09/05-06 Lucha Times

box. I have no idea what’s going on this week, I don’t even know why you’re reading this post.

AAA-US: So. Lucha Libre is on the schedule. What lucha libre? This was the week where AAA didn’t air in Mexico, which suggests a rerun. As always, we hope they just go to the next episode (which is listed) and they never do.

52MX: Probably Poder Mexica/Lizmark vs Metro/Mascara/Sagrada and Atlantis/Warrior/Neibal vs Sombra/Shocker/Volador

CMLL: top 3, though maybe they don’t give away Negro Casas vs Mistico on TV unless they have a really strong build to the anniversary match?

AAA-MEX: No real good idea here, because it’s week one of Verano de Escandalo and they can pick and choose. Guessing this is the week with the four way hair match, but dunno.

CMLL-FSE: Yea, let’s just assume it’s on. May find out. IWGP match should turn up here, plus Tuareg vs Fabian/Leono/Cometa

C3: Super Sky Team vs Peste Negra/UG, plus Trios Champs vs Trio de Terror, with a post match something. (CMLL mentioned nothing about a big match when they got their text up, so…)

Puebla: CMLL Trios title defended. Probably no segunda.

Monterrey: Ninja and family!

Trios champs retain in Puebla, mask/hair match set up in Mexico (maybe), Koslov

CMLL (MON) 08/31 Arena Puebla [El Manana]
5) Héctor Garza, Hijo del Fantasma, La Máscara b Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas [CMLL TRIOS]

Rudos took the first, tecnicos took the second, Negro beat Fantasma, but Mascara & Garza beat Negro & Niebla for the succesful defence.

CMLL (TUE) 09/01 Arena Mexico [Record, ESTO]
1) Escorpion & Semental ?? Diamante & Molotov
2) Guerrero Maya Jr., Metálico, Tigre Blanco DQ Hooligan, Pólvora, Tiger Kid
3) Euforia, Nosferatu, Skándalo b Fabián el Gitano, Pegasso, Rey Cometa
4) Héctor Garza, Hijo del Fantasma, La Máscara DQ Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
5) La Sombra, Místico, Volador Jr. b Felino, Mr. Niebla, Último Guerrero

Record notes Mistico hasn’t lost since the Anniversary match was announced. Mistico got Niebla here.

Mephisto fouled Hector Garza, which led to the tecnicos challenging for mask vs hairs match, which is normal. According to Record, the rudos actually accepted, which is very much not normal. ESTO just has the challenge, and CMLL hasn’t said anything on their website. (They updated the photos on the Tuesday recap this morning, but not so much the text.)

No word on the DQ in the second match, but at least Guerrero Maya’s injury from Friday doesn’t seem severe. No result for the opener, but Escorpion is clearly Escorpion Negro. He’s still wearing his Metrosexual gear – maybe Shocker can recruit him for the Guapos too!

CMLL (TUE) 09/01 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Idolo & Thunder Boy b Relampago & Skaxy
2) Ebola & In Memoria b El Divino & Magnum
3) Neutrón & Palacio Negro b Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno
4) Flash, Mictlán, Stuka Jr. DQ Máscara Mágica, Misterioso II, Vangelis
5) Terrible & Texano Jr. b Shocker & Toscano

Terrible got the deciding pin on Toscano with his feet on the ropes. Mascara Magica destroyed Mictlan again, making him bleeding and fouling him for the DQ.

AAA “reminds us” (of something none of who weren’t there have seen yet): Konnan vowed to return for the Antontio Pena show, which I take just to mean he won’t be on this weekend’s taping. AAA also catches up with Sugi, who’s knee injury is not serious but he says it’s the first one he’s ever had, and posts the obligatory we wish Alex well in his future endovers post. Meanwhile, Alex writes about Hector stealing his stop sign and the joy of blasting people via the press. This explains 90% of Mistico’s interviews.

Cesar guesses John Strongman will be successful, but won’t be around long.

Ras de Lona #61 is 90% about the anniversary show.
