Today’s supposed to be the last day of entry for ballots.
Right now, I’ve got
– tokage
– Falconer
– ME
And that’s the list. Anyone else going to send one in? I’m willing to wait a couple days if there’s a reason.
Results should be posted by the end of the week.
Recap #162 is done. 70% is what I posted about it last month, so you know.
I’ve added some sidelinks that are at least a month over due, as well as an AAA index, in it’s very infantacy.

Forget to upload this. Despite what my TiVo indicated last week, everthing is on normal times.
Saturday (a few minutes from now!): Depends on what they clipped, but they’ve got a SL trios match second, and a pretty good stellar match third. The main event is Pierroth match, which is predicitable, and the opener is a Wagner/Universo match from Coliseo which is unpredicatible. It could be lots of work, or it could be lots of cheap work with those two.
Sunday: This shall be goofy, because what’s next on the LdV schedule is a one hour, but they’ve got two hours scheduled. Perro/Casas should be on, but who knows.
Edit: Of course, what actually airs is two hours of AAA. Great. I can understand the idea, because there hasn’t been any new AAA in a month, but this is completely annoying. GALA has at least 13 hours of unaired CMLL footage sitting around gathering dust, untold amount of similiar AAA footage and six hours weekly to air it all and six hours of television time to air some of it each week, and yet they’re only succeeding in failing further and further behind.
Rant over. Here’s the listing of AAA matches aired
– Brandon/Gallito Coladro/Gitano vs Bobby Lee/Polvo/May Flower
– Angel Mortal/Mister Condor/Rebelde vs Diamond?/Chivas I & II
– Histeria/Apache/Alliens vs Oriental/Nautillius/Oscar Sevilla
– La Fiera/Pirata Morgan/Sangre Chicana vs Heavy Metal/Zorro/Lover
– Chessman/Cibernetico vs Parka/Octagon (c) [Mex Tag]
No idea on the date. If you can find a good source for AAA taping history, give me a heads up – this is actually a way where KrisZ isn’t perfect.

Ovaciones:
CMLL will kick off it’s Arena Mexico with a 16 man singles tournament. (2 eight man tournaments and one final, so it’ll take place over three week.) The gimmick is that it’ll only involve the sons of ‘retired’ wrestlers, and includes quite the varied level of performers. The 01/21 block is listed as
Brazo de Plata
Negro Casas
Misterioso Jr.
Alan Stone
Blue Demon Jr.
Shocker
Hector Garza
Averno
(I gotta believe Garza involvement may be subject to change)
They don’t name names for the second half, so let me see if I can figure 8:
1) El Hijo del Santo
2) El Hijo del Perro Aguayo.
3) Dr. Wagner Jr.
4) Felino
5) Chris Stone
6) Dos Caras Jr.?
7) Apolo Dantes
8) Emilio Charles Jr.
First 7/16th of the tournament is on 01/21, the second 7/16th is on 01/28 and the final is on 02/04.
If you’re wondering when they might do the Canek/Wagner match, 03/21 is announced as the yearly Santo/Lutteroth tribute show. They’re going to be doing a special show in Arena Coliseo during early April to celebrate an anniversary in that building, and the Gran Alternativa tournament is scheduled for May. (Will all these things happen on these dates? Who can say.)
Maximo = Brazo de Platino, son of Brazo de Plata. He says he wanted to forge a new image for himself, and he really liked that Gladiator movie. Really.

Steroids, amphetmines or other illict- take your guess! When you think about inspections at border crossings and aiprorts, and the rate of drug use in the wrestling business, it’s kind of a surprise this doesn’t happen more often, especially for guys who aren’t living in the US.
Garza isn’t booked on the main CMLL shows this week, but he’s surely got other Mexician bookings. Garza was expected to be on the 01/16 TNA Final Resoultion show, but he wasn’t at the TV taping on Tuesday so maybe they’re changing plans.
@thecubsfan.com E-Mails should be working again. Thanks for your patience.
01/04 Arena Coliseo results (Ovaciones)
01/04/05 (TUE) Arena Coliseo
1) Mano Negra JR., Molotov, Sombra de Plata b Messala, Caligula, Vaquero
2) Ramstein, Koreano, Jeque b Starman, Mr. Power, Chris Stone
I think this is the right result; may need to double check later
3) Felino pinned Mephisto to win a ten man cibernetico (others: Virus, Tigre Blanco, La Mascara, Tigre Metlico, Averno, Nitro, Maximo, Dr. X)
Felino wants a CMLL Welterweight Title match with Mephisto.
4) Pierroth, hijo de Pieroth, Pierroth Jr. b Dos Caras Jr., Mr. Niebla, Black Warrior
Pierroth yanked off Dos Caras’s mask in the deciding fall, Caras wants a no DQ rematch
It sounds like they added Negro Casas vs Tarzan Boy to this Sunday’s card as a bonus match.
the 01/02 Rey/Wagner match was reported as a bloody brawl. Rey got two stiches from when Wagner hit him with something.
wild speculation of the day: Ovaciones says that CMLL says that they’re going to give oppurtinties to new-er people this year. Names named are Volador Jr. Brazo de Plata Jr., Dr. X, La Mascara and Sangre Azteca.
