I missed this like a week ago: Alfredo topped all of us and posted a 2007 LuchaWorld Top 100. I’d have 79 higher.
CMLL (MON) 01/28 Arena Puebla [hugo999]
1) Mr. Rafaga, Toro Bill, Toro Bill Jr. b Forajido, King Jaguar, SWAT
2) Centella de Oro, the Tiger, Tigre Rojo b Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Policeman
3) Loco Max, Nitro, Skandalo b Ángel Azteca Jr., Flash, Stuka Jr.
4) Blue Panther, Heavy Metal, Negro Casas b Atlantis, Sangre Azteca, Último Guerrero
5) Averno b Místico [NWA MIDDLE]
CLEAN WIN FOR AVERNO OVER MISTICO. That’s crazy. Averno’s winning this far too often (read: at all) for something not to be set for the future. Should we assume this the probable 75th Anniversary Show main event?
Tecnicos won the semimain in straight falls, and Blue Panther challenges Atlantis to a title match next week.
Building might have not been completely full, but there were ticket scalpers doing good business.
CMLL (TUE) 01/29 Arena Mexico [cmll, Reforma via Jazzo]
1) Artillero & Súper Comando b Super Camaleon & Super Tri
2) Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Nitro b Molotov, Starman, Trueno
3) Diamante Negro, Ohara, Shigeo Okumura b Fabián el Gitano, Leono, Super Nova
4) Alex Koslov, Sagrado, Valiente b Misterioso II, Olímpico, Sangre Azteca
5) Marco Corelone, Negro Casas, Último Dragón b Damián 666, Mr. Águila, Texano Jr.
REBELDES WIN! They’ve adjusted it to Rebeldes Tuareg, which explains the headdress. They’re nomadic people, in search of oasis of wins and big matches in the far reaching CMLL midcard desert.
Rudos could’ve won the semimain in straight falls, but got DQed for beating up Valiente too much in the second fall and then choked it way in the third. I hope we’re setting up someone getting a shot at Sangre’s title. Sangre Azteca should just defend his title every fourth Tuesday, as long as they have TV.
Remember back in December, when Villano III worked the IWRG El Hijo del Santo show as a fill-in? CMLL’s policy had been to ban those who worked show that Santo worked, as part of their freeze out on him, and this almost meant the end of Loco Max back when the policy started. At the time of this show, I figured V3 would get a pass – he’s a vet, it was a fill-in, it was partly a tribute to IWRG’s recently passed away founder. However, Villano 3 hasn’t appeared in CMLL since, and he told Reforma (via Jazzo) that he believe’s he’s not being booked because he worked that show with Santo. V3 claims he asked for and received permission to work the show, but CMLL’s stopped talking with him. CMLL doensn’t seem to like to tell people they’re in trouble, they just cut those people out of the loop.
In other departures, Box Y Lucha #2855 notes Emilio Charles Jr. has left CMLL. He hasn’t been used in DF since losing his hair to Mascara Purpura. He was working Guadalajara late last year, but this is no big surprise.
AAA (TUE) 01/29 Arena Juba de Reynosa [Mario Loera @ Lo Mejor de Lucha]
1) Guerrero del Camino b Comando
2) Bufalo & Luminoso b Rocker Boy & Sangre Leon
3) Corazón de Barrio, Rey Patriota, Vaquero (Juba) b Dakota, Imagen I, Imagen II
4) Mascarita Sagrada & Octagoncito b Mini Abismo Negro & Mini Histeria
5) Antifaz del Norte b El Elegido
CMLL (SUN) 02/03 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Quazar vs Milenio
2) Golden & Lider vs Asesino Negro & Destroyer
3) Idolo & Nube Roja vs Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno
4) La Máscara & Máximo vs Angel Blanco Jr. & Sangre Azteca
5) Ebola vs Exterminador [hair]
6) Grey Shadow, Marco Corelone, Sagrado vs Averno, Olímpico, Último Guerrero
They’re putting him on the road immediately. Hope he has a good show.
MedioTiempo has not much new about the last AAA TV Taping, except they’re building an Juvi/X-Pac feud. That’s not quite as cool as I hoped, but the picture of the Legion celebrating over Halloween’s corpse is fantastic.
(El Dentista) There’s a new lucha commission in Tampico.
