05/04: CHIKARA (kinda), Santo, IWRG, Lucha Libre Expo, lineups



Cassandro, your CHIKARA champ

SuperLuchas #262

AAA PC (TUE) 04/29 Parque Revolucion, Culiacan, Sinaola [SuperLuchas #262]
1) Tygol b Twiser
2) Frank el Payaso & Spartan b Delfin & Orion
3) Doberman, Epidemia, Psiclope b Monster Truck I, Muralla Negra, Relampago
4) Extreme Tiger & Halloween b Joe Lider
5) Casandro b Oriental [CHIKARA WELTER]
6) Chessman & Cibernetico b Black Abyss, Mesias [cage]

The title match was said to be a pretty good technical match, if that makes a difference. The report says it was the Light Heavyweight title, but I’m sticking with Welterweight. Crazy Boy was supposed to be Lider’s partner, but the results list no one so that’s what I’ll go with.

UMLL (SAT) 04/26 Centro de Espectaculos el Circulo de Guadalajara [SuperLuchas #262]
1) El Juli b Terror
2) Payasito Luchin & Super Coco b Perro Callejero & Pokarito Jr.
3) el Hijo del Pierroth, Great Eku, Shyru Dragon b Eddy Montana, Flash I, Flash II
4) La Parkita & Mascarita Sagrada b Espectrito de la Ultratumba & Penagoncito Black
5) El Hijo Del Santo & Rey Misterio Sr. b Hijo del Cien Caras & Super Parka

This was Santo’s 25th anniversary show in Gudalajara. Kinda think he could be doing better than show with yet another Hijo de Pierroth and indy clown gimmicks on the undercard.

IWRG (SUN) 04/27 Arena Naucalpan [SuperLuchas #262]
1) Avisman & Misterio b Judas el Traidor & Quarterback
2) Chico Che & Miss Gaviota vs Trauma I & Trauma II
3) Payaso Carrona, Payaso Miedo, Payaso Terror b Coco Verde, Cocochips, Cocolores
4) Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro b Aeroman, Multifacético, Zatura
5) el Hijo del Pierroth II, Fuerza Guerrera, Septiembre Negro II b El Dandy, El Fantasma, Fantasma Jr.

Clown on clown violence!

Black Terry demanded another title match after his team win, but Dr. Cerebro interrupted to point out he, saying he was champion before those two and should get a shot first. (Dr. Cerebro is technically right, but he hasn’t held the Welterweight since 2002 so I’m confused.) Cerebro Negro also has issues with Multifacetico so the rudos are kinda stepping on each other to be the guy who takes out the young tecnico.

In the main event, Fuerza snuck in a foul on Fantasma. After it, Fuerza praised Fantasma, saying there would be no wrestling without his work as a commission and he’s glad IWRG is about fighting and not dancing.

IWRG (THU) 05/01 Arena Naucalpan [SuperLuchas #262]
1) Halcon 2000 b Anubis
2) Avisman & Jack b Judas el Traidor & Quaterback
3) Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro b Fantasma de la Ópera, Kazuki, Miss gaviota
4) Oficial 911, Oficial AK 47, Oficial Fierro b Aeroman, Chico Che, Zatura [EdM TRIOS]
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. & Silver King b Hijo del Cien Caras & Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. and Fuerza Guerrera & Máscara Año 2000 and Multifacético & Pantera

As mentioned before, Wagner and King want a shot at the tag titles. Oficials retained the titles; no notes about the quality of the match. Fantasma de la Opera and Black Terry recalled how much they hate each other. I wonder if Fantasma will remember he was actually the guy who held the Welterweight title before Terry and Multifacetico.

CMLL (SAT) 05/03 Centro Banamex [Luchando Libre]
1) Pequeño Olímpico & Último Dragoncito b Mini Violencia & Pequeño Warrior
2) Dark Angel & Gaia b Hiroka & Princesa Sujei
3) La Máscara, La Sombra, Sagrado vs Ohara, Shigeo Okumura, Skandalo
4) Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero DQ Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Volador Jr.
5) Marco Corelone, Místico, Shocker b Damián 666, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Terrible

Main event focused on Shocker vs Terrible. Dos Caras Jr. suffered a hurt ankle in the semimian, and the rudos yanked Volador’s mask to finish the match. Gaia replaced Luna Magica, who did appear but was presumably hurt.

CMLL 2 (SAT) 05/03 Centro Banamex [Luchando Libre]
1) Hijo del Fantasma b Diamante Negro, Ángel Azteca Jr., Skandalo, Kid Tiger, Puma King, Flash, Hijo del Faraon, Bronco III [ciber]

A special one match showcasing the “new stars” of CMLL as the start of their 75th anniversary celebration, held in between the two shows on this day (I think.) Bronco doesn’t debut officially until tonight, and I didn’t know Hijo del Faraon was with training with the company till here – he’s been working in AULL but must be in the CMLL classes as well.

AULL (SAT) 05/03 Centro Banamex [Luchando Libre]
1) Heavy Boy, Trauma II, Truama I b el Dragon, Kilvan, Spider Boy
2) Chucho el Roto, Epidemia, Robin Maravilla b Blasfemia, Cerebro Maligno, Herejia
3) Rocky Santana & Villano V b Solar I & Super Astro [trofeo Experiencia 2008]
4) Rey Krymen, Sadico, Sepulturero I b Psicopata, Terry 2000, Yakuza [AULL TRIOS]
5) LA Park & Super Parka b Silver King & Villano III

Title change. Terry 2000 hurt his shoulder in the second fall, which spelled doom for his team. Despite losing his match, Silver King wants a shot at LA Park’s title. I have no idea which title that is.

The Gladiatores have pictures from Day 1 and Day 2 on their website.

Accion’s CMLL highlights were of the main event. Most notable thing was Shocker completely missing his target on his double jump plancha to the floor. V5 continues the Villanos trend of working with the Perros as if he’s win, and he held down Shocker for Perro’s double stomp and the clean pinfall. AAA had the three way cage match from Zapopan. Clips of the match were short, but it appeared to be a weapons brawl. Zorro took out the other two with chair shots and escaped, then Mesias barely got Cibernetico up for a powerbomb thru a table. Focus was on Vampiro’s return post match, and Mesias’ shocked (but mostly exhausted) reaction.

During the show, it was announced Zorro vs Cibernetico for the AAA Heavyweight Title will take place at TripleMania. Both guys worked on getting seconds for the match during the show.

Hell Brothers won the main event, despite Mesias getting involved (and Nicho randomlly getting involved after the match, I think.) After the match, Cibernetico asked Prez Roldan to be his second and he said yes. There’s around a 70% chance Roldan turns on Cibernetico at TripleMania – there’s not much other reason for him to be there, and he’s enjoying TV way too much not to be talked into a rudo turn.

Zorro seemed to have the semimain won until the Sect ran into save Mesias. Konnan himself ran all of them off, and then Zorro asked him to be his second. I think Cibernetico might have gotten the more mobile guy.

In the Vipers match, Niebla fouled Abismo, pulled his mask, fouled Octagon and got away with it all, taking the match with a pin. AAA’s report says Octagon and Abismo were angry with each other after the match – maybe Niebla tricked them into believing one had fouled the other? Maybe the fouls reminded Abismo he shouldn’t instantly be friends with all the tecnicos he’s hated for years? I dunno.

Clowns are at 120. 30 to go. If my taping guess is right, then they’re right on pace to go for 150 (with some slight fudging) at TripleMania.

Mari got Fabi with the Michinoku driver again. No notes on the Pirates match
