07/23: Coliseo, Monterrey

CMLL

CMLL (SUN) 07/22 Arena Coliseo [ova, Alvin @ el Martinete]
1) Astro Boy & Trueno b Jeque & Méssala
2) Lady Apache, Marcela, Sahori b Amapola, Hiroka, La Seductora
3) Nosferatu, Satánico, Virus b Fabián el Gitano, Leono, Tony Rivera
4) Felino, Heavy Metal, La Máscara b Emilio Charles Jr., Hirooki Goto, Shigeo Okumura
5) Alex Koslov, Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr. b Terrible, Villano III, Villano V
6) Rey Bucanero b Atlantis [CMLL LH]

Ovaciones says the title match went near 30 minutes. (So, what, 15 whistle to fall?) Wagner worked as a tecnico.

CMLL (SUN) 07/29 Arena Coliseo
1) Sensei & Trueno vs Jeque & Vaquero
2) Metalico, Super Nova, Tigre Blanco vs Apocalipsis, Dr. X, Ramstein
3) Dark Angel, Diana la Cazadora, Marcela vs Amapola, La Nazi, Princesa Sujei
4) La Mascara, Sombra, Tony Rivera vs Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca, Virus
5) Alex Koslov, Marco Corelone, Negro Casas vs Atlantis, Olimpico, Toscano

Notimex talked to Mistico after Friday’s tag title match, who’s saying the boos he’s getting lately in Arena Mexico don’t bother him and in fact, give him the energy to defeat Dr. Wagner. I read a companion interview with Dr. Wagner promising revenge, but I can’t find the link.

The clips from Tuesday Coliseo are up @ DeporTV America’s site.

AAA (SUN) 07/22 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]
1) Mercurio b Aguila Extrema
2) Barba Roja, Hijo del Pirata Morgan, Pirata Morgan Jr. b Iron, Ramses (Monterrey), Rey Infernal

Building was 75% full.

CMLL (SUN) 07/22 Gimnasio Nuevo Leon [RFC]

1) Bengala & Maravilla vs Damian el Inmortal & Destroyer

4) Estruendo, Maximo, Valiente vs Emperador, Texano Jr., Virus
5) Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Groon XXX vs Atlantis, Toscano, Ultimo Guerrero

Sombra de Plata dropping the gimmick because of La Sombra? Flecha dropping his hair as he continues his downward spiral into being just another obscure indy guy? I don’t know!

AULL (SUN) 07/29 Arena Lopez Mateos
1) Sombera Escarlata vs Demonio Gato
2) Prince Star & Spider Boy vs Mini Rebelde & Pequeno Demonio
3) ?, Hakoon, Star Cat vs Basfemia, Chico del Barrio, Herejia

7) Konan Big vs Super Konan, Konan King, Konan Gay [cage, name]

This is the battle to determine the only Konnan. In Arena Coliseo Monterrey. For now.

Magazines
* Super Luchas #222 has recaps of Mistico and Negro regaining the title, and Santo winning Cassandro’s hair in FCW.
* Super Luchas Grafico #24 is an TripleMania flip book. They’ve got more on the NOAH/AAA show in there.
* Box Y Lucha #2828 has Mistico ripping Wagner’s mask.

05/15: Mistico still not wrestling, Monterrey

El Sol del Baijo

CMLL (TUE) 05/15 Palenque de la Feria de Celaya [El Sol del Baijo]
1) Bam Bam & Ultimo Dragonicto b Mini Damian 666 & Mini Halloween
2) Dark Angel & Lady Apache b Amapola & Princesa Sujei
3) Blue Demon Jr., La Mascara, Volador Jr. b Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila

Mistico did NOT wrestle, but did appear to explain his injury and sign autographs for a half hour. Looks like he’s out of the sling, at least for this picture.

indy (TUE) 05/15 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]
1) Burrico & Mini Tequila b Burrito & Mini Burrito
2) Hollywood & Toro Blanco b Black Sabath & Corazon Adicto
3) Gitano del Norte, Mr. Vega, Rey Hechicero b Bengali, Black Soul, Cats
4) Chuy Oviedo, Ejecutor, Pancho Tequila b Angel del Amor, Golden Boy, La Kalaka
5) 5X, Apostol, Tigre Universitario b Anibal el Vampiro, Memo Valles, Silver Star
6) Sky L Konnan Big, Casanova, Vudu [hair]

Konnan Big beat Sky, who wasn’t listed in the original match lineup.

Universion/Galavision’s press release about it’s next season includes a paragraph on lucha libre

“Lucha Libre” and “Lucha de Vuelta” Some of the best known wrestlers in the AAA and CMLL confederations bring their trademarked acrobatic moves and colorful costumed antics into the ring every weekend on Galavisión. (Saturday, 2:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m., and Sunday, 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. ET/PT)

I wouldn’t read anything into the CMLL mention. Probably the same blurb they use every year. “Confederations”? I guess if few people are under contract, that’s actually correct.

Wrestlers in Coahuila are complaining about the lack of insurance and movement on that issue. No quotes from the promoters or the commissioners or any sign of contacting them, despite both being ripped here.

Sentidog has a review of a move called Super Amigos, a documentary on social conscious lucha libre wrestlers as super heroes. Super Barrio, Super Animal, Fray Tormenta, Ecologista Universal, and Super Gay are profiled.

No Coliseo results. No IWRG website.

03/14: Puebla, Coliseo, IWRG, Monterrey, Torreon, Santo

CMLL

Fishman chats on Boy Y Lucha’s site tomorrow.

Perro Aguayo Jr. wants to make a documentary of Perro Aguayo. (ovaciones)

CMLL (MON) 03/12 Arena Puebla [hugo999]
1) Blue Center & Super Star b Mafia & Mr. Rafaga
2) Centella de Oro, SWAT, the Tiger DQ Ares, Fuerza Chicana, Siki Osama
3) Fabian el Gitano, Stuka Jr., Valiente b Arkangel, Cerebro Negro, Kraken
4) Felino, Heavy Metal, Valiente b Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila
5) Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr., Marco Corelone DQ Olimpico, Terrible, Universo 2000

Valiente filled in for Ogun in the semifinal. Terrible replaced Black Warrior in the main event.

CMLL (TUE) 03/13 Arena Coliseo
1) Rayo Tapatio I & Rayo Tapatio II b Artillero & Super Comando
2) Amapola, La Nazi, Rosa Negra b India Sioux, Lady Apache, Marcela
3) Goto, Ohara, Okumura b Brillante, Valiente, Virus
4) Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila b Felino, La Mascara, Maximo
5) Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto b Blue Panther, Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero

Someone liked the idea of outside teammate help to win tonight – it happened in the women’s match (Amapola pinning Apache with some help from La Nazi) and it happened in the main event (Averno getting the win with help from Mephisto.)

IWRG (SUN) 03/11 Arena Naucalpan
1) Aguila Oriental b Sasaki
2) Macho II & Vampiro Metálico b Antaris & Ave Fenix
3) Trauma I, Trauma II, Vampiro Metalico b Kai, Kid Tiger, Yamato
4) Bestia Salvaje, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Pierroth Jr. b El Dandy, Esfinge, Suicida
5) Cerebro Negro DQ Black Terry [hair]

Pierroth Jr. interfered in the main event, costing fellow rudo Black Terry his hair. That’s gotta suck. Bestia fouled Dandy to pick up the win in the semifinal. Bestia wants a title match, Dandy wants a hair match. Traumas cheated to beat Kid Tiger in the tercera.

indy (TUE) 03/13 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [rfc]
0) Mascara Negra & Mr. Cuervo b Black Thunder & Reggaeton
1) Borrico b Angel Negro
2) Hollywood b Black Nazi
3) Golden Boy b Ejecutor
4) Humberto Garza Jr. b Al Barone
5) Hijo de Anibal & Konan Big DQ Hijo del Solitario & Pancho Tequila

Anibal faked a foul from Solitario.

indy (SUN) 03/18 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [rfc]
1) Borrico & Tequilita vs Burrito & Mini Burrito
2) La Bella & La Bestia vs La Bandida & Loco Tormenta
3) Angel Negro, Hollywood, Silver Star vs Al Barone, Black Nazi, La Sombra
4) Nygma, Picudo, Silver Cat vs Black Dragon, Huracan Ramirez Jr., Ultraman Jr.
5) Axel vs Hijo de Espanto [FILL MIDDLE]
6) Konnan Big, Laro, Pancho Tequilla vs Casanova, Golden Boy, Humberto Garza Jr.

Konnan Big appears to be calling himself Super Konnan now. Hijo de Esapnto was the champ before Axxel (and before he and Konnan Big passed it back and forth), so this is his rematch for the belt.

indy (THU) 03/15 Deportivo Lee Roy
1) Sepultura & Shuriken vs Black Bull & Terrorista
2) Dark Saint & Rey Tempestad vs Chakor & Vengador
3) Cirucs & Payasito vs Latino Jr. & Muerte Negra
4) Arana Cibernetica & Arana del Futuro vs Rey Halcon & Vaquero Salazar
5) Centella Azul Jr. & Junior Halcon vs Moro Jr. & Psycho

JUNIORS (SUN) 03/18 Arena Coliseo San Luis Potosi
1) Gronda XXX & Super Tri vs Halcon Dorado Jr. & Ice Killer
2) Breack Demon vs Mensajero, Fleachdor Justiciero, Pantera Silva, Creazy Star, Bat Boy, Tigre del Ring, Coyote Azul [trofeo Arena Coliseo 2007]
3) Coyote Azul Jr. & Lagarto vs Asesino Maldito & Tromba

This sounds like a new promotion taking over the building, though I thought people were promoting with the JUNIORS name in SLP already. Maybe that’s some place else.

Santo wants to open Santo stores in Tokyo and LA in 2007. He tells the story of negotating the contract with Cartoon Network – he wore his mask, and he asked if they had negotated in person with the Powerpuff Girls. Santo notes that he’s different.

EHUI writes about a show that’ll have lucha libre and kickboxing matches.

Zocalo writes about a Monclova female wrestler named Lilit. There are no other local women wrestlers, so she’s wrestling with the men.

New magazine Lucha Libre had Huracan Ramirez on issue #1 and Ultimo Guerrero on #2.

While in India to hype WWE shows, it looks like Rey Mysterio outsourced his gimmick. (Thanks to mikeinformer).

Ask A Mexican explains lucha masks:

My theory? Masks are cool. As great as El Santo — Mexico’s most famous wrestler — was in the ring, he became an icon mostly because of a luminous silver mask that accompanied him through dozens of films and even into the afterlife. Masks allow wearers to bend societal norms and participate in activities that proper Mexicans would frown upon, like lucha libre or hatching a revolution in the Chiapan jungles. Without those masks, the wearer is just another Mexican — and who wants to be that?

KrisZ’s AAA results get their own post in a bit.

Shocking, I know.

Magazines – everyone’s doing Black Shadow covers this week, naturally
Super Luchas 203 (includes a photo of Goto with the belt)
Box Y Lucha #2809 and Alternate Cover with Mistico

Lots of articles about Shadow over the weekend as well – jornada has one.

Fray Tormenta received a tribute in LA this weekend – I think this was the non-FMLL show.

Tijuana referee Angel Reyes retired on last Thursday’s show. He’s been a referee for over 25 years. He was awarded a plaque for distinguished work by the commission.

01/30: Puebla, Monterry

CMLL

CMLL (MON) 01/29 Arena Puebla Results [hugo999
1) Forajido, Super Star b La Mafia, Mr. Rafaga

4) Blue Panther, Heavy Metal, Ultimo Dragon b Alex Koslov, Atlantis, Olimpico
5) Mistico, Negro Casas, Volador Jr. b Averno, Mephisto, Ultimo Guerrero

Maniacop beat Texano Jr. in the tercera. They’ve been feuding for the last three weeks, and this sets up a hair match next week.

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.

They have a super heavyweight title? According to the followup post, Konnan Big never won the FILL title back from Rayo – I could’ve sworn he did.

Tickets are from $2 to $23 US.

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)
