Lucha Times

Saturday: No late night airing; pre-empted for Chirstmas type of stuff. If the scheduled episode airs, it’s one worth seeking out – the Reyes de Air cibernetico on this show has gotten rave reviews from those who’ve seen it.

Sunday: AAA Triplemania, yet again. This is the second two-thirds of the show, including the epic Psicosis II vs Nicho. Quite a shabby Chrismas present – you all must’ve been very rudo this year.

GdR: Normal time. At least one good Tuesday Coliseo main event, and then probably some Sunday undercard wackiness.

12/21 news

CMLL (TUE) 12/20 Arena Coliseo Results
1) Mesala, Calígula, Zayco b Danger, Trueno, Sensei
2) Virus, Texano, Tony Rivera b Dr. X, Loco Max, Apocalipsis
3) Black Warrior, Lizmark Sr., Felino b el Hijo del Pierroth, Emilio Charles, Canek Jr.
4) Rey Bucanero, Olímpico, Pierroth b Dos Caras Jr., Blue Panther, Lizmark Jr.
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. DDQ Último Guerrero

In the third fall of the main event, Wagner and Ultimo similtaneously pulled off each other’s mask in full view of the referee, so he called the double disqualification. Both wrestlers wanted another fall, but the referee refused, so they may just have another match sometime soon.

It appears like they’ve already dropped Black Warrior’s rudo turn; there’s no mention of it here.

Box Y Lucha posted it’s chat with Damian. Not much of note. Sounds like he’s going to be part of a big extreme show in Monterrey on 01/28, and he wouldn’t mind getting a WWE offer.

Box Y Lucha #2745 is up. The Cover is pictures from the last big AAA and CMLL shows of the year. Poster is of the Arena Mexico valets. The articles aren’t much – when there’s a long interview featured with Zorro Plateado Jr., it may be a slow week. I figure they didn’t post the main articles this week. Other stories: Arkangel is headed to AJPW (first I’ve heard about it), Sagrado gives us a (completely worked sounded) “how I got into wrestling” story, and Oriental and Cinthia Moreno are happy to be new champs.

The Arkangel story is odd, because they mention him having already left, but the next AJPW tour isn’t till the next year (and he’s not listed on their cards.) Not sure what actually is going on.

Anyone know the deal with this site: http://www.losluchadores.com.mx/? It looks like a professional site, but the information seems slightly out of date and not all the links work yet, which usually isn’t a good sign. Of note, they have a store which includes the Perros del Mal shirts for $22. (I got there off a forum plug.)
