02/09: Mexico, CMLL’s next major show, Rey de Reyes, lineups, GdR

Reforma says the first major show of the CMLL year, Homenaje a Dos Leyendas, will take place on 03/21. They’re honoring Lutteroth and Black Shadow again this year.

CMLL (FRI) 02/08 Arena Mexico [ovaciones, superluchas, Reforma, Notimex, ESTO]
1) Apocalipsis & Ramstein b Ángel Azteca Jr. & Sombra de Plata
2) Dark Angel, Goddess, Marcela b Amapola, Hiroka, Rosa Negra
3) La Máscara, Sagrado, Último Dragón b Diamante Negro, Ephesto, Virus
4) Blue Panther, Grey Shadow, La Sombra b Black Warrior, Olímpico, Sangre Azteca
5) Averno, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Héctor Garza, Mephisto b Atlantis, Lizmark Jr., Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero

Perro, Averno, and Mephisto turned on Hector Garza, after he and Perro accidentally kicked each other thru the second falls. (Irrelevant WWA Tag Titles already? That’s a new record.) Perros still managed to win the main event in two falls, then beat up Hector so he was strechered out. It’s not clear if Hector is going tecnico or if Perro’s just splitting the group.

Not a lot to say about the rest of the show. Attendence was down, which shouldn’t be a surprise.

Arturo Rivera‘s column mentions Mesias’ return in March.

CMLL (TUE) 02/12 Arena Mexico
1) Sombra de Plata & Trueno vs Angel Perverso & Ciber Black
2) Godess, Luna Mágica, Sahori vs Amapola, La Seductora, Rosa Negra
3) Fabián el Gitano, Mictlán, Stuka Jr. vs Euforia, Nosferatu, Satánico
4) La Máscara, Mictlán, Valiente vs Ephesto, Misterioso II, Virus
5) Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Shocker vs Damián 666, Mr. Águila, Terrible

This is Sahori’s return from knee surgery.

CMLL (FRI) 02/15 Arena Mexico
1) Astro Boy & Metálico vs Pólvora & Vaquero
2) Bam Bam, Pequeño Olímpico, Último Dragoncito vs Pequeño Black Warrior, Pequeño Violencia, Pierrothito
3) Heavy Metal, Máximo, Sagrado vs Misterioso II, Shigeo Okumura, Virus
4) Alex Koslov, La Sombra, Marco Corelone vs Damián 666, Héctor Garza, Terrible
5) Grey Shadow, Místico, Volador Jr. vs Averno, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mephisto

Hector teams with the other Perros, so we’ll see what the deal is. I don’t think they could be pushing Grey Shadow much harder.

CMLL.com mentions they’re going to start doing tours of the city for people coming to Mexico City on vacation.

LA Park explains to Reforma that’s he’s not a jerk, it’s everyone in wresting who’s a jerk and that’s why he’s not friends with any of them. He only cares about his wife, his children, and his credit card.

AAA’s Dos De Tres magazine features Abismo Negro on the cover. Marco Rivera says AAA’s confirmed Scott Steiner and Teddy Hart to return for Rey de Reyes and have talked to Booker T and Kevin Nash. The Wrestling Observer mentioned they talked to RVD as well, but Van Dam wrestling seems incredibly unlikely considering his recent comments. Eddie Guerrero will go into the AAA Hall Of Fame. I can already tell I hate the tournament this year, that’s a bit annoying.
