05/10 news

Must wake up. At some point.

I have pages of notes; let’s see if I can use them.

CMLL

CMLL (FRI) Arena Mexico 05/06 Results [O’Campo]
1) Rayos Tapatios b Super Comadno, Polvora
2) La Mascara, Ricky Marvin, Virus b Dr. X, Hooligan, Loco Max
Guess who pinned who in the final fall? Yes.
3) Atlantis, Satanico, Black Warrior b Black Tiger, Taguchi, Okumura
4) Heavy Metal, Dos Caras Jr., Ultimo Dragon b Ultimo Guerrero, Averno, Mephisto
Seems like they’re building an issue between the Ultimos
5) L.A. Park, Mistico, Dr. Wagner b Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Hector Garza, Tarzan Boy
The head of Televisa was at ringside, and all the tecnicos gave him a mask. It doesn’t look like much in the finishes – tecnicos taking straight two falls by DQs – but both Ovaciones and Super Luchas said this was a great match.

All the tecnicos won. How odd.

CMLL (SUN) Arena Coliseo 05/08 Results
1) Sombra de Plata & Zetta ? Zayko & Flecha
2) Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metalico, Texano Jr. ? Ramstein, Mogur, Guerrero del Futuro
3) Sangre Azteca, Mr. Mexico, Nitro b Zumbido, Misterioso, Brazo de Oro
4) Emilio Charles, Universo 2000, Mascara 2000 b Canek Jr., Hijo De Pierroth Mephisto, Pierroth Jr.
The particpants of this match and the next match mixed it up in between matches, with the fathers helping out their sons.
5) Rayo de Jalisco, Negro Casas Ultimo Dragon, Black Warrior b Canek, Pierroth, Tarzan Boy

CMLL (TUE) Arena Coliseo 05/10 Lineup
This is a special Mother’s Day show, oddly enough. Google translated Ovaciones’ headline on that story to “THE BREASTS FREE”.
1) Ultimo Dragoncito, Mini Olimpico, Bam Bam vs Espectrito, Fire, Sombria
2) Tony Rivera, Brazo de Oro, Chris Stone vs Masada, Taguchi, Okumura
3) Rayo de Jalisco Jr, Brazo De Plata, Mascara Sagrada vs Pierroth, Terrible, Emilio
4) Tiger Mask I, Negro Casas, Black Warrior vs Tarzan Boy, Averno, Mephisto
They’re listing him as Satoru Sayama “Tiger Mask”. This show hasa 7:30 start time; Tiger Mask and Ultimo Dragon are also supposed to main event a show in Hidalgo at 8:45.
5) Universo 2000 vs Dos Caras Jr. [CMLL Heavy]
This comes off interaction in last Tuesday’s Coliseo match. Don’t know anything, but a title change wouldn’t shock me.

CMLL (FRI) Arena Mexico 05/13 Lineup
1) Leono, Meteorix vs Flecha, Artillero
2) Ricky Marvn, Zumbido, Alan Stone vs Sangre Azteca, Mr. Mexico, Loco Max
3) Dr. X vs La Mascara [MEX WELTER]
Yea, he finally accepted the challenge. Since Dr. X has never won leading up, you’d think he’d get a win here, but La Mascara is a CMLL Character.
4) Heavy Metal, Mascara Magica, Negro Casas vs Hector Garza, Damian 666, Halloween
5) Tiger Mask I, Ultimo Dragon, Dos Caras Jr. vs GdI (Ultimo, Rey, Tarzan.)
Yep, Rey. We’ll probably find out if it means anything later.
6) Mistico vs el hijo del Perro Aguayo
This was originally announced as a title match for Mistico’s NWA Middleweight Title, before everyone realized Perro’s not close enough to that weight limit to fake it. Can Mistico add another to his hit list?

CMLL (SUN) Arena Coliseo 05/15 Lineup
1) Sombra de Plata, Zetta vs Jeque, Super Comando
2) Tigre Blanco, Texano Jr vs Arkangel, Veneno
3) Sangre Azteca, Nitro, Dr. X, Loco Max, Hooligan vs Zumbido, Ricky Marvin, Virus, Safari, Misterioso [cibernetico]
Another ‘Guerreros vs CMLL’ encounter.
4) Dos Caras Jr., Felino, Satanico vs Masada, Okumura, Taguchi
5) Tiger Mask I, Heavy Metal, Ultimo Dragon vs Hector Garza, Black Tiger, Terrible

Really wish this all ended on tape somehow.

Olimpico Update: He’s working in the ring and lifting weights. His next doctor’s appointment is in 15 days. Olimpico sounds very happy he’s beating back the six month projection.

Tigre Update: On Sunday, Blanco and Metalico visited the offices of Ovaciones to publically challenge Averno and Mephisto to give them a tag team championship match.

Atlantis Update: Atlantis ALSO wants another tag team shot. He says, in Tuesday’s Ovaciones, that the kids show was a big success and they’ll be running another one on 07/30.

Gronda Update: Like L.A. Park, he’s changing his name and his look (see the Super Lucha cover) just enought to evade prosecution, and he’s headed into CMLL in June.

Que Monitro Update: He’s going back to a general purpose CMLL mascot instead of sticking with one person. Doesn’t want to get his heart broken again, I presume.

AAA

AAA’s story on Shocker is he’d really like to be a TripleMania, but since he’s got a real chance of winning TNA’s X Championship on the same day, they gotta let him try for it.

On Monday, there was an article previewing the TripleMania card again, but not much new. Vampiro vs Konnan will be No DQ, which was to be expected.

This week’s jump rumor: Abismo Negro.

Revolution--

Haven’t seen results from Sunday’s show as of yet.

Box Y Lucha’s cover, and the poster inside is a AAA in Japan collage.

Super Lucha’s cover – Gronda with a “Batman” cowl. I don’t know when the Wagner/Park match is, or if they’re even going against each other; Ovaciones added Santo, Super Parka, and Perro Aguayo to the particpants.

Halcon.net has an interview with Veneno.
