4) Flash, Leono, Stuka Jr. b Hooligan, Loco Max, Nitro
5) Felino, Shocker, Valiente b Black Warrior, Olímpico, Sangre Azteca

Hooligan replaced Arkangel. Shockercito and Warrior were challenging each other into a mask match.

CMLL (SUN) 03/30 Arena Coliseo [ova]
1) Sensei & Sombra de Plata b Carrona & Cholo
2) Dr. X, Hooligan, Loco Max b Ángel Azteca Jr., Astro Boy, Neutrón

4) Alex Koslov, La Máscara, La Sombra b Misterioso II, Olímpico, Virus
5) Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., LA Park DQ Villano III, Villano IV, Villano V

Tecnicos won the main event in two falls. Villanos could have won the second fall but preferred to rip Panther’s mask to shreds. Panther ended up hurt as well. Still don’t believe this is going anywhere until a match is announced. Hooligan replaced Nitro in the segunda.

CMLL (SUN) 03/30 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [MT]
5) Mascarita Dorada & Tzuki b Pequeño Damian 666 & Pierrothito

Mephisto got away with a foul on Sagrado.

3) Dark Angel & Goddess vs Hiroka & Mima Shimoda
4) La Sombra, Sagrado, Volador Jr. vs Atlantis, Misterioso II, Olímpico [MEX TRIOS]

I think Misterioso went 0 for 2 in title shots this week.

AAA (MON) 03/31 Arena Cuatro Caminos Nuevo Laredo [RFC]
1) Decnnis, Scorpio Jr., Zumbido vs Hombre Sin Miedo, Laredo Kid, Sangre Chicana
2) Brazo de Plata, La Parka Jr., Octagón vs Antifaz del Norte, Mr. Niebla, Psicosis II

El Morro Cotudo writes about a indy wrestling promotion in Northern Chile

3 armed robbers nicknamed “WWF Shotgun bandits” in Orange County, CA sure seemed to have lucha masks on. Lucha masks with Houston Texans logos on them, but still. (thanks to mike informer)

Today’s Ovaciones update has a completely random “Dr. Wagner may be going to WWE, but Super Porky thought he was signing for three years until the contract was pulled” newsbit. I have heard no other suggestions of Wagner going to WWE so I would not take it as meaning much.

I expect such wackiness from Arturo Rivera. His weekend column complains about WWE advertising Rey Misterio Jr. and only revealing he’d be out of action for the Mexico tour after first day tickets went on sale. Arturo also says Mr. Condor ended up in the hospital after stepping thru a false floor (and landing on the level below, I guess.)

CMLL (SUN) 04/06 Arena Coliseo
1) Sensei & Trueno vs Méssala & Pólvora
2) Atomo, Pequeño Olímpico, Último Dragoncito vs Pequeño Black Warrior, Pequeño Violencia, Pierrothito
3) Dark Angel, Goddess, Marcela vs Amapola, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda
4) Grey Shadow, Máximo, Valiente vs Mr. Águila, Terrible, Texano Jr.
5) Dos Caras Jr., Místico, Shocker vs Atlantis, Toscano, Último Guerrero

Look who’s back! Yay for Toscano getting paid.

AAA’s news column says Pimpinela and Cassandro are starting “Las Divas del Ring” to combat the Night Queens.

Accion’s CMLL highlights were of the main event. Almost all dives except for the finihs. Dos seemed to hurt his right arm on his accidental tope of Mistico. AAA had the Rey de Reyes. Niebla and Abismo weren’t shown brawling away, but Abismo did take out Niebla (and the announce desk) with a dive. Zorro’s partners were unbelivably happy about Zorro winning.

Oh, by the way:

CMLL FSE Guerreros del Ring #85
03/09 Coliseo: Fire, Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Halloween b Bracito de Oro, Pequeño Olímpico, Tzuki
03/09 Coliseo: Amapola b Dark Angel [CMLL WOMEN]

(so I’m going to have post both matches, huh)

CMLL (FRI) 03/28 Arena Mexico [ova, ESTO, SuperLuchas]
1) Pequeño Damian 666 & Pequeño Halloween b Mini Olimpico & Último Dragoncito
2) Dark Angel, Goddess, Luna Mágica b Hiroka, Mima Shimoda, Rosa Negra
3) Ephesto, Sangre Azteca, Virus b La Máscara, Máximo, Valiente
4) Blue Panther, Heavy Metal, Shocker b Terrible, Texano Jr., Villano V
5) Atlantis, Olímpico, Último Guerrero b Dos Caras Jr., LA Park, Místico

Panther yanked Villano’s mask for the pin in the semimian.

Tecs were rolling to a straight fall victory in the main event, but Ultimo faked a foul from Park in the second, then Ultimo slipped in a foul on Park when he was trying to pin Olimpico in the third. Park was wearing a Bestia Salvaje t-shirt.

CMLL (TUE) 04/01 Arena Mexico
1) Súper Camaleón & Súper Tri vs Artillero & Súper Comando
2) Astro Boy, Leono, Trueno vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Dr. X, Hooligan
3) Flash, Mictlán, Tony Rivera vs Euforia, Nosferatu, Vangelis
4) Heavy Metal, La Máscara, La Sombra vs Olímpico, Sangre Azteca, Universo 2000
5) Héctor Garza, Shocker, Volador Jr. vs Damián 666, Mr. Águila, Terrible

Is that the payment for the Mexican National Light Heavyweight title? I can think of no other reason for Vangelis to be here. It’s not (necessarily) about good or bad, it’s about the eight hundred other guys they have.

CMLL (FRI) 04/04 Arena Mexico
1) Molotov, Sombra de Plata, Starman vs Apocalipsis, Ramstein, Zayco
2) Máscara Púrpura, Stuka Jr., Súper Nova vs Loco Max, Ohara, Shigeo Okumura
3) Axxel, La Máscara, Sagrado vs Ephesto, Misterioso II, Virus
4) Averno, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mephisto vs Héctor Garza, Marco Corelone, Místico
5) LA Park vs Último Guerrero

Ultimo Guerrero says if he loses this match, he will agree to a mask match. So mark that down as a win. Semimain resumes the issues from the PPV. Axxel is still being spelled “Axel” on CMLL’s website, and I wonder if there’s a deal there. No Panther/Villano.

CMLL CAN52 Guerreros del Ring #121
03/23 Coliseo; Satánico, Shigeo Okumura, Virus b Fabián el Gitano, Felino, Mictlán
03/23 Coliseo: Último Guerrero b Volador Jr.

I don’t quite understand why the final lead up trios match wasn’t on this show last week, but okay. That one’s getting ripped and put up later.

CMLL (FRI) 03/28 Arena Mexico
1) Mini Olimpicio & Último Dragoncito vs Pequeño Damian 666 & Pequeño Halloween
2) Dark Angel, Goddess, Luna Mágica vs Hiroka, Mima Shimoda, Rosa Negra
3) La Máscara, Máximo, Valiente vs Ephesto, Sangre Azteca, Virus
4) Blue Panther, Heavy Metal, Shocker vs Terrible, Texano Jr., Villano V
5) Dos Caras Jr., LA Park, Místico vs Atlantis, Olímpico, Último Guerrero

Ovaciones focuses more on the semimain than the main event, thanks to the ongoing Villano V/Blue Panther rivalary.

ESTO pushes Shocker trying to return to form (for the upteenth time) and Park & Mistico as unlikely partners. Unless I’m missing a turn someplace, the last time Park went to the rudo side, it was because he got annoyed with Mistico on Kid’s Day. The Notimex story pushes Park/Mistico teamup.

ESTO’s notes column mentions Medussa is out six weeks due to an elbow injury. Elsewhere, Euforia is leading a fight against tuberculosis.

ESTO also reposts AAA’s preview of the Torreon show next week. El Sol de Cuautla put it in their own words, which is a point for them. No one seems to know Teddy Hart is Canadian.

According to Luchas2000 (and reposted by others)
– CMLL’s about to debut yet another Bronco
– Rayo de Jalisco Jr. has been stripped of the WWA World Heavyweight Championship for no showing that four way title match in Tijuana earlier this month (where Nicho filled in and lost instead.) Unless/Until someone else shows up in possession of the belt, I have trouble believing this.

CMLL LLA (SUN) 03/23 Gimnasio Neuvo Leon [Josedjesus @ el Martiente]
1) Coyote & Tequilita b Pedro Navajas & Sombre del Ring
2) Angel Dorado Jr., Galactar, Regio Boy b Black panther, Diabolico, the King
3) Principe de Oro, Principe de Plata, Rey Apostol b Flecha Azul, Koko Viper, Memo Valles
4) Gato Volador, Orientale I, Orientale II b Bengali, Difunto I, Difunto II
5) Valiente b Vaquero Romo [hair]

CMLL (TUE) 03/25 Arena Coliseo Gudalajara [cmll]
1) Thunder Boy b Azazel
2) Evola b Danger (Guadalajara)
3) Guero Loco b Nube Roja
4) Metal Blanco b Vaquero
5) Místico b Blue Panther, La Máscara, El Gallo, Metailk, Lizmark Jr., Texano Jr., Mr. Águila, Sangre Azteca, Nitro, Mr. Trueno, Angel Azteca Jr. [ciber]

I love when Guadalajara reports shows up on CMLL. Not just because it’s nice to know what happens there, but because the writer does stuff like segueing from “The Year Of The Cat” to the main event, where it was nearly the year of the cat. The seeding battle royal left the teams as

A) Gallo, Mr. Thunder, Blue Panther, Sangre Azteca, Mascara, Averno
B) Angel Azteca Jr., Nitro, Metalik, Mr. Aguila, Texano Jr., Mistico

Mistico was not happy to be teaming with so many rudos, but I guess fighting Averno allowed him to get over it.

– Angel Azteca (by Mr. Trueno)
– Mr. Trueno (by Metalik)
– Nitro (by Gallo)
– Metalik (by Averno)
– Averno (by Mistico, in the usual way)
– Gallo (by Texano)
– Mr. Aguila (by La Mascara)
– La Mascara (by Texano
– Texano (by Blue Panther)
– Sangre Azteca (by Mistico)
– Blue Panther (by Mistico)

Metal Blanco had Vaquero beat in the third fall, but Infierno ran in for the DQ. Metal Blanco wants a mask vs hair match, but Vaquero has yet to accept. This vacation looks to end sadly.

CMLL (SAT) 03/29 Gimnasio de la USMA, Panama City, Panama [Dia Daia Online]
1) Amapola vs Princesa Blanca [CMLL WOMEN]
2) Celestial, Negro Casas, Sandokan vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Ken-Swi, Shigeo Okumura

I may be a day off on that date. Critica en Linea previews the show with a brief Amapola bio.

indy (SUN) 03/30 Arena Ray Alcantara [Noticias Oaxaca]
1) Olimpia vs Columbia
2) Furia Azteca & Mini Zombie vs Dios Egipcio & Samael
3) Angel Nazi & Principe Fenix vs Principe Azul & Zombie
4) Subzero & Super Aguila vs Casanova & Muerte Jr.
5) Conde Salazar, Payaso Arlequin, Vuelo Espacial vs Arkamos, Challenger, Flecha India

This is Vuelo Espacial’s fairwell show. He’s moving to DF.

indy (SUN) 03/30 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]
1) Red Flamer vs Rey Demonio Jr., Imperio Romando, Arlequin, Corazon Adictor, Fomer Love, Danger Boy, Misionero [mask, hair, torneo]
2) Pancho Tequila vs Tonia Jackson Jr. [FILL SHEAVY]
3) Huracan Ramirez Jr. & Ultramán Jr. vs Hijo de Espanto II & The King
4) Golden Boy, Humberto Garza Jr., Huracan Ramirez vs Dr. Tormenta, Jaque Mate, Simbolo
5) Hator vs Aventurero

CMLL (MON) 03/31 Arena Puebla [hugo999]
1) Black Terry, Fuerza Chicana, Negro Navarro vs Centella de Oro, Lestat, the Tiger
2) Asturiano, Mascarita Dorada, Shockercito vs Espiritu Maligno, Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Halloween

4) Grey Shadow, La Sombra, Valiente vs Averno, Mephisto, Texano Jr.
5) Místico & Último Guerrero vs Dr. Wagner Jr. & Terrible [ri]

That’s going to end badly for someone.

The San Pedro Sun writes (in English) about a show in Belize. The luchadors were flown in from Chetumal, Mexico instead of any native guys (so far.)

(Periodico Digital) CMLL and indy talent are scheduled for a show on 04/19 at Tlaxcala’s fair.
