Though the DVDVR guys didn’t dig his IWRG action, Veneno is cool, at least to me. Probably because 90% of the times I’ve seen him in CMLL, he’s either acting universally goofy in a sketch, or he’s wrestling in a match with Pierroth (which makes you seem more dynamic in comparision.)
He’s getting a decent coverage in Ovaciones today – here’s his interview talking about the match and his faction with Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro and Scorpio – because he’s got a title match tonight in Arena Naucalpan.
IWRG 01/13/05 (THU) Arena Naucalpan (KrisZ)
1) Sibelius vs Rey Estruendo
2) Colt Master & Ultra Mega vs Caballero Azteca & Macho II
3) Avisman/Micke Segura/Star Boy vs Cerebro Negro/Dr. Cerebro/Paramedico
4) Matrix [c] vs Veneno for the IWRG Intercontinental Middleweight Championship
5) Black Dragon/Dos Caras/Dr. Wagner Jr. vs Fuerza Guerrera/Hijo del Canek/Negro Casas
Can someone smarter to me explain the deal with CMLL and IWRG? Is IWRG considered by CMLL a second tier promotion, and that’s why CMLL workers are free to work there? Their undercards are vastly different, but their main events wouldn’t look too out of place on non-Arena Mexico CMLL card.
Other News: AAA’s starting up again on 2/4, and Tinieblas Jr. may be joining them. He’s been seen around their offices.
CMLL confirmed that Perro Aguayo will return…at some point. I think someone’s taking the Coliseo season off, but what do I know.

CMLL has always had a good relationship with Arena Naucalpan(even before the IWRG name existed). The Moreno family owns the arena and have always used CMLL talent. The arena was where guys like Canek, Pantera, Heavy Metal, Mr. Niebla and Arkangel to name a few, got their first big pushes which led them to get noticed and “brought up to the big time”. You know most luchadors are independant contractors so they can work where they want. Now obviously Wagner won’t go work a Pena show b/c it would piss Paco off but otherwise he can work wherever and whenever he wants.
IWRG undercarders are usually pretty bland and when you’ve seen one, you’ve seem ’em all so be happy CMLL doesn’t keep bringing their guys in.:)
