10/23: Coliseo, LdA, magazines, halcon

CMLL (SUN) 10/22 Arena Coliseo Results
1) Shockercito, Tzuki b Mini Violencia, Pierrothito
There’s a picture of Pierrothito on one knee, and it got me thinking – why isn’t there a Mini Dr. Wagner Jr.? If someome could pull it off, that’d be so great.
2) Amapola, Hiroka, La Nazi b India Sioux, Marcela, Sahori
3) Mascara Purpura, Maximo, Sagrado b Emilio Charles Jr., Mascara Ano 2000, Sangre Azteca
Emilio was faking a low blow, and Maximo figured if he was going to lose this way, he might as well get to do the low blow. He did, and the ref didn’t see any of it, so Maximo got the pin. They signed Maximo/Emilio for next Sunday.
4) Alex Koslov, Hirooki Goto, Pierroth DQ Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila
FdT were wearing Perros gear, so I don’t know what Ovaciones was talking about, though Halloween did grab the microphone to point ouf they were Familia de Tijuana. This was a rudo vs rudo battle, and either Pierroth or Damian got DQed for using a cookie sheet – both used it, but I’ve read differing results about who got caught.
5) Atlantis, Groon XXX, Shocker b Heavy Metal, Marco Corleone, Universo 2000 [pi]
Metal made peace with his team before the match, the other team failed to get along – so of course Groon pins Metal to win it. Univeros and Metal had a post match issue.

Two important notes
– it’s listed as a normal tournament, which means they’ll have 15 completely worthless matches, with the longest at 7 minutes and many sub 3 minutes. I hate one night quick lucha tournaments more than anything
– Neither Kenzo or Universo is included – I think that’s going to be the main event. (There’s also no Shocker and other people, so maybe it’ll be a trios and not a singles match. But it’s possible.)

Worst show of the year? Maybe the undercard will save it, but the worst top half Arena Mexico will put out there. And that’s even with a much better list of guys than they’ve done in the Azul tournament previously. It was more about ‘names’ in past years, and this is a nice collection of passable->great wrestlers. If this was a cibernetico, it’d be a bit intriguing, but I expect nothing out of a tournament.

Fomer Leyenda de Azul winners:
2000: Blue Panther
2003: Tarzan Boy
2004: Universo 2000
2005: Lizmark Jr.

The Notimex Arena Mexico summary says “more than 10,000” people showed up. It’s awful strange to have that big of a gap.

Lizmark is telling people he’ll retire soon. It’s believed he’s only been around recently to stay visible before losing his mask, but they haven’t set up a program for him in sometime (since they hinted at Averno/Mephisto vs Lizmark/Lizmark Jr.) They could still do something, but I’m betting on a mask match being made out of the blue.

According to 10/23 WON, WWE has decided to release Psicosis, but they haven’t offically done it yet. Meltzer guesses he may end up back in AAA, and back feuding with Psicosis II.

Magazines
– Box Y Lucha #2789 has Mistico, Cibernetico on a motorcycle, and Latin Lover having harsh words for AAA.
– Super Luchas #184 features bloody Halloween. The Konnan/TNA split tease is apparently a contract issue which may have already been resolved; Konnan wanted a pay raise (and got it), and he also wants to completely control his own bookings TNA books their guys out to outside shows, quite like the lucha system, but since it’s Konnan the wrestler working for Konnan the promotion (or whatever his role is in AAA), you could see why he doesn’t feel TNA should get a cut. Since Konnan the promoter is also bringing in other TNA people to AAA (and thus, a source of good outside bookings they probably don’t want to annoy), I’m guessing they’ll give in here too.
– LUCHAS 2000 #340 focuses with Rey Misterio losing loser leaves town I quit match on Smackdown (he’ll be back, but not for 6-8 months.)
– Guerreros del Ring Special #2 is another tattoo issue.

The newest El Halcon (# 74) is up!
– interview with El Elegido
– AULL recap from last Wednesday
– Q & A with Sensei, who admits no identity other than that one. He feels his worst match was his debut in Arena Colisoe, and his best match was his debut in Arena Mexico. He promises to soon unveal his finisher, called the Senseyina. Sensei’s other job is teaching karate. He got into wrestling when lived in Kyoto, Japan.
– Q & A with Soberano. He wrestled as Soberano Jr. before coming to Mexico City, but his dad isn’t wrestling any more, so he dropped to Jr. when joining CMLL. Not that this still can’t be confusing – his younger brother is Hijo de Soberano. (The CMLL one is the one who had all those LH matches with Ultimo Guerrero.) He made his debut as a late fill in for someone who no-showed, and still found time to be very nervous.
– Mascara Sagrada bio. They do 1/3rd of it on the name issue, which seems about right.
– Interview with Perro del Ring. He’s indy guy from Queretaro.

According to this post, Villano IV won his MMA fight (by KO punch!), but Hijo de Pierroth lost (by decision.) Both were facing bigger men (though details are scarce.) The promoter wants to do more luchadores in MMA matches.

Blue Demon Jr. and Tornado Negro were awarded plaques at last Friday’s Tijuana show, by the Tijuana lucha comission.

El Hijo del Santo was honored for his 24th Anniversary in wrestling at last week’s Arena Queretaro show.

Blue Demon Jr. sent Paul Tracy an updated Blue Demon mask, so he can better conceal his identity when complaining about the lack of toughness in the French. They plan to hang out when CART comes to Mexico next month.

My guess is, the Brazo de Platino Jr. which was interviewed on both GdR and FSE (what, they couldn’t bother to tape two interviews this week?), is another son of Porky that we’re just now meeting. This would be Brazo de Platino Jr. II, as Maximo did that gimmick previously.

This has nothing to do with anything, but it was a blurb I ran across on the Tijuana US Consulate site.

Over 100,000 American teenagers and young adults travel to resort areas throughout Mexico over Spring Break each year. While the vast majority enjoy their vacations without incident, several may die, hundreds will be arrested and still more will make mistakes that could affect them for the rest of their lives

Sounds great!
