CMLL (TUE) 02/16 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Acertijo b Relampago
2) Ángel del Mal & Exterminador b Astaroth & Idolo
3) Asesino Negro & Mr. Trueno b Hierro & Neutrón
4) Gallo, Metro, Rouge b Dragon Rojo Jr., Máscara Mágica, Sangre Azteca
5) Máximo & Mr. Niebla b Naito & Taichi
Recap says Maximo & Niebla joined forces, bodies, and lips to win their match. That’s definitely a Too Much Information situation. (Mr. Niebla’s explanation: I’m eccentric!) Taichi’s hair seems to have changed a little, but it still is remarkable ridiculous.
Upon arriving, Taichi told the press that he plans on being in Mexico five months or so. Two years, five months, we’ve definitely established Taichi will be in Mexico for a period of time that is longer than a day and shorter than a century.
CMLL (TUE) 02/16 Arena Mexico [CMLL]
1) Disturbio & Semental b Camaleón & Robin Hood Jr.
2) Bronco, Durango Kid, Inquisidor b Horus, Metatrón, Trueno
3) Fuego, Molotov, Sensei DQ Nosferatu, Pólvora, Raziel
4) Ephesto, Terrible, Texano Jr. b Blue Panther, Toscano, Valiente
5) Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero b Brazo de Plata, La Sombra, Shocker
Rey Bucanero pinned Shocker, and the CMLL recap says they’re close to a hair match. What? Record says Rey had the ropes.
Toscano pinned Terrible to win the semimain, which surely means CMLL should’ve sent Toscano & Valiente after those tag team titles. Or, jet lag sucks. Rudos actually won this, fixed the result
Tecnicos won the tercera in straight falls, Nosferatu pulling Fuego’s mask in the second. Hmmm.
“Robin” is Robin Hood Jr., as introduced on Ras de Lona a while back.
AAA announced they’ll be returning to Gimnasio Juan de la Barrera in Mexico City, site of many an 90s AAA TV taping, on 03/19 for a special show, “which major surprises planned.” (I think that means TV taping) March 19th is also probably the night of CMLL’s Dos Leyendas, so it’ll be quite a heads up battle.
Today in Mistico stories, Ovaciones interviews fans about Mistico. All quoted are disappointed in Mistico for his behavior, one suggesting Mistico may have kept the light heavyweight belt to sell it on the street. Also, Shocker, Sombra, and Sagrado have turned their back on Mistico for not giving the title back. Averno and crew are the only ones who think highly of Mistico’s actions, but they don’t consider him a true rudo or member of their group either.
El Occidental says Arena Coliseo Guadalajara had a sell out for Sunday’s Mistico/Volador match. Meanwhile, Mistico is a wanted man.
Tickets go on sale this afternoon for the AAA TV taping in Toluca, with Mesias, Chessman and Laredo signing autographs.
Damian 666 talks about working in New York this weekend. He appears to be referring to these shows from Valiente Entertainment, who really ought to make their myspace photos public. Cassandro, Super Parka and Magno are also visible (though this was the group that promised Cassandro last time and didn’t have him), and Damian hope to talk the promoter into using more Perros del Mal talent (Mr. Aguila, Super Nova, Turbo, Leo) on future shows.
Cesar points out there is really no CMLL or AAA/TNA deal if all it is a couple people of minor important who happen to work in both places.
The Gladiatores has video interviews with el Angel, Kato Kung Lee, and the EAW promoters.
Cronicas Y Leyendas looks back at WWF coming to AAA, and Emilio Charles Jr. taking Miguel Perez’s hair.
Ohtani’s Jacket reviews matches from AULL, IWRG, and other locales! Maybe there should be a Tapatia award for best cameraman.

The pictures on CMLL.com are deceiving but the rudos won the semi-main so no worries about a Valiente/Toscano team.
Interesting to see AAA back at Juan de la Barrera, and throwing competition against CMLL, on a night CMLL will draw a big gate.
Will CMLL run Anniversary on 3/26 instead?
Is someone major jumping that night?
Is AAA testing the waters, and planning on re-starting the “Friday Night Wars”?
Where is Daniel to comment on AAA getting a good rating with Latin Lover on top?
@LLL: do you mean dos leyaendas?
DONT JINX IT! HE MIGHT HEAR YOU!
is it true teddy hart got suspended from aaa?
@CM93: I think Cubs answered “yes” to Teddy being suspended.
I meant Dos Leyendas.
@LLL: I don’t expect that CMLL will change their date. They seem to view this type of thing as infringing on their “right” to have lucha on Friday’s in Mexico City, so if anything I would bet that they stack the card even more than they would have otherwise. Hopefully they will both put up interesting cards and make it a tough decision for fans in Mexico City.
Hey Cubs has ACM stopped running Sunday shows till the 28th?
@Tim: I was just about to ask that.
I’ve been missing ACM lineups and results lately so I thought I missed this Sunday’s too until I saw KrisZ didn’t have it either.
