CMLL (SUN) 09/06 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
0) Nocturno b Johnny Dinamo
1) Fraile de la Muerte & Titanio b Astaroth & Virgo
2) Angelo & Metatron b Acertijo & Rafaga
3) Gallo, Hierro, Metal Blanco b Angel del Mal, Asesino Negro, Leon Blanco
4) La Sombra, Shocker, Valiente b Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas
5) Averno b Blue Panther [NWA MIDDLE]

Panther took the first, Averno took the second. Panther grabbed Averno in the fujiwara in the third, Averno gave up, and the referee signaled the win…then noticed Averno’s foot had been outside the ring, so the hold should’ve been broken. Panther was too busy celebrating to realize what had happened, and Averno pulled him in the same armbar for the submission. Fuego interviewed all three people involved in the decision, though you can probably work out what they said. Referee says it’s Panther’s own fault for premature celebration.

Valiente replaced Volador.

Who’s the new CMLL opening match wrestler?

I think I could spin this bit off into it’s own blog. Typos on websites happen all the time – I don’t want to go read that DG recap, because I can only imagine. However, when the identity of the debuting wrestler has been a source of confusion for a week, it’d nice when it’s put to rest. CMLL goes the other way:

I’ll stop now, I promise. (Unless it’s really bad.)

US: 10/10

Not a lot of angles on this show.

The only really big news coming out of this show was the title change in the second match. Sexi Star interfered, trying to hit Fabi with a chair, and got Cinthia instead. Fabi took advantage for the win. AAA also posted the note officially saying Oriental is done here. Credit to LuchandoLibre for finding that out weeks in advance. Seems like Cinthia is staying. With Esther coming is as a tecnico and a whole bunch of foreign rudos to feud with, maybe this inadvertent chair shot leads to Cinthia being back on the tecnica side. Fabi & Mari can only feud with so many people at one time.

Report says the crowd was 100% against Dr. Wagner in the main event. Gronda and Gronda only wrestled a little bit in their match. Charly bled a lot, again. Decnnis took out Mari with a Michinoku Driver, which means Billy surely owes him.

Next taping is 09/18 in Puebla. Probably won’t get a lineup for that until next week from AAA, but maybe it’ll turn up elsewhere. They’re hinting we may get the Pena lineup soon, but that show is still 3 weeks away.

Edit: See, typos happen to me too.

09/06 Dragon Gate USA @ Congress Theater

On the way home, I grabbed the healthiest dinner imaginable at 10pm on a Sunday night – steak quesadilla from Taco Bell with a giant Mountain Dew. Seeing as I won’t be sleeping ever again, I figure I might use my time a bit wisely and get this written up while I’m still thinking about it.

non spoiler summary: Dragon Gate USA’s debut show in Chicago was a very strong show. I’ve watched next to nil indy wrestling this year and I’m not big on star ratings, so your millage may vary. To my eyes, it had a match I thought was match of the year caliber, and it also had match which everyone in the world will think is MOTYC. There were three more pretty good matches and a couple OK match. If you’re interested in this style of wrestling, you’ll be very satisfied with the PPV and the DVD, and I’d highly recommend people checking out the next show in Chicago (01/23/10).

The rest of this is going to be the usual 50,000 words length. You’ve been warned.
