Day: September 18, 2009

Hi!

The CMLL show should be underway, and there looks to be at least one site doing actual live results

• http://alexiscmll76.blogspot.com/
• SuperLuchas too

Going to do start an actual chat, but probably not until we actually get a radio show to listen to. (Radio show feed is mms://63.99.225.140/estadiow but not supposed to broadcasting the show until the final 2.)  Until then, feel free to comment in the comments.

For those who are in Mexico and/or otherwise have access to Televisa Deportes Network, they’ll be going on the air at 10:30 pm to broadcast the semimain the opener. That should be about when the radio picks up as well.

Some more links while we wait:

• LuchandoLibre says no one’s seen Shocker since Wednesday. Maybe he’s just really sad Mascara Magica lost? (No, probably not.)
• Cesar previews the top two matches

There are 3 minutes left in UAMGuadalajara vs Morelia, and announcers seem more excited about Mistico/Negro than this game.

Results below these words

Results:
1) Dark Angel & Lady Apache vs Amapola & Hiroka (1-0!)
– this match ended up airing on TDN, not the semimain.
2) Bam Bam, Eléctrico, Pequeño Olímpico b Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Warrior, Pierrothito b – Bam Bam got strechered out. Had the finish wrong here originally.
3) Hijo del Fantasma, Máscara Dorada, Sagrado b Dragon Rojo Jr., Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca

Soccer game just wrapped, thought post game will be a while.

Lucha is on the air! Guess I should get that chat started.

Chat is finished – thanks for coming!

4) La Máscara, La Sombra, Volador Jr. DQ Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
– Rudos take the first (somehow)
– Mascara wins the second with a campana
– Averno pulls Volador’s mask for the DQ.
– Volador got stretched out and had a oxygen mask on, but it apparently wasn’t that dire.

5) Black Warrior, Héctor Garza, Shocker, Atlantis, Último Guerrero b Jushin Liger, Naito, Shigeo Okumura, Yujiro
– Shocker is not here for reasons outside the control of CMLL, we’re told
– Japan takes fall 1, Mexico fall 2
– Liger pins UG, with his feet on the ropes?
– challenges after the match, though UG is at least the third taking a strecher ride. Brainbuster set it up.

6) Místico vs Negro Casas [mask, hair]
– this match will NOT air tomorrow on TV; they’re holding back for a month or two
– Felino is in Negro’s corner. Sombra is with Mistico.
– Mistico takes fall one in about 6.
– Negro takes fall two in 7. With a little extra help.
– Mistico pins Negro in fall 3, after about 14 minutes. That’s the win.
– Mistico challenges Felino (and hits him with the trash can) after the match. Why not.

It’s hours away from the moment everyone’s been waiting for: the IWRG Super Weletweight Champion squares off against the IWRG Middleweight Champion in a battle. Also, masks, hair, pride, country, other things that do not matter as much as IWRG’s Super Welterweight championship.

PREVIEWS
– Ovaciones – is that a scam-ish looking ad on the right side of the page? Weird.
– LuchandoLibre: women, minis, tercera, cuarta, semimain, main event
– Box Y Lucha matches up the main event competitors, and quotes Negro as saying Niebla & Felino will NOT get involved in tonight’s match.
– Slammin Stan’s podcast with Dr. Lucha and Bix – and discussion of my horrific Hamlet post from yesterday. Every other thing I post should be deleted, and the other half should be slowly deleted.
– ESTO, who has a list of wrestlers they’re surprised didn’t make the card: Shocker, Blue Panther, Perro Aguayo Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., LA Park, and Los Villanos. It is kinda odd to realize the main event guys from last year aren’t even on this show, but some of those names…
– El Universal
– notimex
– Estadio Deportes
– I didn’t ever see Cesar’s previews for the top 2, but I’ll add them in when I see them.

As both ESTO and Ovaciones pick up, Atlantis is now on the show, taking Shocker’s place. There’s no explanation given, but I’m guessing they both just got today’s ad for the show (CMLL advertises both), noticed the change in the semimain, and that’s all we know.

Shocker wrestled in Guadalajara Wednesday, a show that got a lot more attention than usual because of Liger, and no one said anything about Shocker being hurt. If it was just an injury, he’ll probably make an appearance before his scheduled match tonight. If Shocker does not appear, that’s a really bad sign. CMLL appeared to be booking to Yujiro/Warrior and then Shocker/Garza vs No Limit, which would be up in the air.

Otherwise, nothing going on. At all!

CMLL (WED) 09/16 Auditorio Miguel Barragan [El Mojado @ el martinete]
1) Calígula & Méssala b As Jr. & Guerrero Maya Jr.
2) Astro Boy, Pegasso, Rey Cometa b Euforia, Nosferatu, Virus
3) Bam Bam & Mascarita Dorada b Pequeño Damian 666 & Pequeño Warrior
4) Heavy Metal, Terrible, Texano Jr. b Sagrado, Stuka Jr., Valiente
5) La Sombra, Místico, Volador Jr. DQ Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas

Negro got DQed for taking Mistico’s mask. A little ahead of schedule there. Valiente & Astro Boy are swapped from what we had, but that was likely a mistake. Photos at the link.

There’s an exhibit of lucha libre artwork in Corpus Christi, Texas, until October 9th.

1) Johnny Paradise & Peter Avalon vs Blood Eagle & Sindarin
2) Golen Scorpio & Original Gangsta vs Aguila Azteca & Jaguar de Oro
3) Cholo, Phoenix Star, Zokre vs Guerreor de Sangre, Nemesis, Ronny
4) Sombra Infernal vs Rayo de Plata
5) Enigma de Oro & Kayam vs Mercurio & Mercurio Jr.
6) Binoci, Piloto Suicida, Principe Unlimted vs Impacto 2000, Poison, Septiembre Negro Jr.
7) Hijo del Misterio, Huracan Ramriez Jr., Sombra Vengadora Jr. vs Acero Dorado, Dr. Maldad, Shamu Jr.
