CMLL (FRI) 08/15 Arena Mexico [superluchas, ESTO, Ovaciones , wagnerdesdel92 @ el Maritnete]
1) Ángel Azteca Jr., Starman, Trueno DQ Calígula, Méssala, Pólvora
2) Lady Apache, Marcela, Sahori DQ Amapola, Hiroka, Princesa Sujei
3) La Sombra, Mictlán, Sagrado DQ Dragon Rojo Jr., Mephisto, Misterioso II
4) Terrible, Texano Jr., Villano V DQ Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. b Mr. Niebla [UWA HEAVY]
A lot of DQs, but the story of the night was key injuries. Early on in the main event, Ovaciones reports Niebla fractured his left hand ring finger when taking a slam from Dr. Wagner. Niebla wrestled thru the match in pain and was taken to the hospital after the show. (Wagner retained the title clean with the Wagner Driver.) Finger fractures usually take six to eight weeks to heal, so Niebla will be dealing with this for a while
The semimain ended with Ultimo yanking off Villano 5’s mask, but the bigger story is V5 heading to the hospital with a possible fractured right collarbone. Collarbones typically take four to six weeks to heal, and the anniversary show is five weeks away. Between the finish and the injury, it’s more likely they’re headed back to a multi-man match.
CMLL hasn’t confirmed either injury, so perhaps they won’t be as bad.
Misterioso replaced Averno. Usual Dragon Rojo ripping off Mictlan’s mask bit.
Lady Apache pulled Sujei’s mask for the DQ in the women’s match and almost got away with the pin before being caught.
Starman replaced Angel de Oro, and Caligula yanked Angel Azteca Jr.’s mask to continue that opening feud.
The report on el Martiente says the building was half full.
Dr. Wagner will replace Perro Aguayo Jr. in the Gladiator Drink main event today. This means Wagner’s working as a rudo against Mistico in a trios.
There’s lots of Mistico in Beijing footage up on YouTUbe

@Rob:
Bronco’s pretty cool. The only thing is, being so huge i wish he worked/was treated as a monster type guy rather than just a normal rudo. Who’s hating on him?
I’m not sold on Faraon yet. He’s got the agility, but i’ve saw him about 5 times now and i could have been forgiven for thinking they were all the same match. He’s pretty repetive, and for all his agility, his offence is a bit tame and mid-grade.
Maybe if he’s still really green it’s not such a bad thing, but he’ll need to start varying things a bit otherwise he’ll just end up another Purpura.
Oh, and his attire also sucks and is incredibly bland for someone with an egyptian/pharaoh gimmick. El Esfinge puts him to shame! :D
The pick of the bunch from the 75 Group is Angel Azteca imo.
The usual mindless crew on the Spanish forums saying he made his debut too soon and is terrible. Nobody will explain WHY they think he’s terrible though. I agree he should be treated more like a monster instead of doing mat wrestling with Faraon’s kid. They made that mistake with Gronda back when he showed up for a couple of shows. The fans wanted to see the monster Gronda and instead the first thing he did was try to work a slow exchange with Rey Bucanero and then sold the entire second fall for the beatdown.
Angel Azteca Jr. definitely has a bright future but I wonder if he’ll be given a chance since he’s fallen into the background when it comes to Gen75 guys so far. I’d like to see an Azteca Jr., Fantasma Jr. and Faraon Jr. trio at some point.

They’ve said it several times: He’s not a muscle-head, I guess if he was looking as Olimpico then everything would be fine (or like Dragon Rojo)
LyC and Cerveza Sol tortilla chips and salsa.
re: Chui – Then I better not bring up Olimpico and Dragon Rojo Jr. don’t get those bodies by working out like they see on TV. Last time I did people freaked out on me.:P
re: Keith – May god be with you.
@Rob: For the quality of beer or Lucha?
I have not seen LyC in some time. I’m not even going to look to see who is on tonight. Want to surprise myself.
Quality of beer is dubious (get Corona better) but you’ll do fine with a lot of quantity, you might even find the lucha funny…
First match wasn’t so bad. I got to know who the fat guy was in the pink Parka outfit. I don’t think it was LA Park or Super Parka. Weird seeing Hijo Del Solitario as a rudo. Now it looks like it’s Variety hour at ACM.
That’d be LA KALAKA.
Tuesday’s lineup might be altered a bit as Ras De Lona listed Bronco in the semi-main instead of Vangelis.
