05/24: Mexico



ESTO

CMLL (FRI) 05/23 Arena Mexico [superluchas, ESTO, ovaciones]
1) Ohara & Shigeo Okumura b Stuka Jr. & Súper Nova
2) Dark Angel, Goddess, Luna Mágica b Amapola, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda
3) Alex Koslov, Blue Panther, Negro Casas b Damián 666, Terrible, Texano Jr.
4) Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero b Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone, Shocker
5) Héctor Garza & Místico b Averno & Mephisto [CMLL TAG]
6) el Hijo del Perro Aguayo b Toscano, Heavy Metal
7) Heavy Metal b Toscano [hair]

Perro escaped the triangle apuesta match by double stomping Metal, then Metal got Toscano with a casita for the hair win. Toscano did shake Heavy Metal’s hand after the match. If you combine the two segments of the match, it went just over 10 minutes.

On the other hand, SuperLuchas has the semimain as going 36 minutes, with the last fall alone being a 23 minute marathon. It sounds as though this might have worn out the crowd before the main event, but they were happy enough with this one to throw money in. Again, clean finishes to take the night. Rudos took the first fall, tecnicos won the second fall with their trademark move and eventually pulled out the match with lesser moves in the third match. Averno & Mephisto raised the hands of the champs after the match.

FWIW, CMLL says Mistico and Hector Garza are listed as New Champions, so this is meant to be a second straight reign.

Not a lot of other news on the show. Both Bucanero and Koslov got winning third fall pinfalls in their matches, so they’re both on the up swing going into Sunday’s title match. Bucanero pinned Shocker and threw out a hair challenge, while Alex’s team won in straight falls after Texano got his team DQed in the first fall. Dark Angel continued to beat Amapola in trios matches; she just needs to figure it out in a singles match. Luna was hurt in that match.

ESTO said the building was packed, but they might have not opened all the possible seats.

CMLL (TUE) 05/27 Arena Mexico
1) Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II vs Artillero & Súper Comando
2) Mascarita Dorada, Pequeño Olímpico, Tzuki vs Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Halloween, Pequeño Warrior
3) Máscara Púrpura, Máximo, Stuka Jr. vs Diamante Negro, Ephesto, Misterioso II
4) La Máscara, La Sombra, Negro Casas vs Averno, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mephisto
5) Blue Panther, Místico, Shocker vs Rey Bucanero, Toscano, Último Guerrero

Ultimo, Rey and Toscano teaming? I guess it could work.

CMLL (FRI) 05/30 Arena Mexico
1) Astro Boy & Molotov vs Calígula & Méssala
2) Dark Angel, Lady Apache, Marcela vs Amapola, Hiroka, Princesa Sujei
3) Felino, Máximo, Volador Jr. vs Damián 666, Mr. Águila, Terrible
4) Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Místico vs Averno, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mephisto and Heavy Metal, Marco Corelone, Shocker and Villano III, Villano IV, Villano V [CMLL TRIOS, torneo, sf]
5) Héctor Garza, LA Park, Negro Casas vs Atlantis, Toscano, Último Guerrero

Lots of stuff going on here. LA Park is back after four weeks, Lady Apache is back after a bit longer. This is the first part of the Trios tournament. I’m guessing we’ve got a Guerreros team, another Perros team, the Mexican Trios Champs (or something close to them) and something approaching Garza’s team in this main event. I’ve got less of an idea who’s going to win this.

  1. The Tuesday show next week looks good. I’m guessing Fabian will replace Purpura to continue the Negro/Fabian feud?

    I”m not shocked Toscano lost. He probably would have no showed if he was scheduled to win anyways.

    Hey Rob, I see Reyes del Aire is finally up. I bet that made your day.

  2. No Xej feed sucks, but I’m kinda looking forward to Llaves y Candados tonight, without AAA, we can get a Negro Navarro fix. :)

  3. Sounds like Luna Magica finally tempted fate too much and crushed her face on a dive gone wrong last night.

    I wonder if they’re heading somewhere with Dark Angel/Amapola as they’re booked in the segunda next week AGAIN which would make it 3 out of 4 weeks.

    Tuesday for C3 looks AWESOME! It’ll be Tzuki’s first appearence on a Tuesday show and it looks like they’re doing the same match as the Record show (which was supposedly great) except Pequeno Warrior instead of Aguilita which works for me since Tzuki/Dorada both work great with Pequeno Warrior.

    Weird to see no Fabian/Diamante match but that tercera looks fine without Fabian.

    Good to see Sombra back. Was wondering where he disapeared to from the Arena Mexico shows.

    Main event should be awesome. Love that old GDI team and hopefully they keep them together for the trios tournament instead of adding Atlantis.

    Friday is quite interesting. Booking the tournament might be a little easier once you figure it will take another week to run the next bracket and the actual match for the titles will be on the big June 13th show. So right away you can cross out anyone who has the chance of being the cage match. Of course even by saying that I have no clue who to pick from this group of teams since Panther, Villano IV, Perrito, Shocker and Heavy Metal were all people I thought would be in the cage. So I’m stumped. I’ll wager a guess and say Mistico’s team will win the bracket and they’re saving Blue/Villano IV till September.

    Otherwise a very average show. Tuesday wins this week.

    In CMLL/TNA news, I just read somewhere that in the Observer this week Meltzer says the Team Mexico in TNA will be Bucanero, Guerrero, Averno and Volador. Of course we’ll have to wait to see the WON and see if Meltzer confirmed it or just said “that’s who TNA wants”. These random sites that steal tend to not know the difference.:)

  4. Is LyC still showing the Sunday shows even with the switch in who runs which building?

  5. last night show sounds good, i hope we can see some matches.

    if someone could upload bucanero-koslov match when it aired i be glad,
    thanks in advance

  6. Last week CMLL Friday show(the whole episode) is on Youtube so hopefully this week make it to youtube.

    The feed sucks.

  7. Is Llaves y Candados still on Saturday’s at 10pm? I wonder if the feed works then.

  8. The feed always works like C3 but I try to catch it last weekend and it was soccer on.

  9. Marco Rivero is saying that AAAMania is airing through SKY… so I wonder if CMLL will actually do anything special on the same date since I doubt SKY would do two PPVs on the same date.

  10. Shit, when did Blue Panther start buting out the tope con giros? :)

    Pics up btw, Stuka’s got a new outfit and Los Guerreros have a great triple submission :)

    Oh and some chick’s attempting the ugliest moonsault i’ve ever saw :)

  11. yeah, LyC is at 10 if they air it, it’s better if you open it with real player.

  12. Well that just goes to show that not every primera is must-see.:P Nice to see the new faces though. They’re obviously still really green (except Sensei). This sets a horrible example though b/c now every week I’ll be looking forward to the opener airing. I wonder if a match is going to get cut or if the card was just really short on Tuesday?

    re: Henrik…

    Never seen Panther do that! I wonder if it’s just the picture though and he’s just doing a pescado where he’s planning on missing it and trying to twist to the side.

    Is that a new Stuka outfit or just a combo of his outfit and Super Nova’s?

    That chick would be Luna Magica seconds before her face got smashed in.:P

    Segunda is on C3 now so if something gets cut it’ll be up top.

  13. I guess I should insult Metalico more b/c he just did his most innovative exchange ever…

  14. OOF – YOU DEAD NOW TIGRE BLANCO! If he didn’t have to retire a few months ago it might be time after Hooligan Crash!:D

    What an entertaining segunda so far…

  15. That segunda was pretty damn fun!

    The new Bronco is a MONSTER! He was more than a head taller than everyone else in the match but also did two dives and bumped well. I wonder who he is…

  16. Has to be a rookie then… where else have we ever seen a guy that big who can fly?

  17. Damn that segunda was fun!They were working as if their jobs were on the line!

    All 6 looked great. First Bronco impressions are that he’s huge, he’s kinda awkward looking, but he’s also nuts and will probably be a fun rudo!

    I thought the opener was ok. I really like Sensei, i wish we could see more of him. On the other hand I really dislike Molotov and that match only reinforced my opinion that he sucks. He just doesn’t look or move like a luchador. he’s really slow, stuttery, awkward and everything he does is just ugly and unphotogenic (if that’s a word).

    First impressions of Zumb… Carrona were pretty good, i think i could like him – he looks like he knows what he’s doing and he has a cool look.

  18. “On the other hand I really dislike Molotov and that match only reinforced my opinion that he sucks. He just doesn’t look or move like a luchador. he’s really slow, stuttery, awkward and everything he does is just ugly and unphotogenic (if that’s a word).”

    That basically describes every luchador who is more into bodybuilding than wrestling which Molotov obviously is. I’m not too into him either but let’s give him time and see what 6 months to a year does.

    First fall of the tercera was actually really good for those who are still tuned in. (I’d tune out too if I saw Mictlan coming!)

  19. I suppose, but he’s been around for quite a while now, it’s not like he’s just straight out of the training shcool. You can just tell that he hasn’t got it :-p

    I’d rather watch Astro Boy :)

  20. So that’s what a full Tuesday show feels like, huh?:) I thought it was way above average. C3 is already awesome and if they keep showing the full shows they’re only gonna get more awesome in my mind! Really fun 2 hours.

  21. CMLL TV in Mexico doesn’t start for another 2 hours or so if anyone wants to keep trying the feed.

  22. Damn i meant Stuka, Henrik siad something about pics above.

    Thanks for the feed :)

  23. Looks like TV’s airing:

    3) Alex Koslov, Blue Panther, Negro Casas b Damián 666, Terrible, Texano Jr.
    5) Héctor Garza & Místico b Averno & Mephisto [CMLL TAG]
    6) el Hijo del Perro Aguayo b Toscano, Heavy Metal
    7) Heavy Metal b Toscano [hair]

  24. They have the lights turn off and not open shot has been done, so I guess no, it wasn’t a real sellout (even with cheap tickets and 2×1) but it was probably good considering a couple of weeks earlier they had the “Record” anniversary show for free and got 75%.

  25. Guess Valiente wasn’t hurt as bad as thought or he returned way too early b/c a report from the CMLL show in Hermosillo last night (Saturday) claims he wrestled in the semi-main event.

  26. If they have 4 Misticos then they ought to have 9 Valientes!!!

    Anyways, the results were taken from a newspaper (el imparcial) so it is also possible that the guy just used the original card to print the names and don’t even knows who Valiente is, I remember once when Villanos were replaced by Tarzan Boy and someone else and the newsreporter (a lady) said “Villanos were pretty handsome”.

  27. So what’s the deal with the 3 guys in the main event coming out on Motorcycles?

  28. cool and sexy (well, from a woman’s point of view anyway).

    plus there’s something just so freeing and fun sitting on the back of a bike and having the wind whip through your hair! (not always so fun at the front, i.e. can get kinda chilly!)

  29. You were correct Chui, Valiente didn’t show – it was Maximo. Easy to get the two confused.;)

  30. It’s the Leon show, they confirmed (again) Lashey and Danielson… they make it sound as if they’ll be around after ‘mania.

  31. Aw that blows, I skipped the show thinking it’d be the Expo show. I never catch the week with the Barrios.

  32. CMLL.com noticias section has announced the 6/13 main event for those who can’t wait for cubs’ update.

  33. Did Mrs. Toscano (my all time favorite CMLL ring girl)come out to console her husband?

  34. I have a feeling Toscano is going to pull a Rey Buccanero and turn technico to feud witht he GDI and the Perros. And just like it was when Buccanero turned technico, it will be Negro Casas who will be the man that turns him.
