CMLL (FRI) 12/29 Arena Mexico Results
1) Danger, Flash b Caligula, Messala
2) Amapola, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda b Lady Apache, Marcela, Sahori
3) Felino, Maximo, Virus b Nitro, Okumura, Sangre Azteca
4) Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr., Rey Bucanero b Kenzo Suzuki, Pierroth, Terrible
5) Mistico, Negro Casas, Volador Jr. DQ Averno, Black Warrior, Tarzan Boy

In the main event, Averno and Mistico were left in the ring in the final fall and Averno realized where this one was headed, so he fouled Mistico. That’s a moral victory for Averno, not taking La Mistica. Mistico vowed to take Averno’s mask and belt in 2007. I dunno about that, but I do know they’ll have a singles match as the main event of next week’s Arena Mexico show (which may or may not be aired.)

Semimain had a weird first fall finish – everyone counted out. Tecnicos won 2 and 3, so they won the match 2-0-1. I wonder what strategy you use for that third fall, knowing the worst case scenario is a tie. (Not that strategizing actually happened.)

Ovaciones says Amapola challenged Lady Apache after the rudas won the women’s match, CMLL says it was Hiroka. They’re just running a revenge trios match next week anyway.

Next week’s DF cards are up on CMLL.com. The highlight is Mistico/Averno, but Sunday’s coliseo semimain – Volador, Felino, Sagrado vs Averno, Mephisto, Alex Koslov – could be a nice one.

Airing on Guerreros del Ring
12/22 Mexico: Arkangel, Loco Max, Okumura b Fabian el Gitano, Leono, Tony Rivera
12/25 Coliseo: Pierroth, Sangre Azteca, Terrible b Mictlan, Sagrado, Texano Jr.

  1. I think Fabian is actually really improved. He used to be 10x worse than he is right now.:)

    Mictlan sure recovered fast from that broken neck as he’s booked twice next week. Either that or the people who run CMLL are unaware which of their own wrestlers recently suffered career-threatening injuries. Naturally I’m inclined to go with the latter.

    The website always has video up of matches that don’t air on TV but this week they did a ‘best of 2006’. Fucking garbage.

    On the bright side: http://cmll.com/resultados/funcion_mexico/primera06.html – INVERTED MICHINOKU DRIVER OFF THE TOP!!! Caligula is the best.

  2. CMLL TV is airing yesterday’s show… so no Year in Review, and apparently, no Volador Jr vs Averno…

  3. Ah well, a bit disappointing about Volador/Averno, but at least it’s new footage they aired, and the show looked OK – ‘Best ofs’ piss me off. If they had to do a best of, it should be a “lo que no vie” show.

    That opener looked insane, I hope Momentos covers it next week – wtf is that nutter Flash doing btw? is that a 450 plancha or something??

    And is it top 3, or top 2 and Coliseo match?

  5. I think it’s the same dive he did at the PPV. He tries to do a running springboard somersault plancha off his partner’s back but he overotates and drives both feet into the rudo’s face.:)

  6. Nop, it was a 450° splash from the top turnbuckle… or maybe it was a somersault from the top which overrotated?

  7. I guess we’ll find out on Momentos next week… maybe.

    I’d rather see Caligula’s inverted Michinoku Driver off the top!

  9. I stand corrected. Glad to know I’m not the only one that watches that part of the show trying to catch some cool highlights.:)
