Mistico out for three weeks

They’re saying left shoulder injury. Volador Jr. replaces Mistico in the main event tonight, and everyone else is up in the air.

Norte’s story says Mistico got hurt on San Luis Potosi, but I believe that’s an error – there was a fan report stating a near riot broke out when he no showed. Ovaciones confirms Mistico didn’t make that date, so this injury must’ve gone down earlier in the week.

Update: CMLL.com has confirmed this, going with the storyline that Damian and Halloween attacked Mistico and caused the injury in SLP, on orders from Perro.

05/03: Queretaro, Liger, Monterrey, Mistico not in SLP

According to Ovaciones, Leono and Maximo will be out two weeks. Leono hurt his right elbow, Maixmo hurt an ankle.

Satanico turned on Mictlan, naturally. Show on the 15th will have a cibernetico with Stuka Jr., Super Nova, Maximo, Leono, Flash, and Astro Boy.

CMLL (TUE) 05/08 Arena Coliseo Lineup [CMLL Magazine]
2) Flash, Starman, Sensei vs Arkangel, Nitro, Jeque
3) Leono, Tony Rivera, Stuka Jr. vs Misterioso II, Ohara, Loco Max
4) Mr. Aguila, Damian 666, Halloween vs Sagrado, ?, Mictlan
5) Jushin Liger, Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero vs Dos Caras Jr., Hijo de Lizmark, Ultimo Dragon

Jeque lives! Also, Liger. (The ? is Maximo, but obviously no.)

According to this post (El Halcon), Mistico no-showed the SLP show yesterday and a riot ensued.

indy (FRI) 05/04 Arena Monterrey
1) Perla Negra vs Paty Rey
2) Indio Payutla & Mosco vs Dark Side & Sika
3) Cazador, Ejecutor, Tormenta Negra vs Puma de Plata, Relampago Azul, Zorro Plateado Jr.
4) Calaquita & La Parkita vs Mini Batman & Mini Killer
5) Black Power, Hijo del Diablo, Shu el Guerrero vs Angel del Amor, Azteca Warrior, Casanova

Note because they haven’t been running Friday shows previously.

Ovaciones also hypes up the Luchas 2000 show for this weekend.

A new arena has opened up Monclova, which they’re calling “Arena Monclova“. That must’ve been tough. They’re planning on twice monthly AAA shows along with boxing and other entertainment on other days. Judging from the picture, it’s not a building, just an open space with bleachers and chairs set up.

Univision has an article on Intocable, who’s apparently in one of their telenovals. The subtitle of the article is “El nuevo latin lover” and that’s very amusing.

CMLL FSE GDR #38

taped 04/22, aired 04/29

You know, I was thinking about, it watching the trios match here and I’ve decided they’ve made mistake doing a tournament with the Mexican Women’s Title. No, no, no – it should’ve been Women’s TAG TEAM titles.

It’d have to be CMLL Women’s Tag Titles and not Mexico, but there’s enough logical teams

Amapola/Princesa Sujei
India Sioux/Lady Apache
Hiroka/Mima Shimoda
Diana la Cazadora/Marcela
Dark Angel/foreign woman to be named later – let’s say Sara del Ray, so it can be some Can-Am Express 2K7 deal
Medussa/Rosa Negra
Sahori/Luna Magica
uh…La Nazi/Diosa Maya

Instead of deciding the “secondary champion”, you get something that’s unique. Instead of excluding the top women and just suddenly expecting the lesser women to mean something, you get everyone involved even. The real purpose here is that fourth team – someone’s with Diana’s personality and Marcela’s skill would be perfect, but I don’t think you combine them into one person with medicine quite yet. You CAN make them a tag team, and I think it’d be pretty successful. And it’d work fine with the other top five teams as well.

things you might care about: if there was any plan to turn Texano before it happened last Tuesday, Texano and Maximo didn’t know it here. As always, there’s gotta be a story there and I have no idea what it is.

AAAUS: Triangle Mixed match for a title shot, Air Force vs Dark Family and Hell Brothers vs Foreign Legion

GdR: As I put together these listings, I realized that Women’s Cibernetico might not air after all. With six matches on Sunday’s show, and the matches being bigger than usual, it’d be easy just to take skip the usual Mexico match. Anyway, Mistico/Warrior should be here

FSE: …because they’ve building to the Mex Trios match here.

CMLL Mex:
It wasn’t till last weekend till I figured out that GalaMex isn’t updating their links to post to the news schedule each week – they’re stuck in two weeks behind, for whatever reason. This is this weekend’s schedule. This week’s show is 2:15, so maybe they hae time for another match – especially if that is a women’s title match, which shouldn’t be all that long.

AAA Mex: Cage match and Zorro’s unmasking.

My interview on Figure 4 Radio is up. It’s subscriber only, but if you listen, tell me what you think.

The tags on each post should be working again, though it doesn’t quite have the functionality of before. I may add to it, but the old way was causing server problems.

05/02: Coliseo, IWRG, AULL, Monterrey

CMLL (TUE) 05/01 Arena Coliseo [ova]
1) Vaquero & Zayco b Espiritu Maligno & Karissma
2) Bracito de Oro & Electrico b Fire & Mini Mr. Aguilita
3) Goto, Ohara, Okumura b Brillante, Euforia, Starman
4) Ephesto, Texano Jr., Virus b Metro II, Ogun, Sagrado
5) Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca, Ultimo Guerrero b Blue Panther, Shocker, Volador Jr.
6) Atlantis b Alex Koslov [NWA LH]

Alex put up a good fight and won the first fall, but Atlantis took two and three clean. In the semimain, Ultimo beat Shocker with his own move. Sagrado filled in for Maximo, who still out from his injury on Sunday. They might as well change the teased Maximo/Texano feud to Sagrado/Texano feud – that’s what the feud was here. Euforia filled in for a hurt Leono in the third match – I’m not sure where this leaves the hair match for next Monday – and didn’t get along with his teammates. Mr. Agulita replaces Sombrita in the minis match, but I don’t know if anyone was hurt there.

IWRG (THU) 04/19 Arena Naucalpan [Hector Albores @ thegladiatores]
1) Golem & Puma King b Bacteria & Celestial
2) Cyborg & Hermano Muerte II b Trauma I & Trauma II
3) Astro Boy, Halcon Salvaje, Kid Tiger b Black Terry, Dr. Karonte Jr., Kraneo
4) Enfermero Jr., Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Veneno b Esfinge, Hijo de Anibal, Suicida
5) Black Warrior, Hijo de Cien Caras, Misterioso II b Alex Koslov, Mistico, Volador Jr.

Cyborg cheated to help his team win (was eliminated, but held the last remaining Trauma down from the outside while he was being pinned), and it sounds like they’re doing something with him and the Traumas. Veneno got turned on by Enfermero Jr. and Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. after their win, for no clear reason. Warrior snuck in a foul on Mistico.

AULL (SUN) 04/22 Arena Lopez Mateos [Jesús Silva Hernández @ thegladiatores]
