Day: March 2, 2004

I forgot to mentioned it earlier, and now Ovaciones doesn’t have it up any more, but they had a report from what I presume was Shocker’s press confrence. Just mostly the same group of names, with the added tidbit that they’d be doing matches weekly on Arena Coliseo, in different forms (like singles and trios), with the losers eliminated. No phone support polls, just lose and you’re out. Won’t start till after 3/19 show, and we’ll see if they follow through.

Lots of cross over. CMLL was listed on the first three (the episode from two weeks ago, and none previous or later so who knows if this ongoing thing), but I only see on the third. Probably because people have stopped seeding?

Bit Torent can be slow (given how many people are sharing at once, it’s agnozing to get a mean speed of 8kps on files in the 100s of megs) and files are only available if someone’s actively sharing them. But, hey, it’s there.

They had been hyping the show as “Sin Piedad” during some of their commericals, but in smaller type compared to UNIVERSO vs PIERROTH. Volador as Jarmoir Jagr #1 Fan was unprecedented awesome.

Shocker and LA Park, showing tremendous foresight, walked out of the Arena Mexico main event before Vampiro could completely turn rudo (having passively let his “teammates” been beat the first fall) and treat them to a 4 on 2 beating. Instead, Vampiro got beat by Black Warrior. So Vamp’s now a rudo, but his first big match is agianst (rudo) Black Warrior

I’m rooting for Black Warrior, so he’ll have at least one of the belts that’s in his introduction video. (Or is that the CMLL LH one? Tough to tell how old it is…) At any rate, since Vamp seems part time, I wouldn’t bet on him holding on to the title here.

The other news out of Friday’s show was Olimpico (still working as a tecnico some places, but not here) led his team with Super Crazy and Zumbido over the Mex National Trios Champs Volador Jr., Safari and Felino in a non-title match, so they’ll get a rematch on the big 3/19 show. Champs won their titles in a tournament final (that aired this past week) over a team of Zumbido, Super Crazy, and Alan Stone, so the question is if subbing in Olimpico is enough to make the difference.

The (for now) 3/19 card is now
– LA Park/Shocker (c) vs Ultimo Guerrero/Rey Bucanero for the CMLL Tag Team Titles
– Terrble/el Hijo del Perro Aguayo vs Mascara Ano 2000/Cien Caras [double hair]
– Volador Jr./Felino/Safari vs Olimpico/Zumbido/Super Crazy
– Negro Casas/Super Porky/Sagrado vs Fuerza Guerrera/Averno/Mephisto
– Star Boy/Neutron/Zetta vs Sangre Azteca/Holligan/Ramstein

Getting back to this week’s show, the semi main is Guapos/Park vs Universo/Mascara/Ultimo/Rey, as the hair and tag team title issues meld into one match, plus Mascara Magica returns to Arena Mexico for the first time after Universo gave him a Tombstone a few weeks ago.

Dr. Wagner Jr. and Black Tiger are on the next AJPW tour from 3/20 to 3/28, culiminating with an All Asia Tag Team title shot on 3/28.

Remind me to tell you about finding CMLL on the ‘net via BitTorrent.
