04/06: Gudalajara

CMLL (SUN) 04/06 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [CMLL]
1) Palacio Negro b Novato
2) Thunder Boy b Valentin Mayo
3) Fraile de la Muerte & Guero Loco b Metatron & Virgo
4) Depredador (Guadalajara), Mr. Trueno, Rey Trueno b Flash, Máscara Púrpura, Metalik
5) Metal Blanco b Vaquero [hair]
6) Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto b La Sombra, Rayman, Sagrado

Down goes Vaquero! Tavomarz66 says Vaquero joined the Bald Brotherhood with Charles Barkley, but not Britney Spears (since she’ll just dishonor the group.) I’m thinking he’s a big PTI fan.

PYCV (SUN) 04/06 Unidad Deportiva Inalambrica [fusiont @ Satanico’s Mansion]
4) Rey Persa L Rebelde Punk, Super Piloto, Buitre Lee, Vaquero de Oro, Cachorro Jr., Lobo Salavje, Chupacabras, Tormenta Negra Jr., Corsario jr. [cage]

Rey Persa is Jose Maria Hernandez Garcia, 18 years a wrestler, from Tuxtla, Gutierrez, Chiapas.

CMLL (MON) 04/21 Cancha German Evers [Dragon_Extremo @ Satanico’s Mansion]
1) Kempo Dragon, Serpiente Marina, Tyogn vs Satgento Negro, Spartan, Terremoto King
2) Apocalipsis (NWG) vs Crazystin [ladder]
3) Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno vs Metal Balnco & Mr. Trueno [PACIFIC COAST TAG]
4) Sangre Azteca vs Sagrado [MEX WELTER]
5) La Sombra & Místico vs Averno & Mephisto

The Truenos are the current champs. So is Sangre, but I figured you knew that one.

Rey Misterio Jr. is nominated for Faovrite Extreme Athlete in the American Latino TV awards (on the LatiNation network.) Voting is online, so I like Rey’s chances in this one, though the competition is more credible than Abismo Negro. What’s great is the press release doesn’t actually mention when the winners will be announced. You’d think that’d be important. (thanks to mikeinformer)

Vangelis told Reforma he’s in CMLL to win his title back. I think the right think for Mistico to do would be to give him the title so he goes away. Mistico has four other ones he doesn’t use and it’d be for the greater good.

Noticias-Oaxaca profiles local female wrestler Olimpia.

There’s a rumor Lady Apache is still out of action because she’s pregnant.

There’s a poster listing all 200 people scheduled to appear, including those without announced matches, on the lucha libre expo’s website (scroll down a little.)

According to MedioTiempo AAA announced some non-match events for the Expo at the press conference to officially joint the show. Super Calo, Gran Apache and El Mexicano (?) will have a wrestling clinic for kids, Super Porky, Abismo Negro, Elegido, Psicosis and Cuervo will particpate in a “Rudos y Tecnicos” panel discussion.

I don’t anything about going to Mexico, but I would think that May 2nd week is the time to go. You can hit the Expo and Toryumon’s usually running a show about that time (which means guys in for the International Gran Prix.)

Super Comando & Artillero vs Moltov & Tiger Kid

http://www.sendspace.com/file/ckq7e1

While I’ve got you here, can I request that those who leave comments without a name please pick a name? If you post a comment without a name and with a link, there’s 90% chance the comment spam filter is going to junk it and no one’s going to see it for days. (It’s not a lot better odds if you don’t have a link.) Plus, I just assume all unnamed comments are Chui’s and that doesn’t seem to be accurate lately.

I’m not going to force anyone to change their ways, but if you want your comment noticed, it needs to have something in the name box. Thanks!

completely off topic: next time I run thru the roster, I need to change “Openers” to “Novatos” and then maybe split the midcard into segunda (anyone who ever faces or teams with Ohara or Okumura) and tercera divsions.

Vaquero’s still there. HMMMM. Haven’t seen weekend results yet. Depredador is the current champ. I’d think it’s title change.

04/05 AAA TV Results (Torreon)

Previous: 03/05 (SLP), 03/09 (Texcoco), 03/16 (Monterrey, Rey de Reyes)

AAA TV (SAT) 04/05 Plaza de Toros de Torreon, Coahuila [KrisZ]
1) Argenis & Gato Eveready b Picudo & Toxico AAA
2) Mascarita de la Muerte, Mini Abismo Negro, Mini Histeria b Mascarita Sagrada, Mini Dizzy, Octagoncito

5) Alan Stone, El Elegido, Laredo Kid DQ Cuervo, Mesias, Ozz
6) Cibernetico DQ Zorro

Projected air date (#831)
Mexico: 04/13
US: 05/03

Mesias ran in and attacked Cibernetico so Zorro would end up losing (and I guess not become #1 contender.) Feels like we’re headed to another triangle match here.

Sect beat up Laredo and ripped off his mask for the DQ.

Mari gave Fabi the Wagner Driver of Death after the match.
