04/03: IWRG, Puebla, Luchas 2000, Monterrey

IWRG (SUN) 04/01 Arena Naucalpan
1) Vampiro Metalico b Celestial
2) Kid Tiger & Puma King b Trauma I & Trauma II
3) Astro Boy, Suicida, Turbo b Black Thunder, Dr. Karonte Jr., Fantasma de la Ópera
4) Black Terry, Hijo de Cien Caras, Masada b Esfinge, Negro Navarro, Yamato
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. & Máscara Sagrada b Damián 666 & Halloween

No Perro; he way way overbooked this day. No Rayman either, and much of the undercard was shuffled and changed. Yamato and Masada feuded. The recap was a little surprised that Japanese people would fight each other. Suicida and Fantamsa agreed to a title match.

They’re taking Thursday off for Good Friday (?), so the next show is Sunday.

IWRG (SUN) 04/08 Arena Naucalpan
1) Puma King vs Black Stone
2) Antaris, Freelance, Turbo vs Trauma I, Trauma II, Vampiro Metalico
3) Kai & Yamato vs Masada & Okumura
4) Fantasma de la Opera vs Suicida [IWRG IC WELTER]
5) Alex Koslov, Electroshock, Marco Corelone vs Damian 666, Halloween, Hijo de Cien Caras

CMLL (MON) 04/02 Arena Puebla

2) Espiritu Maligno, Toro Bill, Toro Bill Jr. b Ares, Fuerza Chicana, Furia Chicana
3) Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Ohara, Shigeo Okumura b Coco Blanco, Coco Rojo, Coco Verde, Leono
4) Felino, Heavy Metal, La Máscara b Ephesto, Mephisto, Terrible
5) Alex Koslov, Lizmark Jr., Shocker DQ Atlantis, Máscara Año 2000, Último Guerrero

Shocker filled in for Marco, so he does still know how to get to Arena Puebla. Rudo fans chanted at him to go back to AAA. Loco Max snuck in a foul on Coco Rojo in the tercera, and there were challenges for a hair match.

indy (SUN) 04/01 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]
1) Black Nazi & Tequilita b Larry Miranda Jr. & Mini Payaso Zero
2) Borrico & Burrito b Erin Snake & Marrullero
3) La Kalaka & Sky b Guerrero Griego & Master Boy
4) Aero Boy, Aracnido, Silver Star b Al Barone, Ejecutor, Vudu
5) Casanova & Konan King b Humberto Garza Jr. & Super Konan
6) Golden Boy L Konnan King and El Hijo del Solitario and el Hijo Del Anibal [hair]

Konnan King beat Golden Boy.

indy (TUE) 04/03 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [rfc]
1) Toro Blanco vs Corazon Adicto
2) Sky vs Loco Tormenta
3) Potro Jr. vs Ejecutor
4) Konan King vs Super Konnan
5) Casanova vs Golden Boy

In Tabasco, the Acuario promotion is suspending activity, claiming the local commission, the building owners, and the other local promotion are working together to make it impossible for them to run shows without losing a bunch of money. At least they figured this out and stopped running shows.

indy (MON) 04/02 Auditorio Municipal de Tampico [El Sol de Tampico]
1) Corsario Blanco, Impulso, Loco Castillo b Arana Malgina I, Arana Maligna II, Disturbio
2) Caricia, La Chamagol, La Parkita b Calaquita, Lady Warrior, Lalo El Exotico
3) El Bronco, Hijo de Anibal, Huracan Ramirez b Coco Blanco, Coco Rojo, Coco Verde
4) Groon XXX, Hijo del Santo, Rayo de Jalisco Jr. DQ Blue Demon Jr., Hijo de Anibal, Ice Killer

Hijo de Cien Caras, Cien Caras Jr., and Angel Blanco Jr. were MIA from this card. The newspaper report says they were pulled due to the Santo/CMLL fall out. I’m thinking those three aren’t being booked by CMLL, but would like to be.

LUCHAS 2000 (SAT) 05/05 Arena Mexico [Santo Rey]
1) Cerebro Negro vs Danger, Extreme Tiger, Flash, Freelance, Leono, Mascara Purpura, Mictlan, Super Nova, Texano Jr., Valiente, Virus [ciber]
2) Hijo de Rey Misterio & Rey Misterio Sr. vs Stuka I & Stuka Jr. and Misterioso II & Misterioso Sr. and Volador Jr. & Volador Sr. [torneo]
3) Hijo de Mascara 2000 & Mascara 2000 vs Hijo de Lizmark & Lizmark Sr. and Cien Caras & Hijo de Cien Caras and Rayman & Rayo de Jalisco [torneo]
4) Villano III vs ? [hair]

This is the annual Luchas 2000 show, though they’ve been held at Arena Coliseo previously. I’m not completely sure if that’s supposed to be two different tournaments, or one combined one. It’s a father/son thing, though in some cases that’s not true – the Stukas are brothers, one much younger than other. Hijo de Mascara 2000 is a new (fake?) son of Mascara Ano 2000, not the one who’s been in IWRG. Rayman and Rayo teaming together is interesting – you think it’s possible it’s a new Rayman?

Not sure what the deal is with the main event, if someone’s losing their way in to that spot or what.

Is Dragon still running on the 12th? That’d be back to back three show weekends.

03/13: Coliseo, Tijuana

CMLL

CMLL (SUN) 03/11 Arena Coliseo [cmll]
1) Danger & Trueno b Calígula & Mesala
2) India Sioux, Lady Apache, Luna Magica b La Nazi, Medussa, Rosa Negra
3) Leono, Stuka Jr., Tony Rivera DQ Arkangel de la Muerte, Mogur, Mr. México
4) el Hijo del Pierroth, Pierroth, Shigeo Okumura b La Máscara, Mictlan, Tigre Metalico
5) Damián 666, Halloween, Mr. Águila b Alex Koslov, Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone

Leono won in straight falls, but may have been fouled in both of them. If you’re going to lose in straight falls, that’s the way to go.

STILL NO AAA TAPING RESULTS.

AAA Baja California (THU) 03/08 Auditorio de Tijuana [Halcon]
1) Soark b Bull Rider
2) Angel Mensajero, Camaleon de Oro, R-15 b King Azteca, Pandillero I, Pandillero II
3) Estrellita & Martha Villalobos b Rossy Moreno & Tiffany
4) Super Astro, Tinieblas Sr., Zorro b Fuerza Guerrera, Juventud Guerrera, Zumbido
5) Nicho el Millionario & Rey Misterio Sr. DQ Abismo Negro & Psicosis II
6) Charly Manson, Chessman, Cibernetico DQ El Elegido, La Parka Jr., Octagón

Chessman yanked Parka’s mask for the main event DQ. Abismo accidentally beat up the ref in the semimain. Juvi and Fuerza didn’t get along in their match.

Mundo de Hoy has the Coco Rojo/Super Muenco wrap up
Super Muneco says he couldn’t sleep well for the five days leading to the show. That would seem to be a hazard. Muneco explains he won the match with an arm hold that he created, called la Bikina, which was the name (nickname?) of “a love I lost.” Losing love = debilitating arm hold, I see it.
and a recap of the show – no interview with Coco Rojo?

Grade school teachers are against Guerra de Titanes in Paraguay, thinking watching wrestling has increased adolescent violence.

Guerreros del Ring #78 has Lady Apache.

03/11: Muneco/Coco Rojo, Accion, NJPW

VIP (SAT) 03/10 Salon 21, DF [Notimex]
1) Katito Kung Lee & Voladorcito b Bracito de Plata & Pentagoncito
2) Black Heart, Furia, La Mosca b Caramelo, King Fish, Supernino
3) Lapida & Shu el Guerrero b Axel & Vangelz
4) Mano Negro & Solar I DRAW Black Terry & Negro Navarro
5) Super Muenco b Coco Rojo [mask]

Coco Rojo is Mario Jimenez, 39, of Veracruz. He vows to keep fighting Super Muneco.

Marco Corelone and Universo 2000 will sign contracts on Thursday for a hair/hair match on 03/30. That’s a gigantic step down from Mistico/Perro.

Blue Panther suffered a seven cm tear in a hip muscle, and he’ll be out for three to four weeks.

Ovaciones also says the winner of this year’s Rey de Reyes will be receiving a sword. This sounds like a dangerous idea.

Negro Casas and Texano Jr. in New Japan (Strong Style Spirit)

03/11: Tiger Mask, Koji Kanemoto, Wataru Inoue b Jushin Liger, Negro Casas, Milano Collection AT [Kanemoto beat Milano]
03/11: Minoru b Texano Jr. [IWGP JH]

Negro gets a title shot against Tiger Mask IV next week. He’ll fair no better.

Accion:

CMLL: Marco vs Universo. Univeros seemed fired up here, and we get the DQ beating. The Capos hold Marco and foul him directly in front of the ref, and they’re angry about it. I dunno.

AAA: Latin/Parka/Alebrije/Laredo vs Abismo/Antifaz/Histera/Niebla from Orizaba Spots spots, with Laredo’s ringpost tope con giro being the big spot, and Latin winning clean with a figure four.

03/10: Mexico results, lineups

CMLL (FRI) 03/09 Arena Mexico [ova, ESTO]
1) Molotov & Valiente b Apocalipsis & Caligula
2) Leono, Mictlan, Virus b Dr. X, Ohara, Shigeo Okumura
3) Ephesto, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca b Blue Panther, La Máscara, Sagrado
4) Atlantis, Olímpico, Último Guerrero b Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr., Volador Jr.
5) Alex Koslov, Místico, Rey Bucanero b Averno, Black Warrior, Mephisto
6) Marco Corelone DQ Universo 2000

Marco won the first fall clean, and then won the second fall when Mascara Ano 2000 and Cien Caras ran in and beat him down. (Cien insists he’s not coming back, again.)

Panther suffered a knee injury in the second fall of his match and was taken to the hospital – might be serious.

There was a moment of applause for Black Shadow

More Black Shadow
ESTO
EHIU.com (newswire?) and Ovaciones have articles from his funeral

5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero, Blue Panther vs Averno, Mephisto, Ephesto

Goto is Hirooki Goto – maybe we’ll get to see the new belt?

CMLL (FRI) 03/16 Arena Mexico Lineup
1) Sombra de Plata, Super Nova vs Polvora, Vaquero
2) Dark Angel, Sahori, Luna Magica vs Princesa Sujei, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda

4) Heavy Metal, Volador Jr., Sagrado vs Universo 2000, Atlantis, Sangre Azteca
5) Shocker, Alex Koslov, Marco Corleone vs Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Hector Garza, Damian 666

No Mistico, so they obviously aren’t running Mistico/Perro next week. Or anything major. Sangre in a semimain is cool.

CMLL (SUN) 03/18 Arena Coliseo Lineup
1) Starman, Super Nova, Trueno vs Hooligan, Apocalipsis
2) Felino, Mictlan, Valiente vs Misterioso II, Loco Max, Mr. Mexico
3) Volador Jr., La Mascara, Alex Koslov vs Averno, Mephisto, Ephesto

The way they’ve been airing things lately, that hair match airs on Fox Sports.

02/23 Mexico: Amapola, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda b Dark Angel, India Sioux, Lady Apache
03/04 Coliseo: Olímpico, Pierroth, Universo 2000 b Satanico, Lizmark Jr., Marco Corelone
No unmasked segment – Ultimo Guerrero’s crib

02/24: Demon, Rayo, VIP, Accion, Neza, AULL

Ovaciones reports Blue Demon Jr. and Rayo de Jalisco Jr. will be back in CMLL for some shows in April.

The latest twist on Mistico in San Jose on Tuesday is Rosalio Garcia, who is Mistico’s best friend and traveling partner, was quoted this morning in “El Reforma,” a Mexican newspaper, saying Mistico can’t go to WWE because his visa papers aren’t in order and because he’s booked on Tuesday night in Pachuca. I was told this booking was made by the CMLL office before Mistico told the office he was going to San Jose, so we’ll see. We haven’t heard anything saying he won’t be in San Jose from the WWE side.

Dave Meltzer

El Reforma’s site is for subscribers only, far as I can tell, so no link. People miss the main event of Arena Aficion all the time, so that’s not exactly binding.

VIP (SUN) 03/10 Salon 21, DF
1) King Fish, Caramelo, Supernino vs Furia, La Mosca, Black Heart
2) Axel, Vangelz vs Shu el Guerrero, Lapida
3) Mano Negro, Solar I vs Black Terry, Negro Navarro

4) Hooligan, Ramstein, Skandalo b Rayo Tapaito II, Starman, Trueno
5) Blue Panther, Shocker, Starman DQ Eclipse, Marco Corleone, Ultimo Guerrero

Ramstein fouled Rayo to get the pin in the semimain. Marco, still a rudo here at this point, fouled Shocker for the DQ in the main.

1) Arkanos & Okawa b Black Lancer & Tragedia

5) Blue Demon Jr., Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr. DQ Atlantis, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero

Ultimo fouled Demon and got caught in the main event. Coco Rojo fouled Super Muneco again. Rey Lobo and Cerebro Negro fell apart as a team, Negro costing the match and Rey Lobo beating him after and demanding a mask/hair match.

AAA Villalobos (SAT) 02/17 Plaza de Toros [the gladiaotes]
1) Mascara Magnifica & Super Mascara b Cirujano Loco & Dragon Boy
2) Lady Warrior, Mini Demonio Cibernetico, Super Loco b Buena Nina, La Pulga, Ricochet

4) Rey Krimen, Sepulturero I, Sepulturero II DQ Gallo Tapado Jr., Robin Maravilla, Terry 2000
5) La Mascara, Mictlan, Ultimo Gladiador b Atlantis, Sadico, Sangre Azteca

Still focusing on the Terry 2000/Killer Family feud, with Terry 2000 getting caught here trying a revenge foul.

Accion

CMLL: Main event trios – Lots and lots of Miktico highlights, and then Hector and Mr. Aguila hitting big moves to win.

AAA: Hell Brothers vs Nicho/Head Hunter I/Black Bufalo – Foreign Legion goofy and a Chessman tope. Pepe Casas is checking Copetes, down in the corner, when Cibernetico fouls Nicho and Charly gets the pin.

01/25: Coliseo, Monterrey

CMLL

CMLL (TUE) 01/23 Arena Coliseo Results
1) Artillero, Zayco DQ Espiritu Maligno, Karissma
2) Luna Magica, Princesa Blanca b Medusa, Rosa Negra
3) Leono, Stuka Jr., Virus b Canek Jr., Hooligan, Loco Max
4) Alex Koslov, Pierroth, Skandalo DQ Maximo, Mictlan, Sagrado
5) Heavy Metal, Lizmark Jr., Shocker b Mascara Ano 2000, Olimpico, Universo 2000

Pierroth got DQed for using his belt! That’s amazingly inconsistent but I’m happy about it. Skandalo is a guy who’s work with and opposite CMLL guys on quite a few house shows (most noticeable in Puebla, but elsewhere around the country as well) to the point where I was thinking he was on the roster, but he’d never actually worked Coliseo or Mexico as far as I know. Now he has.

La Cronica de Hoy talks about the VIP show. Much to Robert’s annoyance, the author talks about seeing Turbo in the opener – and she also confused Ultimo Guerrero with Marco Corelone. Good one! If she can be belived, next show is 02/10 and it will have the Coco Rojo/Super Muneco mask match. My favorite part of this article is the author’s picture.

Police in Tijuana have been rearmed – with slingshots. (Thanks to mikeinformer)
