Month: February 2008

More press conference details
– ESTO says CMLL actually announced only a normal one on one match between Garza and Perro, but Garza insisted on making a hair match and Perro had no chance but to accept.
– Axel (mispelling or trademarked?) said he’d be off for two weeks after his first appearance, due to a previously scheduled tour of South America. His second show will be on 04/25 and he plans to be a regular. Axel says his grandfather (Santo) and father-in-law (Huracan Ramirez) would be very happy for him, and “justice is being done.” Reforma takes a pro-Hijo del Santo viewpoint, asking Axxel if he’s only here because of the CMLL/Hijo del Santo problems and questioning Axel’s skills. Guess we’ll find out.
– All the articles are under the impression there’s a Mistico/Wagner match on the undercard, but that’d be too much for one show.

As for tonight

CMLL (FRI) 02/29 Arena Mexico
1) Calígula & Méssala vs Molotov & Starman
2) Fabián el Gitano, Flash, Super Nova vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Nitro
3) Felino, Máximo, Valiente vs Ephesto, Euforia, Nosferatu
4) Grey Shadow, La Sombra, Negro Casas vs Atlantis, Sangre Azteca, Último Guerrero
5) Héctor Garza, Marco Corelone, Mistico vs Averno, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mephisto

Garza says he’s spoken to Marco and knows he can trust him, but isn’t sure if he and Mistico can work together. Mistico says he’s got better things to do than turn on Garza (like teaming with his high flying friends; Super Nova not included in this list.)

I hope Ephesto didn’t join the Nuevo Infernales.

1) Guerrero Inca b Bacteria

Ramstein fouled a Tapatio for the win. Clean finish in the women’s match. Ultimo yanked Wagner’s mask while Mistico got la Mistica on Olimpico for the main event win.

More later.

5) Averno, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mephisto b Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero

Rudo sweep! A fine day for evil, even if they had two rudo vs rudo matches. Perro snuck in a foul on Atlantis in the main event, and a Villano pinned Volador after stealing his mask. Next week’s main event is Mistico, Hector and Grey Shadow vs Perro, Averno, Mephisto.

This card is changed, due to Guerrero Inca and Angel de Oro returning from working shows in Guadalajara and Naucalpan. (So posting this article is more to confirm they’re the same guys.)

Not sure if the minis match will end up with anything on the line. I bet one of those unfilled spots turns out to be Metalico.

1) ?, Alex Koslov, Marco Corelone, Último Dragón vs Atlantis, Lizmark Jr., Olímpico, Último Guerrero

Poster doesn’t mention anything but the main event (and even that’s not so clear.) This is a noon show, before the usual Sunday Coliseo show. Haven’t turned up any more info on it.

No AAA talent?

There’s a “Pierroth II” working Arena Naucalpan this week (and last Sunday, I think.) SuperLuchas contacted Pierko el Boricua (former Hijo de Pierroth), who says Pierroth II is not him. Pierroth Jr. has gone back to X-Fly. Either this is the guy using Pierroth II (who’s also supposed to have dropped the name) or Pierroth has already started selling his name again.

Ovaciones has an interview with Ultimo Gladiador, who’s happy to finally get a chance in a big company. Gerado Camos Pozas says he worked as Mega in IWRG; I thought that was someone else.

(Reforma/Jazzo) Astro Boy is thrilled to be mentioned as a possible member of Mistico’s yet-to-be-offical group, because he’s being grouped in guys like La Mascara, Sombra and Volador Jr. who work main event matches and he (and Super Nova) are being recognized while still in the lower levels. Mistico coming up with “Reyes de Aires” for the name must’ve required a good 10 seconds of thought.

El Hijo del Santo went to a Bob Dylan concert. Dylan’s apparently a Santo fan, so Hijo game him a mask and some of the movies.

Luchas Especial #28 is their second volume of famous mask losses.

Super Amigos airs as part of the Salem Film Fest on Sunday.

(extra stuff I keep forgetting to post)

DELGADO (SUN) 02/24 El Paso, TX [albert cerda]
1) Reo (El Paso) b Huniko
2) el Illegal & Punisher b Franky Olmos & Reo (El Paso)
3) Epidemia, Galactico, Rey Guerrero b Nacho Libre, Serpiente Blanco, Skybird
4) Rey Escorpion b NASCAR [DELGADO CHAMP]
5) Cobrade Sr., Imposter, Mystico DQ Hurrican Hector, La Migra, Massive

300 in attendance. Dr. Wagner will wrestle for this group on 03/16.

(prowrestling.net) Mesias is finished with TNA for the time being. This is what we figured from the outset, Mesias was always supposed to be back in March, but he was looking for a longer team deal with TNA which would let him work AAA shows (or pay him enough where he didn’t have to work with AAA shows.) I’d think he’ll turn up before Rey de Reyes, so they can sell the main event match.

The linked article says Mesias can make $100,000 in AAA. That’s on the low side of a WWE deal, and higher than what TNA is paying. (Thanks to Mikeinformer)

Box Y Lucha posted an interview with Emilio Charles Jr. (who wants it clear that he’s still wrestling, just not in CMLL) and video from an interview with Rambo, Rambo Jr. and Hijo del Faraon.

Super Luchas #252 has Cena, Silver King, Nakamura, and Hector Garza.

Apparently it’s Psicosis II, not Nicho, who’s promoting for AAA in Tijuana. I still could swear I read something about Nicho and AAA in SuperLuchas, but I’ve looked back and haven’t found it. Sorry about that.

CMLL (TUE) 02/26 Arena Mexico [cmll, ovaciones]
1) Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II b Sakura & Yidra
2) Astro Boy, Metálico, Tony Rivera b Pólvora, Súper Comando, Vaquero

4) Alex Koslov, La Sombra, Máscara Púrpura b Ephesto, Misterioso II, Virus
5) el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mr. Águila, Terrible b Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero

Aguila faked a foul from Rey in the first fall, then pinned Rey in the second. Aguila wants a title match nex week, and that sounds like fun. Ovaciones says the semimain was the best match.

CMLL (TUE) 02/26 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Thunder Boy b Milenio
2) Idolo b Danger (Guadalajara)
3) Silueta b Atena
4) Casanova b Super Maquina
5) Destroyer (Guadalajara) b Lider
6) Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno b Magnum & Súper Nova
7) Damián 666, Euforia, Texano Jr. b Dos Caras Jr., Héctor Garza, Último Dragón

Texano snuck in a foul on Hector Garza for the win. Truenos pulled a mask switch to win the semimain. Destroyer hit Lider with a guitar to pin him. (Lots of ref bumps last night.) Atena was stretchered out after her match.

CMLL (SUN) 03/02 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Golden & Thunder Boy vs Milenio & Valentin Mayo
2) Idolo & Virgo vs Guero Loco & Impostor
