Arena Mexico Results (all thanks to KrisZ ’cause I can’t find them myself)
– Hooligan/Loco/Sangre d Neutron/Power/Blanco
– Atlantis/Rayo/Shocker d Tiger/Terrible/Universo
– Averno/Mephisto/Pierroth d. Felino/Niebla/Volador Jr.
– Perro/Negro/Dragon d GdI (Ultimo pins Ultimo!)
– Dr. Wagner Jr. defeated Canek. Mask ripping ensued. Wagner got a little help from – Dr. Wagner Sr.?!? Or more likely someone else under the mask screwing with Canek. Canek got stretchered out. I know Canek and Wagner are well into “Will Never EVER Drop Their Mask” territory, but it sure kinda feels like they’re building to a mask/mask match here. Or maybe I’m a mark. Who can say.
Ultimo Dragon told the fans that he’d back, and maybe hang around longer that time. Reports have the show as being Really Good.
This Week’s Card
– Ultimo Dragoncito/Pequeno Olimpico vs Espectrito/Fire
– Pantera/Starman/Neutron vs Dr. X/Nitro/Azteca
– Guapos Tournament Final: Texano/Misterioso/Oro vs Espiritu/Vikingo/Maximo
(which means I was wrong this week, though I sure I read the finish the other way. It’s fixed.)
– Atlantis/Rayo/Panther vs Ultimo/Rey/Tarzan
– Shocker/Lizmark/Casas vs Vampiro/Tarzan/Pierroth
I’m thinking this won’t get the same Real Good comments. As a follow up to Canek/Wagner, both of them will take the week off.
Other matches of note
– No more Guapos matches in Arena Coliseo. Sunday’s main is Atlantis/Lizmark/Panther vs Vampiro/Universo/Tarzan, and Tuesday’s is Shocker/Panther/Warrior vs Pierroth/Emilio/Scorpio
– Mr. Niebla is CMLL Heavyweight Champion, in case you’ve forgotten (and sometimes I do, so don’t feel bad.) He’s actually going to defend the title versus Tienieblas Jr. in Arena Pubela on Monday.
– Dr. Wagner will be wrestling in Guadalajara today, facing Atlantis for a Guadlajara Trophy. As if they needed a reason.
– Acapulco got added to the on line show listings, but they’re not actually updating the lineup. Eh.
By request, I put together a list of Best of Lucha (I’ve seen). That’s the prompt for you to say “Why haven’t you seen [x]? It’s really very good” so I can make some changes and order some tapes.
Noticed while compiling: My Best of GdI part 2 recap is either missing, or I totally forgot about it till now. Not sure. If someone can find the non-badly formatted and not edited copy magically, that’d be neat
