IWRG (THU) 11/12 Arena Naucalpan [Al Filo del Ring]
1) Dinamic Black vs Comando Negro
2) Eragon & Star Boy b Epidemia & Heavy Boy
3) Bushi, Chico Che, Freelance b Avisman, Cerebro Negro, Gringo Loco
4) Arlequin Amarillo, Arlequin Negro, Arlequin Rojo b Jack, Trauma I, Trauma II
5) Hijo del Lizmark, Ultramán Jr., Zatura DQ Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro
Lizmark fouled 911, then faked his own foul to get the win. He’s a tecnico here, or at least that was the thought. Arlequin Negro replaced Arlequin Verde; no word on how that changed the betting line in Vegas.
Judging from the pictures on CMLL.com, Sunday’s special discounted Arena Mexico show did not draw at all. That shot is worse than most, but it does seem like CMLL’s reached the point where people aren’t even showing up for the cheap shows. Next Sunday Arena Mexico show is 12/13.
SuperLuchas says NJPW officals (president Naoki Sugabayashi, referee & booker Tiger Hattori – I didn’t know he was booker) are in Mexico this week to talk to CMLL about plans for 2010. According to the article, it’s CMLL who is looking for longer tours for it’s wrestlers, because flying a guy out and back for one show is expensive. Always figured it was the other way, where CMLL didn’t want to lose a Mistico for a week or two, but maybe it’s not been there call. The hope is there’d be much more cross pollination between the two companies next year, but they’ve clearly got to work on a few things.
AAA has a special sneak peak of the AAA movie today. It’s taking place at an unnamed mall in Mexico City, which makes it tough to actually go to. But they may have info today.
Al Filo del Ring posts a YouTube clip of Cibernetico singing with a band on a morning show. I think Cibernetico is a better wrestler than he is a singer.
Cesar looks at the CMLL comeback of the year and the CMLL concept of the year. I refuse to acknowledge end of the year awards in November!

Diamo del Sur (via Zarco @ box y lucha) writes about retired wrestler Japaones Volador.
Ohtani’s Jacket checks out last week’s IWRG show. With a whole batch of lucha libre carrying Spanish language channels getting picked up many places around the country over this month, we’re about to see an increase in lucha libre ripped to YouTube and elsewhere. (If nothing else, I’ll probably end up doing it. Assuming Comcast gives me those channels Thursday.)
