Day: November 28, 2007

DELGADO (SUN) 11/25 El Paso, TX
1) Green Danger & Rey America b Atomo (El Paso) & Peluchin II
2) Baby Solis & Titanik b Bestia II & Rey Guerrero
3) NASCAR b Galactico, Bestia Jr.
4) Epidemia & Hurricane Hector b Imposter Jr. & Magno

Santo’s now coming in for their 12/09 show, teaming with Incognito versus Cobrade and Cobarde Jr.

Ovaciones has a complete lineup for Todos x Todos. It’s pretty much consistent with what’s been listed, but just to get in the database:

CMB (SAT) 12/08 Toreo de Cuatro Caminos
1) Octagoncito & Voladorcito vs Espectrito I & Pentagoncito
2) Lola Gonzalez vs Xochitl Hamada [UWA WOMEN]
3) Blue Demon Jr. & El Hijo Del Santo vs El Fantasma & Mil Mascaras and el Hijo Del Anibal & El Hijo del Solitario and Pentagon Black & Super Muneco and Dos Caras Sr. & Tinieblas Sr. and Fishman Jr. & Máscara Sagrada and Hijo del Cien Caras & Rayo de Jalisco Jr. [toreno, losers advance]
4) ? vs ?? [mask]

Negro Navarro and Mano Negra will be referees for the show. Maybe better than random indy referees.

Lola Gonzalez isn’t the last known UWA Women’s Champion – that’d be Miss Janeth and we haven’t seen the belt in quite a while – but Lola was a four time champ so I’m sure this is just an old version of the belt they’ll use here.

Which Octagoncito is in AAA, and which one is here? I know they’re not the same ones.

They’re really short one match that should be good->great in quality. I’m sure they could round up Incognito and various miscellaneous young talented guys who would work very cheap to be part of a show that’s going to get this much attention.

Ovaciones also has an interview with Halloween. Halloween wants it clear he’s not saying he’s the best extreme fighter – he’s third or fourth, and Damian is #1. Of actual news value, the article mentions the four way tag team title match is also a US style ladder match, with the belts hanging from the ceiling and such. It’d be nice if they explained this concept on TV before hand, but they’ll probably just assume all the casual fans will have been watching the same matches they have. Ovaciones lineup still has Jack Evans in it, though it should be Sabu in his spot by now.

El Hijo de Santo made his appearance at the Hidalgo Communication Expo.

CMLL (TUE) 11/27 Arena Mexico [CMLL, Super Luchas, ocioso @ box y lucha]
1) Pólvora & Vaquero b Kid Tiger & Sensei
2) Arkangel de la Muerte, Dr. X, Hooligan b Astro Boy, Neutrón, Super Nova
3) Euforia, Nosferatu, Okumura b Leono, Metálico, Stuka Jr.
4) Ephesto, Mephisto, Sangre Azteca b Felino, Heavy Metal, Valiente
5) La Sombra b Ohara [NWA WELTER]
6) Blue Panther & Negro Casas b Atlantis & Último Guerrero

Sombra is the 55th champion, and a two title champion. Super Luchas reports the match as going nearly 19 minutes. This is the FOURTH CMLL title change this month, in just 25 days.

When this championship was brought back in 2006, it seemed to be for the same general purpose it was used since the J-Crown was brought back: “singles belt for Ultimo Dragon led promotion.” The welterweight belt was used by the Toryumon promotion before the schism that led to Dragon Gate, and it figured that Ohara would bring the belt back to El Dorado or whatever promotion Ultimo Dragon ended up getting involved with. Now that Sombra’s won the title, this could be going in a number of directions

1) Sombra’s going to Japan with Ohara so Ohara can get a title win there
2) Dragon’s given/sold the belt back to CMLL
3) This is part of a long term fued, where Sombra will end up losing the title while in Mexico (but win Ohara’s hair or something)

I think that’s pretty much the order of possiblities as well. Meanwhile, Sombra continues turning into Mistico II

                            Mistico         Sombra
plucky undersized tecnico     yes             yes
mask                      silver/white   silver/black
high flyer                    yes             yes
fights Averno a lot           yes             yes
multiple titles               yes             yes
NWA title                     yes             yes
pointless IWRG title          yes             no!

How long could it take for IWRG to make a, I dunno, IWRG Super Lightweight Championship? Someone needs to get this done.

In Other Action, that’s the tag team champions going down in a non-title match. We’re just waiting to find out which show gets the title match. Mephisto slipped in a low blow on Heavy Metal. Mehisto is doing a lot of that lately. Okumura filled in for Skandalo. Nova was helped to the back after his match, due the Pandilla killing him with powerbombs.
