CMLL (FRI) 01/23 Arena Mexico [Ovaciones, superluchas, ESTO]
1) Sombra de Plata & Starman DQ Calígula & Méssala
2) Hiroka, Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sujei b Dark Angel, Marcela, Sahori
3) Pegasso b Súper Comando
4) Flash, Stuka Jr., Valiente b Euforia, Okumura, Virus
5) Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Héctor Garza b Averno, Lizmark Jr., Mephisto
6) La Sombra, Místico, Volador Jr. b Heavy Metal, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas
The angle of the night was the semimain. After the tecnicos cruised to another win (Hijos del Avenro are losing a lot, even for them), Villano V ran out and destroyed Blue Panther. Remmeber how Blue Panther got to wear his mask for the campaign against domestic violence photo? V5 felt much disrespect by Panther putting his mask back on, even just for a moment, and has decided he wants Panther dead. Between this, and Tuesday (when V3 was making hair match challenges to Panther), it looks like there’s more Panther/Villanos stuff on the way.
Lizmark Jr. did wrestle, which is always worth noting, but even more so since SoloLuchas put up an article talking with Lizmark Jr. about how he was going to be out six months. Very specifically, in the third paragraph, SoloLuchas says Lizmark will miss this show and undergo surgery. He obvious did wrestle, so who knows about the rest of the story. SoloLucha is fine for results, fine for indy interviews, but for news, it’s been awful lately.
SuperLuchas has Mistico winning the main event with a martinete on Mistica Negro. That’s not La Mistica! That’s also vastly illegal but shhhh.
Okumura replaced Nosferatu. Blanca beat Marcela again, which leads to a title match next week (though ESTO and Ovaciones think it’s a hair match.) No word on the DQ in the opener. I’m going to pretend it was for a closed fist.
Arturo Rivera’s column today talks about the AAA tour of the US (confusing Las Vegas with Los Angeles as the last tour stop) and talks about Super Crazy maybe appearing at Rey de Reyes.
indy (SUN) 01/25 Gimnasio el Ranchero [el siglo de torreon
1) New Warrior vs Camorra Jr.
2) Jerry Brown & Principe Halcon vs Dark Saint & Depredador (Laguna)
3) Halcon Suriano Jr., Piel Canela, Sexy Libra vs Dulce Paola, Gatubela, Junior Halcon
4) Sexy Piscis vs Piloto Negro [ECW MIDDLE]
Sexy Piscis is listed at the champion. Suddenly, I can see the commission points about trying to regulate titles here.
CMLL (TUE) 01/27 Arena Mexico
1) Tigre Blanco & Tigre Metálico vs Camorra & Inquisidor
2) Niño de Acero, Pequeño Ninja, Tzuki vs Pequeño Halloween, Pequeño Warrior, Pierrothito
3) Mascara Dorada, Metro, Valiente vs Euforia, Nosferatu, Shigeo Okumura
4) La Máscara, La Sombra, Sagrado vs Black Warrior, Dragon Rojo Jr., Sangre Azteca
5) Dos Caras Jr., Héctor Garza, Místico vs Ephesto, Terrible, Texano Jr.
“Tiger” Metalico? METRO? Is this 2005? I hate time travel.
CMLL (FRI) 01/30 Arena Mexico
1) Astro Boy, Hijo del Faraon, Tony Rivera vs Apocalipsis, Inquisidor, Pólvora
2) Felino, Vangelis, Virus vs Máscara Púrpura, Máximo, Rey Cometa

5) Black Warrior, Blue Panther, Último Guerrero vs Averno, Mephisto, Villano V
6) La Sombra, Místico, Volador Jr. vs Atlantis, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas
Just like Poder Mexica on Tuesday, Mistico/Volador/Sombra try to keep their win streak together. Speaking of together, there are the Laguneros again. Women’s match is taking the place of the now usual lightning match (and should go as long.) Felino working the segunda!
CMLL (WED) 02/18 Auditorio Miguel Barragan de San Luis Potosi [SLP]
1) Mascarita Dorada & Tzuki vs Pequeño Damian 666 & Pierrothito
2) Mictlán & Valiente vs Dragon Rojo Jr. & Virus
3) Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corleone, Máximo vs Heavy Metal, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas
4) Místico vs Averno [CMLL WELTER]
This was supposed to be Averno & Mephisto defending the titles against Marco & Mistico. Instead, Mistico will put up his title. They’ve still got three weeks to change this again.
Mascarita Dorada’s crazy multiple rotation spinning headscissors on Mini Damian from a couple months ago seems to have gone viral yesterday, popping up in weird places.

Can we restart the show and air the opener instead?
Please?
Camera work is not the same anymore. They’re too worried about capturing those rolls signs on the sides of the apron. They used to do a much closer focus.
I’m pretty sure there is no way that match could have been any worse than it was.
I’m also pretty sure Metalico is gonna piledrive himself the next time he tries an asai moonsault.
Oh good, that only went two falls.
Lucha makes it to The Big Lead today.

Thank god I disabled comments. The amount of racists who read those kind of sites is incredible.
SuperLuchas printed next week’s Arena Mexico show as having only 5 matches so perhaps the revenge match (fourth match) was a typo on Alexis’ part and would explain why Virus is booked twice. It also makes it a little interesting as will they yank the women from FSE abruptly or will the segunda make TV here?
superluchas has a photo of Crazy at a PdM show. Place is EMPTY. I figure this PdM thing will be over in a few weeks.
Looks no worse than a typical Arena Coliseo Monterrey event.
Wow, the Billy/Apaches match + angle from AAA TV today was the best thing they’ve done in a while… which isn’t really saying much if you’ve been watching over the last year but trust me – this was a beauty. Apache bled bucks and Billy was awesome spitting in the face of his wife and sitting on a KO’ed Apache. Sure, it’s the same feud we’ve been watching for years. Sure, it’s the same group of undercarders feuding amongst themselves. But at least it keeps them away from the uppercard crap in the promotion and might allow them to have some good matches which would be a nice change.
I hope that was the first match and I didn’t miss the Fuerza Aerea match but I doubt it.
Is that today’s AAA on Galavision, with the Apaches angle?
Sorry, I meant the 1/18 taping airing in Mexico now.
@odessa steps magazine: I think he means what he’s watching from Mexico, not Gala in the US.
At least I’ll get to see it in a few weeks then. Hope I remember and don’t just delete the AAA recording off hand.
LATV is airing the 03/23/08 (US) FSE show, so it appears they’re going in order. Which will make it interesting in a month from now, when they come up on some episodes FSE skipped.
