12/28 news

Yea, so everything updated like 15 minutes after I gave up on updating for the day. NICE.

I’m horribly busy (still true) and not done yet (well, no), but I see WO.com has this reported as truth right now and it’s NOT.

Ovaciones has an April Fools joke article, which nearly killed me until I read it thru and realized what was up. If you read anyone saying today:

– AAA is dead
– Cibernetico is jumping to CMLL, and many are coming with
– the big influx will cause CMLL to run Arena Mexico shows on Sunday
– the big influx will also cause the UWA to restart, including taking Arena Neza and Arena Queretaro
– IWRG, looking for a way to expand, is going to PPV
– WWE’s canceled their events for 01/2006 in Mexico

then they missed the last sentence where they revealed it all was a joke. I only realized it when they got to the WWE line, because I surely would’ve heard about it elsewhere. TO REPEAT: Nothing wacky is happening. The funk alarm has not been sounded.

4) Heavy Metal, Negro Casas, Brazo de Plata b Universo 2000, Máscara Año 2000, Olímpico
5) Mistico b Atlantis

In the main event, Tiger Hispano got kicked in the head when Atlantis put Mistico in the Atlantida. Enter KeMonito, and one low blow to Atlantis later, Mistico’s picked up the win. Don’t cross the blue monkey.

CMLL (TUE) 12/27 Arena Coliseo Results [ova]

5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Negro Casas, Heavy Metal b Universo 2000, Rey Bucanero, Olimpico

Universo tried a Black Hammer on Dr. Wagner – Wagner (thankfully! that looks awful) escaped and rolled him up for the win. Wagner wants a shot at Univesro’s Heavyweight title, Universo wants a shot at Wagner’s title, and they’ll like have a singles match with neither belt on the line.

5) Negro Navarro, ltimo Dragn, Mistico b Hctor Garza, Averno, Mephisto

The guy who posts the Puebla results on Box Y Lucha – hugo999 – is very kind for doing so, but I always have a hard time figuring them out. It’s at least partly the translation, but inevitably I read thru and try to figure out the finishes for fifteen minutes, then happen upon KrisZ’s results and find, as I did today, that he has winners and losers different than me in four matches. (I got the main event!) It’s at that point I throw up my hands and remember the golden rule: KrisZ > me.

CMLL (SUN) 12/25 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara Results [cmll]
1) Milenio b Ray Romero
2) Rey Trueno, Mr. Trueno b Metro, Idolo
3) Neutrón b Guerrero Samurai and Infierno and Rayman and Emilio Charles Jr. and Toxico and Sagrado and Bestia Salvaje and Cesar Dantes and Joe Lider [Occidente LH, ciber]
4) Leon Blanco, Mr. Niebla, Dos Caras Jr. b Evola, Terrible, Cien Caras Jr.

Order of elimination in the title match was Joe Lider, Bestia Salvaje, Guerrero Samurai, Rayman, Malefico (DQ for low blowing Dantes), Cesar Dantes (pinned by Sagrado directly after the low blow), and Toxico (reverse tope)

Evola replaced Mr. Aguila, who missed a couple of appearances this weekend. No idea.

4) Mr. Niebla, Rayman b Neutron, Sagrado and Mr. Aguila, Toxico and Emilio Charles Jr., Bestia Salvaje
5) Lider L Ringo Mendoza and Malefico and Asesino Negro [hair]

Lider is now much balder, as you can see:

Box & Lucha #2476 is up. Among the usual features:
– La Parka II demands a mask on the cover
– Mistico, as Luchado del Ano, and with women is your poster.
– Pierrothito talks about his big victories in WWE! He been flown in five times and sure hasn’t been on TV that many times, just so we know there’s no plan here. Pierrothito says he’s expecting to hear back from WWE in mid Janurary if they’re going to keep using him, or if he’ll just go back to working Mexico. (I would guess Porky is in the same situation, except he’s already working Mexico.)

Apparently, the AAA workers stopped by the Box Y Lucha office in mass:

– La Parka explains he wants a mask, but doesn’t know which one. He’s alredy taken Cibernetico’s, and while he plans on destroying him more, no more masks there. He was thinking Abismo Negro, but now Abismo’s a pal. So, you know, if someone wants to suggest themselves, that’d be great.
– Meanwhile, Octagon knows who’s mask he wants – Fuerza Guerrera. We’re no closer to it happenign than we were six months ago, but Octagon really wants it to happen in ’06. His goal is to become a Santo like legend. Good luck on that.
– Zorro recaps his 2006 (Japan, two titles, Central America) and is happy with it.
– Monsther claims he’s a complete fighter. That must mean something other than what I think it means. He suggests a mask match with Parka or Alebrije next year. Everybody wanting matches that aren’t actually going to happen.
– Antifaz is of course not as happy with 2005 as others, because he lost his mother this past year. He hopes to make her proud with his perfomance in AAA and indies.
