CMLL (FRI) 07/07 Arena Mexico Results [alexis, ovaciones, ocampo]
1) Molotov, Valiente b Calígula, Mesala
2) Loco Max, Ohara, Okumura b Leono, Texano Jr., Virus
3) Blue Panther, Mr. Niebla, Satánico b Mascara Ano 2000, Pierroth, Universo 2000
MY2k & Universo replaced Atlantis & Olimpico…
4) Volador Jr. b Felino, La Mascara, Sagrado, Pantera, Neutron, Averno, Mepshito, Misterioso, Nitro, Mascara Purpura [ciber]
Order of elimination:
1) Neutron (by Sangre)
2) Nitro (by Pantera)
3) Sangre (by Masara Purpura)
4) Purpura (by La Mascara)
5) La Mascara (by Averno)
6) Pantera (by Felino)
7) Sagrado (by Misterioso)
8) Misterioso (by Volador Jr.)
9) Felino (DQ for pulling Averno’s mask)
10) Averno (DQ for fouling Felino
11) Mephisto (Volador Jr.)

Post match, Volador Jr. got a plaque. Los Guerreros (or at least Ultimo) showed up and led the rudos in congrulating Volador Jr – which was a setup for an attack. Mephisto broke the glass plaque over Volador’s head, and it looks like he got cut up pretty bad.
5) Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr., Rey Bucanero b Atlantis, Olimpico, Último Guerrero
And Atlantis and Olimpico replaced Jindrak (who was said to be there) and Kenzo, presumbably to make this more Rey vs the Guerreros. Rudos got DQed for excessive violence in the first fall, and Rey beat Ultimo clean in the second. Rey challenged for a title match next week, and I think we’re getting it.

GdR: all from 06/30 Arena Mexico (!)
Mini Olimpico, Ultimo Dragoncito vs Mini Damian 666, Mini Halloween (repeat from main show)
Blue Panther, Mr. Niebla, Silver King vs Kenzo Suzuki, Ohara, Okumura

Gala is airing the previously skipped Reina de Reina Intl show, though the match order seems to be quite different than I had listed.

CMLL #219, #221, AAA 07/01, CMLL GdR #32

I kinda had a plan to completely catch up this week, but it’s not quite going to happen;. I”m still 2.5 hours for closing the gap and I’ve done all I can do for one night. Maybe I’ll finish one more recap before things start airing tommorow, but finishing up will have to be a celebration for next week.

What I *have* done this week:

04/22 CMLL #219 (11/18/05): pretty pointless

* Princesa Sujei, La Nazi vs Diana, India Sioux: India is better Diana. (Shocking!) Sujei’s just an ordinary wrestler. She’s lack whatever flash I thought she had in AAA. I think. I dunno.
* Apolo Dantes, Sangre Azteca, Hombre Sin Nombre vs La Mascara, Satanico, Brazo de Plata: Rudos are better as a team and I’d expect, and Sangre/Mascara stuff is interesting, but not much here.
* Canek, Hijo del Perro Aguayo (c), Mephisto vs Ultimo Dragon, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas: Dragon showed some fire for once
* Halloween vs Universo 2000: nothing but setup

04/29 CMLL #221 (12/02/05): didn’t feel like a big show

* Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Olimpico vs Heavy Metal, Negro Casas, Blue Panther: needed more time
* Perro Aguayo Jr., Hector Garza, Tarzan Boy vs Mistico, Dr. Wagner Jr., Dos Caras Jr.: all angle
* Halloween vs Universo 2000: met expectations. expectations weren’t high.

07/01 AAA (taped 02/06/06): This show matched all my expectations for AAA and then some.

* Espantapajaros vs Dizzy, Kumbia Kids: bad, bad green wrestling
* Dark Family vs Cats, Joe Silver, Super Calo: 17 matches for a pointless screw job finish! You can’t pin Super Calo clean?
* Psicosis II, Espiritu, Charly Manson vs Alliens, Abismo Negro, Pimpinela: They’re doing a Vipers reunion, if only they didn’t forget about it five minutes in. This is supposed to be Abismo’s big emotional hometown win, but it’s a match with Alliens, it doesn’t quite fit ‘big’.
* Alan Stone, Shocker, Zumbido vs Electroshock, Intocable, Zorro: we see 1:03 of this and plenty of pointless angle after
* Chessman & Cibernetico vs La Parka Jr. & Octagon: CMLL opening falls + AAA overbooking final fall. It’s nice that they do a clean finish the one time it doesn’t feel like it doens’t mean anything. I mean, even if you want to say “they were respecting the title”, then explain the run-ins?

I think not having the rest of the stable run in is better than having them run in, no DQ being called for no particular reason, and then they’re run off.

07/01 GdR:

* Emilio Charles Jr., Misterioso II, Pierroth vs Blue Panther, Brazo de Oro, Satanico – standard forgettable Coliseo matches with good punches and Pierroth’s blond hair
* Atlantis, Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero vs Mistico, Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero – crowd was more into this. I wasn’t really.
