Day: October 21, 2006

To clear up plot points we’ve long since forgetten, CMLL.com reports that Mistico did get the Leyenda de Plata trophy back from Black Warrior and Atlantis, and Atlantis has been suspended two weeks for his actions in this fiendish plot. (I suspect the suspension neatly fits in with a two week period he already had off.)

Of more note, Black Warrior and Mistico are no where to be seen on next week’s Arena Mexico show. That’s a week too late. They meet up again next Sunday in Coliseo.

CMLL.com also says Kenzo Suzuki and Universo 2000 are feuding. I smell MOTY. From that, we get an Arena Mexico main of Shocker, Rey Bucanero, Universo 2000 vs Hijo de Lizmark, Marco Corelone, and Kenzo Suzuki. Good luck to Mr. Soria and Mr. Ortiz. Lucha 2000 teases the Leyenda de Azul tournament on it’s cover, so it must be coming up in a couple weeks, and I suspect it’ll be set up by this main event.

To follow up Chui – I still don’t think the Ladies match was a draw, I think Mistico/Warrior just stopped being a draw when they did the same finish two weeks in a row (and seemingly at every other show they worked since the anniversary) and indicated they were going to do nothing new. If anyone else listened to Figure Four Daily yesterday, this exactly seems like what was described there – CMLL went with a pat hand too long.

The results from last week’s show are here; never did hear attendance.

CMLL (FRI) 10/20 Arena Mexico Results [ova]
1) Danger, Valiente b Artillero, Super Comando
Probably the best one of the night.
2) Hombre Sin Nombre, Loco Max, Sangre Azteca b Mascara Purpura, Maximo, Virus
3) Felino, Sagrado, Satanico DQ Alex Koslov, Hirooki Goto, Okumura
Goto low blowed Felino.
4) Dos Caras Jr., Hijo de Lizmark, Rey Bucanero DQ Kenzo Suzuki, Marco Corelone, Universo 2000
Kenzo low blowed Rey.
5) Blue Panther, Mistico, Volador Jr. DQ Averno, Black Warrior, Mephisto
Warrior yanked Mistico’s mask yet again – but Mistico had another mask underneath. So the rudos stil beat him up and got the third straight DQ finish. According to Ovaciones, Mistico challenged Warrior to a CMLL Middleweight match – maybe Ovaciones still doesn’t know what belt Warrior has or maybe Mistico doesn’t? – and Averno to a mask match. Neither were accepted

Ovaciones says the attendance was around 7,000 people, which is a huge dropoff. I’m thinking the missing people were Mistico fans who’d gotten enough of him this month, because those who did show up booed him on this night. I wasn’t interested in this lineup because it was the same basic card they’d been running since the Anniversary show (and before), with nothing new going on and the promise of a lot of cheap finishes, and I guess I wasn’t the only one thinking that.

GdR is airing
10/15 Arena Coliseo: Dark Angel, Lady Apache, Princesa Blanca b Hiroka, Princesa Sujei, Rosa Negra
10/13 Arena Mexico: 3) Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila b Felino, La Mascara, Maximo

and an interview with ‘Brazo de Platino Jr.’ – a masked man who wasn’t Maximo. Maybe I’m just tired, but I’m very confused.

Edit: It was Maximo, and I’d know that if I watched the whole thing.
