CMLL FSE #33

taped 03/18

Mogur and Leono wasn’t anything. Neither guy seems good enough to carry long stretches of match, and that was even apparently in a seven minute match. You’d hope Mogur would have something beside doing the same sequence of big moves for near falls in the first fall and the third fall. Crowd was respectful of the match, but not really caring about it. Hope Mogur got his hair cut totally later on – I think I remember seeing it cut later on, but I can’t stumble across a photo right now.

Opener was nothing to write about.

CAN52 wins this week! I guess I should watch AAA to compare, but…I think I’m doing my taxes tommorow.

03/21: Coliseo, Naucalpan, Monterrey

CMLL

CMLL (SUN) 03/18 Arena Coliseo
1) Apocalipsis, Hooligan, Ramstein b Starman, Super Nova, Trueno
2) Felino, Mictlan, Valiente b Loco Max, Misterioso II, Mr. Mexico
3) Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto b Alex Koslov, La Mascara, Volador Jr.
4) Leono b Mogur [hair]
5) Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr., Mistico b Black Warrior, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero

Bit more stacked Coliseo card than usual, at least in terms of the first two matches. Or, I guess you could look at it as the opener getting bumped for the hair match. Mogur’s family was at the show – sad for them. Mistico got Ultimo clean with La Mistica. Averno pinned Volador in the tercera after a foul.

CMLL (TUE) 03/20 Arena Coliseo
1) Bracito de Oro & Mini Fantasy b Mini Halloween & Mini Mr. Aguila
2) Apocalipsis, Hooligan, Ramstein b Danger, Sombra de Plata, Trueno
3) Amapola, La Nazi, Rosa Negra b India Sioux, Lady Apache, Marcela
4) Eclipse, Misterioso II, Olimpico b La Mascara, Mictlan, Virus
5) Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto b Dr. Wagner Jr., Fabian el Gitano, Heavy Metal

Amapola beat Lady Apache. Shocker no-showed. The sun rose in the east, and set in the west.

Looks like the Trio of Terror is getting a legit push; Averno pinned Wagner here after a mask pull.

IWRG (SUN) 03/18 Arena Naucalpan
1) Celestial b Diablo Jr.
2) Black Jaguar & Vampiro Metalico b Samba & Venom
3) Kai, Kid Tiger, Yamato b Black Jaguar, Macho II, Supremo Jr.
4) Black Terry, Trauma I, Trauma II b Efinge, Freelance, Suicida
5) Fantasma de la Opera b Cerebro Negro, Pierroth Jr., El Dandy, Villano III, Veneno, Alex Koslov, Dr. Cerebro, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Bestia Salvaje [IWRG IC WELTER, cage]

Came down to Villano III (hair), Dandy (MEX LH), Cerebro Negro (IWRG WELTER) and Fantasma de la Opera (mask). Villano III and Dandy got out first, and they’re still teasing that match. Cerebro Negro went to escape, but Black Terry spit something into his face, and that was the end of Cerebro Negro. Black Terry got the win the semimain with his feet on the ropes, so it was a good day to be Black Terry. We probably should’ve known this from the get go – anytime you’re teaming with the Unbeatable Traumas, it’s a good day.

IWRG (SUN) 03/25 Arena Naucalpan
1) Celstial & Zella vs Comando Gama & Vampiro Metalico
2) Antaris & Bacteria vs Black Thunder & Narcosatanico I
3) Esfinge, Kai, Yamato vs Hijo del Diablo, Trauma I, Trauma II
4) Freelance, Suicida, Turbo vs Fantasma de la Opera, Pierroth Jr., Veneno
5) Dandy, Mascara Sagrada, Sagrado vs Damian 666, Misterioso II, Villano III

6) Ragaltio & Raton b Konnan Big

Lost my link list due to a power outage, so hopefully I don’t forget something good…
– Ovaciones has a blurb about Hector Garza and Shocker (in theory) being involved with a TV show called “La Ruleta de la Muerte” in April. I’ve read the bit ten times and still have no idea what’s going on, but I think they’re doing a lucha Fight Club thing. Or it may be a music video. Or it may be something else.
Laredo Kid received an award for best luchador of Nuevo Laredo in 2006.
– a writer at Bolpress recalls working on a never completed autobiography with Huracan Ramirez.
Guerreros del Ring #79 has the Hellbrothers. Chessman appears to be drooling blood.

WWE guys hit Mexico today, so there should be amusing stories the rest of the week. Rey Misterio was scheduled to appear on these shows, dunno if that’s still on.

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]
1) Burrito & Mini Burrito b Borrico & Tequilita
2) La Bella & La Bestia b Apostol & La Bandida
3) Angel Negro, Hollywood, Silver Star b Al Barone, Angel Negro, Mortal

5) Axel DQ Hijo de Espanto [FILL MIDDLE]
6) Konnan Big, Pancho Tequilla, Super Konnan b Casanova, Golden Boy, Humberto Garza Jr.

So Super Konnan’s not Konnan Big? I’m confused.

indy (TUE) 03/20 Arena Coliseo Monterrey Lineup [rfc]
1) Borrico, Mini Burrito vs Angel Negro, Mini Pancho Tequila
2) La Bella, La Bestia vs La Bandida, El Burrito
3) Huracan Ramirez Jr., Casanova, Black Dragon vs Al Barone, Pancho Tequila, Potro Jr.
4) Axxel, Super Konnan, Humberto Garza Jr. vs Picudo, Nygma, Sivler Cat

2) Guerrero, Caballero Galactico b Neurosis, Monje Loco
3) Raul Vidal, Pantera Salvaje, Arlequin b Sombra Azul Jr., Gato Nocturnoa, Astro Flash
4) Cibernetico, Octagon b Abismo Negro, Antifaz

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?

CMLL (SAT) 03/17 Gimnasio Jesus Garcia Lopez [El Solitario Jr. @ El Martiente]
1) Pesadilla & Rey Sombra b Dragon de Fuego & Fly
2) Duende Jr. & Karisma b Cisne I & Cisne II

4) Alex Koslov, Dr. Wagner Jr., Marco Corelone vs Ephesto, Mephisto, Misterioso II
5) Mistico & Negro Casas vs Averno & Black Warrior [CMLL TAG]

Yea, those titles still do exist.

CMLL (THU) 03/15 Arena Isabel de Cuervanca Lineup [Dark Atlantis @ el Martinete]
1) Caballero de Fuego & Veneno (Cuervanca) b Comodin & Furia Azteca
2) Antaris & Turbo b Black Thunder & Vampiro Metalico
3) Damian 666, Halloween, Hooligan DQ Brazo de Platino, Maximo, Super Brazo
4) Alex Koslov, Heavy Metal, Marco Corelone DQ Mascara Ano 2000, Pierroth, Universo 2000

Super Brazo and Hooligan are feuding here and they’re building to a stip match.

Super Luchas #21 is about hardcore Mexican wrestling.

03/13: Coliseo, Tijuana

CMLL

CMLL (SUN) 03/11 Arena Coliseo [cmll]
1) Danger & Trueno b Calígula & Mesala
2) India Sioux, Lady Apache, Luna Magica b La Nazi, Medussa, Rosa Negra
3) Leono, Stuka Jr., Tony Rivera DQ Arkangel de la Muerte, Mogur, Mr. México
4) el Hijo del Pierroth, Pierroth, Shigeo Okumura b La Máscara, Mictlan, Tigre Metalico
5) Damián 666, Halloween, Mr. Águila b Alex Koslov, Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone

Leono won in straight falls, but may have been fouled in both of them. If you’re going to lose in straight falls, that’s the way to go.

STILL NO AAA TAPING RESULTS.

AAA Baja California (THU) 03/08 Auditorio de Tijuana [Halcon]
1) Soark b Bull Rider
2) Angel Mensajero, Camaleon de Oro, R-15 b King Azteca, Pandillero I, Pandillero II
3) Estrellita & Martha Villalobos b Rossy Moreno & Tiffany
4) Super Astro, Tinieblas Sr., Zorro b Fuerza Guerrera, Juventud Guerrera, Zumbido
5) Nicho el Millionario & Rey Misterio Sr. DQ Abismo Negro & Psicosis II
6) Charly Manson, Chessman, Cibernetico DQ El Elegido, La Parka Jr., Octagón

Chessman yanked Parka’s mask for the main event DQ. Abismo accidentally beat up the ref in the semimain. Juvi and Fuerza didn’t get along in their match.

Mundo de Hoy has the Coco Rojo/Super Muenco wrap up
Super Muneco says he couldn’t sleep well for the five days leading to the show. That would seem to be a hazard. Muneco explains he won the match with an arm hold that he created, called la Bikina, which was the name (nickname?) of “a love I lost.” Losing love = debilitating arm hold, I see it.
and a recap of the show – no interview with Coco Rojo?

Grade school teachers are against Guerra de Titanes in Paraguay, thinking watching wrestling has increased adolescent violence.

Guerreros del Ring #78 has Lady Apache.

03/10: Mexico results, lineups

5) Alex Koslov, Místico, Rey Bucanero b Averno, Black Warrior, Mephisto
6) Marco Corelone DQ Universo 2000

Marco won the first fall clean, and then won the second fall when Mascara Ano 2000 and Cien Caras ran in and beat him down. (Cien insists he’s not coming back, again.)

Panther suffered a knee injury in the second fall of his match and was taken to the hospital – might be serious.

There was a moment of applause for Black Shadow

More Black Shadow
ESTO
EHIU.com (newswire?) and Ovaciones have articles from his funeral

2) Dark Angel, Sahori, Luna Magica vs Princesa Sujei, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda

4) Heavy Metal, Volador Jr., Sagrado vs Universo 2000, Atlantis, Sangre Azteca
5) Shocker, Alex Koslov, Marco Corleone vs Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Hector Garza, Damian 666

No Mistico, so they obviously aren’t running Mistico/Perro next week. Or anything major. Sangre in a semimain is cool.

CMLL (SUN) 03/18 Arena Coliseo Lineup
1) Starman, Super Nova, Trueno vs Hooligan, Apocalipsis
2) Felino, Mictlan, Valiente vs Misterioso II, Loco Max, Mr. Mexico

The way they’ve been airing things lately, that hair match airs on Fox Sports.

Guerreros del Ring had:
02/23 Mexico: Amapola, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda b Dark Angel, India Sioux, Lady Apache
03/04 Coliseo: Olímpico, Pierroth, Universo 2000 b Satanico, Lizmark Jr., Marco Corelone
No unmasked segment – Ultimo Guerrero’s crib

03/05: Coliseo, IWRG, Monterrey, Magazines

CMLL

Ovaciones dismisses the idea of Mistico going to WWE, saying he’s locked into a contract with CMLL. I’m glad that’s over. (not) It is nice people are daring to mention it. Ovaciones actual point here is suggesting that major companies respect each other’s contracts, which they should but – it’s the WWE, they don’t.

CMLL (SUN) 03/04 Arena Coliseo [cmll, ova]
1) Mini Olimpico & Shockercito b Fire & Sombrita
2) Fabian el Gitano, Starman, Tony Rivera b Apocalipsis, Hooligan, Ramstein
3) Leono, Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metalico b Hijo de Pierroth, Mogur, Mr. Mexico
4) Olimpico, Pierroth, Universo 2000 b Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr., Marco Corleone
5) Mistico, Shocker, Volador Jr. b Averno, Black Warrior, Mephisto

Universo fouled Marco to pick up the win that match. Befor the tercera, Mogur said he’d only agree to a hair match with Leono if Leono beat him clean – so Leono did.

IWRG (SUN) 03/04 Arena Naucalpan [ova]
1) Aguila Oriental & Celestial b Extrano & Mr. Randal
2) Airon Boy & Antaris b Sadico & Vampiro Metalico
3) Kai, King Boy, Yamato b Kraneo, Peligro, Sadico
4) Bestia Salvaje, Black Terry, Veneno b Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro, Suicida
5) El Dandy DQ Villano IV

IV replaced III in the main event. Dandy claims Villano III is a coward. Rudos left the tecnicos(/IWRG Trios champs) bloody in the semimain.

Hoy Laredo hypes up a match between Konan Big and Mario Bezares tonight in Arena Cuartro Caminos.

Torreon’s Box Y Lucha Comission is shutting down shows starting next weekend if everyone doesn’t get licensed. They’re allowing people to license at the arena on Monday and Thursday, but after that, everyone’s in trouble. (El Siglo de Torreon) Someone at this paper should maybe ask a promoter or a wrestler about this at some point – why aren’t they licensed? If the commission is a powerless group that just rants to the newspaper, that’s a story too.

indy (SUN) 03/04 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [rfc]

2) Corrico, Gardenia, Rosa Salvaje b Armageddon, Burrito, Rey Apostol

4) Hijo de Espanto II, Pancho Tequila, Potro Jr. b Black Dragon, El Original, Golden Boy
5) Konnan Big b Axxel, Hijo de Solitario, Hijo de Anibal [FILL MIDDLE]

As I read it, Axxel filled in for Rayo de Jalisco Jr., who missing absence when he was due to lose a title, huh. Axxel was FILL Middleweight Champion, who knew? Konnan Big picks up the title, so he’s been FILL Heavyweight, Light Heavyweight, and Middleweight champion over a short time, and in that order. Did Monterrey put in Wellness Program?

Magazines
Super Luchas 202 has Super Crazy picking up Mistico at the airport. Question for Mr. Ocampo: why do you post more of your magazine on Box Y Lucha’s forum than your own site? Super Luchas has your IWA-MS guys in AAA pictures, for those looking.
Luchas 2000 358 tease mask vs hair. They’re also teasing Lizmark Jr. rudo for what seems like the third or fourth time in the last year. Put aside that Ultimo could do a lot better than Lizmark Jr. – Julio Cesar Rivera would seem to be plugged in about these things, but this one has gotten stuck. Lucha 2000 Special 19 has moves moves moves.

I’ve figured out why Robert is getting different tag team results than I am – he’s reading a different recap (el martiente) than I am (Satanico’s Mansion.) One recap says Zumbido caused a double pin (which can’t be anything but a 1 point each draw), one recap says clean pin for Zumbido. Double pins are easy to miss if you’re not at the right angle or looking for ’em, so I tend to believe it’s a draw, but I’ll wait for AAA to confirm.
