12/10: Wagner back in Arena Mexico, Merida, Magazines

CMLL (SAT) 12/08 Unidad Deportiva Agustin Millan [El Sol de Toluca]
1) Pink Floy & Silver Boy L Estuendo & Principe Mexiquense and Destroyer & Emperador and Gemelo Fantasma I & Gemelo Fantasma II and Bengala & Damian el Inmortal and Black Demon & Flecha and Monje Loco I & Monje Loco II and King Fly & Mascara de Oro Y Plata [rulete de la muerte, mask]
2) Amapola b Luna Magica [CMLL WOMEN]
3) La Sombra, Sagrado, Valiente DQ Mephisto, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca
4) Dr. Wagner, Rey Bucanero, Shocker b Atlantis, Averno, Black Warrior

The two losers of the mask tournament, Pink Floy & Silver Boy, are Servando Uriel Marin (Hidalgo, 3 years) and Mario Martinez (5 years in the business.)

Wagner replaced Mistico for this shows (and perhaps some of the others.) That’s the big CMLL development of the weekend – with Mistico out, and Perro perhaps out with a knee injury (see below), Dr. Wagner returns to Arena Mexico this Friday. The top two matches will now be

4) Dr. Wagner Jr., Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone vs Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Hijo de Lizmark.
5) La Park, Shocker, Negro Casas vs Hector Garza, Mr. Aguila, Terrible
I may have the order flipped; it’s a double main event situation.

CMLL (SUN) 12/09 Arena Mexico
1) Astro Boy & Kid Tiger b Súper Comando & Zayco
2) Metálico, Tigre Blanco, Tony Rivera b Apocalipsis, Hooligan, Ramstein
3) Dr. X, Loco Max, Skandalo b Leono, Stuka Jr., Super Nova
4) La Máscara, La Sombra, Valiente DQ Averno, Olímpico, Trueno
5) Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone, Volador Jr. b Texano Jr., Universo 2000, Villano IV

Tecncio sweep! A sad day for evil.

Universo was possibly supposed to take Toscano’s place in the semifinal, but Perro Jr. was out hurt for this show as well (he may have aggravated a knee injury on Friday), so Universo got bumped up to his spot and Trueno worked as a rudo for one night only. The semifinal ended with Avenro fouling Mascara, and they may be going somewhere with that.

CMLL PYCV (SUN) 12/09 Poliforum Zamna de Merida [YUCACOOL @ el martinete]
1) Chupacabras, Rebelde Punk, Tigre Pardo b Amenaza Roja, Gato Nocturno, Guerrero Galactico
2) Halcon Rojo, Halcon Rojo Jr., Lobo Salvaje b Espartano I, Proverbio, Sombra Azul Jr.
3) Bello Adrian, Johny Reyna, La Chona DQ Coco Colores, Coco Rojo, Coco Verde
4) Fabián el Gitano & Flash b Euforia & Nosferatu
5) Blue Demon Jr. & Rey Bucanero b Dr. Wagner Jr. & Felino

Felino replaced Mistico, and they switched people around a little bit in the main event. I like Felino, but I sure hope they were offering refunds. It wouldn’t be much trouble – looking at those pictures, there weren’t many who showed up anyway.

DELGADO (SUN) 12/09 El Paso, TX
1) Peluchin 1 & Peluchin 2 b Rey Halcon & Tiger Man
2) Bestia I & Bestia II b Nacho Libre & Punisher
3) Magno, Nascar, Vaquero b Galactico, Rey Escorpion, Rey Guerrero
4) Impostor Jr. b Epidemia [mask]
5) El Hijo Del Santo & Incógnito b Cobarde & Cobarde Jr.

Various luchadors, mostly AAA, turned up on TV as part of the Teleton. El Hijo del Santo appeared to donate a mask for auction. Super AAAA, Aero Star, Intocable and someone who’s listed as “Metalico” (that can’t be right, but I can’t figure out who it was) did a Make A Wish sort of thing, and they showed the three way tag match from Toluca, I think. Abismo Negro also appeared on the show.

TheRanger.org writes about lucha libre in San Antonio. Usual intro to lucha libre piece, but $4 tickets sounds awesome.

Magazines:
– Box Y Luchas #2848 has 2 covers – Pentagon Black unmasked and bald Bucanero and Warrior
– Super Luchas #242 has Santo victorious and Bucanero and Warrior. Not sure if you can tell on these pictures, but Warrior now has a black tooth with a white star on it. It’s quite something.
