Accion highlights
CMLL: main event tag. Atlantis in a Black Warrior themed outfit is weird. They only show the finishes to the falls the tecnicos won.
AAA: Psicosis, Juvi, Crazy Boy vs Shocker, Zumbido and Scorpio Jr. in Tecuitlan, Puebla. Mexipowers have matching outfits. Lots of Crazy Boy/Zumbido stuff shown. We’re shown Juvi being declared winner although not how.

Congress was fine show for being free. Partial and probably incorrect results from memory – maybe torgoman will have them all later?

indy (SUN) 06/18 Congress Chicago Results
2) Angel de la Muerte b ? (Angel Dorado?)
3) Rayo Laser & SWAT Kat b Amenza de Siglo & Aguila del America
4) Lancer 2000 & Gringo Loco b Mini Charly Manson & Mini Guerrero del Futuro
this was a fine match; nice to see Gringo Loco back in the building
5) Canek & Lizmark b Satanico & Emilio Charles Jr.
I was suprised how over Canek was. Lizmark’s act is the same as Atlantis’ tecnico act, but since that hasn’t been drilled into my head every week for a while, it seems fresh. Neat to see Satanico actually working rudo; he hasn’t really been one much since I started watching. Emilio fainted during a pose off with Canek, and it was great.

No next show was announced, but it seems like there may be on 06/18 with Rey Misterio Sr. vs Blue Demon (two different promoters for lucha shows in the same building, maybe?)

Ovaciones’ site is down at the moment.

It reads like the GA was a bit longer live than it was on TV, not that it helps anyway. Though – what are we really expecting here? When was the last one night tournament airing on CMLL TV which was good, or even average? It’s solely a results/storyline event, and if you’re not interested in those things, you’re going to be eternally disappionted.

Brackets have been announced for AJPW’s Junior Heavyweight Singles League (06/25 – 07/03)
A: Kaz Hayashi, TAKA Michinoku, Ryuji Hijikata, “brother” YASSHI
B: Katsushi Takemura, Masada, Katsuhiko Nakajima, Virus
Those are small blocks, but I believe it’s a short tour.

Super Luchas 164 focuses on Rey Mysterio vs Sabu in ECW. More pages can be found here.

Mike Mooneyham has a intereview with Mil Mascaras. (Thanks to mikeinformer)

I’m off to the Congress lucha show in a bit an hour. I’ll have notes on that and Accion later on.
