka Jr.
7) Rayman & Vampiro CO Black Warrior & Eclipse

Eclipse was back here, so it couldn’t have been so bad, I’d hope. Ending was a bit weird. Rayman and Eclipse were inside, Warrior dived out on top of them, and Vamp…just hung out in the ring for the twenty count. A win is a win. Magica fouled Stuka, so that feud is still going. Something went wrong in the Mr. Trueno/Idolo match, and Idolo ended up getting carried out.

ESTO has a story on the lucha libre convention, as does Radio Formula.

The updated lineup for Arena Mexico.

CMLL (FRI) 05/04 Arena Mexico
1) Astro Boy & Stuka Jr. vs Artillero & Super Comando
2) Euforia, Nosferatu, Satanico vs La Mascara, Mictlan, Virus
3) Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto vs Heavy Metal, Sagrado, Ultimo Dragon
4) Alex Koslov, Marco Corelone, Rey Bucanero vs Atlantis, Sangre Azteca, Ultimo Guerrero
5) Marcela vs Princesa Sujei [MEX WOMEN]
6) Dr. Wagner Jr., Negro Casas, Volador Jr. vs Hector Garza, Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mr. Aguila

Just that one change, since Volador wasn’t working the show. Dunno where this leaves the Tijuana show, as well as the five hundred other places Mistico’s scheduled to work in the next few weeks. Besides the previous linked previews, La Presna and NOTIMEX also have them, but they’re before Mistico’s substitution.

I’m thinking Marcela wins the title.

(ESMAS) CMLL wrestlers are campaigning for Perro Aguayo Jr., so he doesn’t get voted off his reality show. They figure he’s representing all of lucha. Conspicously, they only quote rudos in the article.

IWRG (THU) 04/26 Arena Nauacalpan [Héctor Albores @ the gladiatores]
1) Antaris b Golem
2) Trauma I & Trauma II b Kid Tiger & Star Boy

4) Kraneo, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Okumura DQ Dr. Cerebro, Esfinge, Hijo de Anibal
5) Alex Koslov, Mascara Sagrada, Suicida b Hijo de Cien Caras, Pierroth, Terrible

Hijo de Cien Caras was blinded in the main event, and accidentally fouled his own partner Terrible. Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. took off his mask and flung it to Anibal, and the ref caught Anibal with it.

IWRG’s site is still down.

Univision has an article about Intocable’s character on his telenovela.
