indy (TUE) 11/28 Arena Coliseo Monterrey Results [rfc]
1) Scott Savage b Mr. Vega
2) Gitano del Norte, Golden Boy b Gavilan Norteno, Rey Demonio Jr.
3) Dule Poly, Turbina b La Mistica, La Sombra
4) Anibal el Vampiro, Bengali, Difunto b Apostol, Cats, Sky
5) Black Soul, Morvius, Titanik b Furor, Galactar, Voltaje Negro [vale tudo]

indy (SUN) 12/03 Arena Coliseo Monterrey Lineup
1) La Furia & Viento Negro vs Payaso Loco I, Payaso Loco II
2) Burrito, Corazon Adicto vs Borrico & Angel Negro
3) La Kalaka, Enrique Vera, Sky vs Potro Jr., Difunto I, Difunto II
4) Dule Poly vs La Bruja [LLF ?]
5) Humberto Garza Jr., Stuka, Casanova vs Pancho Tequilla, El Espanto, Vudu
6) Rayo de Jalisco Jr. vs Konan Big [FILL HEAVY, mask]

Rayo’s not losing his mask. If I’m understanding the situation right, attendance has dropped off big here, and this is a desperation attempt to get another big crowd – though it’s unlikely to be sustained and Rayo’s fee will cut into that.

El Hijo Del Diablo visited Ovaciones’ office, vowing to return on Monday with Mistico’s mask. It’s good to have goals. Hope he’s enjoying his last few hours of being masked.

Not to pressure you, Alexis, but it is December. (This is why I make my deadlines ten times longer than necessary. Lies and exagerrations are great.)

If you’re a Figure Four Online member, Steve Sims is on the audio show today. If you’re not, well, sorry, go find $6 for a month. In an alternate universe, Mr. Sims is doing this site (and with much better content) and I’m – uh, I dunno. Messing with PHP/mySQL in some other fashion.

12/01 Arena Mexico Preview

Actually, the big show tonight is the Mistico vs Hijo del Diablo mask match in Tijuana. (So big, I listed it twice.) There’s even a bigger looking CMLL show in Mexico City, by the VIP promotion:

CMLL (FRI) 12/01 Salon 21, DF
1) Leono, Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metalico vs Dr. X, Nitro, Sangre Azteca
2) Dark Angel & India Sioux vs Amapola & Hiroka
3) Dr. Wagner Jr. & Hijo del Santo vs Blue Demon Jr. & LA Park

With Santo in town elsewhere, and Mistico out of town, why were they even considering running a PPV on this day? Maybe they were slow in realizing the schedule.

Anyway, the not-major, not-PPV card is:

CMLL (FRI) 12/01 Arena Mexico
1) Tigre Blanco & Tigre Metalico vs Loco Max & Ramstein
2) Mascara Purpura, Sagrado, Virus vs Alex Koslov, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca
3) Atlantis, Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero vs Damain 666, Halloween, Hector Garza
4) Dr. Wagner Jr., Universo 2000, Volador Jr. vs Averno, Kenzo Suzuki, Mephisto
5) Dos Caras Jr., Rey Bucanero, Shocker vs Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Marco Corelone, Mr. Aguila

The big draw here is Perro’s return to Arena Mexico. This is his first match since losing the trios title match, and I wonder if his return means they’re finally going to pick up the Shocker turn in that match. All the Perros except Terrible (and Blue Demon, sorta) are on the show, and the champs are teaming up against a Perro group in the tercera, so something’s happening. Maybe it’s not a coincidence that none of those guys are yet booked for the 12/15 show – that’d give another needed strong match to the show.

Note that the big build to Shocker/Universo vs Marco/Kenzo has them split into different matches, with Corelone and Universo notably not in the same one. If there’s anything to them having issues, this would seem to back it up.
