indy (TUE) 12/01 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]
1) Lover Boy & Sangre Negra b Infinito & Solovino
2) Aguila Extrema & Gato Fantasma b Bello Rubi & Gemelo Muerte I
3) Bengali, Difunto I, Difunto II b Furor, Lover Boy, Mongol Chino
4) Hijo del Ninja, Potro Jr., Silver Star b Pierko el Boricua, Sergio Romo Jr., Zumbido
5) Ángel Dorado & Koko Viper b Angel Night & Sky [Relevos Increíbles, hair, mask]

Angel Night lost his mask, no name. Sky lost his hair.

The big story of the day is the Bushi vs Oficial 911 mask match in IWRG tonight, which may tell you all you need to know about the day.

This is pretty close to a 50/50 deal. On the surface, it fits the same form of Rudo Home Team vs Evil Foreigners match CMLL is running tomorrow, but IWRG has often had it’s home team lose when it’s not expected (this may be why there are no stars in IWRG, but that’s another post.) People get masks to promote them in CMLL, and they get masks to lose them dramaticlly in IWRG. Plus, while I still figure Bushi will lose his mask before he goes back home, IWRG runs mask and hair matches more frequently than CMLL; he could have a chance to lose it next week for all we know.

In it’s preview of the match, SuperLuchas touches on the Cerebro Terrible’s title change to Poder Mexica, and says esperemos que regrese el convenio entre ambas empresas y que esta lucah pudiera ocurrir. It’s “expected” that CMLL and IWRG will resume their deal? This seems like news, but it’s passed off like I should’ve known this already.

The Gladiatores should have live coverage on their radio channel.

Octagon tells TelevisaDeportes that he’d like to be as big a legend as El Santo. It’s good to have dreams. To accomplish this, Octagon thinks he needs to be in more movies, but they can’t be movies like Santo was in because no one took them seriously. And yet, he’s still famous. Odd. Also, what serious movie is Octagon going to be in?

News of a Guerreros del Atlantida breakup is Atlantis. Maybe he and Ultimo Guerrero should talk, one of these days. Or maybe UG and CMLL should talk about what storylines they want to get out publicly. Atlantis figures he’ll be on top, as a tecnico or a rudo, so isn’t much worried about it.

Cesar has a recap of Tuesday’s Arena Mexico show.

All you need to know about Blue Demon in one quote: he tells Notimex he thinks he’s making progress in the US because he was ranked #6 in Pro Wrestling Illustrated, “higher than some WWE wrestlers.” Not saying people aren’t willing to buy into it. Also, Perro Jr.’s not getting a title shot at the NWA Heavyweight Title because he’s only a middleweight, but he’d take a mask vs hair match. Demon notes he doesn’t actually like his teammates (Groon, Demon) for the Perros Arena Neza anniversary show, but dislikes his opponents more.

LuchandoLibre says Arena Isabel de Cuernavaca has changed ownership and this month is the last month of shows before it’s torn down. This seems to be the second time this news has gone around this year (the first time was months ago), but maybe there was just a delay in changing ownership over. Not sure where/if CMLL will run monthly shows in Cuernavaca.

DJ Spectro reposts a Box Y Lucha article about the continuing Which Coco Rojo is the legal owner of the name? This’ll never be settled.

02/25 (results): AAA, IWRG, GDL, CMLL

Post is too big this morning. So it’ll be two.

AAA (FRI) 02/20 Arena San Juan Pantitlan [The Gladiatores]
1) La Chona, Miserable, Ricky Ricon b Escorpion Dorado Jr., Mohicano I, Rey del Espacio [Copa Gema, semifinal]
2) Baby Amor, Caricia, Caricia Jr. b Bestia Metalica, Infinito, Mohicano II [Copa Gema, semifinal]
3) La Chona, Miserable, Ricky Ricon b Baby Amor, Caricia, Caricia Jr. [Copa Gema, final]
4) Brian el Striper & Mari Apache b Cinthia Moreno & Dizzy
5) Argenis, Gato Eveready, Laredo Kid b Rio Bravo, Tigre Cota, Tito Santana II
6) Killer Clown, Psycho Clown, Zombie Clown b Cuervo, Escoria, Ozz
7) La Parka Jr. b Zorro, Konnan [copa contreras 2009]

La Parka got a hold of the cane and hit people until he got the won. They’re setting up a Brian/Dizzy hair vs mask match here. Dizzy turned rudo at some point – maybe that’s why Atomic Boy changed his name.

IWRG (SAT) 02/21 Arena Xochimilco [The Gladiatores]
1) Comando Gama b Keshin Black
2) Gemelo Fantastico I & Gemelo Fantastico II b Anticristo Jr. & Vampiro Metalico
3) Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Fantasma de la Opera b Chico Che, Fenix, Miss Gaviota
4) Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro b Dr. Cerebro, Freelance, Multifacetico [IWRG IC TRIOS]
5) Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Scorpio Jr., Tinieblas Jr. b Head Hunter I, Hijo del Cien Caras, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr.

Top two matches were all about teams falling apart. Junior Dinamitias and Head Hunter fell out after Hunter screwed something up. Similarly, Dr. Cerebro and Freelance could not go from having a hair match to teaming up successfully, Cerebro costing his team the match and leading his usual trios parnters (Cerebro Negro and Black Terry) into a beatdown of Freelance and Multifacetico. Tecnicos want a shot at the DF Trios titles now.

Vampiro Metalico hasn’t been here since 2007. Use that knowledge responibly.

IWRG (SUN) 02/22 Arena Naucalpan [The Gladiatores]
1) Halcon 2000 b Imperio Azteca
2) Goleador & Miss Gaviota b King Drako & Vampiro Metalico
3) Black Terry, Eragon, Trauma I b Anticristo Jr., Fantasma de la Opera, Nemesis IWRG
4) Freelance, Multifacetico, Zatura b Arlequin, Avisman, Bushi
5) Head Hunter I & Head Hunter II DQ Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. & Universo 2000

Universo 2000 replaced Mascara Ano 2000 Sr., and Hijo del Cien Caras ran in the end for the DQ. Head Hunters still want that tag title match, though Unvierso wants a Dinamitas vs Foreigners cage match.

Semifinal third fall saw big dives from Freelance and Avisman to wipe out Arlequin and Multifacetico. That left Zatura and Bushi, and Zatura got Bushi with a German suplex. Zatura wants a lightweight title match.

Black Terry filled in on the tecnico side for Trauma II, and I guess they moved Fantasma de la Opera so he’d have an old rudo rival to feud with. (Arlequin replaced Judas el Traidor.) Terry pinned Fantasma using the ropes to win for his team.

CMLL (SUN) 02/22 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Relampago Azul b Skaxy
2) Astaroth & Nube Roja DQ Ebola & Valentin Mayo
3) Magnum & Metatron b Rafaga & Rey Trueno
4) La Mascara, Mictlan, Shocker b Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto [torneo, quarterfinal]
5) Black Warrior, Dragon Rojo Jr., Sangre Azteca b Blue Panther, Mascara Dorada, Stuka Jr. [torneo, semifinal]
6) Black Warrior, Dragon Rojo Jr., Sangre Azteca b La Mascara, Mictlan, Shocker [torneo, final]

Covered the main stuff on Monday. The tag matches would seem to be part of the tournament they were doing here, but there’s no mention of it. Instead, they seem to be building a hair match between Nube Roja and Valentin Mayo, who was disqualified for excessive violence.

CMLL (TUE) 02/24 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [MT]
7) Averno, Mephisto, Satanico b Blue Panther, Mascara Dorada, Mictlan

Averno snuck and fouled Panther while Satanico had the ref, then Satanico picked up the win. This main event was a celebration of Satanico reaching 35 years (and 8 months?) of wrestling.

CMLL (TUE) 02/24 Arena Mexico [CMLL, Avellaneda @ box y lucha]
1) Angel Azteca Jr. & Sombra de Plata b Camorra & Zayco
2) Electrico, Pequeño Olímpico, Shockercito b Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Violencia, Sombrita
3) Lady Apache, Marcela, Sahori b Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sujei, Rosa Negra
4) Hector Garza, Hijo del Fantasma, Toscano b Ephesto, Misterioso II, Terrible
5) Shocker b Ultimo Guerrero

Ultimo Guerrero lost clean, again. Shocker apparently is jumping Dos in line for a title shot, since Shocker/UG for the Heavyweight title will be next week on the monthly fan appreciation show.

Princesa Blanca and Marcela are stil feuding. The rudas were DQed in the first fall for excessive violence and the tecnicas took fall two (so yes, they only go two falls for those who root for such things.)
