07/11 news

While superlucha’s board is not up, Ernest O’Campo’s report on last Friday’s Arena Mexico show can be found here. The main page of the forum can be found @ http://miarroba.com/foros/ver.php?id=243340. (Thanks again, Raquel.)

His take on the main event was both sides started the match as tecnicos, but the crowd inexplicably started booing Atlantis. Wagner attacked Ke Monito (who was here with Atlantis) between the first and second falls, and then again between the second and third (taking a stretcher ride that time), and yet they still cheered Wagner and booed Atlantis. Weird. Who will they cheer when they go one on one this week?

Bronco’s apparently changed his outfit, toning down the horse aspects a bit. Best match of the night was the Japan/Virus/Rivera/Maximo one.

Low blow finish. Can you believe it?
5) Atlantis, Blue Panther, Negro Casas b Tarzan Boy, Rey Bucanero, Pierroth
Pierroth and GdI made peace before the match, and then Pierroth ended up costing his team by trying to get the pinfall for himself once again. The rudos argued post match. Pierroth better not be turning tecnico.

CMLL (SUN) 07/17 Arena Coliseo Lineup [cmll]
1) Rayos Tapatios vs Mesala & Caligula
2) StarMan, Kronos, Valiente vs Ramstein, Reyes Veloz, Guerrero Del Futuro
Lucha Insider said Kronos is Brazo de Plata Jr. This is the first we’ve seen of him.
3) Pantera, Trueno, Texano Jr. vs Arkangel, Dr. X, Sangre Azteca
Now who’s Trueno? Not a name I’ve seen anywhere, so I think someone else is getting a new gimmick. Trueno translates to thunder.
4) Felino, Black Warrior, Brazo de Plata vs Hijo de Pierroth, Emilio Charles, Olimpico
5) Atlantis, Blue Panther, Rayo de Jalisco vs Canek, Universo 2000, Mascara 2000

Superlucha’s cover has Atlantis ripping Wagner’s mask, and talk of Crazy Boy joining CMLL under a new identity.

On Sunday, Ovaciones had an interview with Alan Stone and Super Calo. KrisZ has a better summary than I did,

Alan Stone & Super Calo did an interview with Ovaciones yesterday where Calo confirmed that he will be joining his brother in Promociones Antonio Pena but their other brother Chris hasn’t come to terms yet with the company. It looks like though that Chris Stone will be under the Super Calo gimmick.

Having a second Super Calo is weird, but fitting for AAA. Alan is wearing the Intocable-like outfit, because the original plan was just to team those two up. Obviously not happening now.

Robert pointed this out in the comments: Over on the Box Y Lucha forum, there’s a
scan of a CMLL magazine/program they’ve apparently been handing out the last few weeks; it’s listed as issue #4. I would love to subscribe this magazine, but I think I’d like it better if the dates were correct for the results (which appear to be a week off – maybe it’s a print error.) Notice they list an additional opening match for the Coliseo, too prelim for even the website to list! (I’ve added it to the results.)
