08/18: video, notes

No full Coliseo results yet. Ovaciones has the same bit on the hair match and the main event that was out yesterday.

Wagnermania posted this week’s Ras de Lona in two parts. You can see Villano V’s injury at about 8:05 of the second video. Ultimo Guerrero was giving him the front superplex (which, seriously, bad idea to start with) and V5 decided he didn’t want to take the normal face first bump, turning on to his side before impact. Protecting this face got his collarbone broke. From the way everyone reacted, I’d wager UG just improvised the finish of pulling V5’s mask off because Villano was done.

In el Manana, Arturo Rivera rips the Nuevo Laredo CMLL promoter, Miguel Linares, Leobrado Magadan, and Julio Cesar Rivera for promoting the local (CMLL vs ex-WWE) show as being on Televisa. Arturo says this simply isn’t true, everyone involved is a liar, and he’s going to go tattle to Televisa. I just had presumed the show was meant to be shown on the local Televisa affiliate, but I guess Arturo feels they’re implying differently. Arturo may be ever so slightly biased here.

El Porvenir talks to Lee Demarbe, the director of the Vampiro documentary. It cost $60,000 to be made, and that’s with many people apparently not actually being paid.

AAA (MON) 09/01 Gimnasio Luis Estrada Medina [noroeste]
1) Cholo Cris vs Mascara Maligna (local)
2) El Relampago & Mr. Humo vs Terremoto King Jr. & Tony Golden
3) Athos & Black Metal vs Americanista & Renegado
4) Gronda & Terry max vs Black Abyss & Kenzo Suzuki
5) El Alebrije & Octagón vs El Brazo & the Cruices

I would presume this means these guys aren’t working the TV Taping.
