News of 02/23

I’m really annoyed for not saving the Ovaciones story where CMLL was talking about not only bringing in Familia de Tijuana for a full Feb-Dec run, but going after Rey Mysterio Jr. Can’t blame them for setting their sights high (though perhaps they shouldn’t be high when setting their sights.)

And now Ovaciones is down. Booooo. That’s half my fun.

Let’s do the results dump instead.

Arena Mexico (FRI) 02/18 Results [KrisZ]
1) Neutron, Sombra de Plata b Super Comando, Artillero
2) Taguchi/Okumura/Masada b Alan/Sagrado/Misterioso II
3) Cien Caras/MascaraY2K/Universo2K b Pierroth/Vampiro/Tiger
4) Mistico/Negro/Warrior DQ Ultimo/Rey/Averno
Story seems to be Ultimo and company beating the crap out of Mistico to the point of the first fall being overturned for excessive violence, and ending the match with a Ultimo low blow on Mistico. Mistico wants revenge this Friday.
5) Shocker/Wagner/Dos Caras b Garza/Tarzan/Terrible
No tension between Wagner and Shocker after the Copa Jr. final.

02/20 (SUN) Arena Coliseo Results [KrisZ]
1) Pequeno Olimpico & Bracito de Oro b Sombrita & Gitanito
2) Guerrero del Futuro & Reyes Veloz b Tigre Metalico & Brazo de Plata Jr.
3) Mr. Mexico, Sangre Azteca, Hooligan b Ringo Mendoza, Tony Rivera, Texano Jr.
4) Satanico, Black Warrior, Mascara Magica b Bestia Salvaje, Taguchi [NJPW] , Okumura
5) Dr. Wagner, Brazo de Plata, Negro Casas b Vampiro, Ultimo Guerrero, Emilio Charles
6) Rayo de Jalisco Jr. b Canek [WWA Heavyweight Championship]

On 02/21, Mistico delivered his weakly singles beatdown to Averno for the NWA Middlweight Title in Arena Puebla. I need a money mark to take that match to Aurora, please.

hmm, tag champs making a rare appearance together this far up the card, and we’ve got no undercard for the March show yet.
6) Mistico vs Ultimo Guerrero
this might be okay.

02/27 (FRI) Arena Mexico Lineup
1) Rayo Tapatios I y II vs Felcha y Polvora
2) Tony Rivera, Texano Jr., Chris Stone vs Dr. X, Mogur, Guerrero del Futuro
3) Safari, Brazo de Oro, Virus vs Bestia Salvaje, Arkangel, Mr. Mexico
4) Atlantis, “Blue Anther”, Zumbido vs Emilio Charles, Taguchi, Okumura
Typos are funny! (when they’re not mine.)
5) Shocker, Rayo de Jalisco, Negro Casas vs Hector Garza, Ultimo Guerrero, Tarzan Boy

Perro Aguayo Sr. held a press confrence to hype up the double hair/hair match. He’s got a doctor’s note clearing him, but this is his one and only return match (and Cien Caras’ last match too, maybe.) Getting revenge for Unvierso on his brothers sounds good enough for him. Capos ran in on the press confrence, but were shouted down by the Aguayo’s back up – Pierroth, La Nazi (who CMLL is alternately calling Lt. Arms de Buenos Aires, haha), and Vampiro. Weird alliances.

AAA 02/20 Arena Solidarida for TV [KrisZ]
1) Espiritu/Nygma/Picudo/Silver Cat b Los Kumbia Kings
2) Pimpinela lost to Rosa Blanca, Sexy Francis, Sexy Libra, May Flowers, Polvo de Estrellas [cage/last loses hair]
3) Tiffany b Lady Apahce, La Choa, Dark Angel, Fabi Apache, Cinthia Moreno, Poly Star, Princesa Blanca, Pricesa Sugeith, Simply Luscious, Martha Villalobos [Reina de Reinas]
4) Diluvio Negro I/Intocable/Zorro b Aguila/Manson/Mngol Chino
5) Gronda/Lover/Parka b Abismo/Chessman/Tinieblas

I thought they were only doing qualifying for by RdR tournaments on this show, but I guess they actually did the women’s one here, and will do the Men’s all on one show later.

I lack the proper place to discuss this, but

Toryumon Mexico, 02/27 [KrisZ]

3) Gail Kim vs Nidia
4) Atlantis/Blue Panther/The Tiger (Ultimo Dragon) vs Hector Garza/Tarzan Boy/Ultimo Guerrero

That third match, I may never get over it. Gail Kim being in Toryumon may cause the universe to implode. And if it doesn’t, she’ll be pretty weirded out when she sees herself on her Toryumon tapes, I figure.
