What can we learn from this?

– The amount of wrestlers shifted from one category to another probably means they were still sorting this out as they started.

– They still may be a little off. Ignoring the belt around his waist, is Mistico a middleweight?

– Halcon has no love for AAA guys.

– Mistico and Ulitmo as stable 1s are no surprise, Mascara is a little bit.

– Lightweight rankings are all over the place due to lower status, more credible indy wrestlers. Heavyweights are flipped: stable because most of the guys are the same top ones.

– Groon apparently wrestled in the last month? Who knew.

Don’t worry. I’m getting a life real soon now. (hahaha)

Ovaciones is a one page interview with Universo and a brief IWRG preview. You can probably do the Universo bit in your head: Perro and Garza must die, Mascara Ano is still hurt, blah blah blah. There is a mention of Cien Caras – Universo says he’s may be too busy on the farm to help.

DG USA posted results for the Toryumon Mexico show from a couple weeks ago.

Halcon.net #35 is up. Inside:
– interview with Villano III and his great Imperial Family shirt.
– results from Arena Coliseo Monterrey (AAA)
– Q&A with Nitro
– Arena Mexico results. O’Campo seems upset Mexicans wrestling abroad are generally treated as respected tecnicos, but foreigners who come to Mexico are always evil rudos.
– Quick interview with Stuka Jr. Oddly, he says Stuka the original is his brother, not his father. He puts his own birthdate at 07/17/79; Stuka was born 01/02/64, so if those are both correct, it’s beliveable.
– NGW results
– 09/03 Arena Santa Rosa in Monterrey results
– Various notes columns. One of the Te Das highlights gets translated to “THE FIGHT IS NOT FOR DONKEYS OF TWO LEGS”, and you really can’t argue with that.

AAA (SUN) 09/04 Arena Coliseo Monterey [halcon]
1) Demonio Negro & Panterita b Raffles & Zarok
2) Lobo Negro & Guerrero Griego b Galactar & Black Panther
3) El Apache b Billy Boy [#1 MEX Middle]
Low blow leads to pin.
4) Regal Force (Hator, Monje Negro Jr., Mongol Chino) b Pimpinela Escarlata, Sangre Chicana, Sangre Chicana Jr.
5) Antifaz, Oriental, Estrella Dorado Jr. DQ Hator, Zumbido, Chessman
Run in. Oddly, this appears to be the first one fall match of the show.
6) Shocker Octagon DQ Cibernetico
Short, run in filled match.

I want to try and do something odd with the rankings, so I’ll post ’em later.
