(Strong Style Spirit No lucha guys in this year’s NJPW Super J tournament. I guess it’s better than getting my hopes crushed again. Hirooki Goto is also not scheduled, so he’ll be around for a while longer.

They built up a Terrorista/Super Calo feud thru the show, with Calo wanting to replace Billy in the Barrios Boy match but Terrorista refusing to allow it to go down, and Terrorista showing up to attack Super Calo in the semimain. Tiffany hurt her shoulder in the second fall of her match. This seems to be a continuing interview.

Lots of subs on the show, with Mistico, Perro and Negro Casas all missing, and the announced women’s trios opener instead turning into a minis tag. Attendance was 7,500, lower than the last show.
Marco Corelone is interviewed in the Miamia Herald and comes off very well, like a man who has a plan. (thanks to mike informer)
(Milenio Mexico City) Blue Demon Jr. is opening a store, although he’s hyping it as a cultural gallery, complete with his own artwork.
(Cambio Sonora) A new local group called Liga Municipal de Lucha Libre is starting in Hermosillo.
Notiver has an interview with police officer who’s a part-time wrestler. He says he wrestled as Bronco in Veracruz, and is now under a different mask.
Magazines
– Luchas 2000 #367 has Mistico’s injury.
– Box Y Lucha #2818 has Ultimo’s Gran Prix win.
Some random lineups for this week:
CMLL (MON) 05/14 Arena Puebla [hugo999]
1) King Jaguar & Super Star vs La Mafia & Mr. Rafaga
2) Forajido, SWAT, the Tiger vs Fuerza Chicana, Toro Bill, Toro Bill Jr.
3) Centella de Oro, Leono, Tigre Rojo vs Loco Max, Misterioso II, Virus
4) La Mascara, Rey Bucanero, Volador Jr. vs Averno, Mephisto, Texano Jr.
5) Atlantis, Jushin Liger, Ultimo Guerrero vs Marco Corelone, Negro Casas, Ultimo Dragon
So Liger was staying till Monday but didn’t work Coliseo? (I think, haven’t seen those results.) I guess he just didn’t want to work a double shot on Sunday, which seems fair.
CMLL (TUE) 05/15 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Virgo vs Milenio
2) Exterminador vs Fraile de la Muerte
3) Golden vs Imposter
4) Ebola vs Depredador
5) Metalik vs Infierno
6) Gallo, Magnum, Rayman vs Euforia, Nosferatu, Satanico
7) Blue Panther & Vampiro vs Emilio Charles Jr. & Terrible
IWRG (THU) 05/17 Arena Naucalpan
1) Aguila Oriental vs Golem
2) Ave Fenix & Bacteria vs Macho II & Nemesis IWRG
3) Fabian el Gitano, Freelance, Turbo vs 911, AK47, Fierro
4) Dandy, Negro Navarro, Tony Rivera vs Enfermo Jr., Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Pierroth Jr.
5) Black Warrior, Dr. Cerebro, Stuka Jr., Suicida vs CIMA, Don Fuji, Masato Yoshino, Naruki Doi [copa High Power 2007]
911, AK47, Fierro are the latest iteration of the Oficials. Not sure where CIMA is the rest of the week. Everyon needs a vacation.
indy (THU) 05/17 Arena Olimpico Laguna de Gomez Palacion [Siglo de Torreon, Milenio Torreon]
1) Mago I & Scriba Jr. vs Fuego & Insolito
2) Aspid & Ricky Estrada vs Camorra & Moro Jr.
3) Angel de Oro, Indomable, Sexy Piscis vs Guerrero Inca, Piloto Negro, Sexy Francis
4) Hijo de Santo & Solar vs Espanto V & Mano Negra
It occurs to me that this is exactly the sort of booking Blue Demon Jr. gets, and that’s the danger of Santo’s standoff.
indy (SAT) 05/19 Deportivo Moctezuma
1) Aguila Oriental vs Golem
2) Ninja de Fuego & Pegaso (indy) vs Comando Mega & Volcan Negro
3) Antaris, Hombra Arana, Kung Fu Jr. vs Kraneo, Rambo Jr., Vampiro Metalico
4) Avisman & Kid Tiger vs Bacteria & Celestial [ri, losers advance, mask, hair]
5) Alex Koslov & Marco Corelone vs Misterioso Jr. & Universo 2000
This might be an IWRG show? It looks like that sort of lineup, but IWRG’s site is still down so I dunno. Bacteria and Avisman are the two unmasked guys in this match, I believe.
IWRG (SUN) 05/20 Arena Naucalpan
1) Antaris & Ave Fenix vs Avisman & Vampiro Metalico

Keep in mind, the local soccer team in Monterrey was playing against Chivas at the same time as the Arena Monterrey event. Although they were playing in Guadalajara, people are still going to stay home and watch on TV, or go to a bar with friends. When/If AAA runs Arena Monterrey, I’ll go. If not, I’ll stick to my plans to attend Anniversary 74 in Sept.
Looking at photos at Arenacoliseo.com I was disappointed with the turnout to see such a good show with X-Pac.
4) Hijo de Santo & Solar vs Espanto V & Mano Negra
It occurs to me that this is exactly the sort of booking Blue Demon Jr. gets, and that’s the danger of Santo’s standoff.
“”””””””””””””””””””””””
That kind of booking is the sort Hijo del Santo has got over here since… forever, in fact, I like that match much better since normally, he would be facing Blue Demon Jr, I’d take Espanto over Demon any day.
I don’t think Santito would have trouble in places like La Laguna that has tons of local guys, problem would be on tiny markets where the promoter needs to pull up a show with 10-14 non locals besides Santo.
What’s with the question marks in The Toryumon results?
What’s AAA IDS?
When did Billy Boy rejoin the Barrio Boyz?
You linked to last week’s Luchas 2000 I think. The new one has a bunch of pictures on the cover including Valiente with a trophy. When did Valiente win a trophy?!?!?!?!
IDS is the local promoters who ran the AAA show Interpromociones del Sureste or somthing like that…
Valiente won the Luchas 2000 anniversary cibernetico, didn’t he?
Oooohhhhh that’s right. That would make perfect sense seeing as it’s the cover of Luchas 2000.
As you can tell, it’s been a long day.
? marks were the accents characters not showing up right – there’s an with that issue on the computer I posted this form.
Whenever I post something like
AAA IDS (SUN)
or
CMLL LLA (SAT)
the second abbreviation is the local promoters initials, if it’s mentioned.
Billy Boy is not with the Barrios – that’s why Super Calo wanted to replace him – but the idea here is the match was signed in advance of the split.
Wonder if Calo will start shopping his mask around. One time I got to talk to Calo at an ECW show, and he was telling me that his body is shot. He said that when he wakes up in the morning he can’t move, and his young daughter stands by the bed crying for her daddy. Sad.
The DG crew will be in for PWG in SoCal this weekend (CIMA vs. Am Dragon and hopefully Don Fuji vs. Topgun Talwar too), but am psyched about their IWRG stop over. Let’s hope someones IWRG source is taping this weekend for a pretty stacked looking show…
