CMLL (MON) 06/28 Arena Puebla [La Primera de Puebla (photos), Fuego en el Ring, CMLL]
1) Asturiano, Silver, Tigre Rojo ?? Espiritu Maligno, Mr. Rafaga, Siki Osama
2) Guerrero Maya Jr., Leono, Trueno DQ Bronco, Durango Kid, Inquisidor
3) Ángel de Oro, Rush, Stuka Jr. b Cancerbero, Raziel, Virus
4) Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero b La Sombra, Shocker, Volador Jr.
5) Rayo de Jalisco Jr. b Universo 2000 [WWA HEAVY]
Talked about the main event earlier.
Loco Max fouled Centella de Oro for the DQ, and the two rematch next week. Don’t know why I’m mentioning this, but Arena Puebla’s anniversary show is coming up really soon, and Centella de Oro has been in a hair match on those shows the last two years.
No result for the opener. We’re all professionals here.
CMLL (TUE) 07/06 Arena Mexico
1) Metálico & Trueno vs Cholo & Semental
2) Ángel Azteca, Fuego, Guerrero Maya Jr. vs Euforia, Pólvora, Virus
3) Bam Bam vs Demus 3:16 [hair]
4) Blue Panther, Shocker, Toscano vs El Alebrije, Histeria, Psicosis
5) Hijo del Fantasma, Máscara Dorada, Místico vs Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero
Fan appreciation show, so the hair/hair match takes place this week. Could go either way and probably isn’t the end for those two.
CMLL (TUE) 07/06 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Thunder Boy vs Relampago Azul
2) Astaroth & Virgo vs Acertijo & Infierno
3) Metal Blanco & Palacio Negro vs Ángel del Mal & Malefico

5) Máximo & Sagrado vs Héctor Garza & Texano
IWRG (SUN) 11/30 Arena Naucalpan [the gladiatores]
1) Shuriken b Imperio Azteca
2) Gemelo Fantastico I & Gemelo Fantastico II b King Drako & Nemesis (IWRG)
3) Judas el Traidor , Masada, Tetsuda b Goleador, Jack, Pendulo
4) Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro b Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro [super libre]
5) Pendulo, Scorpio Jr., Tinieblas Jr. DQ Head Hunter I, Máscara Año 2000, Veneno
Pendulo replaced Dr. Wagner Jr. That’as a bit of a drop off. MascaraY2K distracted one ref, but got caught fouling Scorpio by the other ref for the DQ. That same referee, Reyes Rosas, refused to leave the ring in the semimain to allow that match to take place under super libre rules (ref outside the ring, only leaning in to count pinfalls) and had to be replaced by a different referee. There’s an angle here, I just don’t get it.
A couple more articles trickling out from yesterday’s stuff
– Averno says he doesn’t want to be considered the leader of the group that’s named after him. Don’t think that’s going to work. Ovaciones says he IS the leader, so this is not clear. What is worth knowing is they expect to add more members and never to know defeat. I guess losing by DQ is not knowing defeat?
– Mictlan says he’s happy to get a big win, despite coming in with an injury suffered on Friday. He’s up for whatever CMLL has for him next, though he’d like to demask Dragon Rojo someday.
– Loco Max was sad he lost to the ‘dancer’, but also that he hurt his ribs during the match.
(SuperLuchas) The NWA is not officially recognizing Sunday’s NWA Welterweight title match between Sombra and Ephesto. Which is the same as it’s been since at least 1991.
Leading up to Lucha Libre London, wrestling101.com has a really good interview with Mascarita Sagrada. He was not a fan of lucha libre growing up, he was a fan of martial arts and just happened to see some people practicing wrestling when he was working out one day and decided to try it as a hobby. Lots of talk about the Juniors Division, other Mascarita Sagradas and his career.
There’s a lucha libre show in Chile next Sunday. They drew 3,000 for their premiere show, and tickets are going from $2000 to $6000 Chilean pesos. (That’s $3 to $9US)
CMLL (SUN) 12/07 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Imposter vs Ebola
2) Virgo vs Samurai, Thunder Boy, Quazar, Neon, Milenio, Azazel, Relampago Azul [mask]
3) Hijo del Fantasma, La Mascara, Marco Corelone vs Lizmark Jr., Terrible, Texano Jr.
4) Shocker vs Mr. Niebla
Shuffled around to do the singles main event like it’s 1999.
CMLL (MON) 12/08 Arena Puebla
1) Blue Center, Legionario, SWAT vs Aguila Guerrera, Ares, Rafaga
2) Bam Bam, Nino de Acero, Pequeno Ninja vs Pequeño Black Warrior, Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Violencia
3) Máximo, Stuka Jr., Valiente vs Black Warrior, Dragon Rojo Jr., Sangre Azteca
4) Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone, Toscano vs Atlantis, Mr. Niebla, Último Guerrero
5) Místico vs Negro Casas [CMLL WELTER]
This will be Mistico’s first defense of this title this year. Just made it.
CMLL (TUE) 12/09 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Plata vs Fraile de la Muerte
2) Silueta vs Magnifica
3) Nube Roja vs Exterminador
4) Magnum vs Infierno
5) Hijo del Fantasma & Valiente vs Misterioso II & Sangre Azteca
6) Terrible & Texano Jr. vs Héctor Garza & Volador Jr.
The big news here is there’s a local women’s match that isn’t Silueta vs Athena.
CMLL (TUE) 12/02 Arena Mexico [ovaciones, ESTO, sololuchas]
1) Ángel Azteca Jr., Angel de Oro, Metálico b Artillero, Pólvora, Súper Comando
2) Dark Angel, Lady Apache, Sahori vs Amapola, Hiroka, Princesa Sujei
3) Dragon Rojo Jr., Okumura, Sangre Azteca b Mascara Dorada, Máscara Púrpura, Valiente
4) Mictlán b Loco Max [hair]
5) Hijo del Fantasma, Místico, Shocker DQ Averno, Mephisto, Texano Jr.
Rudos ripped up Mistico’s mask for the DQ, with Ephesto (who missed his match) and Terrible . Micltan won the first fall, Loco max came back to win the second fall, and Mictlan took the third. It was a nice one hair match winning streak for Loco Max. Okumura replaced Ephesto, who must’ve been too busy dieting for the big title match.
CMLL (TUE) 12/02 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [MT]
5) Casanova b Super Maquina [hair]
6) Black Warrior, Euforia, Mr. Niebla b Leon Blanco, Máximo, Volador Jr.
Toscano wasn’t really back until he missed a show. Leon Blanco replaced him here. Casanova kept his hair, Super Maquina did not keep his hair. Nice Frank Gore jersey anyway.
(CMLL, Notimex) Before Tuesday’s show, CMLL held a press conference to announce a few things
– the Jauria del Terror is no longer than Jauria del Terror. Averno’s group is now Los Hijos del Averno. Same members, new name.
– Sangre Azteca has left the Guerreros to form his own group. The Guerreros are down to Rey, UG, and Atlantis.
– Shocker wants to restart the Guapos. No lineup announced, but Corelone, Garza, Toscano and Maximo are discussed.
– promotion for CMLL photographer Rosalio Vera’s “101 Llaves y lances de la Lucha Libre”. I want to get that.
– Hype for this Sunday’s show in Arena Mexico and next Sunday’s in GDL as well.
It surely was a massive coincidence the Perros del Mal promotion already had announced they were running a press conference for this same day. News from there, via ESTO (1, 2), WagnerMania and SoloLuchas
– Perro explained their offices are next to Arena Mexico because they were planning on working with CMLL to start. Not so much now; Perro’s not happy about CMLL running a big show agianst them, and will give CMLL a war if they want one. Looks like CMLL’s tickets are cheaper than Perros.
– Olimpico was present, so that confirms his jump. He was added to the rudos in the semimain, with Rayman adding to the tecnicos. Olimpico doesn’t look happy in the pictures. Ayako Hamada and Martha Villalobos were there as well, so they’re probably in the women’s match.
– Dr. Wagner Jr. declared Perro has won, and CMLL has lost. I guess they don’t need to run a show then! Wagner also declared CMLL could not veto him, because he would veto CMLL first. He must’ve vetoed CMLL already, because Box Y Lucha has CMLL saying he’s banned again. He’s on a CMLL show in Pachuca on Saturday, so we’ll see how that goes.
– Dr. Wagner Jr. and Cibernetido didn’t get along and teased problems for their match.
Box Y Lucha also posted a few articles from #2899
– the headline story is Cibernetico saying he rejected an offer from CMLL. I’m not sure this means that actually happened.
– Konnan is sad to see Cibernetico leave AAA, and vows to push people regardless of nationality. I’m sure every comment on this post will agree to take Konnan at his word on both points.
– Parka Jr. is also sad Cibernetico left, but wishes him well. Parka says the doctors told him it’d take a year after his shoulder surgery for him to totally heal, so he’s still getting better every day. At the same time, he says he only takes one day off per month, which can’t help.
– Aerostar doesn’t remember anything between diving on Teddy Hart and waking up in the ambulance. That’s not a good sign. The doctor said he had a Cerebral contusion, so Aerostar sat out five whole days.
AAA (THU) 12/04 Tormenta del Oeste, Tulancingo, Hidalgo
1) Crazy Boy, Fabi Apache, Ultimo Gladiador vs ?, Decnnis, Tiffany
2) Abismo Negro & Alex Koslov vs Black Abyss & Chessman
Okay, either Abismo Negro is back on the road or Black Abyss is better than anyone ever figured. (Or there’s a third Abismo Negro, but I refuse to consider that possibility.)
CMLL (SUN) 10/05 Arena Coliseo [ovaciones]
1) Metálico & Tigre Blanco b Arkangel & Hooligan
2) Fabián el Gitano, Leono, Stuka Jr. b Ephesto, Vangelis, Virus
3) Damián 666, Mephisto, Mr. Águila b Grey Shadow, Sagrado, Volador Jr.
4) Loco Max b Tony Rivera [hair]
5) Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr. b Atlantis, Black Warrior, Mr. Niebla
Loco Max beating Tony for Loco Max’s first hair is an upset, but not as a big surprise. They tipped off the finish with the note posted on CMLL.com announcing this match. Even if they didn’t, Loco’s lost his hair plenty but always to young guys who they’re trying to get more attention. Rivera’s long stop being a young guy. This seems just so next time Loco is in a hair match (which probably won’t be that long), they can point out he hasn’t lost every single one of them.
I believe Shadow listed as working is a typo on Ovaciones part, but might as well for confirmation. I suppose he could’ve finished up quick there and booked it to AAA just to say he was in both places on the same night (and then would they show it on FSE? Yea, probably.)
SuperLuchas has more on the Rocky Romero jump. Konnan had been talking to him about it for a bit, and Romero jumped because he didn’t feel CMLL was supporting him.
CMLL (SUN) 10/05 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [MT]
5) Lizmark Jr. DQ Marco Corelone
Match was worked around a knee injury to Corelone’s left knee. Sounded more like a story point for the match (and a run thru for the hair match) and not a injury that’ll take Corelone out, but it’s not totally clear. Corelone snuck in a fall with a small package, but Lizmark got him with a half crab in the third fall. Marco gave, gave some more, and Lizmark wasn’t interested in letting go, so Corelone won by DQ.
Box Y Lucha has also sorts of fun teasers for this week’s edition (#2891)
– Mistico is apparently heading back to the operation room, which sounds like he’s going to be out more
– Dos says he’s NOT vetoed from CMLL, which conflicts with what he just said two days ago.
– The Goddess interview makes it sound like she’s already lost her mask (a week early?)
– Paco Alonso is quoted, saying he doesn’t care about WWE TV coming in.
LuchandoLibre has clips of the NWA Mexico show. SuperLuchas updates injuries on the show: Super Muneco is visiting a chiropractor. Blue Demon is in a neck brace, and he and Dandy have a meeting at the DF Box Y Lucha commission tomorrow. SoloLuchas now has it’s notes on the semimain and main and
Al Filo del Ring talks to TVC Deportes about their lucha coverage (they signed a 2 year contract with WWE for RAW, and a 5 year contract with CMLL to show Arena Puebla) and Groon XXX (who says both AAA and CMLL want him and are just waiting for him to say yes, but he wants to wait six more months.) If WWE was willing to pay him what he’s worth and put him top, Groon says he’d go there too.
El Sol de Cuautla previews Tuesday’s shows. I’ll do that…Tuesday.

CMLL (SUN) 09/28 Arena Coliseo [CMLL, Ovaciones]
1) Artillero & Súper Comando b Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II
2) Goddess, Princesa Blanca, Sahori b La Nazi, Medussa, Mima Shimoda
3) Máscara Púrpura, Tony Rivera, Valiente b Loco Max, Sangre Azteca, Satánico
4) Felino, Heavy Metal, Negro Casas b Damián 666, Mephisto, Mr. Águila
5) Dos Caras Jr., Héctor Garza, Marco Corelone DQ Atlantis, Lizmark Jr., Rey Bucanero
Lizmark fouled Dos yet again in the main event.
In the tercera, Sangre Azteca played the part of Halcon Negro this week and surely regretted it. That picture over there is a still of a Valiente dive gone horribly wrong, and both he and Sangre were strechered out. The CMLL.com report says it was only a scare, but that’s pretty scary. This also overshadowed the angle they were running – Tony Rivera vs Loco Max is indeed on for a hair match next week.
This morning, there was a note confirming this on CMLL.com, noting Tony’s past long winning streak in these matches and Loco Max’s bad performance. It’s disappeared since about 11AM CST.
Ovaciones writes about the Halcon Negro situation. They’re under the belief Halcon Negro is actually supposed to show up each and every week and keeps no-showing.
CMLL (SUN) 09/28 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [MT]
4) Terrible & Texano Jr. b Máscara Año 2000 & Universo 2000 [OCCIDENTE TAG]
5) Gallo & Hijo del Fantasma b Malefico & Máscara Mágica [hair]
6) Blue Panther DQ Villano V
Panther had Villano in the armbar and V5 must’ve not been countering it this time because Terrible & Texano had to run in for the DQ. Gallo & Hijo de Fantasma did not lose their masks. Phew. It’s not like I was expecting the Dinamitias to win the tag team championships of the West (because, why?), but it’s still is surprising to see them lose any time they don’t have to at this point.
Al Filo del Ring has a Shocker interview from Guerreros del Ring (the magazine) – not a lot new: considers himself on leave with CMLL and desperately wants to go back, doesn’t like the AAA using the Guapo name but has no issues with the guys themselves – and one from Scorpio at his benefit show, where he hoped to return to the ring by Novemeber.
Aguila Solitaria would like to return to Arena Mexico for a few retirement matches.
CMLL (MON) 09/29 Arena Puebla
1) Astruriano, Centella de Oro, Tiger Rojo vs Fuerza Chicana, Mr. Rafaga, Toro Bill
2) Black Tiger, Blue Center, Legionario vs Fire, Pequeño Violencia, Pierrothito
3) Alex Koslov, Máximo, Mictlán vs Euforia, Nosferatu, Satánico
4) Dos Caras Jr., Héctor Garza, Marco Corelone vs Atlantis, Negro Casas, Último Guerrero
5) Blue Panther vs Villano V
Pierrothito brings the lightweight title back to Puebla! Also another Panther/V5 rematch and the trios champs teaming up in a non title match (though Ovaciones thinks we should expect a title match next week.)
I will be back to doing these earlier in the day at some point. I hope.
Park, ready for action
SCORPIO TRIBUTE (SAT) 09/20 Arena Lopez Mateos
1) Kagura, Payaso Solei I, Payso Solei II b Hijo de Valiente, Medieval, Valiente Jr.
2) Babe Maravilla, Electrodo Jr., Lockman, Ninja de Fuego b Coyote Dorado, Ira, Maldito Jr., Samot
3) Hombre Lobo, Polaris, Zigfried vs Aguila del America, Dinamita Kid, Kumo
4) Linda Star, Martha Villalobos, Mini Scorpio b Lady Warrior, Mini Cibernetico, Rossy Moreno
5) Intocable, Juventud Guerrera, Pantera, Super Calo, Toscano b Fuerza Guerrera, Monsther, Rambo, Shocker, Zumbido
So, that’s the second strangest 10 man tag from Saturday. Seriously, Shocker and Monsther teaming up. SoloLuchas main page has a photo of Scorpio, so he made it to this show. Mr. Reyes has tons of photos. Scorpio looks thin but you’d expect that.
I’m pretty sure Martha is supposed to have a whole troop of female wrestlers, but even on a charity show, it seems like only those four who get any work.
CMLL (SAT) 09/20 Cancha German Evers, Mazatlan, Sinaloa [SoloLuchas]
1) Angel (Sinola) & Valentin Hernandez DQ Stripper & Wilbert
2) El Conquistador, Forcado Maztleco, Serpiente Marina DQ Brujo Mayor, Marakamis I, Marakamis II
3) el Idolo, Metatron, Palacio Negro b Ebola, Güero Loco, Rafaga
4) Malefico, Máscara Mágica, Sangre Azteca b Bestia Infernal, Flash, Metal Blanco
5) Blue Panther, Stuka Jr., Valiente DQ Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas
Panther wrestled unmasked and was fouled by Niebla for the finish. No Dos Jr., which caused some shuffling. With all the GDL undercarders, I wonder if this was booked thru that building.
CMLL (SUN) 09/21 Arena Coliseo [noroeste]
1) Starman & Trueno b Puma King & Tiger Kid
2) Arkangel, Bronco III, Dr. X b Fabián el Gitano, Metálico, Sensei
3) Leono, Máscara Púrpura, Tony Rivera DQ Misterioso II, Satánico, Virus
4) Black Warrior, Dragon Rojo Jr., Olímpico b Grey Shadow, Sagrado, Valiente
5) Lizmark Jr., Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero b Héctor Garza, La Máscara, Metalik
Dos didn’t make this show either, which should restart the rumors again. Hey, if I was leaving, I’d take off the moment the anniversary was over. Metalik subbed for him, which seems like the extra guy hanging around but they tried to push it as Garza teaming with a guy in his group (that you already forgot about.) Hector had Lizmark down and was going for the moonsault, but UG and Rey trippe dhim up and took out the lesser tag members for the win.
Tercera finish is a bit strange. Tecnicos were rolling to an easy win, Leono and Purpura having done divs and Rivera taking care of Satanico in the ring. Suddenly, Loco Max ran, beat up Tony Rivera. Refs saw it, called the DQ, and Loco kept working over Tony. He was eventually pulled off, and the rudos expressed their unhappiness about Loco costing them the match. Tony challenged Loco to a hair match, but Loco Max just ran off. They did feud last week, so perhpas this is what that’s about. Loco Max is at least living up to his name.
CMLL (SUN) 09/21 Poliforo Juan Gabriel, Juarez [thanks to Albert Cerda]
1) ?, Chucky, Rey Guerrero b ??, Peluchin I, Peluchin II
2) el Incredible, Maquina 45 Jr., Rey America DQ Blackfish, Cinta de Oro, Rocky Star
3) Pequeño Damian 666 & Pequeño Halloween b Bam Bam & Pequeño Olímpico
4) Mictlán & Volador Jr. b Averno & Skandalo
5) Axel, Dr. Wagner Jr., La Sombra b Damián 666, Terrible, Texano Jr.
Rudos in the second match was for excessive violence, and they earned that DQ. Incredible wrestles with a prosthetic leg, but Blackfish yanked it and started hitting people with it. There’s an AAA show here next Sunday, and Wagner vs Park main events a CMLL show two weeks later.
FILL (SUN) 09/21 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]
2) Dr. Cianuro & Keops b Angel Dorado & Angel Dorado Jr.
3) Principe Guerrero, Sangre Chicana, Sangre Chicana Jr. b Bam Bam, Mercurio, Pancho Tequila
4) Estrella Dorada Jr., Huracan Ramirez Jr., Rayman b Casanova, Hator, Sergio Romo Jr.
5) Golden Boy L Rosa Salvaje, Simbolo, Rey Demonio, Corazon Adicto [hair]
Luchando Libre has more video from the Anniversary show.
Guerreros del Ring #158 continues the trend of Panther losing being more important than Villano V winning.
As mentioned in the comments, Negro Casas and CMLL Super Lightweight Champion Rocky Romero are headed into NJPW for their G1 Tag League as the Caribbean Syndicate. I was wondering why they were just representing CMLL, but of course Rocky’s not in CMLL right now (yet, he’s got more history in NJPW than if CMLL just sent a random guy like Gray Shadow.) Meanwhile, Rayo Jr. is working the Fukumenmania 9 show, about the time you’re reading this. That YouTube video wins the award for best combination of a remixed Roxette song with masked wrestling.
KrisZ‘s news update, and WrestlingObserver has their FSE recap with Panther/V5 talk (which I totally agree with.)
