04/04: Mexico preview, Puebla, lineups, notes
Mr. Reyes for the Gladiatores
Mr. Reyes has more photos from last night's IWRG show and the recap shows in up in the Gladiator next week.
CMLL (FRI) 04/04 Arena Mexico
1) Molotov, Sombra de Plata, Starman vs Apocalipsis, Ramstein, Zayco
2) Máscara Púrpura, Stuka Jr., Súper Nova vs Loco Max, Ohara, Shigeo Okumura
3) Axxel, La Máscara, Sagrado vs Ephesto, Misterioso II, Virus
4) Averno, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mephisto vs Héctor Garza, Marco Corelone, Místico
5) LA Park vs Último Guerrero
ESTO hypes LA Park vs UG. Notimex talks up Mistico & Hector teaming up. Ovaciones profiles Axxel, as does ESTO. Everyone's now spelling his name with one 'x', so I'll break down and join them at some point soon. They keep pushing "grandson of Santo, son (in law) of Huracan Ramirez", as if to indicate it makes him greater than simply being a nieto de Santo. ESMAS is giving away tickets to the show to the first five people who email. They're long gone by now, but this seems to be a weekly thing.
CMLL (MON) 03/31 Arena Puebla [hugo999]
1) Black Terry, Fuerza Chicana, Negro Navarro b Centella de Oro, Lestat, the Tiger
2) Asturiano, Mascarita Dorada, Shockercito b Espiritu Maligno, Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Halloween
3) Loco Max, Nitro, Skandalo b Máximo, Metálico, Stuka Jr.
4) Averno, Mephisto, Texano Jr. b Grey Shadow, La Sombra, Valiente
5) Místico & Último Guerrero b Dr. Wagner Jr. & Terrible [ri]
When they can get along while being forced to team up, Mistico and UG win a bunch. Tecnicos won the second in two falls. Asturiano challenges for a minis title shot. He's listed at 5'4", but what the heck. Mini Damian's close to that.
ESTO's TripleMania announcement story says wrestlers from TNA and NOAH will be included. I'd assume that was at least half wrong, but triplea's site has the same thing.
Ovaciones says CMLL will be holding Kids Day on 04/30. It's a Wednesday at Arena Mexico (and they're just not running on Tuesday.) Atlantis, Mistico and Perros del Mal are scheduled.
Abismo Negro says he's neither tecnico nor rudo, he's a universal luchador. Abismo Negro vows to fight Rey Misterio Jr. for the Televisa Luchador of the Year award. Abismo Negro says a lot of things I don't pay attention too. Box Y Lucha #2864 has the three nominees on the cover.
AAA CANTU (MON) 03/31 Arena Cuatro Caminos de Nuevo Laredo [RFC]
1) Hombre Sin Miedo, Laredo Kid, Sangre Chicana DQ Decnnis, Scorpio Jr., Zumbido
2) Brazo de Plata, La Parka Jr., Octagón b Antifaz del Norte, Mr. Niebla, Psicosis II
CMLL (SAT) 04/05 Arena Solidaridad [INUYASHA 3000 @ box y lucha]
1) Caifan 69, Terrible, Texano Jr. vs Diluvio Negro, Hijo del Trueno, La Sombra
2) Místico & Volador Jr. vs Averno & Mephisto
CMLL (SUN) 04/06 Arena Neza
1) Súper Camaleón & Súper Tri vs Angel Perverso & Ministro
2) Chac Mool & Rayo Tapatío I vs Calígula & Méssala
3) Bam Bam & Mascarita Dorada vs Pequeño Damian 666 & Pequeño Halloween
There's an unannounced main event.
CMLL (SUN) 04/06 Gimnasio Nuevo Leon [INUYASHA 3000 @ box y lucha]
1) Neutron Jr., Stuka Jr., Tigre Universitario vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Rey Hechicero, Vaquero
AAA CANTU (MON) 04/07 Arena Cuatro Caminos de Nuevo Laredo [RFC]
1) Babe Rap, Principe Diamante, Street Boy vs Black Mamba, Rio Bravo, Tito Santana II
2) Casandro, Pimpinela Escarlata, Yuriko vs Astuto, Hombre Sin Miedo, Tigre Cota
3) Laredo Kid & Sangre Chicana vs Jaque Mate & Scorpio Jr.
4) Kenzo Suzuki, Mesias, Zorro vs Charly Manson, Chessman, Cibernetico
Jaque Mate told SuperLuchas that he was retiring within a year.
UMLL (SAT) 04/19 Centro de Espectaculos El Circulo [GuyVer @ el Martiente]
1) El Hijo Del Santo & Rey Misterio Sr. vs Hijo del Cien Caras & Super Parka
That's Santo's 25th Anniversary show. Tickets look expensive - $19 to $66 is more of a US play scale.
ESTO also runs the same Coliseo history article from Ovaciones earlier in the week.
WWE's announced lineups for it's WWE RAW tour in the end of May this week. They're six weeks away lineups, which gives them time to change no less than three times.
La Oreja writes about Shocker and Sangre Azteca visiting a new children's hospital in Neza. Ovaciones wrote about this yesterady and noted Black Warrior and Olimpico were also supposed to be there and did not show.
Mas_Solitario @ el Martiente reposts an 2004 el Halcon net article about the Dark Angel/Princesa Sujei mask match, which took place 4 years ago Wednesday. I miss when that website updated.

Could you imagine if TNA is contacting the AAA office trying to put a deal together? I'm sure the Roldan family would listen. Smart mind-fuck by TNA if that's what they are doing to fuck with Konnan. That would make sense.
Who is in charge of the luchawiki profiles? Ditto wikipedia?
What can TNA offer AAA? Unless they sending Homicide down there for a few months I don't really care. TNA sucks,Konnan hates TNA,Mexico don't care about TNA. So why even bother with these lames?
Outside Morishima, I don't think the audience care about NOAH either.
Regardless, I'm just suggesting the mind-fuck strategy behind why TNA might "offer" talent to AAA. And you know AAA would like some big name American stars down there. We all know it.
When was the last non-PPV week a trios match opened up an Arena Mex show?
The more i look at tonight's card, it will be a shame if none of it airs, it ain't a bad lineup at all. Although if none of it makes air, you know what will happen - Ultimo/Park won't just be the usual run of the mill, boring, by numbers CMLL singles match as per every single other one lately - they'll go balls out and work a MOTYC :(
Does a Neutron Jr even exist, or was the guy on Boxylucha just confused after typing 'jr' after Stuka? Need to know as GNL Main could equal TV potential for Jimmy Neutron. I won't even get my hopes up for GdR or FSE as there's no way they'll air last Sundays Coliseo segunda over a womens Friday segunda. :)
There's your unannounced main event:

replying to Rob
well never mind
The research department is working on Henrik's first question.
Not sure why Konnan would take an indy date over tv, unless he got the date long before AAA knew about the tv date.
So who does luchawiki profiles?
replying to Henrik
Okay, 01/04/08 had an opening match trios, but that's because they were doing the minis cibernetico. From there, you have to go back to June 1st, when Aguila and Sagrado main evented as part of the Leyenda de Plata.
AND NOW YOU KNOW.
Who does luchawiki profiles? Anyone who wants to.
I like that outfit that Dark Angel used to use: the one that appears to be an homage to the Canada Cup jerseys.
Mexico caught up to daylights saving last Sunday, right? So CMLL should air 4pm EST tmrw?
Nope, my PCs mysteriously adjusted to the daylight saving hour last Sunday, but it's actually next Sunday the right one.
Doh, that sucks. The earlier time would have helped me out this week.
