CMLL (TUE) 11/22 Arena Coliseo Results [ova]
1) Molotov, Zetta b Polvora, Vaquero
2) Kronos, Stuka Jr., Trueno b Ramstein, Renegado, Zayco
Renegado’s debut. Anyone want to take a guess?
3) Texano Jr., Tony Rivera, Crazy Boy b Hooligan, Nitro, Apocalipsis
4) Tarzan Boy, Mascara Ano 2000, Terrible b Brazo de Plata, Felino, Satanico
Brazo de Plata is apparently telling everyone he’s not done with WWE, but he’s actually just waiting for them to call him back and sign the contract. I guess this has a better chance of happening than Tanaka coming back. And I didn’t believe the Mexicools were coming in till they actually did.
5) Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Averno, Mephisto b Mistico, Negro Casas, Blue Panther
Perro challenged Mistico to a NWA MW Title match, no date announced. Last time they tried that, they couldn’t get Perro under the weight limit, so who knows.

I have two competting theories about how they came up with Halloween vs Universo as a Big Main Event!
1) CMLL is completely content with their business, to the point where they don’t care about even harming future business by being lame. Robert covered this idea pretty well in yesterday’s comments.
2) for the second time in about 5 months, CMLL planned on a Big Match, built to a Big Match, and when it came time to sign for that Big Match, they found out they couldn’t actually get it to happen. This time, it’s Perro vs Universo, and neither guy is willing to lose his hair at this point. (And maybe, if CMLL wasn’t doing well, they would offer enough to make it happen, but since they don’t need to, they aren’t.)
The competition isn’t really what actually happened, but which sounds worse.
Resolving something with the Trios titles sounds about right, but I don’t think they’ll get to multiple titles (especially with Averno & Mephisto vs Los Casas working it’s way thru the B-shows) at least during the Arena Mexico season; maybe they’ll set something up for the first week of Friday shows at Arena Coliseo.
This week, they’re filiming a movie called Nacho Libre in Arena Naucalpan with wrestlers being involved. Silver King is specifically mentioned – perhaps because he can be three wrestlers at the price of one? They’re filming from 11/21 to 12/01, and the movie is due to be released in 2006, though no specific date is mentioned.
IWRG is running shows celebrating it’s 43rd anniversary show on 12/01 and on 12/22.
Got those WWA Tag Team Titles include on the roster now, along with a few minor things. (I made it possible to vacant a title, for instance.)
Has anyone seen Felino lately? Is he hurt?
