03/23: FMLL, IWRG, Accion, Coliseo

note the small amount of flame/ESTO

The FCW FMLL show last night was almost derailed by Blue Demon Jr. & El Hijo del Santo being detained by immigration. Santo says someone called immigration to alert them of Santo and Demon coming thru, but they did end up making it to the show anyway. Santo never specifies who he thinks did it, but it seems like he has someone in mind. There’s pictures of the show over on So Cal Uncensored‘s board.

SuperLuchas #256 has many pages recapping Dos Leyendas. They confirm there was no moment of applause for Bestia Salvaje, which is very disappointing. I think I understand what I believe to be the reasoning – the night was about remembering two other people and they didn’t want to take away from it – but I completely and totally disagree with it.

IWRG (SUN) 03/16 Arena Naucalpan [Superluchas #256]
1) Ambar & Bacteria b Nemesis IWRG & Taz el Feroz
2) Chico Che & Star Boy b Rey Estruendo & Rockero del Diablo
3) Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro b Fantasma de la Ópera, Filoso, Freelance
4) Capitán Muerte, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Ventarron b El Fantasma, Miss Gaviota, Zatura
5) Black Dragon, Multifacético, Pantera b Cerebro Negro, Cyborg, Xibalva [capitans hair]

Multifacetico took Cyborg’s hair, pinning him directly in the third fall. Toscano was replaced by Zatura.

Solar I was scheduled to replace Groon in tonight’s IWRG taping. That’s a slight difference. Ovaciones also says Shocker’s going to work here, since he’s not getting booked by CMLL much. (I read that as “suspension”, but he’s supposed to be back next week.) Did Tarzan show up tonight? Will Multifacteico’s super push include a title win? I don’t know, IWRG’s site is still down.

ELL MEX (SUN) 03/23 Chicago, IL [superluchas]
1) Rey Macahui b Medico Loco
2) Angel de la Muerte & Bazooka b Elektron & Mascara de Jade
3) Diabolico & Horoscopo b Kamikaza & Rey Fuego
4) Discovery, Principe Franky, Rayo Lazer DQ Angel de la Muerte, Dorado, Rey Azteca

I didn’t even know THIS show was going on.

ELL MEX (SAT) 03/29 Chicago, IL [superluchas]
1) Kato Kung Lee Jr. & Zuleyma vs El Dorado & La Sirentia
2) Magno & Principe Franky vs Black Fish & Mano Negra
3) Lola Gonzalez vs Xochitl Hamada [EWWL WOMEN]

This is another tribute show for Chela Salazar, who’s recovering from cancer. Locals will be added to the undercard.

Accion:

CMLL: Hector vs Perro. Hector got to kick out the double stomp before going down to Perro’s actual finisher.

AAA: Hell Brothers killing Head Hunter I, Abismo Negro and Zorro. Zorro gets destroyed, we don’t see any of Abismo’s turn, and Head Hunter is the only rudo to get offense in, just enough to set up a missed moonsault and a Cibernetico chokeslam for the ring.

CMLL (SUN) 03/30 Arena Coliseo
1) Sensei & Sombra de Plata vs Carrona & Cholo
2) Ángel Azteca Jr., Astro Boy, Neutrón vs Dr. X, Loco Max, Nitro
3) Fabián el Gitano, Leono, Tony Rivera vs Euforia, Nosferatu, Satánico
4) Alex Koslov, La Máscara, La Sombra vs Misterioso II, Olímpico, Virus
5) Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., LA Park vs Villano III, Villano IV, Villano V

Semimain looks good. Segunda would be fun if it airs. The rest of it…

Fox News picked up the Super Mojado gimmick. There’s a match. Gringo Loco had a Mojado shirt (complete with a stick figure swimming) at the lucha last show I remembered to go to, so I think he wins this by a week.
