your week in lucha news

Everything at once because that’s all the time I got before these things turn even more dated.

That TLN schedule is goofy. (Goofy enough for me to track? Eh..) I think they’re going to be perputally behind GALA if they keep showing random AAA episodes and those two hour CMLL episodes show up. Hope for a timeslot increase.

Last I’ve heard about Garza is he’s in Houston, waiting to settle things before leaving the country so he has no problems getting in or out.

My scattered ELL-MEX show thoughts are on the main blog. I’d like to do a preview of this weekend’s card, but we don’t actually have a card, which I think means ‘bring a book and a night light this time’.

CMLL 01/14 (FRI) Arena Coliseo Results (KrisZ)
1) Explosivo & Sombra de Plata b Polvora & Vaquero
2) Arkangel, Veneno, Holligan b Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metalico, Chris Stone
3) Misterioso, La Mascara, Maximo b Mascara Magica, Dr. X, Loco Max
4) Ultimo Guerrero, Averno, Mephisto b Dr. Wagner, Satanico, Super Porky
5) Tarzan Boy, Rey Bucanero, Olimpico b Atlantis, Blue Panther, Mistico

CMLL 01/16 (SUN) Arena Coliseo – unknown? Usual irrelevant Sunday card.

CMLL 01/18 (TUE) Arena Coliseo Results (KrisZ)
1) Tzuki & Ultimo Dragoncito b Espectrito y Sombrita
2) Ramstein Y Caligula b Tigre Metalico Y StarMAN
3) Brazo de Oro, Maximo, Texano Jr. b Arkangel, Dr. X, Holligan
4) Okumura, Hijo de Pierroth, Pierroth Jr. b Felino, La Mascara, Safari
5) Parajes Incredible tournament

1st Round (A): Casas/Universo b Emilio/Satanico
1st Round (B): Porky/Pierroth b Canek/Dos Caras Jr.
Final: Porky/Pierroth b Casas/Universo

Ovaciones said Porky was rudoing it up big time, especially in the main event. That’d be fun to see. Canek got annoyed by an accidental shot from Caras and low blowed him.

CMLL 01/21 (FRI) Arena Mexico Return Show Lineup
1) Koreano Y Polvora vs Sombra de Plata Y Valiente
2) Virus, Tigre Blanco Y Neutron vs Sangre Azteca, Nitro Y Loco Max
3) Mistico, Black Warrior Y Sagrado vs Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero Y Mephisto
4) La Copa Jr, part 1: 8 man elimination tournament with Blue Demon, Brazo de Plata, Negro Casas, Alan Stone, Misterioso II, Shocker, Averno, Hector Garza
5) Atlantis Y Blue Panther [c] vs Rey Bucanero Y Olimpico [CMLL TAG]

Garza may get switched with a guy scheduled for next week, if he’s not avaiable.

CMLL 01/25 (SUN) Arena Coliseo Lineup
1) Rayo Tapatios vs Flecha Y Jeque
2) Tony Rivera, Ringo Mendoza, Brazo de Oro vs Mr. Mexico, Arkangel, Masada
3) Felino, Mascara Magica Y Sagrado vs Black Tiger, Emilio Charles, Y Okumura
4) Satanico, Negro Casas Y Safari vs Tarzan Boy, Mascara 2000, Y Olimpico
5) Shocker, Blue Panther Y Black Warrior vs Pierroth, Ultimo Guerrero Y Rey Bucanero

NJPW’s Ryusuke Taguchi is due on starting with the 01/29 Tuesday Coliseo show. No lineup yet. No idea how long he’s in for.

Ovaciones says Super Comando’s been out of action since last December due to a head injury (sounds like a concussion.) He should be back in two or three weeks.

Atlantis is getting new music. It’ll debut Friday – wonder if he’ll have it on Saturday?

Lucha Times Updated.

I didn’t catch Sunday’s lucha this week – did anyone? I may be a bit off as a result, but then again, they’re running into the ‘not taped’ bunch right here anyway, so it’s not like I had a good chance anyway.

Saturday: Another two hour show. Or maybe AAA? The middle (a SL trios, Shocker’s Tecnicos vs the Fury of the North) look good->real fun, but I’d presume at least one of those are clipped. Wagner/Universo could possibly be good – I can’t beleive that about the main event.

Sunday: See the match people really dug – Zumbido vs Averno. (Maybe.)
