Day: August 12, 2008

CMLL (SUN) 08/10 Arena Coliseo
1) Apocalipsis & Ramstein b Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II
2) Amapola, La Nazi, Medussa b Lady Apache, Luna Mágica, Marcela
3) Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Violencia, Pequeño Warrior b Bam Bam, Fantasy, Último Dragoncito
4) La Máscara, Sagrado, Valiente b Ephesto, Mephisto, Texano
5) Black Warrior, Lizmark Jr., Rey Bucanero DQ Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone, Shocker

Main event finish was Lizmark fouling Dos. Damian made hair match challenges after beating Bam Bam, but so did Amapola so it’s still a little surprise the match happened. (FWIW, Lady Apache would prefer to get a title shot, and that’s surely going to happen sometime real soon.)

I did an update on Monday, but I don’t see it now and don’t know what happened to it. That sucks.

AAA TV (SUN) 08/17 Plaza de Toros, Tlahuelilpan [luchalibreaaa]

4) Crazy Boy & Ricky Marvin vs Jack Evans & Teddy Hart
5) Aerostar, Alan Stone, El Elegido vs Decnnis, El Brazo, Pirata Morgan
6) Cibernetico, La Parka Jr., Súper Fly vs Electro Shock, Kenzo Suzuki, Zorro

2008 AAA TV Taping
Projected Air Date (#851)
Mexico: 08/31
US: 09/20

If Super Fly turns in the main event, I will give it a million billion stars. This has to the culmination of the Super Fly/Legion stuff. AAA’s running the same exact match on the Friday taping, except Super Fly replaced Gronda. I guess that’s a totally different match, then.

If you’re like mean, you presume Aerostar teaming with Alan and Elegido here means he’s the mystery man teaming with those two guys on Friday. AAA’s site says no, it’s Silver King. However, they also add Mesias to the rudo side for the odd 4 on 3, so maybe Aero will get added before they’re thru. Anyway, that would seem to indicate Silver King should be hanging around for this show as well, but he’s not listed.

I think this match is a continuation of the Elegido/Pirata feud and not a sign they’ve forgotten the new member already, but I can never feel totally confident about that.

There’s lots of repetition with small variations between Friday and Sunday. The fourth match is the best example; 3 same guys, and we get to find out if Chessman or Crazy Boy is the better wrestler. (I think I know the answer!) Odd not to see Chessman somewhere on this card as well. Maybe he and Silver King have some big plans to watch the Olympics instead.

Hey, look, they found another way to do Morenos vs Apache without getting around to any title match. Billy’s still stuck in the pseudo-opener.

With that second round match set, that leaves Atomic Boy & Mini Abismo Negro left, presumably for the 08/31 Monterrey show.

As presumed over the weekend, CMLL has officially announced Dragon Rojo Jr. vs Mictlan in a mask match for August 29th. Dragon Rojo is the strong favorite. Oddly, this has been announced in every single outlet except CMLL’s own website. ESTO says the contract signing is today. Ovaciones writes about it today, and mentions they’ll have some announcement about TNA involvement at that show. No mention of any hair match on that show…

…but maybe on another one. After the title change and some challenges, Bam Bam and Pequeno Damian 666 will have a hair match this Sunday in Arena Coliseo. They met in last July 24 in the same match, with Damian losing. He might have a shot this time. Looks like the opening minis tag match has been bumped. Poor Electrico.

CMLL (TUE) 08/05 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Milenio b Thunder Boy
2) Depredador b Samurai
3) Super Maquina b Magnum
4) Infierno & Satánico b Máximo & Valiente
5) Rayman & Sagrado b Misterioso II & Mr. Niebla [OCCIDENTE TAG]
6) Alex Koslov, Marco Corelone, Shocker b Olímpico, Terrible, Texano Jr.

Not that I expect Misterioso and Niebla to be western tag team champs, but it’s odd to see Niebla do the job here.

AULL (SAT) 08/09 Arena Lopez Mateos [sololuchas
1) SPace Warrior b Gallito de Oro
2) Belcebu & Sol de Oriente b Balam & Paltino
3) Mr. Potro, Super Panda, Triple X b Fishman Jr., Trauma I, Trauma II
4) Solar I, Super Astro, Ultraman b Black Terry, Mano Negra, Rambo
5) Dos Caras Jr., Villano IV, Villano V DQ el Signo, Negro Navarro, Rocky Santana

Signo yanked V5’s mask for the DQ.

CMLL (SUN) 08/10 Arena Neza [Sololuchas: 1 2 3 4]
1) Lobo Azul & Pillo b Full Contact & Guepardo
2) Asesino del Futuro & Killer Machine b Red Bull & Seiya
3) Super Muneco, Super Pinocho, Super Raton b Coco Rojo, Coco Verde, Cocolores
4) Dos Caras Jr. & Sagrado DQ Black Warrior & Toscano

Warrior tried to get away with a foul on Dos Jr.

CMLL (MON) 08/11 Arena Puebla [Simon Blanco TYT @ box y lucha]
1) Blue Center, King Jaguar, Tigre Rojo b Ares, Mr. Rafaga, Sauron
2) Angel de Oro, Asturiano, Hijo del Faraon b Fuerza Chicana, Puma King, Tiger Kid
3) Máximo b Policeman [hair]
4) Alex Koslov, Shocker, Valiente b Damián 666, Terrible, Texano Jr.
5) Atlantis, Lizmark Jr., Último Guerrero b Blue Panther, Marco Corelone, Volador Jr.

UG got away with a foul on Panther in the main event. Volador replaced Dos Jr.

CMLL will have more legends at the 08/22 show.
– Audaz
– Rodolfo Ruiz (tough get!)
– Tauro
– Fishman
– Cien Caras

IWRG just happens to be running a special show the night before

IWRG (THU) 08/21 Arena Naucalapan [dark_gladiator @ el martinete]
1) Solar I, Super Astro, Ultraman vs Black Terry & Shu el Guerrero
2) ?, El Pantera, Halcon Ortiz vs Hijo del Cien Caras, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Negro Navarro
3) Audaz, Dr. Wagner Jr., Rayo de Jalisco Jr. vs Cien Caras, Máscara Año 2000, Universo 2000

If they’re coming to Mexico City, Cien and Audaz are getting two paydays out of it. This is obviously a themed show, and it sounds like they’re going to see if they can allow everyone to wear their masks for the night.

indy (SUN) 08/10 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]

Noticas Voz profiles Destroyer from Oaxaca. Noroeste writes about local wrestler Black Metal, not the one from luchaworld. (I think.)
