CMLL.com says Villano IV had undergone knee surgery, following his injury (at the hands of the Guerreros, we’ll say) last Friday. No mention of how long he’s expected out, just that III and V want the Guerreros dead. I’d assume this means we’re not getting any mask match from this feud in June.
CMLL (TUE) 06/12 Arena Queretaro [Knotty @ el martinete]
1) Eragon b Estrella Dorada
2) Ozuno & Sarna b Drabek II & Sindrome
3) Espiritu Negro & Okumura b Principe Valiente Jr. & Ursus
4) Alex Koslov & Brazo de Oro b Efesto & Sangre Azteca
5) Atlantis & Olimpico b Dr. Wagner Jr. & Heavy Metal
If I’m reading the recap right, Alex Koslov challenged Sangre Azteca to a title shot after the match. Unless I’m mistaken, Alex Koslov is not actually Mexican, so we’ll see if the local commission allows a non-Mexican challenge for the Mexican National Welterweight title. (They did allow Dark Angel to do something similar, so it’ll probably slip by.) Atlantis pulled Wagner’s mask in the main event.
CMLL (TUE) 06/12 Arena Coliseo [CMLL]
1) Mini Damian 666 & Mini Violencia b Mini Olimpico & Ultimo Dragoncito
2) Sombra de Plata, Tigre Blanco, Tony Rivera b Apocalipsis, Hooligan, Ramstein
3) Lady Apache, Luna Magica, Princesa Blanca b Hiroka, La Nazi, Mima Shimoda
4) Felino, Leono, Volador Jr. b Eclipse, Misterioso II, Virus
5) Dos Caras Jr., Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero b Averno, Ultimo Guerrero, Universo 2000
Black Warrior is still MIA – Averno moved up to the main event in his spot, and Virus took Averno’s place in the semimain. In the tercera, the tecnicas won (again) when La Nazi randomly turned on Hiroka. No idea.
Ovaciones has an interview with El Santo, who’s going to Spain for a couple weeks at the end of the month (with Scorpio Jr.) Santo talks about how he’s so much better not being on TV, because people can’t see him as much so they want to see him more. This is what you say when you’re not on TV.
the gladiatores (SUN) 06/17 Arena Lopez Mateos
1) Comodin Jr. & Rey Dragon vs Halcon Diabolico I & Halcon Diabolico II
2) Kilvan vs Yakuza
3) Dark Gladiator, Devastacion, Rocket vs Arkar, Exterminio, Mr. Stop
4) Bacteria, Gamos el Centauro, Okara vs Hermano Muerte II, Hermano Muerte III, Vocan Negro
5) Rocky Santana & Valiente vs Rey Krimen & Sadico
6) Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro, Suicida vs Kripta, Lapida, Sepulcro
This is a one year anniversary show for thegladiatores.com. They’re celebrating one year with a lucha libre show! I’m lucky if I remember it’s been an anniversary. Totally otra nivel. (It may also be the weekly AULL show, but that’s not as good a story.)
Super Astro’s been on AAA TV wearing his mask, which he lost a number of years ago. Eventually, he was going to run into a commission that’d be upset with that – it appears he’s using the name Meteorito (box y lucha) in those cases, but wearing the same mask. You can remask after a number of years, though typically it’s with a new gimmick. Astro’s worn his mask in Tijuana before joining AAA, claiming he was never paid what he was promised when he lost his mask, so he’s got the right to keep it on.
PAN (SUN) 06/17 Colonia del Valle, Mexico City [El Universal via el Halcon]
1) Alex Koslov, Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero vs Atlantis, Blue Demon Jr., Ultimo Guerrero
Lucha libre show as a political party rally, always great.
Alex Marvez has interview with Konnan. More about his health, little about AAA.
