Last night’s Coliseo show was an odd one. Someone felt like booking angles, which is bizarre for a Tuesday show.
CMLL (TUE) 04/24 Arena Coliseo [ovaciones, cmll, DIOS @ box y lucha]
1) Rayo Tapatio I & Rayo Tapatio II DQ Caligula & Messala
2) Brillante, Stuka Jr., Tony Rivera b Artillero, Hooligan, Super Comando
3) Euforia, Loco Max, Nosferatu b Felino, Mictlan, Satanico
4) Maximo, Texano Jr., Virus DQ Goto, Ohara, Okumura
5) Alex Koslov, Negro Casas, Shocker b Atlantis, Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero
Alex submitted Atlantis in the main event. This is their fourth straight Tuesday opposing each other, and it sounds like it’ll be five, because Alex wants a shot at the NWA Light Heavyweight Title.
Maximo and Texano Jr. got ramped up for their big title defense on Sunday…by turning on each other! It looks like Maximo got a five man beating, with both Texano and Virus attacking him (which someone meant they won by DQ, but never mind.) No idea why – Ovaciones mentions “miscommunication”, and hints we’re already headed to a Virus/Maximo hair match. Sagrado/Texano/Maximo have zero chance of retaining the Mexican trios belts on Sunday.
In the tercera, Satanico returned to do rudo side on a permanent basis, betraying Mictlan and Felino to help his new students (Eufora and Nosferatu.) After the match, the Nuevo Nuevo Nuevo Infernales beat up Loco Max for good measure.
Caligula yanked one of the Tapatios masks. Stuka beat Super Comando.
CMLL (TUE) 05/01 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Thunder Boy vs Milenio
2) Casanova vs Fraile de la Muerte
3) Idolo vs Mr. Trueno
4) Evola vs Danger
5) Leon Blanco vs Egipcio
6) Gallo, Magnum, Stuka vs Malefico, Mascara Magica, Toxico
7) Rayman & Vampiro vs Black Warrior & Eclipse
So he’s back as a tecnico. Good to know.
(El Porvenir) Arena Mexico is often called the cathederal of Lucha Libre. This Saturday, it’s going to be a stand in church. As far as I can tell from the article, they’re having a religion convention at the normal huge church in town. It wraps up on Sunday, but theyr’e not going to be able to hold Saturday mass there as a result, and so they’re renting out Arena Mexico. To cover the rent, they’re selling tickets to church – ringside tickets are 50 pesos ($4.55US). I hope service is randomly interrupted by a Mistico chant.
This means Arena Mexico will have an event three straight days (normal Arena Mexico, mass, special show on Sunday), and also three Saturdays in a row (mass, Luchas 2000, Toryumon)
AAA’s preview of Friday’s taping including Crazy Boy talking about extreme wrestling.
(Suburban Chicago News) About 1.5 hour away from me, in Waukegan, IL, the library will be celebrating Day of the Kid by bringing in Espectro and La Parkita (listed here as brothers) to talk about life as lucha libre wrestler. Those pictures sure look familiar.
(Beaumont Journal) Beaumont, TX’s first ever Cinco de Mayo festival will include some lucha libre matches; main event is Pentagon Black/Xochitl Hamada vs Sicodelico Jr./Miss Vicky. Tickets are $15-$25 for the whole event, including a music peformance which seems to be the main act. You can get the tickets around town, and at ticketmaster.com
El Sol de Tampico has a obit for wrestler Alejandro Montana.
IWRG’s site is still down. So is El Halcon’s.

There is a 1 hour 30 minute show on Galavision (Mexico only) tonight called ‘Lucha Libre’. Perhaps they ran the angles last night to show them on this show?
What time?
Nine! HMMM.
9:00 – 10:30, Mexico time.
If you are to believe the WON, this could be reward for producing good ratings. Wouldn’t it be something to have all three main shows being broadcast every week?
Of course this could all be a letdown and it’ll be a repeat of some old show. We’ll see.
They should have a passion play style match between Mistico and Satanico.
Looks like XEJTV is airing a local show instead.
It’s alright, the show airing is Rey De Reyes anyhow.
Rey de Reyes 2007? Hehehe, I forgot about tonight’s lucha show…
I believe they ran the special on Galavision tonight to throw competition against TV Azteca’s soccer game. Mexico’s Nielsen system, IBOPE shows good ratings for CMLL with M 18-49. So if I were programming for Televisa, I’d look for something to attract that demo against TV Azteca.
What I don’t get is how the hell the Arena Coliseo Monterrey stuff can do a 5+ HH rating in Monterrey.
So we’re back to the original question: “Why did CMLL run so many angles on Tuesday”?

Maybe the Arena Mexico Kid’s show will be aired on the following Friday, and this week’s Tuesday will go on FSE and C52Mx
