straight fall win after Angel Azteca Jr. left the match with a nose injury.
3) Pequeño OlímpicoBam Bam [CMLL MINI]
New champion! Trueno and Super Comando were the seconds. Bam Bam won the first, and Olimpico took the last two to win the title for the second time. He won the title with a half crab.
4) Rush, Stuka Jr., ValienteFelino, Mephisto, Texano Jr.
Rush reversed a Texano Tornado into a small package to steal the win. Felino and Perico did not let this stop them from dancing after the match. Mephisto subbed for Terrible.
5) Blue Panther, Super Porky, ToscanoHéctor Garza, Negro Casas, Volador Jr.
Volador lost clean to the Nudo Lagunero.

The scheduled Perros del Mal show tonight was canceled. At least they’re getting better letting people know; Damian and others were outside explaing their side to unhappy people.

Lineups

IWRG (THU) 02/17/2011 Arena Naucalpan
1) Lucky Boy vs Imperial
2) Alan Extreme, Eterno, Explosivo vs Carta Brava Jr., Comando Negro, Imposible
3) Barba Roja, Hijo de Pirata Morgan, Pirata Morgan vs Negro Navarro, Trauma I, Trauma II
4) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown vs Bestia 666, Damián 666, Halloween and Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro [cage]

Nothing particular seems to be on the line in the cage match. Maybe that’ll change?

CMLL (SUN) 02/20/2011 Arena Coliseo
1) Astro Boy & Camaleón vs Disturbio & Semental
2) Fabián el Gitano, Leono, Starman vs Durango Kid, Hooligan, Puma King
3) Ángel de Plata, Fuego, Guerrero Maya Jr. vs Dr. X, Nitro, Skándalo
4) Máximo, Sagrado, Sangre Azteca vs Felino, Shigeo Okumura, Yoshihashi
5) La Máscara, La Sombra, Máscara Dorada vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto

Trios champs teaming up. A lot of that going around.

Yoshihashi versus Maximo is going to end badly for Yoshihashi.

IWRG (SUN) 02/20/2011 Arena Naucalpan
1) Black Sky & Dragon Fly vs Guerrero 2000 & Halcon 2000
2) ?, Alan Extreme, Hijo del Pantera vs Carta Brava Jr., Eterno, Imposible
3) Explosivo, Multifacético, Tony Rivera vs Comando Negro, Hammer, Magnifico
4) Electroshock vs Último GladiadorPirata MorganHijo de Máscara Año 2000VenenoHead Hunter INegro NavarroEl BrazoLa RocaPantera [UWF US HEAVY, #1 Contenders]

That title is Hijo del Pirata Morgan’s from El Paso. Since he just won another singles title, the winner of this has a mighty good chance. First time La Roca is here since last April. He was working AAA spot shows last time he was spotted, but maybe they too figured out he needed a lot of work.

Explosivo reappears from the dead (not literally!) and starts finding himself in matches with Comando Negro. That is not the start of a story with a happy ending.

03/06 CMLL Puebla Fan Appreciation Lineup (mini mask match)

CMLL’s announced the next fan appreciation show for Puebla:

CMLL (FRI) 03/06 Arena Puebla
1) Lady Apache & Sahori vs Mima Shimoda & Princesa Sujei
2) Hijo del Fantasma & La Mascara vs Dragon Rojo Jr. & Sangre Azteca
3) Marco Corleone, Mistico, Volador Jr. vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
4) Mascarita Dorada vs Ultimo Dragoncito, Pequeno Ninja, Pequeno Olimpico, Fantasy, Electrico, Nino de Acero, Bracito de Oro, Sombrita, Sauron[cage, mask]

Okay, issue 1: it’s listed as a 14 mask match, with only 10 names. Pierrothito and Pequeno Warrior were in Puebla last night, so they’re surely working this show too. Tzuki fits too. Maybe a mini Dinamitia to round out the numbers? (Maybe Mini Lizmark, unretired?)

They’re obviously trying to build up the numbers (though – why is a 14 mini match any bigger draw than an 8 mini one, presuming you’re just dropping the lesser 6?), because issue #2 is “who is Sauron?” If I get a vote, I’m voting for hypnotic pterodactyl gimmick over evil wizard gimmick. I would actually know this if I watched more of Puebla and IWRG, because a wrestler by that name turned up on both places from August to December last year.

Third cage match in 3 months. Kinda hitting that button a little hard. Also, since this is Friday, that means Mistico and crew won’t be in Arena Mexico – perhaps a Ultimo Guerrero/Blue Panther vs Villanos match?

07/07 (2): DF Lineups

As per new standard operating procedure, only Tuesday and Friday ones. Bihari, you may want to be seated for the Arena Mexico lineup. Actually, everyone should, there’s a pretty fun surprise.

CMLL (TUE) 07/10 Arena Coliseo
1) Rayo Tapatio I & Rayo Tapatio II vs Caligula & Vaquero
2) Bam Bam, Bracito de Oro, Celestial vs Mr. Aguilita, Pequeno Damian, Pequeno Halloween
3) Fabian el Gitano, Flash, Tony Rivera vs Arkangel, Hooligan, Nitro
4) La Mascara, Maximo, Volador Jr. vs Satanico, Texano Jr., Virus
5) Heavy Metal, Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero vs Atlantis, Sangre Azteca, Universo 2000

I think that’s as high as Flash has been, but it’s Tuesday. Is Sangre Azteca’s story inspiring because, after all this time, he’s finally up in the main events or is depressing for it to take all this time for him to finally be up in the main events?

CMLL (FRI) 07/13 Arena Mexico
1) Sombra de Plata & Stuka Jr. vs Artillero & Polvora
2) Bam Bam vs Pequeno Olimpico, Bracito de Oro, Fantasy, Electrico, Pequeno Halloween, Pequeno Damian 666, Mr. Aguilita, Fire [ciber]
3) Alex Koslov, La Mascara, Mascara Purpura vs Damian 666, Euforia, Texano Jr.
4) Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Sombra vs Atlantis, Olimpico, Sangre Azteca
5) Mistico & Negro Casas vs Dr. Wagner Jr. & Ultimo Guerrero [CMLL TAG]

Who’s missing? No Ultimo Dragoncito, Tzuki, Pierrothito and Pequeno Violencia – that’s gotta be a tag match at a spot show somewhere. Mini cibernetico’s gotta make air.

No apparent follow up on the Panther vs Perros stuff. News page teases Villano V vs Blue Panther in a mask match. Eh, no.

With Atlantis in the building for the main event tag, perhaps we’ll know how he feels about Ultimo hooking up with his archrival and offering him membership in the Guerreros. I wonder how Bucanero feels about this! (I bet he doesn’t know yet.)
