IWRG (SUN) 09/24 Arena Naucalpan Results
1) Forasteo b Red Bull
2) Black Stone, Paramedico b Antaris, Platino
Tecnicos did not get along, but made peace after their loss
3) Astro Boy, Fabian el Gitano, Tony Rivera b Avisman, Fantasma de la Opera, Macho II
4) Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro, Suicida b Alex Koslov, Hijo del Diablo, Okumura
Free Lance was replaced by Suicida, because his neck is hurting from a martiente last week, but seconded the tecnicos – so of course the rudos attacked him during the match.
5) Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila b Fantasma, Felino, Solar
IWRG says Halloween is coming back from a knee injury, so I think we’re dropping the neck surgery angle. Halloween yanked Solar’s mask, and Damian picked up the pin.
Ovaciones and Notimex preview the Anniversary show by mentioning famous masks lost in Arena Mexico: Espanto I, Faraon, Sangre Chicana, Kung Fu, Cien Caras, Mascara Ano 2000, Universo 2000, Shocker and Villano III. Either Black Warrior or Mistico (no!) will be added to the list.
AAA updated it’s website. The next TV taping is 10/04, but hype the 10/12 and 10/14 tapings a bit stronger. The full upcoming schedule is
(part 2 of VdE airs in Mexico this weekend, 10/01)
10/04 – Gimnasio Miguel Barragan de San Luis Potosi (airs 10/08)
10/12 – Plaza de Toros de Tlahuelilpan, Hidalgo (airs 10/15)
10/14 – Plaza de Toros “La Concordia” de Orizaba, Veracruz (airs 10/22)
10/16 – Domo de la Feria de León, Guanajuato (airs 10/29)
10/20 – Auditorio José Maria Arteaga de Querétaro (airs 11/05)
10/22 – Plaza de Toros “Pepeillo Martínez” de Salamanca, Guanajuato (airs 11/12)
I’d don’t quite get why you’d tape five weeks of TV in 10 days. Maybe they really are going to the US and Central America, for quite a while, and don’t want to bring along cameras.
Laredo Kid, winner of the Dream tournament, will get to be in the semimain on the 10/12 taping, teaming with Zorro, Gronda II and Elegido to take on the Vipers.
Also on the 10/12, the three Pirata Morgan Jrs will debut. I believe they were introduced over the summer, but did not actually have a match and seemed to be dropped – I guess AAA is just slow to get to some things. The trios is actually the ex-IWRG midcard trio of Pirata Morgan Jr., IWRG’s Nemesis and Kaleth. The later two are switched their names Drake and Barba Roja, and may or may not actually be related to Pirata Morgan (I’m thinking no.)
Oddly, AAA makes special note to say these three will be teaming with a new wrestler named “Kronos” and later confirms Brazo de Plata Jr. (recently Kronos in CMLL) is coming in. They make it sound like Brazo de Plata Jr. is coming in as a Brazo, so maybe someone else is getting the gimmick. Or they’re just fooling around.
Brazo de Plata Jr. isn’t the only guy jumping from CMLL. Chris Stone – this time, for sure! – is specifically mentioned as a possible new Guapo to team up with his brother. They mention the feud with Intocable, so I suspect they’ll do the reveal of him as the masked guy on the next taping. They ALSO mention the Arena Coliseo Tag Team Titles, but I don’t think they’re going to defend them, still.
There’s a ton of guys on the AAA roster, isn’t there? More than they have room for on TV, that’s for sure.
Main event of the 10/14 show will be Gronda, Parka Jr., Zorro vs Konnan, Abyss, Muerte Cibernetica, and AAA’s hoping to keep close ties with TNA.
Picudo is splitting from the Vatos Locos and going back to being a single. Since that leaves the group with just Nygma and Silver Cat, and Picudo was positioned as the leader, I’d think that’s end of the group.
Sky’s sent out a press release hyping the anniversary show on PPV. Yay confirmation! They seem to have a weird pricing system which depends on what kind of service you’re getting, but the show seems to cost $15-$20 US. Again, cheap compared to US prices, but they’re not actually competiting with US prices.
There’s a lineup for the TNA Monterrey show:
TNA () 11/25 Arena Monterrey Lineup
1) James Gang vs LAX
2) Petey Williams (w/Scott D’Amore) vs Chris Sabin
3) Abyss vs Ron Killings
4) Monty Brown vs Rhyno
5) Bobby Rude vs AJ Styles
6) Jeff Jarrett vs Christian Cage [NWA HEAVY]
No way that’ll happen that way. Tickets to the show go on sale Sunday. Prices go from $81 US to $13 US.
Guerreros del Ring #54 has a picture of DX, actually looking quite old.

Ovaciones re-writing history already. MA2K lost his hood at the first Triplemania in the Plaza De Toros.
The new AAA news update just confuses the hell out of me so I’ll wait for the carteleras update to see who is officially wrestling on each show. Once again I want to point out – Laredo Kid has already had semi-main events on 4/22 in Cuautla and 8/6 in Morelia so I’m hoping he gets a main event spot soon or this tournament only served one purpose… to break up La Fuerza Aerea.:(
No.. this will be a bad idea if la Fuerza Aerea breaks up.i knew Chris Stone would show in AAA sooner or later.Picudo splitting up from Los Vatos Locos is kinda better cuz the team is hasnt been used much on tv and Nygma barely shows on the team.im not happy wit the line up of TNA monterrey show.i was expecting a better card with Angle on the show.they might change it
The TNA lineup has to be 8+ weeks old, just based on Christian and Jarrett in the main event. ROH is running that weekend, so that may affect who’s works where.
