07/06: WWE, Gudalajara, Tampico, Xalapa

Jul 6

Posted by thecubsfan in news | 10 Comments

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.

2) Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno b Azazel & Mach 1
3) Ephesto, Infierno, Malefico b Hijo del Faraon, Magnum, Metálico

06/18: Puebla, Lineups

Jun 19

Posted by thecubsfan in news | 6 Comments

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

Jun 8

Posted by thecubsfan in news | Comments off

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

May 23

Posted by thecubsfan in news | 9 Comments

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.

AULL (SAT) 05/19 Arena Lopez Mateos [KrisZ]
1) Tortugillio Ninja I, Tortugillio Ninja II, Tortugillio Ninja III b Pequeno Porro I, Pequeno Porro II, Pequeno Porro III
2) Haku, Mr. Potro, Yakuza b Angel de Fuego, Infierno, Kilvan
3) Epidemia & Robin Maravilla b El Solito & Psicopata [AULL TAG]
4) Sepulturero I b Hermano Sepulturero [name]
5) America Salvaje, Rey Krimen, Sadico b King Star Tiger, Mano Negra Jr., Terry 2000
6) Dos Caras Jr., Vampiro, Volador Jr. b Hijo de Cien Caras, Hijo del Cien Caras, Universo 2000

There’s a billion photos of this show over at El Martinete. AULL will be hosting a benefit show for El Signo on 07/01, who needs money for spinal surgery.

CMLL (SUN) 05/20 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [KrisZ]
1) Casanova b Flama
2) Exterminador & Metatron b Destroyer & Rey Trueno
3) Rayman b Sagrado, Flash, Gallo, Metal Blanco, Cien Caras Jr., Mr. Trueno, Toxico, Malefico, Infierno [ciber]
4) Damian 666, Mr. Aguila, Terrible b Hijo de Lizmark, Vampiro, Volador Jr.

In the main, Terrible pinned Vampiro once again after a foul. Rayman & Sagrado want a shot at the Cien Caras Junior brothers Occidente Tag titles.

AAA (SUN) 05/20 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [rfc]
1) Mercurio & Virtual X b Ben Hur & Guerrero Negro Jr.
2) Ramses (ACM) & the Mummy b Karis & Orus
3) Estrellita, Hombre Sin Miedo, Octagoncito b Hechicera, Mini Chessman, Rey Infernal
4) Aventurero, Hator, Histeria b Angel, Brazo, Pimpinela
5) Charly Manson b Alan Stone

Pimpi is hurt, obviously so, and worked anyway.

indy (FRI) 06/01 Auditorio de Tijuana
1) Sparks vs Conde Murcielago
2) Pandillero I & Pandillero II vs Hijo de Kendo & Super Rino
3) Rubi Gardenia & Torando Negro vs Diamantina & Enfermero Jr.
4) Ku Kluk Klan I & Super Muenco vs Hijo de Rey Misterio & Ninja [ri]
5) Blue Demon Jr., Medico Asesino Jr., Rey Misterio vs Cien Caras Jr., Espectro Jr., Nicho

This is being promoted at Medico Asesino Jr.’s retirement match.

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.

05/03: Queretaro, Liger, Monterrey, Mistico not in SLP

May 3

Posted by thecubsfan in news | 4 Comments

cmll

According to Ovaciones, Leono and Maximo will be out two weeks. Leono hurt his right elbow, Maixmo hurt an ankle.

CMLL (TUE) 05/01 Arena Queretaro Lineup [Knotty @ el martinete]
1) Alasthor b Furia Dorada Jr.
2) Drabek I, Drabek II b La Flecha, Lince [1, LLQ TAG]
3) El Corsario, El Toro b Espiritu Negro, Ozuno
4) Loco Max, Nitro b Mictlan, Satanico
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero b Olimpico, Tarzan Boy

Satanico turned on Mictlan, naturally. Show on the 15th will have a cibernetico with Stuka Jr., Super Nova, Maximo, Leono, Flash, and Astro Boy.

CMLL (TUE) 05/08 Arena Coliseo Lineup [CMLL Magazine]
2) Flash, Starman, Sensei vs Arkangel, Nitro, Jeque
3) Leono, Tony Rivera, Stuka Jr. vs Misterioso II, Ohara, Loco Max
4) Mr. Aguila, Damian 666, Halloween vs Sagrado, ?, Mictlan
5) Jushin Liger, Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero vs Dos Caras Jr., Hijo de Lizmark, Ultimo Dragon

Jeque lives! Also, Liger. (The ? is Maximo, but obviously no.)

According to this post (El Halcon), Mistico no-showed the SLP show yesterday and a riot ensued.

indy (FRI) 05/04 Arena Monterrey
1) Perla Negra vs Paty Rey
2) Indio Payutla & Mosco vs Dark Side & Sika
3) Cazador, Ejecutor, Tormenta Negra vs Puma de Plata, Relampago Azul, Zorro Plateado Jr.
4) Calaquita & La Parkita vs Mini Batman & Mini Killer
5) Black Power, Hijo del Diablo, Shu el Guerrero vs Angel del Amor, Azteca Warrior, Casanova

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.

04/22: More AAA TV notes, Jeque/Stuka finish, Accion

Apr 22

Posted by thecubsfan in news | 1 Comment

Rodrigo_Park @ box y lucha has a recap of the 04/20 AAA Xalapa taping. Notes not mentioned in Ovaciones:
- the taping started 3 hours late; it was an outdoor show, so they didn’t want to start till the rain stopped, but that doesn’t help the fans who were stuck out waiting.
- the show suffered due to the wet ring; a Fuerza Aerea member blew a spot badly because of it
- Joe Lider and Crazy Boy ran in the Sect/Barrios match for the usual spots. Joe might have hurt his knee in here
- Cibernetico was nowhere to be found on the show, so after the tag match, you had a scene of Charly and Chessman versus the whole Sect and the whole Vipers. It did not fair well for the Hell Brothers.
- La Parka Jr introduced Tinieblas Jr. as his replacement.

The recap mentions Octagon was walking strange to the ring and, friends of his noted (so this secondhand, thirdhand when you’re reading it here) they smelled alcohol on him. Seeing as the wrestlers must’ve been sitting backstage with nothing to do for three hours, it certaintly seems possible they might have had a beer while killing time. I don’t know if it means he was drunk or what.

CMLL FSE was as noted yesterday, which means
04/13 Mexico: Hiroka, Mima Shimoda, Princesa Sujei b Dark Angel, Luna Magica, Sahori
04/15 Mexico: Stuka Jr. b Jeque [mask]

I have to say, my personal highlight from the the mask match was Arkangel (and Jeque’s family) wearing a Jeque shirt – I can not believe such a thing exists.

Jeque TOTALLY got screwed. Stuka sorta did too, because the match story wasn’t Stuka getting a big win, it was Tigre Hispano screwing up. Jeque missed a top rope move, Stuka covered him, Jeque kicked out at 2, and Tigre Hispano counted three anyway. I had feared it was Jeque doing a little business for himself, but from the move that led to the finish and the amount of time left in the show, it was pretty obviously designed to be a near fall and Hispano screwed it up. FSE showed slow motion replays clearly showing Jeque getting his shoulder up – this was bad. After the three count, everything fell apart; I think Jeque wanted to ignore the three count and keep going, but Hispano didn’t immediately wave off the three count, Jeque quickly realized they were screwed and gave up the goat.

They MIGHT be able to do a return hair match here, but they sure shouldn’t be putting Tiger Hispano in another big match anytime soon.

We got a crying child though. That was great.

Accion:

CMLL: MONKEY VS MONKEY, though they really didn’t explain what was up with that, and Evil Black Monkey got beat up by Bucanero and strechered out too. Lots of focus on Ultimo/Shocker to build up next week’s match, and the finish.

AAA: Mexican Powers vs Guapos. Crazy Boy moonsault off a high object, CHECK. Joe Lider’s new outfit is ugly, but he was good enough to beat up Guapocito and Scorpio Jr. for the win.

According to Bob Barnett on Figure Four Daily, part of Vampiro’s return to CMLL is to set up a deal between the promotion and a Canadian PPV company. That would be cool, if it happens.

04/20: Jeque, Shocker, Mexico preview

Apr 20

Posted by thecubsfan in news | 10 Comments

ESTO has a couple of interviews today. They talk to Jeque

They also talk to Shocker. It’s a career bio, but they briefly touch on WWE (without mentioning it by name.) Shocker says he’s not going back to the US, because they don’t respect his experience and level. Shocker figures he’s got 10-15 years left in him, as long as he stays in shape.

The producer of the soap opera Mistico will be on starting in July plans to unmask Mistico. Figuratively – we’re going to see the real man behind the mask who started out living on the streets (so ‘real’ is slightly not real.)

Arena Mexico previews
- Ovaciones
- ESTO
- Notimex

The main event is High Society vs Guerreros, but one again, the real main event is the semimain – Mistico and amigos vs the Trio of Terror.

CMLL (FRI) 04/20 Arena Mexico
1) Danger & Moltov vs Caligula & Messala
2) Leono, Valiente, Virus vs Euforia, Nosfearatu, Satanico
3) Alex Koslov, Blue Panther, Ultimo Dragon vs Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca, Tarzan Boy
4) Mistico, Negro Casas, Sagrado vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
5) Marco Corleone, Rey Bucanero, Shocker vs Atlantis, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero

I think Satanico’s a rudo just for one night, but we’ll see.

Tonight’s also an AAA TV taping – they tape this Friday and next Friday, so no Dr. Morales for AAA for a bit. I presume they’ll start mentioning the May tapings on AAA TV this weekend.

IWRG’s site is still down. So is El Halcon.

04/16: Coliseo, Guadalajara, Monterrey

Apr 16

Posted by thecubsfan in news | 3 Comments

Jeque unmasked
via Ovaciones

CMLL (SUN) 04/15 Arena Coliseo [ovaciones, alvin @ el martiente]
1) Arkangel de la Muerte, Dr. X, Mr. México b Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metálico, Tony Rivera
2) Ephesto, Mephisto, Misterioso II b La Máscara, Leono, Mictlán
3) Damián 666, Halloween, Mr. Águila b Máximo, Sagrado, Texano Jr.
4) Stuka Jr. b Jeque [mask]
5) Lizmark Jr., Místico, Rey Bucanero DQ Atlantis, Black Warrior, Último Guerrero

Jeque is Marrio Moreno Garcia, from Mexico City, and he’s been wrestling for 25 years. Third fall finish was a bit odd; Stuka got the pin, but Jeque popped back up, continued fighting, got his valagueza, and covered – and the ref counted three, before awarding the match to Stuka. Jeque complained after the match that Stuka’s pinfall was only a two count, and declared his mask loss to be a robbery, but unmasked because he’s a professional. It’ll be interesting to see how that comes off on TV. This match didn’t do anything for attendence, but then I’d be shocked if it did.

Warrior fouled Mistico in the main event. The Lizmark Jr. seems to be off, again. I will now communicate my anger about this in exclamation points: !!!!!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! !

Not only did the Perros beat the Mexican Trios champs, but Damian tried to out Maximo Maximo himself! Harsh.

CMLL (SUN) 04/15 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [El Occidental]
1) Estrella de Jalisco & Neon ?? Fraile de la Muerte & Imposter
2) Guero Loco & Valentin Mayo b Azazel & Carlo Roggi
3) Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno b Metal Blanco & Metatron
4) Nitro & Sangre Azteca b Gallo & Metro II
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Rayman, Shocker b Mascara 2000, Toxico, Universo 2000

Toxico replaced Cien Caras Jr., and Rayman replaced Rayo de Jalisco (hmmm).

CMLL (SAT) 04/14 Palenque de Gallos de la Feria Chipas [El Heraldo de Chipas]
1) Murcy Jr. b ?
2) Americano, Bugambilia, Guerrerito Zulu b Angel Maligno, Psicopata, Sangre de Aguila
3) Capitan Furia, El Mexicano, El Terrorista b Dragon Negro, Guerrero Zulu, Halcon Samurai
4) Tzuki & Ultimo Dragoncito b Pequeno Violencia & Pierrothito
5) Mistico & Volador Jr. b Black Warrior & Ultimo Guerrero

AAA (SUN) 04/15 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]
1) Panterita del Ring II & Rey Imagen DRAW Apolo Negro & Euforia (Monterrey)
2) Ares, Karis la Momia, Orus, The Mummy b Ben Hur, Escorpio Negro, Guerrero Negro Jr., Rey Infernal
3) el Angel & Martha Villalobos b el Brazo & Tiffany
4) Alan, Billy Boy, Decnnis b Angel Mortal, Gallego, Mr. Condor
5) Elegido, Intocable, Mascara Divina b Aventurero, Espiritu, Hator

ESTO‘s recap of Friday’s Arena Mexico show says the women’s match was boring. In Notimex‘s article, Perro Jr. declares that any time he loses via a foul, it’s a win for him, and Mistico wishes he was a rudo. They also talk to the winners, where Negro explains it’s his years of experience which allows Mistico and himself to work as great partners despite never actually teaming with each other.

El Manana’s Martiente column is about – uh, I’m not sure. He’s not happy with promoters for some reason; I can’t figure it out.

04/09: Demon/Solitario, Coliseo

Apr 9

Posted by thecubsfan in news | 7 Comments

LUCHAS 2000 #363 teases Blue Demon Jr. vs Hijo del Solitario in a mask match on 05/05. I wonder what match will actually happen, if there’s an actual match here.

CMLL (SUN) 04/08 Arena Coliseo [ova]
1) Carrona & Vaquero b Espiritu Maligno & Karisma
2) Sombra de Plata, Super Nova, Valiente b Artillero, Pólvora, Súper Comando
3) Leono, Stuka Jr., Virus b Dr. X, Jeque, Loco Max
4) Damián 666, Halloween, Mr. Águila b Máximo, Satánico, Tigre Metálico
5) el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Héctor Garza, Terrible b Alex Koslov, Marco Corelone, Shocker

Terrible used the ropes to pin Marco in the main event. Metalico replaced Metal (fair enough), and Sombra de Plata filled in for Flash. Jeque might have gotten DQed for ripping Stuka’s match to set up the mask match.

indy (THU) 04/12 Arena Olimpico Laguna de Gomez Palacio [siglo de torreon]
1) Flashman & Scriba Jr. vs Fuego & Mini Star
2) Centella Azul Jr., Dorado Jr., Sexy Libra vs Dulce Paola, Scriba, Semental
3) Hijo del Angel Azteca & Piloto Suicida vs Mr. Guerrero & Muerte Siniestra
4) Hijo del Soberano vs Piloto Negro [mask, hair]

Negro won the JWA title from Soberano last week, so they’re doing a stips match this week.

The Martinete column in El Manana write that Mistico and Santo cost way too much (25000 pesos; $2,275 US), so promoters should use other stars instead. The column also rips Pierroth and Lizmark Sr. (need to retire) and Lizmark Jr. & Tarzan Boy (don’t do any thing in the ring.)
