Month: August 2006

If you’ve tried to e-mail me the in the last week and got a “mailbox full” kind of response (or no response at all), try again. It should work now.

AAA TV (SUN) 08/06 Morelia, Michoacan Results [aaa]
1) Apache, Polvo de Estrellas, Rossy Moreno b Brandon, Fabi Apache, Pimpinela
Brandon gave Fabi a big kiss after the match. She was not pleased. This angle will not die.
2) Mascarita Divina, Mascarita Sagrada, Octagoncito b Mini Abismo Negro, Mini Charly Manson, Mini Chessman
3) el Ángel, El Elegido, Mascara Divina b Alan Stone, Histeria, Scorpio Jr.
4) Cuervo, Escoria, Ozz b Crazy Boy, Joe Lider, Juventud Guerrera
fun with light bulbs. Psicosis tried to help out, failed!
5) Gronda II, La Parka Jr., Zorro b Chessman, Electro Shock, Muerte Cibernetica
Sect still isn’t getting along. I guess Charly is hurt.

CMLL (MON) 08/07 Arena Puebla Results [hugo999]
1) Espiritu Maligno, Toro Bill, Toro Bill Jr. b Asturiano, Blue Center, Iron (Puebla)
2) Hijo de Gran Markus, Maniacop, Siki Ozama b Centella de Oro, SWAT, Tigre Rojo
3) Dark Angel, Lady Apache, Princesa Blanca b Amapola, La Nazi, Rosa Negra
4) Averno, Damian 666, Mephisto, Terrible b Dos Caras Jr., Hijo de Lizmark, Negro Casas, Sagrado
Averno challenged Negro to a title match! Someone remembered Negro’s champion! (or they could be talking about the tag titles.)
5) Maximo b Mr. Mexico [hair]
Mr. Mexico has a record of 1 win and 14 losses in apuesta matches. Maximo is 6-0.

The Arena Lopez Mateos TV taping this week has a main event of La Park vs Dr. Wagner Jr. CMLL DF never being able to do the blowoff probably helps the other promoters using them, because things are unsettled and fans may still want to see the match.

Guerreros del Ring 47 has a Satanico cover.

Soonews has an article about a show in Ontario last Friday, which included LA Park.

La Oreja.tv has the breaking news – Latin Lover’s taking a break from wrestling. (Way to be months behind.) They also think Latin Lover is as popular as Santo or Blue Demon.

CMLL (SUN) 08/06 Arena Coliseo Results
1) Caballero Blanco I, Caballero Blanco II ?? Renegado, Zombie
2) Bam Bam, Pequeno Olimpico, Tzuki b Fire, Mr. Aguilita, Sombrita
3) Dark Angel, India Sioux, Marecla b La Nazi, Medusa, Princesa Sujei
India and Medusa agreed to a mask match next week. YAY!
4) Damian 666, Mr. Aguila, Terrible b Sagrado, Satancio, Volador Jr.
5) Dr. Wagner, Hijo de Lizmark, Rey Bucanero b Mascara Ano 2000, Pierroth, Ultimo Guerrero
6) Mistico, Negro Casas b Atlantis, Olimpico [CMLL TAG]

Sunday Coliseo getting a cibernetico AND a mask match – I think that confirms FSE is getting the same GdR taping.

CMLL (SUN) 08/06 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara Results [
Gilillo @ el Martinete]
1) Exerminador, Metal Blanco b Fraile de la Muerte, Rey Trueno
2) Depredador, Valentin Mayo b Antrax, Estrella de Jalisco
3) Angel Blanco Jr., Cien Caras Jr., Magnum b Leon Blanco, Mascara Purpura, Stuka Jr.
4) Idolo DQ Destroyer [lightning]
5) Blue Panther, Maximo, Texano Jr. b Black Warrior, Emilio Charles Jr., Toxico
6) Universo 2000 b Dos Caras Jr. [CMLL HEAVY]
ref took a bump off Dos’ German Suplex, Universo snuck in a low blow and got the win. The fan who wrote this up was shocking and angered that the commission would allow such cheating. (Really, though, Universo should beat Dos clean at this point.)

Magazines
– Super Lucha #173 has a cover Santo, Mistico, and Dark Angel. Scroll down to the second page to see what a full Arena Mexico looks like.
– Super Lucha Grafico #16 focuses on Great American Bash.
– Luchas 2000 #329

Articles
– the UK Indepedent runs the usual (generic) lucha libre introduction piece.
– The Corvallis Gazette-Times has a story about the author going to their first lucha show after seeing Nacho Libre. I *think* I just won an argument!

Martha Villalobos chats with Box Y Lucha tomorrow at 2PM.

Box Y Lucha hasn’t release full lineups, but I’ve got the main ones are listed for this week. I’ve discussed the CMLL stuff of note already.

AAA’s announced 3 TV tapings for next week, which includes two Mexican Atomicos title matches (both Dark Family vs Mexipowers) and a tournament of undercarders where the winner gets his ‘dream’; oddly, they seem to have a seeing battle royal on the first show, but have already announced tournament matches for the next two shows. I think wrestling may be fake! Also, the Allthe GWPC title seems to be back and anything going on with Cibernetico isn’t apparently by the lineups.

Accion:

CMLL: main event from Arena Mexico. Lots of highlights. Warrior’s mask got pretty torn up here.

AAA: Parka, Gronda, Porky vs Absimo, Muerte, Electro from Tampico. Pokry apron dive! Electro has a odd missed clotehsline (which sets up a Parka tope, which is why it looked odd – but I guess it shouldn’t.) Gronda was indeed wearing a neckbrace, and took a double spear from Muerte and Electro for the loss.

As noted elsewhere, Friday’s Arena Mexico show was a sellout and one of the biggest audiences in the history of the building. My theory is Santo + Mistico = $$$$$$$$$$$$, but that’s just a wacky guess.

We’ll do lineups on Monday, but notable from the preliminary info:
– Ovaciones was wrong; no Leyenda de Plata next week. Rey/Perro in the main, with Santo in the semimain – versus the return of LA Park. There’s gotta be a story there.
– This means Rey’s headlining two DF shows – he’s got Mephisto on Tuesday as well
– Eclipse returns. As does Hombre Sin Nombre
– Sunday’s got a random cibernetico (seems unlikely they’d do two ciberneticos in two weeks, so maybe no LdP next week either?)

CMLL (FRI) 08/04 Arena Mexico Results [ova, magazinecmll, ocampo]
1) Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metalico b Artillero, Super Comando
2) Sagrado, Satanico, Virus b Loco Max, Nitro, Okumura
3) Blue Panther, La Mascara, Volador Jr. b Misterioso II, Olimpico, Sangre Azteca
4) Damian 666, Hector Garza, Hijo del Perro Aguayo b Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero
5) Hijo del Santo, Mistico, Negro Casas b Atlantis, Black Warrior, Ultimo Guerrero

Perro snuck in a foul on Rey for the 4th match victory. Post match, Rey challenged Perro to a hair match, and it appeared Perro accepted – but they’ll only hvae a normal singles match next week. (So, neither man will be in the Leyenda de Plata – lineup still TBA.)

Vampiro (and others business backers, I guess) held a press confrence yesterday to announced the formation of a new promotion, Revolucion X Lucha Libre (RXLL). No other wrestlers were offically announced; Extreme Tiger, Teddy Hart, Samoa Joe, and Sean Waltman were mentioned as possiblities but it doesn’t read as if any of them are for sure (and at this point, I’m sure nothing is for sure.) First show was announced for 09/02 in Coliseo Olimpico de la Universidad de Guadalajara, and we’ll know a lot more about how seriously to take this after the card’s been announced and after a show’s been held.

Guerreros del Ring had matches from 07/30 Coliseo
La Nazi, Medusa, Princesa Sujei vs Dark Angel, India Sioux, Sahori
Atlantis, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero vs Dr. Wagner Jr., Mistico, Negro Casas
(we’re back to women + Mistico)
