Guadalajara, Rojo & Escorpion done with the Guerreros, Marvin & Crazy

CMLL (SUN) 10/07/2012 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Cancha, El Occidental (4), El Occidental (5), Informador]
1) El Yaki b Demonio Rojo
2) Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno b Halcón de Plata & Sky Kid
3) Eros, Esfinge, Exterminador b Espectrum, In Memoriam, Leo [Relevos Increíbles]
4) Gallo & Smaker b El Bárbaro & Maléfico
Tecnicos took 1/3.
5) Hijo del Fantasma, La Sombra, Máscara Dorada b Dragón Rojo Jr., Mephisto, Misterioso Jr.
Tecnicos took 2/3, Fantasma landing his lariat on Dragon Rojo.

There probably was something coming out of the tercera – besides the unusual sides, it was Eros’ first match since April – but no one mentions anything.

Dragon Rojo & Rey Escorpion told Kaiser Sports that they’re done with Ultimo Guerrero and Los Guerreros. Ultimo was holding them back, taking credit for their work, and recruiting members without consulting them. They both pointed to Dragon Rojo being double champion as proof they don’t need Ultimo Guerrero. They don’t have a name for their new group and are open to suggestions. Right now, they’d like a tag match against Guerrero & Euforia and, after they destroy them, they’re moving right on to the tag team titles.

Dark Angel says she’s working the Tuesday show in Guadalajara. Hooray!

LuchaMonterrey has footage of the Llaves y Candados explaining the Rayo de Jalisco Jr. no-show. Very stand up of them to come to the ring and explain it in front of the fans.

Llaves y Candados announced their next big show will be 10/21, with Perro Aguyao Jr.  & Teddy Hart vs La Parka & Jack Evans as the main event and more AAA wrestlers in the undercard. Match gets five stars if Parka tries to break dance.

AAA is teasing what must be a site redesign for Thursday with a countdown clock on their webpage. The last page seemed like it was a site only intended to be used for TripleMania but forced into use full time when the previous site disappeared. I can not make fun of anyone for redesigning their site when this one looks as it does.

Crazy Boy is teasing the DTU Anniversary shows as his return to the ring. They’ve been setting up that direction for a little bit.

I am told there is a possible exciting video of Euforia playing football americano at this link, but we in the US are blocked from seeing the 2 minute clip. Surely United States copyright law and world territory rights would break down if I was able to see this footage.

La Pantera wants a shot at Angelica’s LLF title.

Lucha Libre in Japan

10/07 WNC: Hijo del Pantera wrestled in the main event, but the promotion hasn’t posted results. Let’s assume he won!

10/07 NOAH: Ricky Marvin & Super Crazy [O] b Marshall Von Erich & Ross Von Erich [X]

10/08 NOAH: Super Crazy [O] & Ricky Marvin b Taiji Ishimori & Atsushi Kotoge [X] [GHC JR TAG] – 1st defense
Crazy is listed as winning with the “Sorpresa”. It definitely is a Sorpresa to see him coming back to Mexico with one half of the tag belts. If Ricky really is coming to Mexico later this year, perhaps they’ll get a chance to defend it on home soil before returning to NOAH.

NJPW first iPPV outside of Japan took place early this morning. It sounds like there were some technical difficulties processing orders, but they aired the show free until it was all sorted and most people were happy with the quality of the feed (and very happy with the quality of matches.) If NJPW is happy with how the business side turned out, it’s possible this is the start of regular broadcasts. It’d be neat novelty to see CMLL guys in Japan in miscellaneous matches (the matches they’re usually in!), The hope here is this worked out well enough that NJPW doesn’t just do it for next year’s big show on 01/04 in the Tokyo Dome, but for the NJPW/CMLL FantasticMania 2013 shows which will take place later that month. Those are something I’d wake up at 4AM and spend $25 on.

CMLL (TUE) 05/24/2011 Arena Mexico [CMLL, Record (1-2, 4-5), Record (3)]
1) Camorra & Zayco b Camaleón & Robin
2) Leono, Metálico, Metatrón b Bronco, Semental, Súper Comando
Tecnicos took 1/3.
3) Guerrero Maya Jr. b Palacio Negro, Rey Cometa, Hijo del Signo, Magnus, Inquisidor, Hombre Bala Jr., Trueno [CMLL SL, tournament]
Eliminations were Trueno (via Inquisidor), Hombre Bala Jr. (Magnus), Inquisidor (Hijo del Signo), Magnus (Rey Cometa), Hijo del Signo (Palacio Negro), Rey Cometa (Guerrero Maya), Palacio Negro (Guerrero Maya). Guerrero Maya used a move that sure looks a lot like a martinete on Palacio Negro, but no DQ was called. Palacio was stretchered out after the match.
4) Mephisto, Shigeo Okumura, Yoshihashi b Delta, Hijo del Fantasma, Metal Blanco
Mephisto and Fantasma are suddenly back to feuding, how about that. Not that it’s going well for Fantasma: Mephisto ripped up the tecnico’s mask in the second fall and pinned him in the third.
5) Máximo, Rush, Strong Man DQ Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Volador Jr.
Rudos took the first, tecnicos the second, Volador fouled Rush in the third.

CMLL (TUE) 05/24/2011 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Thunder Boy b Acertijo
2) Magnum & Virgo b Exterminador & Ráfaga
3) Goya Kong, Luna Mágica, Marcela b Amapola, La Comandante, Mima Shimoda
Goya Kong top rope splash on La Comandante.
4) Ephesto, Rey Escorpion, Vangelis b Diamante, Metro, Sangre Azteca
Rey Scorpion unmasked Metro and rolled him up for the win. They agreed to a singles match next week.
5) Black Warrior & La Sombra DQ Felino & Mr. Niebla
Niebla did make the show, and fouled Sombra for the DQ.

Crazy Boy is putting Violento Jack in charge of making the lineup for next DTU show. It sounded like they were plugging the card on TerceraCaiada yesterday afternoon (Flamita vs Atomic Boy), and Pesadilla talk about his match: a four way with Ultimo Gladiador, Zumbi and Sick Boy.

Perros del Mal have a new website: http://www.perrosdelmal.com.mx. It seems a bit half finished (some of the links don’t work), but it looks nice and it’s better than the nothing they’ve had before.

NJPW’s Best of Super Juniors tour is kicking off tomorrow (really early in the morning here.) Mascara Dorada’s opening match is the one he’s most familiar with, Jushin Lyger. We’ll probably have a good idea how this is going to go for Dorada after that match.

LA Park wants the fans to know he did not agree to lose his mask in exchange to return to AAA. I hope he’s letting AAA know that.

Air Date
Mex: 07/22 – this was a 5 hour show live, so I still think there’s a possibility they split it.
US: 08/11

The following is cribbing heavily from Medio Tempo‘s report, because they’ve got the only detailed account I’ve seen. I’ve bolded a couple of changes I’ve noticed from early reports. You can read prior TripleMania coverage (live, and day after) elsewhere on this webpage.

Charly Manson exited the cage first, followed by X-Pac. X-Pac and Konnan teamed up to lay out Charly on the outside, and set up a whole bunch of tables. Mesias started to escape, Chessman went after him, and that’s when Chessman took the huge bump off the cage to the tables. This left Kenzo and Cibernetico inside. Mesias tried to help by blowing fire at Cibernetico, but Kenzo got it instead, and that lead to the pin.

Konnan got in a cheap shot on Zorro which lead to the Rikishi pin in the semimain. It sounds like Zorro being stretchered out was storyline (selling the Bonzai Drop) while Parka being stretchered out might or might not have been (landed on his bad shoulder while taking a bump for a Sabu move.)

Sangre Chicana and Octagon did work as seconds in the Guerrera v Guerrera battle. Tirantes was the ref, so you can figure how this went early. Octagon did indeed get tied to the ropes to prevent him from helping, and the comeback started with Pepe Casas coming out to cut him free. Somehow in the battle, Sangre Chicana was locked in ambulance to prevent him from interfering, and Juvi pinned Fuerza with Pepe Casas counting. Fuerza offered a handshake post match, but Juvi refused and walked off with Octagon. Juvi should totally decide to be Octagon Jr. now.

In the notLadder match, Extreme Tiger (second) set up Scoria (second) on a table on the floor and went to the top rope to put him thru, but Ozz shoved Extreme Tiger off, and Tiger hit the floor. The table remained unbroken, so Cuervo set up Lider on the table and did hit his dive thru the table, but Lider and Cuervo were hurt in the process. Crazy Boy overcame took out Escoira and Ozz, winning with a (wait for it) chair assisted flying move to Mexican Powers win the tag titles.

Box Y Lucha?/unmasked Super Calo

The Relevos Incredible matchup ended up being Gran Apache & Laredo Kid vs Super Fly & Super Calo, so it was change of plans. Apache & Calo opted to work it like they were tag partners early on, beating down the Fuerza Aerea duo. Somewhere in here, Laredo Kid missed a dive on Calo, but was all right (relatively.) Like recent AAA tag matches, this was one fall to a finish (not elimination style), so when Apache beat Super Fly, it was over.

The Super Fly vs Super Calo match was held after the ladder match and the Guerreras match. Super Calo was revealed to be Rafael Garcia of DF, 15 year wrestler. They did a bit with Alan Stone consoling him to set up the new alliance.

Alebrije & Cuije beat Scorpio Jr. & Guaptio with planchas to win that match.

Alfa beat Oriental with a Dragon Suplex to win the opener. Oriental was KOed in the process.

Lita performed after the show. Ricky Marvin was announced as coming in September.

05/26 AAA TV Taping Lineup (Minatitlan, Veracruz)

Air Date
Mex: 06/03
US: 06/23

I would say there’s a 99.999% chance the mystery man teaming with the Sect is Extreme Tiger, making his debut. I think we’re much more likely to be headed towards Crazy Boy and Joe Lider completing a title swap and getting the tag team titles rather than adding people to Mexican Powers. If that’s the plan, you can work backwards and see Psicosis II wasn’t needed for the group longer, and Juvi can just wander off his own way (as he tends to do.) Obviously, this match will go back for the MPs.

That’s quite the random collection of tecnicos in the semifinal. Elsewhere, we’re just ticking along as usual – I think we already fulfilled our plot developments for this month.

Have they announced anything for June yet?

05/20 AAA TV Taping Result (Morelia, Michoacan)

Previous: 04/30, 05/06, 05/12

AAA TV (SUN) 05/20 Plaza de Toros Palacio del Arte de Morelia, Michoacan
1) Jerrito Estrada & Mini Histeria b Mascarita Divina & Sombrita Azul
2) Payaso Negro I, Payaso Negro II, Payaso Negro III b Gallego, Mr. C�ndor, Toxico AAA
3) Aero Star, Pegasso, Rey Cometa, Super Fly b Alan, Decnnis, Gran Apache, Super Calo

5) Kenzo Suzuki, Psicosis II, X-Pac b Intocable, Laredo Kid, Zorro
6) Cibernetico b El Mesias

Air Date
Mex: 05/27
US: 06/16

The big angle on the show was Psicosis II turning on his partners, giving the win and the Atomico titles to the Sect. Post match, Prez Roldan appeared to fire Psicosis from AAA for betrayed them, but naturally he just joined the opposition forces. AAA’s recap notes it’s unclear if he’s meant to be a Viper or a member of the Sect.

I guess they could still break Juvi off down the road, but I don’t think this is a last minute switch – if/when Juvi splits, he’s still got to be a tecnico to feud with Fuerza. I’m not quite sure how/when/if that’ll go down.

Psicosis stuck around to wrestle in the next match, because Abismo (and Mini Abismo) were missing from the show. Rudos stole that match. Main event had the Sect helping out Mesias, Chessman in Cibernetico’s corner not being quite enough, and La Parka Jr. and Zorro running out to help Cibernetico win. So they’re still all allied. If this was a US group, I’d think they’d be setting up some War Games like match; maybe here, we’re heading to a big multi man stips match.

Once again, the Air Force/Barrio Boys match got switched to an eight man – they seem to be pushing Alan, Decnnis, Apache and Super Calo as a new unit (or a new version of the Barrio Boys.) At least Rey Cometa made this match. Rudos were on their way to the win when Laredo Kid ran into help his side to a win. That seems unfair.

No names given to the evil clowns, though we know they won. Mascarita Sagrada and, as previous stated, Mini Abismo were missing from the opener. Mini Histeria gave Divina a martiente to sneak a win.

03/18 AAA TV Lineup (Rey de Reyes)

02/23 (results), 03/03 (lineup), 03/10 (lineup)

Let me be the last person to report this…

AAA’s confirmed who’s going to be in the Rey de Reyes match, and it matches the lineup that was circulating around, as does the main event, so I figure this is as much confirmation as we can expect to get that the lineup is correct, 16 days out.

Updated on 03/05: AAA Tag Tournament finalists are announced.

AAA TV (SUN) 03/18 El Toreo De Naucalpan [Mario Rivera @ box y lucha foro]
1) Mascaraita Sagrada, Octagoncito, Mascarita Divina vs Mini Abismo Negro, Mini Chessman, Mini Charly Manson
2) Crazy Boy & Joe Lider vs Joe Lider & Crazy Boy vs Super Fly & Pegasso vs Alan Stone & Zumbido [AAA TAG]
3) Billy Boy vs Apache [hair]
4) Super Porky, Zorro, Alebrije vs Antifaz, Histeria, Mr. Niebla
5) Abismo Negro vs Latin Lover vs La Parka Jr. vs Rhyno vs Octagon vs Fuerza Guerrera [Rey de Reyes]
6) Cibernetico, Chessman, Charly Manson vs Scott Steiner, Kenzo Suzuki, ?

AAA is/was trying to get Kurt Angle for that last main event spot, but the price for him is/was too high.

Rey Misterio Jr. is scheduled to appear in a non-wrestling capacity. WWE’s supposedly is aware that he’s going to be appearing on a show with TNA guys and is supposedly okay with this. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Thinking about it now – if the Dark Family is facing the Mexican Powers before this show in a non-tournament match, obviously it ought to be Ozz & Cuervo as the other team in the tag final.

Now: Top four finishers move on. I guess I was right, with one of my five hundred guesses.
