04/13-04/15 Lucha Times

AAA: Rey de Reyes – Billy/Apache in a hair match again, the Tag Tournament final, and lots of random cameos

FSE: last stop before the mask match.

GDR: Perros vs High Society. If they air the segunda from Coliseo, this could be very neat. (So no chance? No chance.)

AAAMEX: 04/01 taping – Charly/Chessman vs Kenzo/Mesias in the main event, Dark Family vs Air Force and a triangle mixed tag match on the undercard

CMLLMEX: Tag Title match, High Society vs Guerreros, Rayo vs Sangre (and maybe Lizmark will finally turn.)

I’m going to be busy Saturday morning; I’ll try to stick a results thread up (so you can discuss TV there), but the GdR lineup won’t be up till much later.

04/11: Coliseo, Monterrey

CMLL (TUE) 04/10 Arena Coliseo [ova, cmll]

Atlantis fouled Alex in the main event. Ovaciones lists “Perrito” as the non-Violencia mini in the opener, but CMLL’s got Pierrothito, who was scheduled to particpate. Same thing with “Europa”/”Euforia” in the tercera.

Nosferatu is listed at 90 KG and 176 cm. FWIW, Soberano Jr. is 95 KG and 182 cm. Don’t have stats on Chamaco Valaguez Jr.

amateur @ box y lucha, notable box y lucha poster, went to the Arena Coliseo Guadalajara show, and said the building was full (maybe past capacity) for Mephisto/Mistico. He says it was a pretty good match (and that’s coming from someone not usually a fan of Mistico.)

Mi Morelia has a short article on La Parka Jr.’s crash. He’s not happy with how long it’ll take for him to get back.

Mistico’s still drawing as a spot show attraction. Nearly 1,000 have been sold two weeks in advance for a Mexicali show featuring him. Tickets are usually bought two days in advance, so the promoter sees this as a very good sign, and a chance that they might fill the building (9,000) and set a Baja California attendence record. (La Cronica.)

Dr. Wagner hung out with the Chivas at their practice yesterday. (La Presna) The futbol ones, not the wrestling ones! Wagner’s apparently a friend of Hector Reynoso, and they jokingly made hair/mask challenges.

Noticias Oaxaca has it’s usual story profiling a guy who had big matches against stars and we have no record of this ever happening so I dunno if we’re just missing the records or what. As usual.

random: You know how odd things stick in your head? “Chamaco Ortiz” was apparently stuck in mine. We thought it might be an alternate Artillero name, but I figured it a better guess when looking around the wiki this morning – Chamaco Ortiz is Hombre Bala/Monsther’s original name. I don’t think Monsther is working unmasked matches at Arena Juba de Reynosa and elsewhere, but I do remember his daughter India Sioux mentioning in an interview that she had a brother who was (about to start) wrestling – could he be Chamaco Ortiz? Seems to fit.

I’m sure someone mentioned this months ago in a magazine and I’m eight months slow on it. (Or I figured out and forget.) Really need to start getting magazines, I think.

New CMLL Champion

El Occidental

Mistico won the CMLL World Welterweight Championship, defeating Mephisto on Tuesday in Arena Coliseo Guadalajara. Mistico is the 22nd champion. Mephisto had held the belt since Feburary 24, 2004.

El Occidental has the story, and a bloody victorious Mistico appears on today’s cover.

Mistico winning this belt substantially increases the chances he’ll lose the tag team titles on Friday. I do not believe he’ll have two belts for long, and I think it’s more of a matter of deciding if it makes sense for Perro and Aguila to have two belts (and probably do another title change with the tags or the trios), or if Negro/Mistico retain on Friday and drop them soon to someone else. Mistico did hold both the NWA Middleweight and the CMLL Tag Team titles for a few months last year, but CMLL has seems to avoid doing that sort of thing.

Mistico is a three belt champion at the moment – he also still the IWRG Super Welterweight Champion, though that belt is not known to been defended since just after it was created.

The only other result listed from the show is Dr. Wagner over Averno, which is odd because they weren’t originally on the card.

Update: CMLL mentions this in it’s news section.

It occurs to me that I have no idea if Arena Coliseo Guadalajara is still/back on the air, and which day they’re taping. Anyone know?
