IWRG, Mexico preview, Perro Jr.

thecubsfan news

IWRG (THU) 09/03 Arena Naucalpan [Black Terry Jr. & Pics, twitter/gladiatores]
1) Talisman Jr. b Terry Brow
2) Blasfemia & Vampiro Metálico b Exodia & Miss Gaviota
3) Bushi, Chico Che, Freelance b Avisman, Brandon (IWRG), Gringo Loco
4) Head Hunter I & Toxico DF b Bobby Lee Jr. & Scorpio Jr.
5) Sangre Chicana b Villano III

Brandon is a random masked fill in, since whichever Espanto Jr. who was supposed to be here never actually was.

Previews of tonight’s show: Notimex, Ovaciones. All the focus is on Negro/Mistico’s singles match, two weeks from when it really matters. Gotta figure next week is Lyger on top in a trios just to do a special attraction to get people to come out.  There’s a lot of good matches on the undercard tonight, but nothing else in terms of story.

Perro Aguayo Jr. defended Rey Misterio Jr., saying criticism wasn’t fair, because it wasn’t due to prohibiting substances – just substances he wasn’t allowed to use without getting his doctor’s permission. That doesn’t quite work, but OK. Also, when asked, Perro didn’t want to pick a winner between Mistico & Negro, but “ultimately mention that if Mistico lost, he and Los Perros would all shave their heads in solidarity.”

Call me crazy, but I wouldn’t think Perro would do an interview just to promote Rey Misterio and Mistico. You have to hunt around for it, but it turns out Perro Aguayo Jr. was actually speaking to a group of entrepreneurs about business. His basic message was I thought I was a rudo, until I started dealing with businessmen. Perro always likes competition, but not the unfair stuff he’s dealt with – competitors taking down his posters or scheduling another show at the same building with lower prices. This probably is an interesting talk, but I hope he’s figured out the needing-TV thing. Sunday’s show really made me wish Perro and company had figured this out a whole better.

Preview for a 10/03 CMLL spot shows seems to think Mistico & Volador are the tag champs, or just needs loses something in the translation.

ESTO has an article about the fourth season of ImprvoLucha.

Segunda Caida checks in on IWRG from August 20, 2009.

Last night’s Slammin’ Stan #11 is up. And just when I caught up…

Edit: Pueba lineup…

CMLL (MON) 09/07 Arena Puebla
1) Blue Center, Lestat, Milenium vs Alarido, Espiritu Maligno, Fuerza Chicana
2) Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Horus vs Durango Kid, Escorpion, Turbo
3) Hiroka, Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sujei vs Dark Angel, Lady Apache, Marcela
4) Atlantis, Misterioso II, Último Guerrero vs La Sombra, Toscano, Volador Jr.
5) Shocker vs Yujiro

Main event is not a hair match, but may be for a Copa Puebla.

For a guy who tore a muscle in his leg, Toscano sure is wrestling a lot.

Turbo continues on, so tonight’s not all or nothing.

Milenium and Alarido appear to be new Puebla wrestlers, which can’t be right. I wonder if they’re guys who just haven’t worked in 10 years (like Guerrero Mantis.) The name “Milenium” sure suggests someone who got it a while ago (there’s a Milenium listed as working Puebla in ’98), or is way ahead of his time.

    The Segunda has to make TV, just for Turbo & Durango Kid. maybe the Semifinal aswell just for La Sombra, Volador,& Misterioso.

  2. Nice Puebla lineup! Let’s get that women’s match or main event edited out and we’ve got an excellent show!

    So Misterioso II is still in nowheresland, huh? I could have sworn he was one of the main members of Los Hijos Del Averno… he sure seems with them enough. But here he is with Los Guerreros… the enemies of Los HdA. At least he gets to work with Volador which is always a blast.

    BTW, the name Milenium rules although he should try and spell it the right way. (I think the 1998 one was Gato Volador in one of his many gimmicks)

  5. I think LLL pointed this out earlier in the week, but no Noche de Punos on TDN this weekend due to soccer. Doesn’t look like there are any of the normal replays either, so Turbo’s match and the Lightning match are almost certainly lost to the world. Supposed to be back next week though.

    Humbling recognition!
