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 PlataCamorraZayco
2) ElectricoPequeño OlímpicoShockercitoPequeño Damian 666Pequeño ViolenciaSombrita
3) Lady ApacheMarcelaSahoriPrincesa BlancaPrincesa SujeiRosa Negra
4) Hector GarzaHijo del FantasmaToscanoEphestoMisterioso IITerrible
5) ShockerUltimo 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.)

11/22: IWRG, AAA, Santo


(iwrg.com)

Nothing on either Coliseo show. Nothing more on the AAA results. I do now know what the deal was with the Virus/Mascara Purpura match ending early on Monday – a recap in La Prensa says Mascara Purpura hurt his arm on a dive.

Kenzo/Rey is a bonus match for Sunday. CMLL’s story explanation is their match in Puebla and their earlier face offs in matches were just so good, they needed to do one more time. It’s not a title match.

IWRG (THU) 11/16 Arena Naucalpan Results
1) Halcon Salvaje, Kid Tiger b Avisman, Black Stone
2) Ave Fenix, Kung Fu Jr., Turbo b Comando Gama, Fantasma de la Opera, Macho II
3) Bacteria, Freelance b Black Jaguar, Comando Mega
This turned out not to be a stakes match, but maybe next week.
4) Dr. Cerebro, Suicida, Villano III b Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Negro Navarro, Pierroth II
5) Cerebro Negro, Mistico, Sagrado b Misterioso II, Nitro, Veneno

AAA (THU) 11/23 Plaza de Toros La Comitecia Lineup [El Heraldo de Chipas]
1) Mini Chessman, Jerrito Estrada vs Mascarita Sagrada, Mascarita Divina
2) Nemesis AAA, Super Fly, Rey Cometa vs Drake, Pirata Morgan Jr., Barba Roja
3) Dizzy vs Gran Demon [mask]
4) Intocable, Octagon, Aliado vs Alan Stone, Pirata Morgan, Abismo Negro

I know a mask match is supposed to be a big deal, but this is more interesting to me for NEMESIS VS NEMESIS. It’d be better if we knew which guy was Nemesis IWRG – I think I may just decide that’s Drake for record keeping purposes.

CMLL.com also says the Monday Arena Mexico show was great, and Electroshock (re)debut was big. Uh huh. The Notimex notes that the Satanico, Electroshock, Silver King was booed, particularly Electroshock.

El Universal has an interview with El Santo. He says a US movie person called him, wanting to make a Santo movie, and put Bruce Willis in the role – and Santo immediately shot him down, because he’s Santo. Santo claims he’s 34, which either means luchawiki is wrong and he started wrestling at nine, or he’s lying! Or maybe it’s just a typo, but that’s less sensational.
