03/07 news

Ovaciones is down again, this time at the .com address. I wonder if they forget to pay their domain name bill.

I did check in on Saturday, where the lead was “the most interesting thing about Friday’s show happened before it, when a new comic book featuring the stars of CMLL was announced. Really, the show was that run of the mill.”

03/04 (FRI) Arena Mexico Results [CMLL.com]
1) Valiente & Meteorix b Polvora & Vaquero
2) Mascarita Sagrada/Bam-Bam/Tzuki b Pierrothito/Espectrito/Mini Violencia
3) Emilio Mephisto/Taguchi/Okumura b Satanico/Misteriso/Alan
4) Vampiro b Black Warrior [Lightning]
5) Cien Caras/Mascara 2000/Apolo b Porky/Negro/Mascara Magica
6) Wagner/Mistico/Dos Caras Jr. DQW Ultimo/Rey/Garza
Ultimo low blowed Mistico

No Heavy Metal (though he did turn up this weekend under Felino’s mask in Nacaulpan for IWRG), no offical 3/18 card announcement during the show (I figure Ovaciones has it and it’ll turn up later anyway.)

Big match to main event Tuesday:

La Diabolica, who’s listed as CMLL Women’s Champion but long ago left to be an indepedent wrestler (before I started watching) turned up in AAA six women’s tag match at the 3/4 TV Taping.

Maybe another recap tonight.

Or not. Blame GT4. And the lack of one hour shows I can sleep thru.

Thing that shall make it hard to work today: Lucha Libre Magazine. Internet Magazine, so all the articles and pictures are on the web, so it’s quite fun to browse thru.

Recap from 11/27

What aired today:

12/17 Arena Mexico Show
Averno/Hijo de Pierroth/Pierroth Jr. vs Virus/Felino/Sagrado [coliseo, 12/14]
Nitro/Dr. X/Hooligan vs Safari/Felino/Volador [Mex Trios]
Universo 2000 vs El Hijo del Perro Aguayo
Cien Caras/Mascara 2000 vs Vampiro/Pierroth [hair/hair]

On schedule. Next week will be Best Of, which is now correctly listed.

CMLL 11/27 (#160)
AAA 11/27 (times and finishes only. Not that there was much else to talk about.)

This show was taking up 12% of my hard drive; wish I realized it was doing so before I lost stuff because of no room. At least I won’t lose more.

Maybe another recap tonight.

Congress Theatre Show tommorow

Just a reminder about the FMLL/Congress show tommorow. Not sure if I’m going to make it out; lots of things I do need to be getting done, and I don’t know if I’m going to have the time/energy to go into the city for a card where I only have one guy I really want to see.

OTOH, I could take the train and I’ve got books to read. This’ll be a last minute decision.

Edit: Uh, not going. And apparently not checking my HTML.

updated Arena Mexico card

03/04 (FRI) Arena Mexico Lineup
1) Valiente & Meteorix vs Polvora & Vaquero
2) Mascarita Sagrada/Bam-Bam/Tzuki vs Pierrothito/Espectrito/Mini Violencia
3) Satanico/Misteriso/Alan vs Emilio/Taguchi/Okumura
4) Vampiro vs Black Warrior [Lightning]
5) Porky/Negro/Mascara Magica vs Cien Caras/Mascara 2000/Apolo
6) Wagner/Mistico/Dos Caras Jr. vs Ultimo/Rey/Garza

Heavy Metal is also scheduled to appear, and I guess we’ll find out who owns the name pretty quickly.

Tonight is when they’re offically annoucing the major card lineup, which I didn’t say correctly before. I wonder if the change in Lightining Matches might mean an added match – or maybe Black Warrior just wants revenge for the last singles match between them.

03/18 Lineup, v0.9

Robert suggested I guess at the oh so big 03/18 card. I couldn’t control my excitement, so I peeked without guessing.

03/18 (FRI) Arena Mexico Dos Leyenda Show
1) TBA
2) TBA
3) Dr. Wagner, Super Porky, Black Warrior vs Universo 2000, Apolo Dantes, Satanico
4) Atlantis, Blue Panther, Negro Casas vs Rey Bucanero, Averno, Mephisto
5) LA Park, Shocker, Mistico vs Hector Garza, Ultimo Guerrero, Tarzan Boy
6) Perro Aguayo Jr. and Perro Aguayo Sr. vs Mascara Ano 2000 and Cien Caras

This is pretty eh for a big card, but I guess they’re banking everything on Perro Aguayo Sr.’s One Time Only (and we really really meant it, really) Return. Everything else is uninspired.

They’ll announce the full card tommorow.

Ovaciones throws out a Ultimo/Mistico mask match, which is hilariously insane.

Edit: It’s not the offical release yet, shouldn’t be 1.0, uh duh.

03/03 news

Reports have Heavy Metal out, Ciberenetico in, and me still being really dumb when it comes to AAA. Winners all around!

I’m guessing they mention him leaving from AAA because they expect for him to show up elsewhere soon? Ovaciones sure thinks teaming with Felino and Negro during the March big show makes sense. I’m sure he’ll be around for the Negro Casas Victory Tour.

02/22 (TUE) Arena Coliseo Results [KrisZ]
1) Mini Olimpico/Ultimo Dragonicto b Fire/Sombrita
2) Brazo de Plata Jr./StarMAN/Ultimo Vampiro b Caligula/Jeque/Messala
3) Hijo del Texano/Tony Rivera/Virus b Hooligan/Loco Max/Nitro
4) Emilio/Okumura/Taguchi b Felino/Safari/Sagrado
5) Porky/Wagner/Niebla DQ Cien/MY2K/Universo

02/25 (FRI) Arena Mexico Results [KrisZ]
1) Tigre Blanco/Tigre Metalico b Koreano/Ramstein
2) Pierrothito/Espectrito/Mini Violencia b Bam-Bam/Mascarita Sagrada/Tzuki
3) Zumbido b Sangre Azteca [lightning]
4) Rey/Averno/Mephisto b Warrior/Negro/Satanico
5) Shocker/Atlantis/Panther b Perro/Garza/Tarzan
6) Mistico b Ultimo Guerrero
He’s UNSTOPPABLE

03/01 (TUE) Arena Coliseo Results [KrisZ]
1) Espiritu/Karisma/Molotov b Artillero/Flecha/Comando
2) Brazo de Plata Jr./Blanco/Metalico b Hooligan/Koreano/Ramstein
3) Safari/Sagrado/Virus b Dr. X/Nitro/Veneno
Ovaciones says best match of the night
4) Atlantis/Niebla/Shocker b Los Pierroths
5) Universo 2000 b Dr. Wagner Jr.
Two falls to none. Universo pulled Wagner’s mask before the match and now wants a UWA Title match.

On March 1st, Negro Casas got in on that “Averno makes you look good while defending your title belt” bit at Arena Aficion de Pachuca. I haven’t offically heard Averno lost, but I think it might be a safe bet.

03/04 (FRI) Arena Mexico Lineup
1) Valiente & Meteorix vs Polvora & Vaquero
2) Mascarita Sagrada/Bam-Bam/Tzuki vs Pierrothito/Espectrito/Mini Violencia
3) Zumbido vs Sangre Azteca [Lightning]
4) Satanico/Misteriso/Alan vs Emilio/Taguchi/Okumura
5) Porky/Negro/Mascara Magica vs Cien Caras/Mascara 2000/Apolo
he LIVES.
6) Wagner/Mistico/Dos Caras Jr. vs Ultimo/Rey/Garza

03/06 (SUN) Arena Coliseo Lineup
1) Mr. Rolling & Murcielago vs Terror Blanco & Magia Blanca
Mr. Rolling? I wonder where they borrowed this opener from
