AAA on Gala: Split feed. The beginning of the dream tournament.
CMLL on CANAL52/FSE: I’ve got a feeling the Averno/Negro stuff is going to Fox Sports (because they’re newer) – the Mistico match is going to the other location.
Should have some more TV related stuff to post tommorow.
CMLL (TUE) 09/12 Arena Coliseo Results [ova, magazinecmll]
1) Artillero, Soberano Jr. b Flash, Super Nova
2) Apocalipsis, Ramstein, Super Comando b Leono, Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metalico
3) Mascara Purpura, Stuka Jr., Tony Rivera b Arkangel, Hooligan, Loco Max
4) Eclipse, Hijo de Pierroth, Pierroth b Sagrado, Satanico, Virus
Eclipse replaced Emilio. That’s a downgrade. Anyway, Sagrado tried to dive on Pierroth, Pierroth just moved out of the way, and that was the end of Sagrado. Both CMLL and Ovaciones describe the situation as “dramatic”, so it must’ve been pretty bad. He was taken to the infirmary, but eventually left the arena under his own power.
5) Averno, Mephisto, Olimpico DQ Dos Caras Jr., Mistico, Negro Casas
As a build up to Sunday, Averno low blowed Negro Casas

indy (SUN) 09/17 Arena Mexico de San Luis Lineup [el sol de SLP]
3) Lover Boy, Super Light, Danys Boy vs Flechador, Cazador, Mensajero I, Mensajero II
4) Nieto del Saato, Muerte Sagrada, Rayo de Plata Jr. vs el Hijo del Espanto, Conde Bartock, Halcon Dorado Jr.
I’m 95% sure that Nieto del Santo isn’t Axxel. Nieto was introduced on AAA TV, I figure, to get him going before he debuts in Arena Mexico, and I would think he’d be working in smaller places for the time being for the same reasons.
the many ways I don’t get Mexico: AAA has a 5 paragraph news update about the stamp collection dealio, as if people are going be rushing to their local newstands to collect rare 2 cm by 2 cm pictures of Picudo and need to know everything about them. In the last paragraph, they throw in “we’re also going to do Best of AAA DVDs with Televisa.” THAT could use some more details – there’s a wide range of possibilities about what a “Best of AAA” DVD could look like, for one. Since there are no specifics, I wouldn’t hold my breath for this one.
AAA’s updated it’s VdE preview to mention that Christy Hemme is off the card, to be replaced by – someone. This will have no impact on attendance. This means they’ve got mystery wrestlers in three different matches (Exterme Tiger’s spot in the 4 way atomicos match and the main event), and they’ll probably still need a replacement for Ron Killings.
A new El Halcon is up, #69
– Interview with Mephisto and Averno. They’re hoping to get another shot at the tag team titles; they were due to, but Negro got hurt. (This must’ve been done before the Middleweight shot came up.) They figure on continuing to feud with Satancio on some level, because you learn a lot from fighting guys like Satanico, Blue Panther, and Atlantis, and get to show what you’ve learned already. Apparently Santo said some nice things about Avenro & Mephisto, and they’re happy to hear such things from a greatly important guy. Averno & Mephisto say they’re booked in September for shows in Detroit, Chicago, and LA. They may be going to Japan in October. Mephisto feels like he’s a much better fighter than he was as Rey Astro, and hopes to equal or surpass the success of Kahoz (his father.) Averno feels like he’s just continuning on the path he started as Rencor Latino.
– Recap from 09/05 Arena Queretaro
CMLL (TUE) 09/05 Arena Queretaro Results
1) Dr. Karonte b Lince
2) Drabek I, Drabek II b Fuego Latino, Zain
3) Ursus, Virus b Loco Max, Makabro
Virus replaced Mascara Purprua
4) Villano III, Villano IV, Villano V b Negro Navarro, Signo, Texano Jr.
Usual ‘classic lucha’ battle, with Texano taking the loss and thanking his partners for allowing him to team with them
5) Black Warrior, Ultimo Guerrero b Maximo, Mistico
Maximo replaced the injuried-at-the-time Bucanero. Mistico went for La Mistica on Warrior and got fouled.
– Bio of Rey Cometa. Mostly stuff we knew – he was trained in Queretaro, he joined AAA and feuding with Los Diablocs for a while, and then his Queretaro rival Kaoma Jr.
– Recap of a CMLL show from 09/30 in Celeya.
CMLL CCE (WED) 08/30 Celaya Results
1) Gallito Colorado, Silver Boy b Amazonas, Radio Activo
2) Ozuno, Urusa b Macabro, Perro del Ring
3) Amapola, Hiroka b India Sioux, Lady Apache
This MAY be Hiroka’s first outside of a title match (and off TV) since she won the thing. And, in fact, Amapola was the one who got the big pinfall on Lady Apache. I wonder she challenged for a title match, just because it’s part of the routine.
4) Maximo, Texano Jr., Volador Jr. b Head Hunter I, Head Hunter II, Hijo de Pierroth
The immigration police showed up backstage to get the rudos! Apparently this was legimiate, and the Head Hunters had the right papers (and Hijo de Pierroth explained he was indeed not from Puerto Rico.)
5) Canek, Mascara Sagrada, Silver King DQ Mascara Ano 2000, Ultimo Guerrero, Universo 2000
Universo fouled Silver King.
– Centurion Negro bio. Centurion Negro boxed for two years at a gym, but never actually competed in a match. This seems dumb to me. Of course, the usual dealio followed where someone told him he could do better in lucha.
– Article about the Mil Mascara vs el Halcon mask vs mask match in 1977. They say that 21,000 people came to Arena Mexico to see this match – was that even possible, before they had the structural problems? Fans were divided over in support.
