Texano is headed to Japan – at some point, for something, involving some wrestling. I know that! Don’t know much more than that.

6) Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Hector Garza, Damian 666, Halloween DQ Mistico, Atlantis, Negro Casas, Heavy Metal
That decision might not be exactly correct – a plethora of people wearing Pierroth masks ran in and attacked the rudos.

CMLL’s reopening Arena Neza with this lineup:

CMLL (THU) 08/18 Arena Neza Lineup [cmll]
1) Mini Olimpico & Tzuki vs Mini Pierroth & Espectrito
2) Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metalico, Sombre de Plata vs Hooligan, Mesala, Caligula
3) Blue Panhter, Satanico, Felino vs Emilio Charles, Mephisto, Sangre Azteca

The CMLL Women’s Championship, now listed as vacant, will be filled in a cibernetico. Included so far are the six women in the trios match this past week, La Nazi and India Sioux. The date for the match is undecided, but it’ll probably be between now and the Anniversary show (and Dark Angel’s surely going to win, but shhhh on that for now.)

CMLL #167

Episode from 02/12 – look, I’m nearly out of winter!

Mr. Mexico makes great faces and Loco Max is underrated and Alan Stone is perfectly fine and Zumbido sure seems like an interesting person in many ways…but looking back at it now, that’s a weird tag feud to pull out of the midcard.

Maybe I’m just over thinking this, and it was just a case of picking two tecnicos they liked and coming up with something that’d let them guage the public’s reaction to them.

There are plenty of guys who never really get chances, but Zumbido isn’t in that category. Obviously there are the personal problems I’m skirting around, but when given a chance by his promotion, he couldn’t make it work – this match was okay but the not the kinda eyeball grabbing special you need to get over in his slot, and the Super Crazy/Zumbido match (which I’ll get to in a few days) wasn’t really memorable besides the Super Crazy stage moonsault. Maybe he needed a big trios match? The Mexican Title ones weren’t bad.

The Blue Panther/Black Tiger match felt similiar to the Dr. Wagner/Universo match, and that’s such a “duh” comment I should’ve skipped it.

Either I’ll post a recap earlier tommorow, or I’ll do a double shot for Sunday. We’ll see!

CMLL (TUE) 08/09 Pachua, Hidalgo Results [ova]
1) Medics III & Diavolo b Aztec de Oro & Concord
2) Cerebro Negro & Mensajero de la Muerte b Doctor Kalini & Aquiles
3) Tigre Metalico, Maximo, Halcon Dorado b Sangre Azteca, Nitro, Titan
Before the match, Tigre thanked the ringside doctor, the promoter, and the fans for the help and attention he got when he was injuried last month.
4) Negro Casas & Felino DQ Halloween & Damien
Damien low blowed Negro, but the ref saw it.

Elsewhere, there’s an Arena Mexico preview, and brief bit about the AAA show in Nicaragua. No specifics there, except for a list of wrestlers used. Next Friday, AAA is in Puebla with a double main event of Shocker vs La Parka II vs Cibernetico and Zorro putting both titles up (though Ovaciones disagrees with about what titles they are) against Charly Manson.

Should be another recap up tonight and I’ll see if I can track down the G1 winner.
