06/11: Coliseo, VIP, Monterrey, AOL

CMLL (SUN) 06/10 Arena Coliseo [ovaciones, superlucha]
1) Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II b Vaquero & Zayco
2) Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Nitro b Fabián el Gitano, Metálico, Tony Rivera
3) Dark Angel, Diana La Cazdora, Luna Magica DQ Amapola, Poly Star, Princesa Sujei
4) Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone DQ Averno, Mephisto, Sangre Azteca
5) Místico, Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero b Damián 666, Halloween, Misterioso II

Misterioso II logically replaced Mr. Aguila – I don’t know why CMLL thought Aguila could work both this and Cinco Magnificos show – and Sangre fouled Blue Panther in the semimain. That’d be a fun feud, I wonder if Panther is still a middleweight.

VIP (SAT) 06/09 Roots Magic Club [Alvin @ el Martinete]
1) Cerebro Negro & Dr. Cerebro b Skayde & Turbo
2) Nino X, Super Muenco Jr., Super Nino b Black Heart, La Furia, La Mosca
3) Negro Navarro b Mano Negra and Ojo de Tigre I and Black Terry and El Dandy
4) Axxel, Leon Guerrero, VIP Negro b Coco Rojo, El Hijo de Cien Caras, Máscara Año 2000 Jr.
5) Brazo de Platino, Negro Casas, Super Brazo b Il Barone, LA Park, Olímpico

Negro Navarro wins the 1st stage of the maestro tournament VIP is running. Black Terry was the runner up, which earns him another shot in the five man battle on the next show.

AAA (SUN) 06/10 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]
1) Euforia (Monterrey) & Mercurio b Panterita del Ring II & Rey Imagen
2) Mascarita Sagrada, Miss Janeth, Picudo b La Hechicera, Mini Histeria, Mosco de la Merced II

indy (THU) 06/14 Arena Olimpico Laguna de Gomez Palacio [Siglo de Torreon]

2) Centella Azul Jr. & Tigre Chong vs Moro Jr. & Pequeno Star

4) Sexy Piscis & Trueno vs Espanto V & Piloto Negro

That’s CMLL’s Trueno working the weekly AOL show.

(Box Y Lucha Foro) Danger says it was not him who video taped unmasked luchadores backstage with a cell phone. What he really needs right now is someone else to say it wasn’t him.

Magazine
* LUCHAS 2000 #372 has Espectro Jr. deciding if he’ll put up his mask and Mistico winning the LdP.
* Super Luchas #216 has Mistico winning the LdP. Inside, in the last notes column, the magazine notes that AAA isn’t (and shouldn’t) be happy about lineups being leaked. This includes the TripleMania one, which we’re still not sure of – everyone’s only using the original thread as source. I’m thinking the lineup is what AAA has down on paper, but they might not have all the foreign names confirmed at this point.

El Zocalo de Monclova has an interview with (masked) Mascara Ano 2000 and Universo 2000. Things have never been as good as the first couple years of the 90s when Cien had his mask match with Rayo and Mascara beat Anibal for his mask; it’s never like the old days. If this blog goes 50 years (and it won’t), I vow to just write cranky posts about The Old Times Were Better. Universo says he’s talking to two guys about possibly carrying on his name (it has to be two with this crew) – his daughters have no interest in lucha libre and he wouldn’t let them get in the business anyway.

There was also a press conference in Monclova before the first CMLL show there in some time, but the paper doesn’t appear to have results.

El Sol de Tlaxcala has an interview with indy wrestler Astro Aereo. He says he’s been wrestling for 10 years, trained by Tarahumara and is hoping to break into Arena Puebla.

Amapola vs Diana in a hair match on 06/11

I decided to spin this digression off to it’s own post. Henrik and Robert can thank me later.

CMLL (SUN) 06/10 Arena Coliseo [ova]
3) Dark Angel, Diana La Cazdora, Luna Magica DQ Amapola, Poly Star, Princesa Sujei

Tecnicas won the first fall, beat Amapola in the second fall, and Amapola came back in for the DQ. Last week, Diana beat Amapola with (a horrible ‘rana and) her hand grabbing the bottom rope. Somehow, this leads to a hair match. I have a small glimmer of hope Amapola might pull this one out, just because she has yet to actually win a match in this feud (even when she got a pinfall last week in the first fall, it was on Apache, not Diana), but it’s just a glimmer.

Check out how things have been going for the rudas lately

04/17: Amapola, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda b Luna Magica, Marcela, Sahori – Tuesday show, didn’t air!

05/13: Lady Apache, Luna Magica, Marcela b Amapola, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda
05/18: Dark Angel, Diana La Cazdora, Marcela b Hiroka, Mima Shimoda, Princesa Sujei
05/27: Amapola, Medussa, Rosa Negra b Diana La Cazdora, Luna Magica, Marcela – did not air?
06/03: Dark Angel, Diana La Cazdora, Lady Apache b Amapola, Medussa, Princesa Sujei
06/10: Dark Angel, Diana La Cazdora, Luna Magica DQ Amapola, Poly Star, Princesa Sujei

Rudas are 2-7-1 in the last 10, and no wins on TV since mid April. The May 27th match must’ve set up the Amapola/Diana feud, but never having actually seen Amapola win the match (surely via grabbing the ropes), it’s been awful one sided.

Anyway, Diana/Amapola for their hair on Sunday at Arena Mexico hasn’t yet been officially announced on CMLL’s site, but Ovaciones reports it and Alexis mentioned on Box Y Lucha last night, so it’s on. I hope Amapola doesn’t run to the back before she lets anyone see her bald head because that might kinda be why we’re doing this.

Update: CMLL.com’s posted an update confirming.
