GdR #4 – 12/17/05

thecubsfan

As part of an even newer attempt to get caught all the way up in time to vote inaccurately, I’m attempted to get rid of my GdR backlog this week.

#4 was done yesterday but I’m just now uploading it. In the recap, when I say Rayo/Canek put me to sleep, I’m not kidding around. I was yawning by the end of the match, and ended up taking a nap after the first fall of the second match because I was too out of it to pay attention.

The index is now accurate thru last weekend’s shows. Well, not totally, because I have a mistake in last week’s cibernetico, but basically you get the idea.

A while back, I offered DVDs of these three shows (I’m still beating myself for not getting #1), and then managed to talk everyone who asked out of giving me money for something that cost me little. To prevent further insanity, I’ll point you towards wrestleholicsvideos.com, because that’s where I’m sending the DVDs now. The 2-3-4 DVD is already available, and I’m sending in the 5-6-7 one later this week.

I make $0.00 off every purchase, so it’s not going to affect my recaps in anyway. It’s a also a horrible business decision, but those are the decisions I love to make.

Lucha Times: GA Rematch, delayed West Coast feed

thecubsfan 1 Comment

PuroDVD updated their tape listings with a whole bunch of CMLL; every episode till the last month. I’ve updated the CMLL Yet To Air listings with that information.

Saturday: Split feed for the first time in a while; if you get the west coast version, it’s pushed back to 10pm. Futbol’s back.

This is an odd week, because no one I’ve checked seems to have a tape of this episode; my listing is still a partial guest. This episode should feature a rematch of last week’s main event.

Sunday: The episode in turn didn’t actually air; it was one of those weeks where Saturday was pre-empteded for whatever reason. If they skip to the next episode, it’ll be the one with the second Ultimo/Dos match and the weird ten man tag.

01/18 news: Dr. O’Borman passes away

Dr. O’Borman Sr. passed away Monday due to heart problems. (Box Y Lucha foro). Lucha Libre Independiente had talked to him last month for an interview, and outside the crutches, he looked in good health then.

I believe he’s not related to the current Dr. O’Borman Jr. or Dr. X (who previously used that name); they were just leasing the name from him.

There’s at least one more Guadalajara title match I need to add as well.

CMLL (TUE) 01/17 Arena Coliseo Results
1) Bracito de Oro, Fantasy b Sombrita, Fire
2) Flecha, Caligula, Mesala b Sensei, Crazy Boy, Danger
3) Virus, Tony Rivera, Pantera b Mr. Mexico, Okumura, Masada
4) Felino, Lizmark, Satanico DQ Pierroth, Terrible, Emilio Charles Jr.
5) Mistico, Dos Caras Jr., Negro Casas b Tarzan Boy, Averno, Mephisto

During the second match, Crazy Boy dove and ended up landing on armrest in a bad way. (The translation says “impaled”, which would be very bad.) Anyway, I think this is what my friend Earl mean when he was talking about harma. Felino took off his mask and threw it to Emilio to get the DQ win in the fourth match. Dos pinned Tarzan with a German suplex to win the main event.

Pictures aren’t up on the .com website, but they are on Alexis’ blog.

No full Guadalajara report, but Brazo de Plata did defeat Asesino Negro for his hair. (Box y Lucha)

A Texano bio was posted on box y lucha‘s forums.
