IWRG (THU) 11/26 Arena Naucalpan [@gladiatores, Al Filo del Ring]
1) Comando Negro b Dinamita Kid
2) Eragon & Miss Gaviota b Carta Brava Jr. & Vampiro Metálico
3) Exodia, Pendulo, Ultramán Jr. b Dr. Cerebro, Gringo Loco, Oficial Fierro
4) Bushi b Avisman [IWRG LIGHT]
5) Angelico, Pantera, Super Porky b Hijo de Pirata Morgan, Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Oficial 911

Pantera was honored. Bushi is the new champion, and I guess this means he’s sticking around for quite a while longer. (On the other hand, it is an IWR title.) The tercera sets up a title match, improbably.

IWRG (SUN) 11/29 Arena Naucalpan [EdR, al filo del ring (video)]
1) Carta Brava b Bestia Magnifica
2) Epidemia & Fantasma de la Ópera b Eragon & Tortugillo
3) Ultramán Jr. b Bobby Lee Jr. [#1 Contenders, IWRG IC WELTER]
4) Jack & Oficial 911 b Freelance & Oficial Fierro [relevos suicidas]
5) Oficial Fierro b Freelance [hair]
6) Angelico, Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Scorpio Jr. b Oficial 911, Tóxico, Tóxico DF

No Jr. Capos, no Hijo dell Lizmark (Scorpio may be an upgrade, but I Can Not Believe Hijo del Lizmark Did Not Show Up For This Show.) Rayo’s team lost the first fall in his anniversary match, but rallied back to win two and three.

Oficial Fierro hurt an arm in the end of the relevos match, so Freelance went to work on it during their heads up match (oddly 3 falls.) Freelance took the first, got DQed for excessive violence towards the arm in the second, and got rolled up for a pin to lose, though his shoulders weren’t actually done. Freelance takes the hair cut he seemed headed to before he got hurt in early October.

Ultraman gets a shot at Fuerza Guerrera, though apparently not this upcoming week.

IWRG (THU) 12/03 Arena Naucalpan
2) Cometa De Fuego vs Dinamita Kid
3) Chico Che, Gemelo Fantastico I, Gemelo Fantastico II vs Hijo del Signo, Maldito Jr., Samoth
4) Freelance, Pantera, Zatura vs El Hijo del Diablo, Gringo Loco, Xibalba
5) Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro vs Exodia, Pendulo, Ultramán Jr. [EdM Trios]

Seems like the bar was low to earn that title shot. Pantera appears to be sticking around.

IWRG (SUN) 12/06 Arena Naucalpan
3) Bushi, Freelance, Suicida vs Cerebro Negro, Fantasma de la Ópera, Gringo Loco
4) Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro vs Histeria, Psicosis, Tóxico
5) El Alebrije, Hijo del Lizmark, Super Porky vs Hijo del Cien Caras, Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Pirata Morgan

No idea if the Jr. Capos are still on, but that’s the schedule. Fourth match sure seems like a telegraphed title match. TV deal must be going well if they’re paying to bring these guys in.

Mexico & GDL previews, new juniors headed into CMLL (are not that interesting),

ESTO has a preview of tonight’s Arena Mexico show. Neither Ephesto nor Rey Bucanero has to buy a ticket tonight, because they’re in the main event trios: Ephesto/Texano/Terrible vs Rey/Atlantis/UG. Ephesto’s already making mask vs hair challenges, though he’d be okay with a team vs team match.

You know, I’m seriously excited for this prospects of this match – they’re both good guys, and I’m not quite sure about the outcome – but I sure hope this isn’t their big main event against TripleMania.

Just as newsworthy show in Guadalajara. Less for the feud, more that they’re running at all:

CMLL (TUE) 05/19 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Thunder Boy vs Acertijo
2) Idolo vs Virgo
3) Nube Roja vs Exterminador
4) Casanova vs Rey Trueno
5) Gallo & Metal Blanco vs Mascara Magica & Satanico
6) Mascara Dorada & Sagrado vs Dragon Rojo Jr. & Sangre Azteca
7) Hector Garza, Mictlan, Shocker vs Averno, Dos Caras Jr., Mephisto

First show here since April 26th. A lay off of 23 days, or 7 canceled shows. Come to think of it, the Shocker/Dos feud is important if it leads into the anti-TripleMania show. Feels like we’re either getting a double main event or a lot of feuds shoved into a cage. (Shocker/Rey/UG/Atlantis vs Terrible/Texano/Epehsto/Dos? Shocker on the same side as the Guerreros?)

Might as well put Sunday’s lineup here too:

CMLL (SUN) 05/24 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Hierro & Skaxy vs Angel del Mal & Relampago Azul
2) Metatron & Palacio Negro vs Dragon & Rafaga
3) Leon Blanco & Magnum vs Asesino Negro & Infierno
4) Metro, Neutron, Stuka Jr. vs Mr. Trueno, Vangelis, Virus
5) Blue Panther, Mascara Dorada, Sagrado vs Black Warrior, Terrible, Texano Jr.
6) Hector Garza, Mistico, Shocker vs Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas

A lot of extra local guys bundled onto this card to get them some work.

lovewarrior @ el Martinete has Luchas 2000 #470, which lists the three new juniors coming to CMLL
– Ultraman Jr.
– As Jr.
– Rene Guajarado Jr.

Ultraman Jr. has been around since 2003, and has worked stretched for IWRG and AAA without really catching on. He’s worked in CMLL arenas as part of Dragon shows in the past. This is actually the second Ultraman Jr.; the first is Starman, who was forced to change names to avoid a lawsuit from the original.

As (Ace) was a late 70s/80s wrestler, who never made it much big. At least under that name; his career arc indicates he either got hurt and had to retire, or he switched names. As Jr. has turned up in small shows around Mexico City the last couple years, including teaming with As against Signo and Signo Jr. last November.

“Rene Guajardo Jr.” is more accurately Rene Guajardo III, but that’s just not what they say it. His father was still working Monterrey as recent as two years ago, and this one has only worked one EAW show last March.

Reforma has an interview with a Hijo starting today, El Hijo del Sicodelico. He hopes to beat Ultimo Guerrero for the heavyweight title someday. It’s good to have dreams.

AAA has an article on Halcon 78 returning to the promotion on an Oaxaca spot show. “Halcon 78” is from the first year of AAA; he was regimmicked into El Mexicano and worked with AAA all the way thru 2000. As El Mexicano, his name has been popping up on spot show lineups the last year or so, but I’m not sure what led him to go back to his old gimmick.

Box Y Lucha #2922 has the Bizarros on the cover. There’s also a new edition of their TV show.

Mistico tells Box Y Lucha that he’s got ideas for a big fifth anniversary celebration. Also, Mima Shimoda talks about her upcoming pictorial in H Por Hombres.

WagnerMania has an interview with Super Porky.

LuchandoLibre has an interview with the EAW promoters.

LuchaWorld has Robert on Monterrey from 05/02/04 and 05/09/04, as well as KrisZ’s news update.
