Day: April 8, 2006

Following up earlier – I so did not plan this many updates today – the Arena Mexico lineup is up at CMLL.com.

CMLL (FRI) 04/14 Arena Mexico Lineup
1) Tony Rivera & Crazy Boy vs Super Comando & Artillero
2) Satanico, Volador Jr., Mascara Purpura vs Hombre Sin Nombre, Misterioso II, Nitro
3) LA Park, Dr. Wagner Jr., Heavy Metal vs Universo 2000, Pierroth, Olimpico
4) Ultimo Guerrero, Rey Bucanero, Tarzan Boy vs Hector Garza, Mr. Aguila, Damian 666
5) Dark Angel vs Amapola [hair, mask]
6) Averno & Mephisto vs Negro Casas & Mistico [CMLL TAG]

I would assume that’s the 1st ever women’s match to be a semi main event in Arena Mexico (but I don’t know for sure.) I know for sure this is Crazy Boy’s debut on a CMLL card in Arena Mexico (he’d appeared on a Toryumon show last year.) I’d bet we know the main event of 04/28 by the time this one is over.

No big surprises on either Coliseo card. Mistico main events both shows against a GdA team.

wondering: Black Warrior is not booked on any of these three cards this week. He only worked the Puebla show last week, as far as I know. I haven’t heard anything about him and I probably should wait til the Box Y Lucha lineups but it’s odd.

of course, Galavision makes me a complete liar – they’re airing AAA again! Did Bryan’s Friend Vince start watching it again today and doom it all? Last time AAA aired (on Saturday) was December 10th.

Of course, first match in is a mini cage match which ends with a referee losing his hair. They have seemed better about that sort of AAA-ness this year, and I think it’s a taping from last year. I’ll track it down in a bit.

Edit: It’s showing matches to start from the 07/29/05 show, but they’re mixing in a dinner with Pena, Octagon, La Parka Jr., Triple A, and others. Best of? I guess so.

All matches appear to be clipped in some manner; haven’t seen enough of them to know who much they’ve been clipped.

07/29 Madreo
Zumbido L Oriental and Picudo and Antifaz del Norte and Cuervo and Incógnito
(referee) Piero L Jerrito Estrada and Mascarita Sagrada and Hator and Zumbido and Mini Psicosis and Rocky Marvin and Octagoncito and La Parkita and Zumbido [cage of death, hair]
Psicosis II CO Histeria [MEX MW]

08/26 Mexico City (Only for Women show)
Latin Lover, Shocker, Vampiro b Abismo Negro, Cibernetico, Psicosis II

09/18 Naucalpan
Chessman L Latin Lover and Cibernetico and Shocker [electric cage, hair]

11/07 Domo de la Feria de Leon (I think)
Cibernetico, Abismo Negro, Charly Manson vs Octagon, La Parka Jr., Zorro

12/10 Plaza de Toros Nuevo Progreso de Guadalajara
Shocker vs Sangre Azteca [hair, 3rd fall only]

That’s it.

CMLL (FRI) 04/07 Arena Mexico Results
1) Los Tigres del Ring (Rey Tigre, Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metálico) b Apocalipsis, Dr. X, Hooligan
2) Hombre Sin Nombre, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca b Metro, Virus, Volador Jr.
I think they’re building a Virus/HSN rivalary.
3) Felino, La Máscara, Último Dragón b Olímpico, Shigeo Okumura, Takemura
4) Damián 666, Héctor Garza, Mr. Águila b Rey Bucanero, Tarzan Boy, Último Guerrero
Mr. Aguila snuck in a low blow to get his team the win. Post match, there were cage of death challenges, but I think they’re headed back to a trios rematch first.
5) LA Park, Mistico, Negro Casas b Atlantis, Averno, Mephisto
Mistico and Negro got pins on Averno and Mephsito in the final fall and challenged for a tag shot. They may get it next week

CMLL (TUE) 04/04 Arena Aficion Results
1) Black Thunder, Colmillo Blanco b Skyade, Titan
2) Dark Angel, Lady Apache b Amapola, Princesa Sujei
3) La Máscara, Mistico, Último Dragón b Olímpico, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero

Ernesto says next week’s Mexico lineup has
– Averno & Mepshito vs Mistico & Negro Casas [CMLL TAG]
– Amapola vs Dark Angel [hair/mask]
– Perros del Mal vs Guerrero del Infierno
– Satanico, Volador Jr., Mascara Purpura vs Hombre sin Nombre, Misterioso II, Nitro

CMLL (MON) 04/10 Arena Puebla Lineup
1) Iron & Molotov vs Murcielago & La Mafia
2) The Tiger, Zigma, Kirvan vs Super Comando, Artillero, Ares
3) Cerebro Negro, Espiritu Maligno, Furia Chicana vs Stuka Jr., Neutron, Tigre Rojo
4) Averno, Mephisto, Damian 666 vs Felino, La Mascara, Sagrado
5) Universo 2000, Rey Bucanero, Pierroth vs Lizmark Jr., Dos Caras Jr., Blue Panther

I’m sorry, Rob, they didn’t air the big singles match.

04/02 Coliseo Stuka Jr. b Flecha [mask]
04/02 Coliseo Dos Caras Jr., Negro Casas, Último Dragón b Olímpico, Rey Bucanero, Tarzan Boy

swerve! The Stuka/Flecha match did not appear to be clipped and was quite fun. The trios match is airing right now.
