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.

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.

CMLL (MON) 12/19 Arena Puebla Results [box y lucha]
1) Ares El Guerrero & Mr. Rafaga vs ? & ?
2) Espiritu Maligno, Bobby Jack, Tarahumara b Blue Center, the Tigre, Zigma

5) Atlantis, Pierroth, Universo 2000 DQ Hector Garza, Damian 666, Perro Aguayo Jr.

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.)

12/20 news

As I type this, I realize my website is not working. That’s not good. Obviously it’s working by now, or you wouldn’t be reading this.

Ovaciones has previews of the Arena Aficion show, and the Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday Arena Coliseo shows. The Atlantis/Mistico match was indeed added to the Sunday Arena Coliseo show, so it should turn up New Year’s weekend on GdR.

There’s also an interview with Ultimo Guerrero to preview tonight’s Ultimo/Wagner match at Coliseo. Ultimo feels he had a great year, what with adding Atlantis to the group and acquiring a lot more kid fans as a result.

WAGNER (SUN) 12/25 Auditorio Municipal, Torreon Lineup [box y lucha]
1) ? vs ?
2) Piloto Negro, Piloto Suicidia, Flecha Veloz vs Arana del Futuro, Oso Negro, Moro Jr.
3) India Sioux & Diana la Cazadora vs La Nazi & Princesa Sujei
4) Stuka Jr. vs Misterioso II vs Texano Jr. vs Hooligan vs Soberano Jr. vs Hijo del Soberano vs Mr. Power vs Gringo Loco vs Hijo de Cien Caras vs Rey Vikingo [cage of death, hair, mask]
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. & Angel Blanco Jr. vs Ultimo Guerrero & Blue Panther

Yes, Dr. Wagner Jr. is promoting this show, and by the looks of that lineup, he’s an awesome promoter. The Park/Tiger match is now on 02/04. (Won’t the Doc be shocked to find out it’s his brother under the mask!)

Veterinario on the Box Y Lucha board has a list of the Occidente (Guadalajara) champions.

Welterweight: Makabre
Middleweight: Metro de Guadalajara (as of 11/05)
Lightweight: vacant (they’re filling it this week)
Heavyweight: Cien Caras Jr. (who won it when he was still Sheriff)
Tag Team: Cien Caras Jr. & Hijo de Cien Caras (recently having beat Flash I & Flash II, who held for two years)
Trios: Neutron, Flash II, Idolo (haven’t defended it often)

12/19 news


Short post, becuase there’s not much going on.

CMLL (SUN) 12/18 Arena Coliseo Results [ova]
1) Sombra de Plata, Zetta b Polvora, Vaquero
2) Kronso, Sensei, Danger b Apocalipsis, Ramstein, Flecha
3) Mr. Mexico, Canek Jr., Loco Max b Pantera, Tigre Blanco, Tony Rivera
4) Felino, Satanico, Sagrado b Damian 666, Emilio Charles Jr., Hijo de Pierroth
5) Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Olimpico b Mistico, Negro Casas, Ultimo Dragon

Atlantis ripped up Mistico’s mask in the first fall, Mistico got a new mask, and Atlantis pulled the second mask off and rolled up Mistico in the third fall. Mistico wants another singles match, so that might be added later in the week.

Not as many shows this week, at least as far as Box Y Lucha knows. CMLL shows are as frequent as normal and look to have good lineups (without the noticable exception of the Arena Coliseo XMas day show – though they may add there.) AAA and indy shows are either not happening or missing.

IWRG runs a hair mask on Sunday, and a losers advance cage match tournament where someone I’ve heard of (but haven’t seen) probably will lose their mask on Thursday.

12/18 news

Not much news; just roundups of previously mentioned lineups. There’s a note that Tigre Metalico and Tigre Blanco are the current Mexico State (EdM); I have Rayo Tapatio I & II as champions, but I might have gotten those belts confused with another. No idea when/where they would’ve won those belts.

The Ultimo Guerrero/Dr. Wagner match will take place as the main event of Tuesday’s Arena Coliseo show. It’ll likely be on the CMLL mothership and not GdR. They’re going to run shows as scheduled on Christmas and New Year’s.

The pictures from this week’s Arena Mexico show are up on CMLL.com. Check out Atlantis and his new red & black mask.

Today’s TV

Galavision was the expected episode.

GdR #4

12/09 Arena Mexico: Dos Caras Jr., Hijo de Lizmark, Ultimo Dragon b Kenzo Suzuki, Olimpico, Mascara Ano 2000

I must’ve done something very wrong in my life. (Shooting the guy in Reno?)

According to this post on LuchaWorld, these are the matches which aired on the CMLL mothership this week:

5) Averno, Mephisto b El Hijo Del Santo, Negro Casas [CMLL TAG]
3) Blue Panther, Hijo de Lizmark, Ultimo Dragon b Pierroth, Mascara Ano 2000, Apolo Dantes
2) Satanico, Felino, Sagrado b Hijo de Pierroth, Okumura, Ohara
4) Hijo de Perro Aguaio, Hector Garza, Terrible b Atlantis, Tarzan Boy, Rey Bucanero (probably)

GdR promised a match with Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner, Ultimo Guerrero, and Lizmark Jr. next week. The only DF match Dos worked this week was the main event of the Tuesday Arena Coliseo show:

5) Dr. Wagner, Dos Caras Jr., Hijo de Lizmark b Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Olimpico

I’m guessing either the second or third match from Sunday’s Arena Coliseo event to go with it.
