IWRG (THU) 02/01 Arena Naucalpan
1) Celestial b Extrano
2) Trauma I & Trauma II b Bactiera & Golem
3) Fabian el Gitano, Freelance, Kid Tiger b Black Jaguar, Black Stone, Black Terry
4) Esfinge, Suicida, Volador Jr. DQ Camorra, Nitro, Veneno
5) Negro Navarro DQ Negro Casas
Veneno caused the main event DQ, helping Negro Casas for whatever reason. Nitro fouled Esfinge in semimain. Esfinge is Spanish for Sphinx, by the way. Google Translation is unaware of this.
Only Galavision would run a sports round up show during the Super Bowl.
CMLL: Main event. Exciting highlights of Corleone choking Shocker, and Atlantis putting Wagner in an armbar. Corelone gets Wagner and Bucanero on the superman dive – Atlantis flees rather than get accidentally taken out. Shocker gets in a tope con hilo, Rey’s lifted Wagner’s dive, Wagner does his own dive. Corelone’s about to Black Hammer Shocker to death when Universo walks off, and Corelone throws down Shocker and stares at Universo. Why do they do that? They always do that. Anyway, Corelone is just standing in the ring and doing nothing when he gets a low blow uppercut from behind.
AAA: Mascarita Sagrada, Octagoncito, Mascarita Divina vs Mini Abismo Negro, Jerrito Estrada, Mini Charly Manson from Toluca. Are they showing this one just because it was the end of Sagrada? That seems harsh. I’m just waiting for the spots and – oh no that was awful. Mini Abismo’s on the floor, Sagrada somersault slingshots out for a headscissors, and I don’t know if Mini Abismo is too far away or if Sagrada didn’t get a tight scissors, but he hits Abismo with his back, never really gets his feet locked around Abismo’s head, and goes straight down, landing on the back of his head with no protection. He’s limp at the moment, though Abismo doesn’t know it and falls back while pulling Sagrada on it to sell the missed dive. The ringside people are checking on him immediately, and there’s a clip a moment later where they’re getting his mask off in a panic.
We still haven’t gotten an update on that. I think that means he didn’t die.
What’s airing on Lucha Libre Mexicana:
Angel Blanco Jr., Medico Asesino Jr., Mr. Tempest vs Venum, Suicida (masked), Ninja de Fuego
Thank god for the Death Valley Driver: this is off the tape they’ve got marked as T72, WWO TV from 3/18/96 to 4/14/96. That means we’ve got Tito Santana, Rayo de Jalisco Jr. and El Hijo del Santo versus Blue Panther and Samoans next week. I don’t know how I should feel about that.

They showed a clip with Mascarita in the hospital, he was using his mask so I guess he will be OK, of course, it could’ve been another guy under the mask… they said he would be out for a while, I’m thinking maybe he’s done for good and that they’ll put someone else for that gimmick, Torerito?
“Esfinge is Spanish for Sphinx, by the way.”
Yeah – and have you saw his mask? – it’s fucking awesome!! (if a bit extravagent!).
There’s some pics of it on the Gladiatores
He’d better not suck, a mask like that deserves better!
Oh c’mon, the greatest looking new IWRG wrestlers are LOS TRAUMAS! What the fuck! They look like my next new favorite guys to mark out for just based on looks.
