CMLL (SUN) 02/18 Arena Coliseo Results [ova, hugo999]
1) Bracito de Oro, Mini Olimpico b Fire, Sombrita
2) Super Nova, Tony Rivera, Valiente b Apocalipsis, Hooligan, Ramstein
3) Arkangel, Mogur, Nitro b Leono, Texano Jr., Virus
4) Blue Panther, La Mascara, Mictlan b Alex Koslov, Ephesto, Misterioso II
5) Atlantis, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero b Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero
Dos went down in the main event, which doomed the tecnicos. Alex had a falling out with his partners, so he’s indeed going tecnico. Texano went down in the tercera, and Mogur fouled Leono to lead his team to victory before challenging for a hair match. Tony Rivera replaced Flash and got hurt. Three is an above average day.
Black Warrior and Mistico signed a lot of autographs while in Tabasco this weekend, and occasionally held up large banners. Didn’t see results for this show yet
CMLL PRI (SAT) 02/17 Plaza de la Unidad Results [El SOl de Toluca]
1) El Tigre, The Thing b Bengala, Damian el Inmortal
2) India Sioux, Marcela b Amapola, Hiroka
3) Destroyer, Emperador, Flecha DQ Estruendo, Skar, Sombra de Plata
4) Felino, Sagrado, Volador Jr. b Alex Koslov, Okumura, Veneno
5) Astro Boy, Mistico, Negro Casas b Averno, Hector Garza, Hijo del Perro Aguayo
I would attend political functions in the United States if they, like the PRI here, sponsored lucha libre battles. Anyway, the biggest news of the day is surely that Flecha and Sombra de Plata are feuding, if the report can be believed. Flecha faked a foul here. Astro Boy and Averno were added to the main event, and the finish was the finish you know and love.
indy (FRI) 02/16 Arena Queretaro Results [Knotty @ El Martinete
2) Dark Boy, Dark Crazy b Galaxy, Luminoso
3) Artillero, Super Comando DRAW Lince I, Lince II [LLQ TAG]
4) Batman, Robin b Blade, Perro del Ring
5) Huracan Ramirez, Huracan Ramirez Jr., Principe Valiente Jr. DQ Coco Blanco, Coco Rojo, Coco Verde
6) Electroshock, Hijo de Solitario b Pierroth Jr., Rambo
Tecnicos won when Solitario turned on Electroshock. I hate that – why should they get the win because they couldn’t get along? If you fight each other and cause the end of the match that way, you’re a loser. If I were Hijo de Pierroth or Rambo, I’d protest this to the commission.
indy (FRI) 02/16 Guaymas, Sonora Results [Contragolpe @ El Martinete]
1) Black Devil b Negrosino
2) Enfermero Jr. b Chacal
3) Sombra I, Sombra III b Azteca & Contragolpe
4) Cien Caras, Willy Cortez, Dr. Karonte b Super Halcon, Rey Centella Jr., Mastodonte
Why is Cien Caras doing random matches? ($$$?)
CMLL (SUN) 02/11 Arena Neza Results [The Gladiatores]
1) Chamaco Vadillo, Dark Devil b Ambar, Boaz
2) Mohicano I, Mohicano II DRAW Luis Cirio, Tony Cirio
3) Danger, Flash b Caligula, Messala
4) Rayo Tapatio I, Rayo Tapatio II, Satanico b Apocalipsis, Dr. X, Nitro
5) Felino, Mistico, Sagrado b Ramstein, Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero
La Mascara (Sagrado), Averno (Tarzan) and Mephisto (Ultimo) were all supposed to be in the main event. La Mistica on Ultimo. Flash did a 450 to win here, and the report didn’t note an arm injury here. Maybe another show the same day? Tough for him to be in Guadalajara the same day, unless my geography is way off. Ramstein is the (unofficial) Rey de Neza.
CMLL (SUN) 02/11 Colonia Aguil Azul, Neza Lineup [The Gladiatores]
1) Senky, Sculman, Can Star b Lobo Vikingo, Bestia Metalca, Sobredosis
2) Mini Olimpico, Ultimo Dragoncito b Mini Halloween, Mini Damian 666
3) La Nazi, Amapola, ? b Marcela, Sahori, Flor Metalica
4) Misterioso II, Okumura, Makabro DQ Fantasma, Hijo del Fantasma, Fantasma Jr.
5) Dos Caras Sr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Felino b Olimpico, Mascara Ano 2000, Tarzan Boy
BAJA STAR (SAT) 02/10 Auditorio de Tijuana Results [The Gladiatores]
0) Cazador, Rey Divino b Inmortal, Siniestro
1) Calavera, Clon b Duende, Kimura
2) Ricochet, Super Rhino b Angel Negro Jr., Pancho Cachondo
3) Extassis, Star Boy b Enfermero Jr., Pierroth Jr.
4) Hijo de Rey Misterio, Rey Misterio Sr., Super Astro DQ Mortiz, Principe Arandu, TJ Boy
5) LA Park, Latin Lover b Hector Garza, Super Parka
Latin’s apparently making his own schedule, which is how he ends up facing a CMLL guy while working on AAA TV.
AAA Villalobos (SAT) 02/10 Auditorio Local de La Magdalena Atlicpac Results [The Gladiatores]
1) Callejero, Perro Cibernetico b Angel del Metal, Super Destello
2) Mascara de Oro Y Plata, Super Mascara b Iluminado, King Demon
3) La Parkita, Mascarita Magnifica b Mini Charly Manson, Mini Cuervo
4) Demonio Cibernetico, Guerrero Negro, Johnny Villalobos b Laredo Kid, Nemesis AAA, Super Fly
5) Diabolica, Monster, Muerte del Diablo b Alebrije, Martha Villalobos, Zorro
There are also AULL results over on The Gladiatores, but author pretty much passed on giving results in the tag team tournament, as far as I could tell, and nothing much of note happened.
AAA Munoz (WED) 02/14 Auditorio Miguel Barragan de San Luis Potosi Results [El Sol de SLP]
3) Fabi Apache, Martha Villalobos b La Diabólica, Miss Janeth
4) Alberije, Billy Boy b Gran Apache, Monsther
5) Billy Boy, El Elegido, Zorro b Abismo Negro, Alan Stone, Cibernetico
Negro Casas and Texano are headed back to Japan next month, with Texano getting a title match against Minoru for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship. This title match is out of nowhere, and I thought this was just a case of “Japan loves cowboys”, but no, there’s a ISSUE here
Minoru explained that when he went to Mexico around four years ago, he and Texano developed an unusual hatred for each other and that Texano tricked him when telling him directions and Minoru ended up in a taxi for about five hours. If he defeats Texano, he wants the young Mexican to pay him back the taxi fare.

So I guess Minoru has heat with Texano. How much is 5 hours of taxi fare in Mexico City? We may have to open up a collection box.
TV question: Did the Tag Title match air this weekend? Which match aired last weekend?
Magazines
– Super Luchas celebrates it’s 200th issue. Congratulation to them.
– Luchas 2000 356 has the new trios champs, Volador Jr. with his trophy, and Rayo de Jalisco’s return to Arena Mexico.
Charly Manson chats at boxylucha.com on Wednesday.
La Estrella De Iquique has an interview with Guerrera de Titanes old Numbero Uno fan (that was his gimmick, apparently.)

Hugo’s report was very high on Valiente who seems to have had the best weekend a luchador could dream of having. He hit his usual blind double springboard moonsault which mihgt be the hardest dive in the world to pull off correctly on a regular basis, and then of course Tony Rivera couldn’t hit a regular plancha off the top rope without hurting himself. Way to make yourself look like a fool! That match better air on TV.
I guess they’re doing one more week of building and Leono/Mogur is set for the first Sunday show in March.
Cien Caras still wrestling is about as sad as Fishman still wrestling. The pictures make him look like a great grandfather. Perhaps he’s trying to stay in-shape(and I use that term loosely…) for his next run against Rayo De Jalisco Jr. or Perro Aguayo.
The IWGP Tag Titles match aired in JIP form this week on TV. The week before was a tag match with the Mexicans against Prince Devitt and someone.
Kaz Hayashi will be showing up in Mexico soon, probably for AAA. Also heard NOSAWA is going with him, but wasn’t NOSAWA affiliated with CMLL?
Nosawa jumped to AAA last time he was in; I remember it, because they tried to have him win a Mexican title he’s not eligible for.
