10/03: AAA’s big jump revealed?, IWRG, NWA Mexico

La Orjea had a panel of AAA wrestlers on to discuss whether wrestling is real or fake. According to the article, those on the panel were Octagon, Super Porky, Cibernetico, Mesias, Konnan and Shocker. Yes, Shocker. Perhaps we know who’s the big surprise on Sunday.

If this is correct, that means – as you’ll see below – Shocker not only convinced IWRG to run a multi-week main event angle around he and Zumbido stopping the feud and teaming up again only take off before they actually team up, but Shocker will also be no-showing a charity show to make to AAA TV. Burn, bridges, burn!

BTW, AAA’s time has changed yet again: the website says it’s 2h30m now.

6) Dr. Wagner Jr., Juventud Guerrera, Shocker b Head Hunter I, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Zumbido

Zumbido was turning tecnico during this match, so the rudos pretty much failed. After the match, Zumbido and Shocker announced they were teaming up now and challenged the Jr. Capos for a tag team title shot.

Oficials now hold the IWRG IC and Mexico State trios titles.

Cerebros snuck in fouls on the Gemelos to take the third match.

AAA (TUE) 09/30 Parque Revolucion de Culiacan [noroeste]

Rudos (who had Arturo Rivera with them) snuck in a foul on the Cibernetico. In the triangle tag match, Lider/Nicho were first out. Attendence is listed as 3,000.

AAA (MON) 10/27 Parque Revolucion de Culiacan
1) Octagoncito & Sexy Star vs Mini Abismo Negro & Tiffany
2) Cuervo & Ozz vs Abismo Negro & La Parka Jr.

Again, Abismo and Tiffany showing up.

Tonight: Ovaciones hypes Niebla/Wagner. Someone should! ESTO goes with Panther/UG. Notimex goes with both.

AAA says La Hechicera will be out a month with a leg injury. Good to know that, but out of all the injuries and disappearances in the last six months, they only one they feel like publicizing is La Hechicera.

SoloLuchas talks to Hooligan, who has the most generic future plans possible for a luchador. (He’s like to win something! He’d like to move up the card!) His son, a fan of rock music, came up with the idea for the gimmick. Hooligan also celerbates the Santos winning the championship. This article finds a way to mention La Alianza, so Cesar Cruz Garcia must be a lurker in the comments. There’s no other way.

NWA Mexico gets some decent coverage: Luchando Libre explains the concept of the NWA. Blue Demon Jr. hypes up the show in ESTO, also mentioning that Santo’s not coming back until December (they’re worried about oversaturation.) SoloLuchas starts their article this way, according to the translation

The day after the Blue Demon got rid of a group of zombies who had a sunny kindergarten near his gallery and withstood the charms of female vampire that bothered him all night

NWA Mexico president is a tough job!

Gato Eveready & Hijo del Pirata Morgan will be on the Deportes 830 station at 8pm on Sunday.

Luchando Libre writes about Dos Caras Jr. going to WWE.

SuperLuchas posts video of Argentina’s 100% Lucha and about Campeones de Lucha Libre. SoloLuchas talks to Dragon Rojo Jr. talks about the movie. “They should not think that the film is based on my life, but rather represents an adventure that many of us, both wrestlers and fans at some point in our lives we imagined when we were kids.”

The Gladiatores also catches up with former wrestler Bello Adan/the Rose, who’s now a mask seller outside of Arena Mexico, and had photos from the DF New Wrestler Licensing Evalutation from Arena Coliseo.

CMLL (MON) 10/06 Arena Puebla
1) Lestat & Toro Bill vs Espiritu Maligno & Zigma
2) Bam Bam, Fantasy, Último Dragoncito vs Fire, Mr. Aguilita, Pequeño Black Warrior
3) Axxel, Flash, Metalik vs Skandalo, Vangelis, Virus
4) Hijo del Fantasma, La Máscara, Volador Jr. vs Mr. Niebla, Rey Bucanero, Sangre Azteca
5) Dos Caras Jr., Héctor Garza, Marco Corelone vs Atlantis, Negro Casas, Último Guerrero

You know, being this is CMLL, I wouldn’t be totally surprised if Dos just worked that show anyway. But I’m thinking not.

A play opening up tonight in Xalapa: Mascara contra cabellera.

03/19: Leono/Mogur, Mistico, Monterrey

Ovaciones says Leono beat Mogur in a 15 minute match to win his hair.

The Observer had an update about Mistico. Apparently, Rey Misterio Jr. found out WWE wasn’t going after them, and tried to convince them to change their minds. WWE is thinking about it again, but it’s “less than 50%”. WWE believes they can break Mistico out of his contract if they wanted to and took some time, but they figure they’d have to spend even more time having him learn the US style (and changing everything about him that made him a success in the first place) and they don’t seem to be interested in something that would take a while.

Luchas 2000 has the truth about Mistico, which is probably outdated by now.

indy (SUN) 03/18 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]

2) La Bella & La Bestia b Apostol & La Bandida

The reporter was annoyed with the (lack of) quality of the main event. They did the quickie mask match bit with Octagon and Antifaz, which didn’t help. Why does anyone do that bit?

Super Luchas #21 is about hardcore Mexican wrestling.
