Scorpio Jr. was taken to Hospital Obregon on Friday night with two bleeding ulcers. He had surgery on Saturday. SoloLuchas painted a “grave” situation in it’s first post, and seems slightly toned down on it’s followup interview with Scorpio Sr. I don’t see any other source with this story; I believe it, but there’s a lack of details for a story that’s 48 hours in progress.
Cesar @ box y lucha says WWE’s ending up with TVC Deportes, starting 10/06.
Still no Accion. If it’s not back next week, I go to the police station and file a missing person’s report. Newspaper reports about lucha should pick back up starting tomorrow, obviously.
Univision has an article on the annual CMLL Minis Anniversary Celebration. The division is 16 this year. Roll call of people who barely see CMLL DF matches: Pequeno Lizmark, Pequeno Mascara Ano 2000, Bracito de Oro, and Pequeno Lizmark.
SoloLuchas continues it’s series of asking wrestlers about the Olympics with Shocker, Dr. Wagner Jr. and Dragon Rojo Jr. Dragon Rojo was apparently a elementary school gym teacher before going into lucha full time. If anyone I know read this blog, there’d be about fifteen hundred jokes I could make here. Wagner was getting his hands in the walk of fame, where one wrestler seems to get their hands every month.

Scorpio fouled Intocable, but got caught. Dr. Cerebro beat Freelance, still wants a shot at his title. Naturally, he gets a title shot next week, at a completely different title. There’s an interview with Emilio, who says he might join up with Scorpio and Zumbido as the Guapos, or maybe they’ll restart the Tailban instead.

4) Ave Nocturna, Huizar, Yakuza vs Federales I, Federales II, Judas el Traidor
5) Axel, Metalik, Último Vampiro vs El Magnifico, Mr. México, Sangre Azteca
This is the first match I’ve seen Mr. Mexico listed in since he lost his hair to Leono last December. I choose to believe he withdrew from wrestling in embarrassment after that match, though that wouldn’t explain why Leono won’t go away.
CMLL (SUN) 08/31 Arena Coliseo
1) Molotov & Trueno vs Artillero & Súper Comando
2) Metalik, Sensei, Tony Rivera vs Apocalipsis, Halcon Negro, Loco Max
3) Lady Apache, Luna Mágica, Marcela vs Amapola, Medussa, Princesa Sujei
4) Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Héctor Garza vs Texano Jr., Villano IV, Villano V
5) Heavy Metal, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas vs Averno, Mephisto, Terrible
Halcon Negro?!? HMMMMMM. (I’m going to guess Metalik. If I explain this parenthetical, than it might not happen or it will happen and everyone will be annoyed with me for pointing it out. I’m sure someone will explain it in the comments.) Speaking of, Sololuchas did a short interview with Metalik.
Someone’s showing up with no hair or no mask for the first time in the women’s trios. Whatever title program they were doing with the Perros team last week has completely been forgotten this week, and they’re inexplicably facing Peste Negra.
IWRG (SUN) 08/31 Arena Naucalpan
1) Eragon & Yack vs Epidemia & Heavy Boy
2) Fenix & Miss Gaviota vs Fantasma de la Ópera & Judas el Traidor
3) Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro vs Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro
4) Aeroman, Freelance, Pantera, Ultramán Jr. vs Ciclon Negro, El Dandy, Emilio Charles Jr., Veneno
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. & Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. vs LA Park & Multifacético
I guess that’s a relevos increidbles main? Park’s a rudo here, right? I think so, it’s just not listed as much. Kinda weird the Oficials are putting up the trios titles on Thursday, then facing almost the same trios on Sunday.
