CMLL (TUE) 11/08 Arena Coliseo Results [OVA]
1) Bam Bam & Ultimo Dragoncito ? Mini Halloween & Fire
2) Virus, Tony Rivera, Crazzy Boy b Mr. Mexico, Hooligan, Nitro
3) Olimpico, Okumura, Sangre Azteca b Satanico, Sagrado, Felino
4) Averno & Mephisto b Negro Casas & Heavy Metal [CMLL TAG]
Final fall saw Mephisto beat Negro (!), Metal beat Mephisto, and Averno beat Metal to retain the titles.
5) Mistico, Dr. Wagner Jr., LA Park b Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Rey Bucanero
Good match; Park was said to the crowd into the tecnicos. CMLL.com says Atlantis has a new outfit. Ovaciones runs the same story about someone impersonating Atlantis.
If you haven’t seen it left, Equator Books (Venice, CA) is hosting an exhibit of lucha portraits until 12/01, and you can see some of them on their website. The photographer, Malcolm Venville is turning the (150) photos into a book, but these are huge (60″ by 48″) prints for the exhibit (which you can buy if you have $7,500 sitting around). There’s an interview with him on NPR (halfway thru the show), but I haven’t had a chance to listen to it yet.
(By the way, jtron is DEAD TO ME for giving not giving BoingBoing the link to the wiki. Unless you’re going to the NWAMidwest show, in which case I’ll have forgotten about this by then.)
If you are looking for more lucha photography, I’ll remind you about the Lourdes Grobet “Lucha Libre: Masked Superstars Of Mexican Wrestling” book at Amazon, mostly because I haven’t quite gotten around to picking it up either.
The 11/24 DragonDoor card includes this match (DGUSA):
Tiger [Ultimo] Dragon, Villano III, Maximo vs Shannon Moore, Masao Orihara, ??
That can’t be real. That’s gotta be something I scribbled down after going out of my mind watching one too many ’04 Velocities. (Which means Akio is the mystery wrestler! Or not.)
