02/05: Coliseo, Monterrey, AULL, Tijuana

CMLL

CMLL (SUN) 02/04 Arena Coliseo Results [ova]
1) Bracito de Oro, Mini Fantasy ? Fire, Mini Violencia
2) India Sioux, Luna Magica, Sahori b Amapola, Medussa, Rosa Negra
3) Fabian el Gitano, Metro II, Satanico ? Arkangel, Loco Max, Nitro
4) Felino, Maximo, Sagrado ? Alex Koslov, Ephesto, Misterioso II
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Heavy Metal, Mistico b Black Warrior, Olimpico, Tarzan Boy

Warrior yanked Mistico’s mask and rolled him up for the win. They may have a singles match next Sunday. Ovaciones has flipped from having the most easily understood results to the least easily understood results in the space of a week (writing “they won” under each matchup does not help), so I have to find out undercard results from other places.

indy (SAT) 02/03 Plaze de Toros Monumental Monterrey Results [rfc]
1) Gitano del Norte, Sky b Black Soul, Furor
2) Coco Blanco, Coco Rojo, Coco Verde b Al Barone, Bengali, Espanto V
3) Hijo de Fantasma, Tigre Universitario, Último Dragón b Anibal el Vampiro, Silver Star, Veneno
4) Villano III, Villano IV, Villano V b Cien Caras, Máscara Año 2000, Máscara Año 2000 Jr.
5) Damián 666, Héctor Garza, Mr. Águila b El Hijo Del Santo, LA Park, Mil Mascaras

That’s something of an upset.

indy (SUN) 02/04 Arena Coliseo Monterrey Results [rfc]
1) Larry Miranda Jr. b Ricohet
2) Borrico, Burrito b Angel Negro, Black Nazi
3) Black Diamond, Guerrero Griego b Armagedon, Corazon Adicto
4) Difunto II, Enrique Vera b Casanova, La Kalaka, Pancho Tequila
5) Dulce Poly b Simply Lusicous [FILL WOMEN]
6) Hijo de Espanto II, Konan Big, Mr. Texas b Axxel, Casanova, Psicodelico Jr.

Black Nazi could be a superb gimmick in the right hands, though they’re likely not doing it like I’d picture it.

AULL (SAT) 02/03 Arena Lopez Mateos Results [El Halcon]
1) Jose El Caporal, Yakuza b Chico del Barrio, Violento
2) Tortuguillo Ninja I, Tortuguillo Ninja II, Tortuguillo Ninja III b Angel o Demonio, Leon Rojo, Obet
3) Black Terry, Negro Navarro b Cerebro Negro, Fantasma de la Opers [AULL Tag, torneo]
4) Sepulturero I, Sepulturero II b Isao, Masusaki [AULL TAG, torneo]
5) Black Terry, Negro Navarro b Sepulturero I, Sepulturero II [AULL Tag, torneo]
6) Rey Krymen b Terry 2000 [super libre]
7) Dos Caras Jr., Shocker, Ultimo Gladiador b Black Warrior, Sadico, Ultimo Guerrero

Krymen and Terry 2000 set up a title vs hair match for next week, so that’s how that’s going down. The AULL tag team tournament is scheduled to end in March, and I dare someone to make sense of it. One tag team tournament for me at a time. Luchas 2000 #354 has Mistico was Sepulturero’s mask.

AAA BAJA (FRI) 02/02 Auditorio Municipal de Tijuana Results [Lucha Libre Tijuana, via El Halcon]
1) Spark, Yarat b Galeno, Wama
2) Angel Mensajero, Genio del Aire, Iron Boy, Luminoso b Fobia, King Azteca, Rubi Gardenia, Tornado Negro
3) Hijo del Rey Misterio, Super Astro, Tinieblas Jr. b Antifaz del Norte, Hator, Mr. Niebla
4) Psicosis II, Rey Misterio Sr. NC Crazy Boy, Nicho el Millionario
5) Head Hunter I, Head Hunter II, Pirata Morgan b Intocable, La Parka Jr., Octagón

Semimain was called off in the third fall by the commission when Nicho and Psicosis brawled into the crowd. They built this as ‘Who is the real Psicosis?’; in that Super Luchas interview, Nicho said he was done with being Psicosis in Mexico. Guess he changed his mind! (Hey, why were Psicosis II and Crazy Boy on opposite teams anyway?) Hunter I fouled Intocable in the main and got away with it for the win.

Today’s the 23rd anniversary of Santo’s death. Ovaciones has a bio, as does Notimex

AAA’s site is down. Tonight’s the Puebla taping.

AAA TV (MON) 02/05 Plaza de Toros de Irapuato, Guanajuato
1) La Diabolica, La Hechicera, Martha Villalobos vs Miss Janeth, Rossy Moreno, Tiffany
2) Mascara Divina & Oriental vs Antifaz & Histeria and el Angel & Laredo Kid and May Flowers & Pimpinela Escarlata [AAA TAG]
3) Crazy Boy, Joe Lider, Juventued Guerrera, Psicosis II vs El Dandy, Fuerza Guerrera, Pirata Morgan, Sangre Chicana
4) Alebrije, Intocable, Octagon, Super Porky vs Alan Stone, Hator, Scorpio Jr., Zumbido
5) Charly Manson, Chessman, Cibernetico vs Cuervo, Escoria, Ozz [cage]

Either the Hell Brothers are killing off the Dark Family and ending the feud, or a Big Angle goes down.

01/29: Coliseo, FPU, AULL, Tijuana, Magazies

CMLL (SUN) 01/28 Arena Coliseo Results
1) Molotov, Sombra de Plata b Polvora, Vaquero
2) Danger, Super Nova, Trueno b Apocalipsis, Ramstein, Super Comando
3) Leono, Metro II, Tony Rivera DQ Hooligan, Loco Max, Mr. México
4) Felino, Mictlan, Negro Casas b Ephesto, Misterioso II, Shigeo Okumura
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Místico, Volador Jr. b Atlantis, Olímpico, Último Guerrero

Clean finish in the main event.

Pop Matters has a long article about Lucha Libre in the US, including quotes from Keith of From Parts Unknown. I think there’s stuff that I’d quibble with if I was in a quibbling mood (and also if quibbling was a word), but it’s interesting read.

AULL (SAT) 01/27 Arena Lopez Mateos Results [El Halcon]
1) Angel de Fuego, El Conde, Siki Osama Jr. b Feniz, Mr. Potro, Yakuza
2) Rambo Jr., Supremo Jr. b Tortugullio Ninja II, Tortugullio Ninja III [AULL Tag, 2nd, torneo]
3) Astro Boy, Robin Maravilla b Dr. Karonte I, Dr. Karonte Jr. [AULL Tag, 2nd, torneo]
4) Coco Rojo, Coco Verde b Cerebro Negro, Fantasma de la Opera [AULL Tag, 2nd, torneo]
5) Mistico b Sepultuero [mask]
6) Olimpico, Rey Krimen, Sadico b Rey Bucanero, Terry 2000, Ultimo Gladiador

I’m thinking now that those are supposed to be the second part of the 1st round, not the 2nd round. We’ll see. As seems to be practice, Babe Richard was special referee for a Mistico mask match. Sepulturero had Mistico pinned and pulled him up a couple times; I’m surprised they’d be okay with that (but maybe he was kicking out anyway.) Sepulturero is Sergio Pancheco Hernandez. He’s 31, originally from Tlalnepantla (same city as the arena) and he’s been wrestling for 13 years.

I think the match order was switched due to people arriving late. People came for the mask match, and it sounds like people left before it finished. Rey Krimen got in a low blow on Terry 2000 and covered him for the win, setting up a Super Libre match for next week (and an AULL title match the week after?)

indy (FRI) 01/26 Auditorio de Tijuana Results [El Halcon]
1) Calabera b Hadez
2) Mr. Maldito, Voltio b Forastero, TG Power
3) Angel Negro Jr., Animaniac, Shamu b Hijo de Kendo, Kimura, Thunder Mask
4) Ninja, Ruby Gardenia, Super Astro b King Azteca, Pandillero I, Pandillero II
5) Espectro Jr., Inferno b Blue Demon Jr., Rayman

Espectro Jr. cheated to pin Blue Demon Jr. Setting up a rematch? Maybe? I dunno.

This Esto article talks about Los Dos Tigres plans for the future, if you go all the way down to the last paragraph. (Either a title shot or Dr. X vs Tigre Metalico, for some reason.) Slightly more newsworthy from Arena Mexico: Metro II got hurt, Sangre got in nothing before he yanked Dragon’s mask, and they don’t talk about Halloween’s injury either. Maybe it just looked more devastating on TV, because it looked like The End Of Halloween For All Time on TV.

El Manana talks about the beauty of masks.

Magazines
Luchas 2000 353 speculates about a Corelone tecnico turn (I bet he’d still feud with Universo.) BTW, I believe Canek really went to the hospital, though not actually due to Mil and Rayo in LA/Chicago
Super Luchas 197 headlines with Ricky Marvin winning in NOAH.

Lineups are below. Two notes
– Someone’s defending the UWF Middleweight Title. Or saying they are. Or whatever. Yay obscure titles.
– Mistico’s working three times on Sunday, which is three times more than any wrestler in the US is working on Sunday.
