04/07: Mexico, Lineups, GdR

thecubsfan news

CMLL (FRI) 04/06 Arena Mexico [ova, esto]
1) Super Nova & Tony Rivera b Apocalipsis & Ramstein
2) Hirooki Goto, Ohara, Shigeo Okumura b Felino, Máximo, Valiente
3) Alex Koslov, Dr. Wagner Jr., Rayo de Jalisco Jr. b Atlantis, Sangre Azteca, Tarzan Boy
4) Blue Demon Jr., el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mr. Águila b Marco Corelone, Místico, Sagrado
5) Último Guerrero b Héctor Garza

ESTO claims this show had a larger attendance and was of better quality than than last week’s PPV. However, they also mention that a noticeable amount of fans left after the semimain. ESTO’s theory is the show was so good to that point, fans were satisfied and didn’t need another match. I think the show is over for a lot of folks once Mistico wrestles. Ovaciones doesn’t mention any of this.

Rudos won the semimain, with Perro challenging for a tag team title shot (!) versus Mistico and Negro next week, which is signed. Perro must’ve attacked Mistico some more, because Ultimo came out early to attack Perro, and we’re supposed to wonder if maybe Mistico and Ultimo are secretly allied now. In the main event, Ultimo pinned Hector using the ropes, though I’ve seen some mention Hector was strechered out.

Flash was supposed to work the opener as his return from injury, but was replaced by Tony. Perhaps he’s not all the way back yet?

Lineups…

CMLL (TUE) 04/10 Arena Coliseo Lineup
1) Electrico, Celestial vs Pierrothito, Mini Violencia
2) Valiente, Super Nova, Trueno vs Hooligan, Apocalipsis, Ramstein
3) Tony Rivera, Satanico, Metro vs Arkangel, Euforia, Nosferatu
4) Maximo, Virus, Texano Jr. vs Eclipse, Ephesto, Okumura
5) Rey Bucanero, Heavy Metal, Alex Koslov vs Atlantis, Olimpico, Sangre Azteca

It seems like they’re giving Euforia and Nosferatu time to get used to their new gimmicks before putting them on TV, which is good.

CMLL (FRI) 04/13 Arena Mexico Lineup
1) Tsuki, Shockercito vs Fire, Mini Mr. Aguila
2) Dark Angel, Sahori, Luna Magica vs Hiroka, Princesa Sujei, Mima Shimoda
3) Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr. vs Universo 2000, Tarzan Boy, Sangre Azteca
4) Marco Corelone, Shocker, Rey Bucanero vs Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Olimpico
5) Mistico, Negro Casas vs Perro Aguayo Jr., Mr. Aguila [CMLL TAG]

That third match is so full of hate. I could swear CMLL themselves told me Lizmark turned rudo, and he’s a tecnico yet again. Worse still is the resumption of Rayo/Universo.

I’m thinking no title change.

CMLL (SUN) 04/15 Arena Coliseo Lineup
1) Tigre Blanco, Tiger Metalico, Tony Rivera vs Mr. Mexico, Arkangel, Dr. X
2) La Mascara, Leono, Mictlan vs Mephisto, Ephesto, Misterioso II
3) Sagrado, Maximo, Texano Jr. vs Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila
4) Mistico, Rey Bucanero, Lizmark Jr. vs Atlantis, Black Warrior, Ultimo Guerrero

Four matches announced, no Jeque/Stuka – looks like the mask match is going down here. Note the (for the moment) tercera has the Mexico Trios champs teaming up for the first time in a while, against a logical team to challenge them.

airing on CAN52 Guerreros del Ring
04/01 Coliseo: Mini Damian 666, Mini Halloween, Mini Mr. Aguila b Mini Olímpico, Tzuki, Último Dragoncito
04/01 Coliseo: Atlantis, LA Park, Último Guerrero b Damián 666, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Halloween
en casa de Black Warrior

YAY MINIS.

  1. MINI’S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I WANT TO SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

  2. Now that I’ve calmed down… (not really… MINI’S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!), I wanted to point out:

    – Felino replaced La Mascara in the segunda according to Ovaciones.

    – I am also terrified of them building to a Universo vs Rayo match for the Heavyweight Title. DO THEY NOT HAVE ANYONE ELSE THAT CAN CHALLENGE FOR THAT BELT?!?!?! Hopefully it’s kept off TV like all Rayo and Demon’s matches so far. (or so it appears for the first two weeks with them working terceras)

    – Ultimo turning face would be interesting only b/c it’d give Rey Bucanero new life if they could team together once again. The problem is Ultimo (much like Chessman) is one of those guys that can NEVER be completely turned since 80% of the tecnico roster needs him to look good. Then again, Averno is getting really great in that role…

    – Next Friday looks pretty average but it should draw huge with Mistico/Perrito in a title match.

    – The Coliseo tapings are all sorts of weak. Stuka/Jeque already? I hope it’s just a swerve and they are adding some sort of title match or singles match coming from this week’s main event. Perhaps Shocker vs Perrito or Shocker vs Garza?

    – I hope they give Euforia and Nosferatu a couple of years to get used to their gimmicks.;)

    – I don’t hate Mictlan as much as I pretend to. I just need to see more of him.

  3. Wow, next weeks cards don’t half suck! It’s like going from one extreme to the other when comparing to this weekends TV cards.

    That said, the Arena Mex main has potential to be good, although i want to see Averno/Mephisto challenge for the titles and win them (so that Volador and Mistico can then challenge them) :D

    However, as long as last nights Segunda and tomorrows segunda airs* it should still be a good weekend of lucha TV anyway. The following week on the other hand…. :(

    * hoping that it’s someone enjoyable to watch who fills in for Flash – ie not Tony “seen one match, you’ve seen them all” Rivera)

    I’m not a huge minis fan, but i’m glad that match is airing as i think i will like Pequeno Halloween/Damiancito 333 judging from that one match i saw last summer (would still rather have Troll~ though), and we’ll get a chance to see mr Aguilita for the first time. And Tzuki and Ultimo Lizard are always loads of fun, so i wouldn’t imagine they could go wrong with this.

    The mini Familia don’t even seem that small – probably about virus-size. So considering that, they should just replace the shitty full size versions and have them move up to the big Perros! :)

    I used to quite like Halloween and to a lesser extent Damian, but nowadays they are dreadful to watch.

  4. I think Damian and Halloween are banged up after all the years of crazy bumps and now they save up their craziness for big shows only.

    I am PUMPED about that mini’s match! TZUKI! It’s been a couple years since he made TV and I can’t wait to see what he can invent with the Mini Familia.

  5. By process of elimination, FSE has more Stuka Jr./Jeque and the Coliseo semi-main. I wonder if they’ll swerve, not air the Coliseo semi-main and instead air a match from the PPV… perhaps the Guerreros vs Perros undercard bout.

    Next week we may not get the Arena Mex segunda from this week since they’ll get to choose from all the Arena Mexico matches last night and will obviously go with Mistico’s match.

    BTW, anyone catch Mephisto/Efesto’s new masks?

  10. Damn, double post, + turned out to be the Especial from the same show, Rayo fans, rejoice!!!

  11. Of all weeks to air the tercera.:) Oh well, I guess it guarantees the segunda will air next weekend which will make Henrik and myself happy. VALIENTE!

  12. I’m filling out my ballot and I can’t for the life of me think of anymore matches but 3. I know there were some good AAA matches but I forgot what they were.
