I don’t know how good Lizmark/Vampiro vs Ultimo/Rey was, but it sure made for some fantastic pictures. While Ultimo appears auditioning for a role in a Azteca-themed Scorpion King remake, Rey’s gone blond. I bet he wondered if they do have more fun.
The great thing about the news page on CMLL.com is the unabashed speculation of it all. In 5 paragraphs, they manage to tease all of these matches:
– Pierroth vs Cien Carras, hair vs hair (contract signing on the 5th, no match date)
– Bestia Salvaje vs Villano III, hair vs hair
– Bestia Salvaje/Black Warrior vs Villano III/Villano IV, hair/mask vs hair/mask
– Mr. Mexico vs Takemura, hair vs hair
I’d give you the whole list of lucha guys in the DVDVR but I know I’d miss half of the AAA and Indy guys…
And a couple hours later, CMLL.com updates.
Cien Caras vs Pierroth is on for a hair/hair match, date TBA. Bet on the Annivesery show. You know, if everyone involved didn’t thoroughly suck, Pierroth going through all the Capos to lead up to a hair/mask match vs Universo 2000 would be a fantastic angle. Unfortunatly, reality has issues with all of that.
The mysterious person they were hyping up as debuting soon a while back isn’t Heat. Or Heat’s now Asylum. Whoever, they wrestle in San Juan Arena on the 8th before appearing in Arena Mexico. (Reading the last update again, they say Heat will show up in the next “fortnight”, which means he could be around next week and I might have jumped the gun. Sorry.)
Rayo Jalisco returns on the 8th vs Mascara Ano 2000, in a rematch from where Rayo suffered that head injury. Doesn’t sound like it’s a WWA Title match.
Ultimo and Rey beat Vampiro and Lizmark for the Tag Team Titles – CMLL claims it’s their 33th title defense, which I have a few doubts about.
Upcoming house shows have Black Warrior/Dr. Wagner (in a special “aren’t they both supposed to be rudos now” match) and Negro Casas/Dr. Wagner main events.
Not on CMLL.com: It looks like Nicho might have jumped to AAA; it would explain why he’s not appearing on any CMLL cards.
This week’s TV taping lineups:

Infernales vs Halloween/Damien 666/Violencia
Gran Markus/Mascara Ano 2000/Veneno vs Pierroth/Sadam/Takemura
Safari/Angel Azteca/Pantera vs Alianza (Hooligan/Sangre Azteca/Ramstein)
Sombre de Plata/Mano Negro Jr. vs Flecha/Super Comando
Hype blurb for the semi-final still pushes the Mexican Trios rematch, and a cage match. I thought Super Comando was in the Alliance? Perhaps they’ve expanded.
You know, if the DVDVR guys can put [insert wrestler name here] all the way up at [insert number here], while keeping the much more worthy [name here] down at [number here], we still could make our list with just the same amount of sanity and reason.
Look at that, I just predicted the future, about 4-5 hours ahead of time; the new DVDVR 500 is due out this evening. Ultimo better be ahead of Shocker, that’s all I got to say.
No news at the moment (read: KrisZ hasn’t posted anything lucha-specfic that I can borrow) but I felt like posting. And that’s kinda what just happened.
