08/03: (old) Tijuana, Oaxaca

The Gladiatores #49 has a double issue, with IWRG, Tijuana, Villalobos and other stuff. I’d wish they list the date for all the shows – the Rey de Reyes are date unknown – but maybe that’s just important for my purposes.

CMLL (SUN) 07/15 Auditorio de Tijuana [the Gladiatores]
1) Mascara Negra b Conde Murcielago
2) Black Spider, Cinico, Hadez b Calavera, Deja Vu, Mr. Maldito
3) Extasis, Silver Star, Star Boy b Kid Azteca, Pandillero I, Pandillero II
4) El Camaleon, Hijo de Rey Misterio, Rey Misterio b Atlantis, Blue Panther, Sangre Azteca
5) Damián 666, Halloween, Mr. Águila b Alex Koslov, Rey Bucanero, Sagrado

Semimain set up a Sangre Azteca title defense vs Hijo de Rey Misterio, though I don’t know the date.

BAJA STAR (FRI) 07/20 Auditorio de Tijuana [the Gladiatores]
1) Army & Pitbull b Black Leather & Rey Divino
2) Deja Vu & Eclipse (TJ) b Mr. Maldito & Tucan
3) La Ola del Terror b Colibri, Kimura, Ninja
4) Ricochet b Shamu [BAJA AMERICAS]
5) ?, Arandu, Mortiz b Hijo del Kiss, Kiss, Kiss Jr.
6) Electro Shock, Pierroth Jr., Super Parka b Incógnito, LA Park, Rayman

That’s a title change. They’re setting up to a trios hair match in the semimain.

CMLL (WED) 08/01 Domo de la Feria de Leon [am.com.mx]
3) Heavy Metal, Místico, Rey Bucanero DQ Averno, Máscara Año 2000, Tarzan Boy

Article says show sold out. Averno replaced Ephesto, and tossed his mask at Mistico to draw the DQ in the second fall, so Mistico paid him back by doing the same in the third.

CMLL (SAT) 08/04 Ciudad de la Canteras, Oaxaca
1) Challenger Jr., Fantasma Blanco Jr., Rey Lobo b Endeavor, Jungla 3000, Vuleo Espacial
2) Lady Apache & Luna Magica b Hiroka & Mima Shimoda
3) Shockercito & Ultimo Dragoncito b Mini Violencia & Pierrothito
4) Mephisto b Mictlan, Super Comando, Artillero, Averno, Ephesto, Leono, Mascara Purpura, Sombra de Plata, Flash, Starman, Valiente [ciber]
5) Mistico & Sagrado DQ Mr. Aguila & Perro Aguayo Jr.

[Noticas Oaxaca]

In the main event, a fan passed Perro a cane, which he used to win the first fall. Perro fouled Mistico in the third. The counted the pin, but only to get Perro off of Mistico, awarding the match to Mistico. Cibernetico came down to Leono, Averno, and Mephisto. Surprisingly, Leono was eliminated, and Averno & Mephisto celebrating like they’d won. Nope, they were forced into fighting each other, and Mephisto came out on top.

CMLL (MON) 08/06 Arena Puebla
1) Blue Center, Forajido, Zigma vs Aguila Guerrera, Espiritu Maligno, Mr. Rafaga
2) Coco Blanco, Coco Rojo, Coco Verde vs Blade, Siki Osama Jr., Skandalo
3) Lady Apache, Luna Magica, Marcela vs Amapola, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda
4) La Sombra, Sagrado, Volador Jr. vs Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero vs Atlantis, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero

Ovaciones and ESTO talked this week about the CMLL Minis celebrating 15 years of existance. I believe they played a soccer game in celebration, and that needs to be on the internet. I just want to know what rudo schemes Mini Familiar de Tijuana cooked up to cheat.

El Diario NY talks about lucha libre, seemingly to hype up AAA on the Warped Tour. We’ll have to see how this goes in the long run, but I think the idea of putting AAA guys on this tour to gain some public awareness is working. It’s no huge deal, but little write ups in papers as they go thru the country is worth losing access to Decnnis for a couple months.

At Lo Mejor de Lucha Libre Caballero Lee rips Tuesday’s ACM show.

07/30: Coliseo, Monterrey, Neza

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

Amapola beat Marcela again, so they agreed to a title match next week. In the semimain, Virus and Tony Rivera challenged each other to a hair match. That match apparently will actually happen, though it’s not clear if it’ll be this week or next. CMLL did post next Sunday’s card, but it’s the version with a placeholder dummy match instead of either singles match.

CMLL (SUN) 08/05 Arena Coliseo
1) Cadaver de Cielo I & Cadaver de Cielo II vs Anima del Convento I & Anima del Convento II
2) Angel Azteca Jr. & Molotov vs Vaquero & Zayco
3) Stuka Jr., Super Nova, Valiente vs Euforia, Nosferatu, Satanico
4) Heavy Metal, La Mascara, Maximo vs Averno, Mephisto, Sangre Azteca
5) Dos Caras Jr., Mistico, Volador Jr. vs Atlantis, Olimpico, Toscano

Ovaciones also complains about Jeque’s push.

indy (SUN) 07/29 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [rfc]
1) Aguila Extrema & Iron Extreme b Akido & Mercurio
2) Iron & Ramses b Barba Roja & Hijo del Pirata Morgan [super libre]
3) Alan, Rey Infernal, Super Calo b Chiva Rayada, Latin Boiler, Xtreme Tiger [bull terrier]
4) Hator & Monje Negro Jr. b Pirata Morgan & Pirata Morgan Jr. [seconds hair]
5) Antifaz & X-Pac b Intocable & Tinieblas Jr.

Fans got their heads shaved, not Arturo Rivera. As if there was going to be another finish.

CMLL (SAT) 07/28 Arena Neza
1) Bacteria & Sakura b ? & Rey Mariscal
2) Pequeño Violencia & Pierrothito b Electrico & Shockercito
3) Luna Magica & Sahori b La Seductora & Rosa Negra
4) Fabián el Gitano, La Máscara, Stuka Jr. DQ Hijo de Pierroth, Hirooki Goto, Shigeo Okumura
5) Místico, Sagrado, Volador Jr. b Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto

Pierroth Jr. fouled La Mascara in the semimain.

CMLL (SAT) 08/11 Ciudad Juarez
1) Sagrado & Volador Jr. vs Skandalo & Texano Jr.
2) Sangre Azteca vs Maximo [MEX WELTER]
3) Alex Koslov & Heavy Metal vs Olimpico & Terrible
4) Mistico & Negro Casas vs Averno & Dr. Wagner Jr.

Maximo’s a welterweight? He’s listed at 176 lb, weight limit is 172 – time for a diet! I know weight classes are fake, but I’m slightly worried about miscarriage of justice going down there.

I think Flecha lost his hair, though that box y lucha post doesn’t make it too clear.

El Manana has a photo of Felino and company practicing for their singing/dance contest. Just the picture is amusing. Did this air this week, or next week?

Mascarita Sagrada appears in rock group Kinky’s new video for “Uruapan Breaks.” Apparently, he’s a friend of theirs, but they met him thru mySpace, so I guess all the lucha mySpace profiles aren’t fake ones. I’ve only seen the first :30 of the video, but I can tell you it’s fantastic.

El Hijo del Santo is still in Spain, soon to wrestle Blue Demon Jr.

A reporter writes about his one match lucha libre career on OC Register. Over in the Daily Pilot (thanks to mikeinformer), Martin Marin of WPW talks about the time he wrestled an 80 minute trios match in the Yucatan. And then he caught a fish that was THIS big. Oh, you should’ve been there.

07/02: Quereatro, Solidaridad, AULL, Coliseo, Nicho

Knotty

CMLL (THU) 06/28 Arena Quereatro [Knotty @ elmartinete]

4) Dr. Wagner Jr. b Dos Caras Jr., Maximo, Mephisto, Rey Bucanero, Ephesto, Mr. Aguila, Ultimo Guerrero, Volador Jr. [gran prix]
5) Mistico b Averno [NWA MIDDLE]

RFC says the building was 75% full, and the gran prix was quite good.

Viva La Lucha (SAT) 06/30 Southwestern College Gym, Chula Vista, CA [So Cal Uncensored]
1) Black Machine & Shamu b Huracan Negro & X-Torm
2) Aquiles & El Galeno b El Faraon & Wama
3) Brent Albright b Fred Sampson [NWA HEAVY, torneo, 1st]
4) Candice LeRae & Furball b Espantito & Nikki

7) Hijo de Rey Misterio & Rey Misterio Sr. b Nicho & TJ Boy

AULL (SUN) 07/01 Arena Lopez Mateos [observador @ box y lucha]
1) Brazo de Platino & Texano Jr. b Rocky Santana & Solar I
2) Villano III & Villano IV b Negro Navarro & Rambo
3) Villano III & Villano IV b Brazo de Platino & Texano Jr.
4) Maximo & Sagrado DQ Mascara Ano 2000 & Universo 2000
5) Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone, Rey Bucanero b Atlantis, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero

This is the Signo tribute show, and pretty well shuffled from what was originally announced. There were matches before these, but no results and they didn’t match original listings. Later in the thread, someone mentions India Sioux appeared but didn’t wrestle due to a (broken?) nose operation.

CMLL (SUN) 07/01 Arena Coliseo [ova]
1) Astro Boy & Trueno b Carrona & Zayco
2) Euforia, Nosferatu, Satanico b Felino, La Mascara, Valiente
3) Bam Bam, Shockercito, Fantasy b Mr. Aguilita, Pequeno Damian, Pequeno Halloween
4) Alex Koslov, Heavy Metal, Volador Jr. b Atlantis, Olimpico, Sangre Azteca
5) Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone, Rey Bucanero b Toscano, Ultimo Guerrero, Universo 2000

Dos pinned Universo clean in the main event, which does set up a title match next week. I’m far less believing of a title change than Bihari. I can’t believe Universo will actually lose this title til five minutes after it happens. (I can’t believe Universo still has the phyiscal belt either, so maybe I’m just a skeptic. Or maybe there will be panicked cleaning at the ranch this week.)

Fantasy replaced Shockercito in the minis match, which was bumped up to tercera.

Tracking the minis…
06/24 SUN Coliseo: 2) Mr. Aguilita, Peque�o Damian 666, Peque�o Halloween b Bam Bam, Peque�o Ol�mpico, �ltimo Dragoncito
07/01 SUN Coliseo: 3) Bam Bam, Shockercito, Fantasy b Mr. Aguilita, Peque�o Damian 666, Pequeno Halloween
07/08 SUN Coliseo: 2) Ultimo Dragoncito, Pequeno Olimpico, Bam Bam vs Pequeno Halloween, Pequeno Damian 666, Mr. Aguilita

Bam Bam is the only constant on the tecnico side, though Olimpico and Dragoncito are showing up twice.

About five months late, CMLL tickets are on TicketMaster. (Assist to Wagner_Driver @ box y lucha.) Only for this Friday’s show. It looks like they’re not offering all the seats – the cheapest seats don’t appear to be listed.

AAA’s upcoming cards list Abismo Negro on a 07/28 show. Typo?

Zocalo.com.mx has a really good interview with Nicho, about his life in wrestling. He talks about WWE a bit, but also about the start of his career – Pena gave him the Psicosis name, but the gear actually came from a friend who didn’t get picked up by AAA and so couldn’t use it, and it just happened to work out beautifully.

Both Box Y Lucha 2825 and Super Luchas 219 have Chris Benoit on the cover. ByL teases Big Show in Mexico, which I would presume to be the TripleMania rumor.

Sicodelico Jr. moved onto the second round in the NWA World Heavyweight Championship tournament, beating Roughneck Ryan. He moves onto the quarterfinals to face Claudio Castignoli. Logically enough, that match will take place at a CHIKARA show on 07/21 in Wallingford, CT.

Before that match, Sicodelico Jr. will team with Incognito in a triangle match for the NWA World Tag Team Titles. The other two teams are Billy Kidman & X-Pac and Joey Ryan & Karl Anderson (who would seem to be the safe bet.)

Noticas-Oax.com.mx writes about lucha libre stars making the jump to other TV work (mentioning Mistico, Latin, Demon and Intocable.)

SLP indy wrestler El Divino suffered a bad leg fracture, and will be out around six months. BTW, here’s your daily SLP AAA article, this time about Gronda.

Another El Sol de Tampico article about the Atlantis vs Wagner vs Park show there tomorrow.

06/14: Coliseo, Queretaro, Santo

CMLL.com says Villano IV had undergone knee surgery, following his injury (at the hands of the Guerreros, we’ll say) last Friday. No mention of how long he’s expected out, just that III and V want the Guerreros dead. I’d assume this means we’re not getting any mask match from this feud in June.

CMLL (TUE) 06/12 Arena Queretaro [Knotty @ el martinete]
1) Eragon b Estrella Dorada
2) Ozuno & Sarna b Drabek II & Sindrome
3) Espiritu Negro & Okumura b Principe Valiente Jr. & Ursus
4) Alex Koslov & Brazo de Oro b Efesto & Sangre Azteca
5) Atlantis & Olimpico b Dr. Wagner Jr. & Heavy Metal

If I’m reading the recap right, Alex Koslov challenged Sangre Azteca to a title shot after the match. Unless I’m mistaken, Alex Koslov is not actually Mexican, so we’ll see if the local commission allows a non-Mexican challenge for the Mexican National Welterweight title. (They did allow Dark Angel to do something similar, so it’ll probably slip by.) Atlantis pulled Wagner’s mask in the main event.

CMLL (TUE) 06/12 Arena Coliseo [CMLL]
1) Mini Damian 666 & Mini Violencia b Mini Olimpico & Ultimo Dragoncito
2) Sombra de Plata, Tigre Blanco, Tony Rivera b Apocalipsis, Hooligan, Ramstein
3) Lady Apache, Luna Magica, Princesa Blanca b Hiroka, La Nazi, Mima Shimoda
4) Felino, Leono, Volador Jr. b Eclipse, Misterioso II, Virus
5) Dos Caras Jr., Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero b Averno, Ultimo Guerrero, Universo 2000

Black Warrior is still MIA – Averno moved up to the main event in his spot, and Virus took Averno’s place in the semimain. In the tercera, the tecnicas won (again) when La Nazi randomly turned on Hiroka. No idea.

Ovaciones has an interview with El Santo, who’s going to Spain for a couple weeks at the end of the month (with Scorpio Jr.) Santo talks about how he’s so much better not being on TV, because people can’t see him as much so they want to see him more. This is what you say when you’re not on TV.

the gladiatores (SUN) 06/17 Arena Lopez Mateos
1) Comodin Jr. & Rey Dragon vs Halcon Diabolico I & Halcon Diabolico II
2) Kilvan vs Yakuza
3) Dark Gladiator, Devastacion, Rocket vs Arkar, Exterminio, Mr. Stop
4) Bacteria, Gamos el Centauro, Okara vs Hermano Muerte II, Hermano Muerte III, Vocan Negro
5) Rocky Santana & Valiente vs Rey Krimen & Sadico
6) Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro, Suicida vs Kripta, Lapida, Sepulcro

This is a one year anniversary show for thegladiatores.com. They’re celebrating one year with a lucha libre show! I’m lucky if I remember it’s been an anniversary. Totally otra nivel. (It may also be the weekly AULL show, but that’s not as good a story.)

Super Astro’s been on AAA TV wearing his mask, which he lost a number of years ago. Eventually, he was going to run into a commission that’d be upset with that – it appears he’s using the name Meteorito (box y lucha) in those cases, but wearing the same mask. You can remask after a number of years, though typically it’s with a new gimmick. Astro’s worn his mask in Tijuana before joining AAA, claiming he was never paid what he was promised when he lost his mask, so he’s got the right to keep it on.

PAN (SUN) 06/17 Colonia del Valle, Mexico City [El Universal via el Halcon]
1) Alex Koslov, Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero vs Atlantis, Blue Demon Jr., Ultimo Guerrero

Lucha libre show as a political party rally, always great.

Alex Marvez has interview with Konnan. More about his health, little about AAA.

05/21: Mistico in SLP, Sangre title defense

Coliseo and AAA results haven’t turned up yet.

CMLL (THU) 05/31 Palenque de la Feria de Gomez Palacio [La Afficon]

2) Centella Azul Jr. & Piloto Suicida vs Baby Olmos & Piloto Negro
3) Hijo de Sobearno, Mr. Guerrero, Tackle vs Arkangel, Dr. X, Loco Max
4) Olimpico & Ultimo Guerrero vs Mistico & Shocker

I presume this is the show Chui was referring to previously, wondering what promotions who had paid for Mistico would end up getting if he was hurt. Looks like they’re treating him like he’ll be all fine until news changes. I think you have to be worried about both tecnicos in that main event…

CMLL (FRI) 05/18 Oaxaca [Noticias-Oaxaca]
1) Stuka Jr. & Tigre Metalico b Loco Max & Rey Lobo
2) Lady Apache & Marcela b Amapola & Hiroka
3) Endevaor, Fantasma Jr., Sagrado b Dr. X, Nitro, Texano Jr.
4) Sangre Azteca b Vuleo Espacial [MEX WELTER]
5) Dr. Wagner & Marco Corelone b Atlantis & Ultimo Guerrero
Marco replaced Shocker.

(El Paso Times) Mistico will be signing autographs in El Paso on Saturday at a soccer game, as the Patriots play Brilla FC. All kids wearing a luchador mask get in for free, and it’s dollar beer night, so they’re going to be packing the house. More info at elpaso-patriots.com. I don’t see a picture of Mistico anywhere, though, and this is around Incognito’s homebase. Hmmmmm.(More of a concern is USL’s site listing the team being in Austin on Saturday. I dunno.)

Latin Lover may be out of the TV program he’s on. Sounds like he had some sort of disagreement with the producers and he’s already preparing to move on – he references projects he has planned back in lucha libre.

(El Sol de San Luis Potosi) The dean of Social Science Anthropology at Universidad Autonoma de SLP stated lucha libre is enduringly popular in Mexico because it reflects the struggles of real life. This was part of a paper on lucha libre and popular culture, which also discussed the influence of Mexican lucha libre in other places of the world – a statue of Santo in a Lebanon movie theater, for example.

4) Felino, Negro Casas, Ultimo Dragon b Averno, Mephisto, Nitro
5) Damian 666, Halloween, Hector Garza b Alex Koslov, Rey Bucanero, Shocker

Toro Bill reversed a pin on Leono to pick up the win. Leono wants a hair match. Garza got a foul on Rey for a pin.

CMLL (SUN) 04/22 Arena Solidaridad
1) Tacua b Arquero
2) Enrique Aguilera & Ramrio Ramirez L Cadillo, Difuno II, Difunto I, Diluvio Negro I, Jhonatan, Llamarada, Monje Negro Jr., Sergio Romo Jr., Venum [cage, hair]

3) ?, el Dandy, Rayo de Jalisco Jr. vs Bestia Salvaje, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Pierroth

AULL has a website up http://alianzauniversal-luchalibre.com/, though it seems to have more unfinished pages than finsihed ones.

4) Epidemia, Robin Maravilla, Terry 2000 vs Pierroth Jr., Rey Krymen, Sadico
5) Dos Caras Jr., Heavy Metal, La Mascara vs Black Warrior, LA Park, Misterioso II

The tecnicos on the semimain are listed as a Trio Of Champions, so I’m thinking Terry 2000 retained his title.

(rfc) “Don Pepe” Jose Martinez Garza, who acting as a Box Y Lucha commision member in Monterrey, passed away on Monday.

La Jornada has an interview with Axxel.

El Occidental has a bio of Diablo Velasco.

(SignOnSanDiego) Tonight’s edition of “Stories de la Frontera” – a local show in San Diego, airs at 9:30 on KPBS (and also Friday at 5PM on Cox Cable Channel 4) – includes a segment on lucha libre on Rey Misterio Sr.
