An experiment! Rather than all the Friday night “trying to listen to the radio feed (if it’s working)” and Saturday morning “results/lineups” ending up on my FSE recap below, this post is for any misc comments until Saturday morning’s news posts. If I can grab on to some wireless internet at the GALLI show, I may turn up in the comments.
Day: February 22, 2008
CMLL FSE #78
If Ultimo Guerrero is now Satanico, and Averno is now Ultimo Guerrero, I think that means Sangre Azteca is now Averno. I haven’t figured out who’s the young Sangre Azteca yet; I figure Euforia’s more Rencor Latino at this point.
These shows could really use an feud of some kind.
02/22: Pequeno Damian retains the title (but gets in more danger), Mexico preview
(Reforma/Jazzo) Mini Damian retained his minis title over Mini Pierroth in Arena Neza last night. Pierrothitho had Damian pinned for three, but Halloween interrupted the count. Violencia jumped on the apron to argue, the ref busied himself with the wrong man, and Halloween snuck in and reversed the pin for the win. The two teams agreed to a mask/hair vs hair/hair match next week.
Tonight’s show
CMLL (FRI) 02/22 Arena Mexico
1) Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II vs Artillero & Súper Comando
2) Mascarita Dorada, Shockercito, Tzuki vs Mr. Aguilita, Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Violencia
3) Alex Koslov, Máximo, Negro Casas vs Lizmark Jr., Misterioso II, Universo 2000
4) Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero vs Blue Panther, Dr. Wagner Jr., Valiente
5) Héctor Garza, La Sombra, Volador Jr. vs Averno, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mephisto
Besides the usual preview, Ovaciones covers Hijo de Pierroth’s name change to Pierko el Boricua (which has made many of the magazines this week.) Once again, he talks highly of Pierroth and hopes he gets well soon.
The focus is on Hector Garza’s return to the tecnico side. It’s been a very long time since he’s been one in CMLL. Dr. Wagner Jr. returns to face the Guerreros. Would you believe it’s only the third time they’ve done that opener in Arena Mexico? (Teams are tied 1-1.)
In ESTO, Hector Garza is unsure if the fans or his partners will accept him as a tecnico. He’ll be partially relieved if he picks up Reforma, where Volador and Sombra are willing to forget all Garza did on the rudo side.
Heavy Metal plans to have a Lucha Libre/Rock Concert to celebrate his 20th anniversary of wrestling, but he has no idea when he’s going to do it. ESTO also has a preview of tomorrow’s AAA taping in Minatitlan and writes about NWA Mexico, but there’s nothing new in either one.
CMLL (MON) 02/25 Arena Puebla
1) Toro Bill & Toro Bill Jr. vs Aguila Guerrera & Fuerza Chicana
2) Black Tiger (Puebla), King Jaguar, Lestat vs Kraken, Siki Osama Jr., Veneno
3) Astro Boy, Máximo, Stuka Jr. vs Diamante Negro, Euforia, Nosferatu
4) Alex Koslov, Blue Panther, Volador Jr. vs Texano Jr., Villano IV, Villano V
5) Averno, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mephisto vs Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero
Mr. Reyes posted photso from last night’s IWRG show.
Madero area wrestler Oro Negro nearly fell on his head at a match. Pictures of the aftermath look scary, but they found no break in the neck or spine.
Terrible says he celebrates his 10th anniversary of wrestling today. Wiki has him as 13 – typo?
Got my first DailyMotion takedown notice today! Mistico/Wagner Part 1 (posted 7 months ago) is no longer available, but part 2 still seems to be up. Maybe there was an ad left in and a (new) automatic filter caught it? Quite odd.
I believe I will be making it to the GALLI show tonight after all. If you’re going to the Glendale Heights show, say hi.

Given the lack of depth in tecnicas, I’m all for giving Goddess some more chances. Sadly, this was not the best of debuts. If she gets any better, she still might be the third best healthy tecnica they’ve got. Goddess has to get new gear first; it doesn’t matter if she was wearing it before Sexi Star, it’s not a good idea to present yourself as a clone.
I liked this week’s rudo disintegration better than last week’s. Would not have guessed there’d be so many dives in the match, and none by Mistico (during the match.)
