IWRG (SUN) 06/22 Arena Naucalpan [the gladiatores]
1) Eragon & Halcon Salvaje b Anubis & Comando Gama
2) Chico Che & Turbo b Fantasma de La Opera & Thunder Black
3) Bugambilia, Centauro, Miss Gaviota b Arlequin, Trauma I, Trauma II
4) Black Terry b Fuerza Guerrera
5) el Hijo Del Anibal, Multifacetico, Pantera DQ El Dandy, Shu el Guerrero, Veneno
6) Dr. Wagner Jr. b LA Park [UWA HEAVY]
Wagner won clean, with a submission. How unusual for this feud(/promotion.) Ricky Cruzz was Park’s second, and got away with attacking Wagner thru the match despite that being a DQ and all.
Scorpio was Wagner’s second in the main event. It seems he turned tecnico before the semimian, when he showed up to say hi to his old rudo friends, and Veneno had unresolved anger about the Corporacion. Yes, the faction from 2005 that you haven’t thought about much sense, but Veneno apparently blames Scorpio for going to AAA and causing the breakup. Naturally, Scorpio came back to cause a DQ in the third fall.
Fuerza and Terry had a bloody brawl. Black Terry won clean.
Lots of good stuff in Arturo Rivera’s Ovaciones column today
– Guapito has re-re-re-reversed his position, having gone to the AAA offices on Monday to ask for his job back. This would be his fourth switch in eight days. MAKE UP YOUR MIND. I think the only solution is to clone Guapito so he can work both places.
– Arturo doesn’t like the chances of all that jumped to IWRG, beause their TV isn’t very strong and they’ll slip from fans minds. In one of his interviews, Guaptio brought this up as a reason why he changed his mind (and then changed it twice more.) IWRG really needs it’s Azteca show on everywhere, including the capital, if they want to have major league visibility
– It was CMLL who called Sexi Star about her interest in jumping. She said no.
– AAA’s wrestlers find out their schedule by going to the AAA office. And even then, not always – this past week, one of the wrestlers was hanging out in the park, bought a magazine from a vendor, and found out he (and Arturo) were supposed to be working in Colima on Tuesday. This does not surprise me. Artruo wants a better solution.
MEANWHILE: AAA’s taken down the “Zumbido/Decnnis” are hanging around article. I mean, it’s still on the site, but all the links to it are gone.
CMLL.com confirms Atlantis/Shocker for the NWA LH Title has been added to Sunday. ESTO had this a couple days ago. I guess it could be a title change, not like Atlantis has done anything with the belt. This will be Atlantis’ first charted title defense in four months, and his first defense on a CMLL TV taping since February of ’06.

Alex and Axxel switched spots from what was advertised. Misterioso yanked Gallo’s mask in the second fall of the match, then fouled him in the third. Warrior yanked Sombra’s mask.
CMLL also posted Sunday Coliseo results and photos, so we can work out the tournament:

8) Flash & Stuka Jr. b Nitro & Skandalo [Arena Coliseo TAG, quarterfinal, torneo]
9) Flash & Stuka Jr. b Bronco III & Diamante Negro [Arena Coliseo TAG, semifinal, torneo]
Something odd must’ve happened in the battle royal to get tecnico/tecnico and rudo/rudo matchups. Looks like Dark Angel hit the ropes on the way thru for a tope to cause her injury.

Heavy Metal did end up attacking Dos in the second fall, leading to a two fall loss for the tecnicos
Notimex looks to write about UG and Rey winning in Orlando on Monday, so naturally they use an old interview with Mistico.To save this from complete uselessness, Mistico reveals he’s going to take of some time for this wrist – in two or three weeks. I’m sure it’ll hold till then.
