Fuego en el Ring has relaunched their website, which meant my secret robot checking the site for new updates broke without me realizing it. Probably should fix that part of the robot.

Anyway, here’s what I’ve missed.

CMLL (SUN) 05/31 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Acertijo & Azazel b Thunder Boy & Virgo
2) Casanova & Nube Roja b Asesino Negro & Rafaga
3) Metal Blanco & Neutron b Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno
4) Blue Panther, Maximo, Mictlan b Black Warrior, Dragon Rojo Jr., Sangre Azteca
5) La Sombra, Mistico, Volador Jr. b Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas

Now you know: Mr. Trueno is the Occidente Middleweight champ. Looking back thru the records, he must’ve defeated Metatron on the 12/30/08 show; no results ever turned up for that show. Neutron’s the one challenging (and soon), not the other way around. Henrik would be thrilled, if he was still here.

This was the show where Mistico did his “give me a bigger push or I’m doing home” interview; Fuego en el Ring has their own version, where Mistico notes he would not go to TNA, because they’re too small time for him. Awesome. Mistico is going to be a natural rudo someday.

CMLL (TUE) 06/02 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Milenio b Quazar
2) Hierro b Angel del Mal
3) Metatron b Infierno
4) Lluvia & Zeuxis b La Seductora & Magnifica
5) Dark Angel & Lady Apache b Amapola & Princesa Blanca
6) Terrible & Texano Jr. b Mictlan & Shocker [OCCIDENTE TAG]

Besides the title match fun, the story from the semimain is Lady Apache wants a title shot against…Princesa Blanca. That’s probably the way to go there.

We’ve also discovered, via hi5, that Zeuxis is the correct spelling for the new woman.

While I’m at it, and just noticed they’re up, here’s next week’s lineups:

You may also note their luchador section, freshly updated. In a lot of ways, they’ve got more info than the DF CMLL site.

CMLL (SUN) 06/07 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Molotov & Trueno vs Puma King & Tiger Kid
2) Marcela, Sahori, Zeuxis vs Hiroka, La Nazi, Magnifica
3) Mascara Dorada, Stuka Jr., Valiente vs Euforia, Nosferatu, Virus
4) Blue Panther, Shocker, Volador Jr. vs Atlantis, Dos Caras Jr., Ultimo Guerrero
5) Mistico vs Felino

Most of this was already posted, I think, but the main event is new. The 50th Anniversary of this building is coming up before the end of the month, and there’s been talk the last couple days CMLL might do Mistico vs Felino. I’ve not paid much mind to it, because there didn’t seem to be any build in that direction. That there is build to it, perhaps.

CMLL (TUE) 06/09 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Astaroth vs Skaxy
2) Idolo vs Angel del Mal
3) Exterminador vs Magnum
4) Casanova & Leon Blanco vs Asesino Negro & Dragon
5) Lady Apache, Marcela, Zeuxis vs Magnifica, Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sujei
6) Hector Garza & Maximo vs Dos Caras Jr. & Mephisto

The big issue here is I can’t figure out if Skaxy is supposed to be a rudo or tecnico. In things that actually matter, there’s more Blanca/Apache (and Zeuxis again), plus no Neutron or Mr. Trueno and they usually run 7 matches on Tuesdays. Hmmmm.

IWRG (SUN) 05/31 Arena Naucalpan [the Gladiatores]
1) Comando Negro b Sangre Latina
2) Exodia & Galactik b Latino & Mixteco Jr.
3) Avisman, Black Thunder, Tetsuya Bushi b Chico Che, Freelance, Turbo
4) Negro Navarro, Trauma I, Trauma II b Angelico, Ricky Cruzz, Zatura
5) Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro b Fuerza Guerrera, Juventud Guerrera, Veneno

Dr. Cerebro snuck in a foul on Juvi for the final fall. The two teams made lots of challenges after the match.

CMLL (TUE) 06/02 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [SuperLuchas]
6) Terrible & Texano Jr. b Mictlan & Shocker [OCCIDENTE TAG]

Champions retained. Rudos pinned Shocker, but Mictlan managed to beat Texano Jr. He could’ve beat Terrible, but Texano helped him out and Terrible grabbed the ropes on a pin.

TripleMania will cost 219MP ($16.40 US). That’s not too bad. I might pay that much to have someone order it, set up a camera, and put in on justin.tv or wherever to guarantee I’d see it. (Of course, we might get that all for free.)

Rey Bucanero is vowing to unmask Ephesto when he returns. He’s disappointed about being out, losing his title, and losing out on the champions tournament.

A preview of that champs tournament talks Hijo de Fantasma, Hector Garza, and Negro Casas about their chances, credits Mistico with the wrong title.

In addition to Sandokan, Panamaian wrestlers Ventarron, Alma Negra, Chamaco Castro and el Idolo were all honored by the countries’ Institute of Sports.

The Gladiatores has a video interview with Hermano Muerte Jr..
