Atlantis vs Mephisto, Negro Casas

CMLL (TUE) 07/03/2012 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Sádico & Taurus b Sky Kid & Soberano Jr.
2) Demonio Maya & Virus b Smaker & Starman
3) Goya Kong, Luna Mágica, Silueta b Hikaru, La Comandante, Tsukasa
REINA champs debuted with a loss, but Fuego says they demonstrated “good rhythm and worked well with La Comandante despite their small size”.
4) Malefico, Misterioso Jr., Shigeo Okumura b Diamante, Gallo, Sagrado
4) Diamante, Gallo, Sagrado b Malefico, Misterioso Jr., Shigeo Okumura
Sagrado beat Okumura and challenged him to a Occidente light heavyweight title match.
5) Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto b Atlantis, Marco Corleone, Super Porky
Rudos took 1/3, focusing on Mephisto vs Atlantis. Mephisto pinned Atlantis with a Devil’s Wings in the first, Porky splashed all the rudos in the second, and Mephisto got away with a foul on Atlantis in the third. Atlantis demanded a rematch.

CMLL put out an article about Negro Casas’ eye injury, and it still sounds like he’s weeks away from returning. His injury is specifically listed as a June 10th match, coming off a Shocker reinera. This looks to be it; that match ended strangely, which sure seemed to indicate something happened. Negro said he could not distinguish things 50cm or more away.

Rob has highlights of 11/13/93 AAA.

top six stories of the last two weeks.

  • Adorable Rubi passed away.
  1. Goya Kong lost her mask in the main event of CMLL’s Infierno en el Ring. Princesa Blanca pinned her to save her own hair, after 8 other women escaped. The match had been built towards for a couple months, and drew a surprisingly strong turnout.
  2. Titan, the luchador with the most fan poll support, was surprisingly the winner of En Busca de un Idolo. Titan’s prizes for winning including a gym membership (unsure if he got it), a title shot against Dragon Rojo Jr. (has not got it), and main event participation on every Friday show for the rest of the year (has yet to be in a main event.)
  3. At the AAA TV taping in Orizaba, Dorian Roldan announced Jeff Jarrett would lead his team at Triplemania for the second’s hair match, and would be joined by another TNA wrestler. Joaquin announced Electroshock and LA Park would be on his team. Also on the show, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. beat Dr. Wagner Jr. again, with Wagner demanding a mask match, and Daga joined the Perros del Mal. Abyss missed his scheduled appearance and was replaced by TNA’s Brutus Magnus (who AAA mistakenly indicated was the ex-CMLL’s Magnus.) Teddy Hart appeared and won.
  4. Nuevo Mistico will debut on August 3rd. Dragon Lee will not wrestle again until then, but has been doing outside press trying to build hype for the debut. The name change skit has been repeatedly shown on CMLL’s many TV shows in the last two weeks.
  5. A&E officially announced the second season of El Luchador. The episodes are being taped presently. Dragon Lee/Mistico replaced the ‘fired’ Magnus in the cast, and Estrellita has been added to the show.
  6. AAA announced a taping for Toluca on 07/13, featuring LA Park vs Abyss (if he makes it this time) for Park’s Latin American championship, with both Jarretts in Park’s corner.
  • Black Warrior, Mr. Aguila, and Volador Jr. won the National Trios Titles from Reyes del Atlantida.
  • Bufete del Amor suggested they may move to the rudo side as a unit.
  • IWL ran their usual show, and DTU ran a group of shows with Supreme.
  • Lucha Libre USA episodes are now on Hulu.
  • In IWRG, Cien Caras Jr. won the Heavyweight title, Chicano won the lightweight title, and Hijo de Mascara won the Juniors title.
  • People who kept their titles: Terrible
  • People who lost their hair in Guadalajara: Sadico (by Javier Cruz Jr.), Javier Cruz (by Barbaro) and probablyl Barbaro (by Leo)

CMLL En Busca de un Idolo (05/25/2012)

Euforia saves Dragon Lee’s life regularly

recap

Euforia, Titan, Ultimo Guerrero vs Atlantis, Diamante, Dragon Lee: as clear a case of laying out a match to spotlight certain people. Dragon Lee got in all his trademark spots and multiple dives. He didn’t do his spots particularly well, he looked exposed in mat wrestling part of the first fall, and a good portion of the crowd dislikes him. Meanwhile, poor Titan did no dives, got no pins, and was equally dumped out of the ring after the match. At least they have a direction? (though, looking back, Ultimo Guerrero may not have been in on the direction early.)

07/13 AAA TV Lineup (Toluca)

AAA TV (FRI) 07/13/2012 Gimnasio Agustín Millán
1) Fabi Apache & Lolita vs Sexy Lady & Sexy Star
2) Atomic Boy, Fenix, Sugi San vs Dark Dragon, Gran Apache, Semental
3) Juventud Guerrera & Vampiro vs Chessman & Daga
4) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown vs Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Texano, Toscano
5) Cibernético & Jack Evans vs Héctor Garza & Teddy Hart
6) LA Park vs Abyss [AAA LA]
LA Park is the champion. Jeff Jarrett & Karen Jarrett will be in Abyss’s corner.

Air Date: 07/22 & 07/29.

This should be posted on luchalibreaaa.com, but they forgot to renew the domain (again.) SuperLuchas has it. 9 pm start time!

Bringing in Jeff Jarrett to stand in Abyss’ corner normally is absurd, but that’s going to be the last show before the PPV (more or less, something will air the afternoon of but they never put emphasis on that show.) However, making it LA Park vs Abyss means we’re still forced to deal endure LA Park vs Jeff Jarrett at some point.

No Wagner, no Perro. No Halloween vs Extreme Tiger. I’ll live. Cibernetico facing Garza means he’s not in the title match?

Consejo vs Psycho Clowns match is non-title.

Vampiro & Juventud Guerrera is a great team (and two guys who didn’t like each other in WCW.)

Segunda should be really good.

Doesn’t seem like there’s any plans for the women on TripleMania so far.

I know there were messages on Twitter about the Guadalajara show last night

but I can not really understand them. I think that means the tecnicas beat the visiting foreigners, not 100% sure.

Zeuxis is back in Mexico, though dealing with a waist injury. She wants a shot at the REINA tag titles. Zeuxis believes the Japanese luchadoras are starting to learn Mexican style and catch up to the luchadoras, but we should not worry because Zeuxis confirms that the Mexicans will always be better. Hooray!

Headhunter and Big Neurosis went to a draw.

The new TripleMania poster is out, implies Perro vs Mesias is a singles match, may not mean anything.

Ciudad y Poder interviewed Hector Garza.
