Your New CMLL Mini’s Champion is Mini Olimpico. He beat former champion Mini Pierroth this past Tuesday (12/9) at Arena Coliseo in Mexico City. I think this might get spun as “further breakup of the Boricuas.” Mini Olimpico was the one who demasked Mini Violencia earlier this year, so it’s been prety good for him.
In case you’ve been wondering since Saturday, Tigre Blanco and Brazo de Oro defeated Dr. X and Holligan.
CMLL.com makes it sound like Angel Azteca will be sticking around for a while, even after losing the mask. (Maybe he’ll lose his hair too?). I’m not sure if I’m reading this note right, but Commando Girl/La Nazi may not be a part of Pierroth’s new group.
Here’s Ark with his new mask, because that photo always is cool.
Also, Giant Silva is King of the World, until all those people in leather jackets go after him. The recap of the match says that Violencia, Veneno and Nitro (wondering about that last loose end) helped Universo win.
Safari, Volador Jr. and Felino have decided on a team name of Trio Centella 2003. 2003 is almost over! They should’ve just gone 2004.
They also push Virus as a man unafraid of taking on people larger than him, and putting fear into the heart of the other light (heavyweight) champion, Ultimo Guerrero.
This Friday is (really!) the last Arena Mexico show of the year. Lineup has a few intersting bits:
– Rayo Jr./L.A. Park (La Parka using a different name – may be able to make TV this way?)/Universo 2K vs Perro Jr./Pierroth/Ultimo Guerrero
(What the heck is Ultimo doing there? Universo and Rayo getting along probably won’t work.)
– Atlantis/Shocker/Mascara Magica vs Dr. Wagner/Tarzan Boy/Black Tiger
– Satanico/Alan Stone/Aztec Angel vs Arkangel/Averno/Mephisto
(Satanico wants to make the split strong and for real. Which sucks.)
– Tigre Blanco/Pantera/Neutron vs Nitro/Dr. X/Loco Max
– Sombra de Plata/Astro Boy vs Super Comando/Messala
I did do another TV, but I forget which one. It wasn’t very good! I still need to catch up a bit.
