CMLL (SUN) 08/24 Arena Coliseo
1) Angel de Oro & Trueno b Apocalipsis & Inquisidor
2) Ángel Azteca Jr., Sensei, Tigre Blanco b Calígula, Dr. X, Méssala
3) Amapola, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda b Lady Apache, Princesa Blanca, Sahori
4) Averno, Mephisto, Villano III DQ Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas, Universo 2000
5) Blue Panther b Último Guerrero
Panther won the main even clean, and it sounds like the final fall was a battle of putting on and escaping submission holds. I’d love to see that match.
Lots of subs in the third (V3 for V5, Negro and Niebla for Sangre and Heavy). Niebla figured he was losing and decided he was better of fouling Negro.
Rudas won the tercera in straight falls, Amapola taking the second with a sunset flip and a hand holding onto the middle rope.
CMLL (SUN) 08/24 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Virgo b Ebola
2) Rafaga & Super Maquina b Idolo & Oro II
3) Magnum & Neutrón DQ Exterminador & Infierno
4) Axel, Casanova, Thunder Boy CO Malefico, Máscara Mágica, Toxico
5) Misterioso II, Mr. Niebla, Texano Jr. b el Gallo, Marco Corelone, Rayman
6) el Gallo & Sagrado DQ Black Warrior & Terrible
I don’t know about these results, because they only mention Mistico in passing and Rey Bucanero not at all. In stuff they do mention, Misterioso pinned el Gallo again, then came out to attack him when he worked the main event. That was the first fall DQ, and the second fall DQ was Warrior pulling Gallo’s mask. For those who came to see Mistico, this was probably not something that was going to make them too happy. Neutron got his mask yanked by Exterminador in the tercera.
CMLL (TUE) 08/26 Arena Mexico [ESTO, CMLL]
1) Inquisidor & Semental b Sombra de Plata & Starman
2) Bronco III, Hooligan, Loco Max b Ángel Azteca Jr., Metálico, Tigre Blanco
3) Fabián el Gitano, Flash, Metalik b Arkangel de la Muerte, Nitro, Skandalo
4) Alex Koslov, Maximo, Valiente b Euforia, Nosferatu, Sangre Azteca
5) Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Volador Jr. b Averno, Mephisto, Mr. Aguila
Only Dos Caras Jr. made the scheduled main event. Hector and Shocker are out , but no idea why Metal, Niebla and Negro were all MIA and I had the wrong rudo side. Sombra was missing from the semifinal, replaced by Maximo. On the good side, Metalik made his match; he falls down a lot, but he does seem to get back up a lot. In his match, Nitro yanked Flash’s mask for a first fall DQ, and Flash led the tecnicos to a second fall (and sweep win.)
Ovaciones’ update on Mistico’s injury joins the building consensus that he’ll be out six months. Meanwhile, Atlantis, Mr. Niebla, El Brazo are among those who have visited Scorpio Jr., who’s still in intensive care.
Friday’s CMLL show will be on PPV for 199 pesos ($20). Heck of an advertising job they’re doing for that. I would buy the show for that, but realize I would be one of the few. If they draw 10,000 for this show, CMLL should throw a party.
There’s a short blog entry on one of the CMLL Spain shows on “Desde este lado del mar”.
Mistico is exposed in Chilango magazine. Not his face, but they tell his real background and discuss CMLL coming up with the “orphan who lived with Fray Tormenta” story.

El Manana talks to Espantro Jr./Pentagon I.
CHIKARA says Oriental is working with on their Cleveland, Ohio show, which makes me think he may be in Streamwood the night before. Oriental wrestled in the promotion in 2004, so this is a return. If only he beat Cassandro to hold onto the CHIKARA Lightweight Championship!
Wonder whatever happened to Violencia? A post on Box Y Lucha says he’s wrestling in Guatemala.
Local wrestlers in Colima want the local government to form a box y lucha commission.
