Felino/Casas----                 |
                |Power/Tarzan----
Power/Tarzan----

Even though Mr. Power was just a fill-in for Emilio and they probably didn’t change the booking, that’s quite the upset. Maybe Negro and Felino had another booking and had to leave early.
4) Dr. Wagner Jr. b Rey Bucanero

Ovaciones, in noting the usual post match (false) stake match challenges, mentioned Wagner is still UWA Heavyweight Champion, which solves that mystery.

Doing it for the kids: On Monday, Ovaciones carried a story with Atlantis announcind on 04/30, for any show he works that day, he’ll pay for free tickets for any kid who brings a toy for needy children. The day may change, but it’s a pretty cool idea.

On his own career note, Atlantis mentions it wasn’t just a broken rib from Dr. Wagner that caused him to sit out the last few weeks of the year, but also a broken nose at the hands of Rey Bucanero. While he was out of action, he thought up plans to do children’s clothing. That’s probably more thinking than I’d do with a busted nose and rib.

Atlantis’ goal for 2005 is revenge on Wagner, and it sounds like he doesnt’ trust him as a tecnico.

Ask him about ALUSHE: Tinieblas Jr. is doing a chat with boxylucha.com on 01/10 at noon. (I assume Mexico City time – CST).

Return to Arena Mexico: CMLL.com says they’re back in the building on 01/21.

This is hyped as a “Tag Team Champs & Mistico! vs GdI” match, so Tarzan has apparently managed to keep membership in good standing with two rudo groups at the same time. He’s a talented man.

Believe it or not, there’s a lucha surplus in Chicago; there are enough shows, I may not actually go to ’em all. 3 more January lucha shows were announced today, to go with the 2 ones later in the month. (Hence, new category.) I’ve gone over the OELL ones last month, but I’m gonna put the whole calendar here to keep it straight.

(thanks to ChicagoWrestling.com)

01/08 – ELL-MEX, Congress Theater, Chicago (7:30 bell)
(where there’s NO PLACE TO PARK, but I think I saw a Blue line stop nearby? So maybe I’ll take that next time.)
$10 adults, $5 kids. No VIP seats this time, or they’re all the same price regardless. I wonder if that might have to do with no Outside guys on the card; it’s all the OMLL talent.

1) TBA
2) TBA
3) SWAT Kat and Mascara de Jade vs Malefico I and II
4) Discover, Principe Franky and Aguila del America vs Principe Azteca, Infernal, Martin Escobedo

01/15 – ELL-MEX, Congress Theater, Chicago
card TBA

01/22 – ELL-MEX, Congress Theater, Chicago
Scheduled to appear: Atlantis, Super Porky, Villano III, el Hijo Del Santo

01/29/05 – Cicero, IL (Sat)
($25 vip/$15 adult/$7 child, doors open at 6:30)
1) Horoscopo/Lanza Llamas vs Yakuza/Dragon
2) Principe Franky/Swat Cat vs Mr. Coraje/Reo
3) XTassis/Silver Star vs Guerrerito del Futuro/Mini Halloween
4) Felino/Virus vs Rey Bucanero/Ultimo Guerrero

01/30/05 – Aurora, IL (Sun)
($25 vip/$15 adult/$7 child, doors open at 6:30)
1) Mascara de Jade vs Swat Cat
2) Principe Frankky/Sagitario vs Mr. Coraje/Holy Terror
3) Xtassis/Silver Star vs Guerrerito del Futuro/Mini Halloween
4) Felino/Virus vs Rey Bucanero/Ultimo Guerrero

I’m planning on going 01/22 and 01/30 show at least. I’m tempted to go to the 01/29, and the other ones depends on what comes together. Also, jtron may make some nice change if he can tape some of these.

4) Dr. Wagner Jr./Negro Casas/Mr. Niebla vs Canek/Rey Bucanero/Tarzan Boy
5) Mistico defeats Averno for the NWA Middleweight championship

I was kinda figuring this as a possible MOTYC; early reports had the traditional sign of a really good match (fans giving the wrestlers money for being so good), so maybe I’m right. Being as it was a Saturday show, it may never air – although they have to be morons to let that happen, since Mistico’s obviously their boy (and I mean that in a kind way.)

01/02/05 (Sunday Coliseo)

Today’s Ovaciones article seems to indicate a Rey/Wagner main event, but it’s not listed on CMLL.com

Ovaciones, taking the place of the unupdated CMLL.com, floats a “Niebla wants the CMLL HW Championship again” angle. It also says Sangre Azteca has returned from a one month abscene due to arm injury. Didn’t even know he was gone.

Arena Neza, closed down for two years, may reopen later this year.
