07/06: WWE, Gudalajara, Tampico, Xalapa

There’s CMLL and WWE shows tonight in Mexico City, and AAA tapes it’s last show before TripleMania in Puebla.

ESTO recaps the whole Wagner/Mistico feud (one week.) Notimex doesn’t have much to say either.

Ovaciones and ESTO says Toscano, Heavy Metal, Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Sagrado, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Terrible, and Rey Bucanero taped an episode of El Rival Mas Debil (The Weakest Link) for TV Azteca. Ovaciones goes onto a whole digression about Pierroth no-showing (maybe that’s why MY2K Jr. is on there) claiming to be in a car accident but was later seen around Arena Mexico and how these no-shows reflect bad on CMLL (which is true, but I’d start with complaining about the wrestling events they miss – see GDL results – before the TV cameos.)

The real story is – they still have The Weakest Link in Mexico? That seems so long ago. I think I saw a rerun of a show the other where someone was making a (horrible) reference to it and it seemed so dated, and it’s still on it Mexico, huh. In England and France too – I just remember it seemingly lasting six weeks in the US before it wore out it’s charm (yet still existed.) I’d totally watch this episode, of course, and I wonder if it’ll make it to Azteca America. I bet Panther won.

WWE (WED) 07/04 Plaza Monumental Tijuana Results [El Sol de Tijuana]
1) Super Crazy b Daivari
2) Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch b Paul London & Brian Kendrick [WWE TAG]
3) Mickie James b Melina
4) William Regal b Val Venis
5) Jeff Hardy b Snitsky
6) Carlito b Santino Marella
7) Rey Misterio Jr., Bobby Lashley, John Cena b Booker T, Randy Orton, Umaga

Building was said to be 3/4ths full. Recap says Regal/Venis bored the crowd.

Ovaciones and ESTO have different lineups for tonight’s DF WWE show. It’s gone thru many revisions.

Lots of GDL stuff…

CMLL (SUN) 07/01 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Casanova b Fraile de la Muerte
2) Depredador & Guero Loco b Azazel & Mach-1
3) Artillero, Jeque, Super Comando b Metal Blanco, Metalik, Metatron
4) Malefico, Mascara Magica, Toxico b Fabian el Gitano, Gallo, Mascara Purpura
5) Averno, Efesto, Mephisto b Blue Panther, Sagrado, Negro Casas

Shocker no showed the main event, and they must’ve known ahead of time because they bumped people around to accommodate. Sagrado moved up one, Mascara Purpura moved up one, Metatron got on the card. Jeque Watch: he pinned Metalik clean. Mascara Magica fouled Fabian el Gitano – that’s a feud that needs to stay in GDL.

CMLL (TUE) 07/03 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Milenio b Virgo
2) Estrella de Jalisco b Danger (Guadalajara)
3) Guerrero Samuray b Rey Trueno
4) Leon Blanco b Asesino Negro
5) Mach 1 b Jeque
6) Angel Blanco Jr., Artillero, Super Comando b Fabian el Gitano, Magnum, Mascara Purpura
7) Olimpico & Ultimo Guerrero b Alex Koslov & Marco Corelone

Jeque Watch: he lost clean. Look at Artillero and Super Comando with an honest to god semifinal win. Ultimo fouled Marco to win, Marco challenged him to a singles match next week, and this feud is making it around the horn quite a bit. I guess they’re going to make a luchador out of Corelone or UG will die trying.

CMLL (TUE) 07/10 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Estrella de Jalisco vs Destroyer
2) Evola vs Guero Loco
3) Nuba Roja vs Exterminador
4) Metalik vs Infierno
5) El Gallo & Tigre Blanco vs Malefico & Mascara Magica
6) Blue Panther & Sagrado vs Hijo de Lizmark & Terrible
7) Marco Corelone vs Ultimo Guerrero

CMLL LLA (SUN) 07/08 Gimnasio Nuevo Leon [PegassoOriginal]
1) Furor & Galactar vs Black Soul & Titanik
2) Mongol Jr., Principe de Oro, Rey Apostl vs Chuy Oviedo, Golden Boy, Rey Demonio Jr.
3) La Sombra, Rey Hechizero, Tigre Universiatio vs Gitano, Potro Jr., Silver Star
4) Blue Panther & Negro Casas vs Damian 666 & Mr. Aguila

AAA (SUN) 07/08 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]
1) Barba Roja & Hijo del Pirata Morgan vs Invasor & Mercurio
2) Aguila Extrema & Virutal X vs Monje Negro Jr. & Pirata Morgan Jr.
3) Brazo, Estrellita, the Mummy vs La Diabolica, Monsther, Rey Infernal
4) Extreme Tiger vs Oriental, Histeria [bull terrier]
5) Pirata Morgan & Sangre Chicana vs Antifaz & Hator

CMLL (WED) 07/04 Auditorio Municpal Tampico [Rocinante TYT CVF @ box y lucha
1) Mensajero del Muerte & Silver Fox b Baby Lover & Lumino
2) Bam Bam & Último Dragoncito b Pequeño Damian 666 & Pequeño Halloween
3) Brazo de Platino, Mascara Purpura, Valiente b Artillero, Coco Blanco, Súper Comando
4) Alex Koslov, Marco Corelone, Máximo b Loco Max, Sangre Azteca, Último Guerrero
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. b LA Park, Atlantis

Main event was elimination style. Wagner pinned Atlantis, ended up getting his mask yanked by Atlantis and fouled by Park, but the ref wouldn’t count the pin. Park tried a figure four, Wagner small packaged him for the win. I wonder who booked this show.

Tercera was supposed to be a tag match with the youngsters, but Brazo and Coco got added and it turned into a comedy match. I’d be so annoyed if that happened. Mini Damian got Bam Bam with the Valagueza, but Dragoncito rallied back to beat both Mini FdT guys for the win – maybe that’s the match we’re building too?

CMLL (THU) 07/05 Deportivo Colon, Xalapa, Veracruz [rodrigo_park @ box y lucha]
1) Soldado Anomio & Subzero b Guepardo & Nocturno
2) Gabriel o Gabriela, Samuray, Turbo b ?, Perro Mocho Jr., Rey Garifo Jr.
3) Marcela b Amapola [MEX WOMEN]
4) Heavy Metal, Rey Bucanero, Vampiro b Atlantis, Olimpico, Pierroth
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. b Ultimo Guerrero

ESTO also has an article about Santo in Spain. Also, Hijo de Santo is interviewed with Rumbo en Internet. If this is not a reprint of an interview I’ve already linked to, it’s close enough.

I have no idea who Niurka is, but apparently she’s a Mexican TV star who was special guest referee for Tuesday’s Arena Coliseo Monterrey show. It sounds like she acted like a complete goofball during the match, fell off the second rope when posing, and lost a (fake) nail when getting mobbed for autographs after the match. This required a hospital stay. Somehow, there are dozens are stories about this, including Rossy Moreno challenging her to a match. I presume it’s a Paris Hilton situation.

06/28 (2): Guadalajara

I meant to post the results, because someone asked…

CMLL (SUN) 06/24 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [KrisZ]
1) Fraile de la Muerte & Valentin Mayo b Idolo & Magistral
2) Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno b Azazel & Mach 1
3) Ephesto, Infierno, Malefico b Hijo del Faraon, Magnum, Metálico
4) Metal Blanco b Jeque [hair]
5) Lizmark Jr., Misterioso II, Terrible b La Máscara, Metalico, Sagrado

Metalico replaced Shocker. Lizmark replaced Warrior, and fouled Sagrado for the win.

Cards for this week. As you can see, Jeque appears to be staying on.

CMLL (SUN) 07/01/2007 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Casanova vs Fraile de la Muerte
2) Azazel & Mach-1 vs Depredador & Guero Loco
3) Mascara Purpura, Metal Blanco, Metalik vs Artillero, Jeque, Super Comando

2) Estrella de Jalisco vs Danger (Guadalajara)
3) Guerrero Samuray vs Rey Trueno

5) Mach 1 vs Jeque

06/18: Puebla, Lineups

CMLL (MON) 06/18 Arena Puebla [hugo999]
1) Fuerza Chicana, Furia Chicana, Karissman b Blue Center, King Jaguar, Zigma
2) Black Terry, Kraken, Siki Osama Jr. b Centella de Oro, Legionario, Mr. Rafaga
3) Lady Apache, Luna Magica, Marcela b Amapola, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda
4) Sangre Azteca, Terrible, Ultimo Guerrero b Blue Panther, Marco Corelone, Sagrado
5) Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila b Heavy Metal, Negro Casas, Volador JR. [MEX TRIOS]

Terrible replaced Black Warrior, who still seems to be missing. No details on the main event. I think Ultimo fouled Marco for the pin in the semimain, if I’m reading this right.

El Salavador has an obit for Caballero Rojo

La Voz de La Frontera previews a Mexicali show by talking up Dr. Wagner Jr.’s feuds with Atlantis, Black Warrior and Damian 666. Huh.

Blue Demon Jr. was on a panel, talking about the importance of physical education in school.

Box Y Lucha 2823 has Perro winning the reality show. Ehhhh. It’s been nice to see Blue Demon Jr. all the sudden become a Perro del Mal member when it gets him on TV.

Some lineups after the break, including Jeque’s Big Match (Take 2)

06/08.2: Coliseo, Guadalajara

CMLL (TUE) 06/05 Arena Coliseo
1) Polvora & Zayco b Super Camaleon & Super Tri
2) India Sioux, Lady Apache, Princesa Blanca b Hiroka, La Nazi, Mima Shimoda
3) Mini Olimpico b Mini Damian 666 [CMLL MINI]
4) Leono, Mictlan, Sombra b Goto, Ohara, Okumura
5) Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Sagrado b Atlantis, Olimpico, Tarzan Boy

Not much news here. On the rare occasions they’ve been running mini singles matches at spot shows, this is the match they’ve run, so I bet it was good.

CMLL (SUN) 06/03 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Virgo b Milenio
2) Casanova & Estrella de Jalisco b Fraile de la Muerte & Imposter
3) Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno b Idolo & Nube Roja
4) Infierno, Jeque, Malefico b Metal Blanco, Metalik, Metatron
5) Emilio Charles Jr., Máscara Mágica, Toxico b Flash, Gallo, Stuka Jr.
6) Místico & Sagrado b Averno & Misterioso II

I think you may know how the main event ended. Emilio fouled Gallo for the win, Jeque fouled Metal Blanco for the win.

CMLL (TUE) 06/05 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Exterminador b Milenio
2) Danger (Guadalajara) b Lider
3) Oro II b Mr. Trueno
4) Flash b Infierno
5) Jeque b El Gallo
6) Emilio Charles Jr. & Malefico b Magnum & Stuka Jr.
7) Blue Panther & Negro Casas b Averno & Ephesto

Jeque snuck in a low blow on Gallo. He’s unstoppable! I think they’re actually building him up here for another stip match, which I was kinda rooting for. Even though I never thought he was that super, Jeque deserved a better end.

05/23: Coliseo, La Parka Jr., LdP change, NWA tournament, AULL anniversary show, Guadalajara, Monterrey

CMLL (TUE) 05/22 Arena Coliseo [ova]
1) Mini Olimpico & Ultimo Dragoncito b Mini Damian 666 & Mini Halloween
2) Sensei, Stuka Jr., Trueno b Artillero, Jeque, Super Comando
3) Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metalico, Tony Rivera b Dr. X, Loco Max, Nitro
4) Ephesto, Okumura, Sangre Azteca b Fabian el Gitano, Felino, Mictlan
5) Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Universo 2000 DQ Dos Caras Jr., Rey Bucanero, Volador Jr.

Main event was all pushing Ultimo Guerrero vs Volador Jr., with Ultimo ripping Volador’s mask and faking a foul for victory. In the segunda, Starman was replaced by Stuka, and Jeque filled in for Ramstein, so the Jeque/Stuka feud was back for at least one night.

In it’s recap of AAA’s 05/20 TV Taping, Ovaciones states La Parka Jr.’s rehab is not going well, he’s not close to being cleared, and will be out longer than expected.

This week’s Leyenda de Plata lineup has changed. As expected, Mistico is out of the tournament itself, moved to the main event in Marco Corelone’s spot (so they can begin teasing Aguila/Mistico for 06/01.) Sagrado takes his place, and since we’re not actually rebooking anything after lineup changes, he’s the heavy favorite to win. Texano replaced La Mascara, who’s out hurt.

Sicodelico Jr. will be part of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship Tournament. (Oddly, there’s a video promo with Nicho challenging for the belt, but not Sicodelcio. Plans change.) It’s a 16 man tournament, and he’s got to face someone named “Roughneck Ryan”, who’s theoretically one of the top 16 contenders in all the world despite being named “Roughneck Ryan”. Also, I’m not sure why two guys from the Texas area are having a first round match in Tennessee, but them there’s the breaks. If Sicodelico Jr. moves on, and gosh I hope he doesn’t lose to Roughneck Ryan, he’ll probably face Claudio Castagnoli and I would totally endorse that match happening. If Sicodelico Jr. wins the NWA Title, I think we’ll have to change the “Did the Gran Alternativa win lead him onto bigger things?” bit on the wiki to a Yes.

The word on the street – people all over the streets are talking about the NWA title tournament, naturally – is Byran Danielson will win end up winning the tournament. (Though now that even I know, it’ll be switched.) In a recent interview with Figure Four, Danielson talked a bit about wanting to do a stretch of wrestling in Mexico to learn how to wrestle lucha – he’s worked one Toryumon Mexico show, but that’s about it. If Bryan Danielson wins the NWA Title, CMLL absolutely must bring him in, because that’d be the awesomest thing possible ever. I’d be cool too if it was Claudio or Sicodelico and I’d understand if Danielson’s NOAH tieup means he’s got to AAA (because that’d could brilliantly insane), but just the concept of Danielson with the NWA Heavyweight Belt taking on, say, Mistico would be so fun, and probably draw. I think the NWA name actually might mean more in Mexico than it does in the US, because the Light Heavyweight title has fared quite a bit better than Heavyweight one over the last 18 years.

Medio Tiempo has a long interview/biography of Cibernetico on their site. Being an antihero and all, he doesn’t understand how parents would allow their children to be fans of his, though he gets why kids might be fans anyway.

(Notimex) A new lucha libre gym was opened in the Jardin Balbuena section of Mexico City.

Either this week’s GdR review or the opener y’all want to hear about will be posted later tonight – that’s the plan, anyway.

Note because they haven’t been running Friday shows previously.

Ovaciones also hypes up the Luchas 2000 show for this weekend.

A new arena has opened up Monclova, which they’re calling “Arena Monclova“. That must’ve been tough. They’re planning on twice monthly AAA shows along with boxing and other entertainment on other days. Judging from the picture, it’s not a building, just an open space with bleachers and chairs set up.

Univision has an article on Intocable, who’s apparently in one of their telenovals. The subtitle of the article is “El nuevo latin lover” and that’s very amusing.
