Schedule:
- Video links will go up tonight
- Trying for Tapatia awards to be up on Thursday
- Recaps maybe coming this week? Less sure.
IWRG (SUN) 03/07 Arena Naucalpan [Estrellas del Ring, Black Terry Jr.]
1) Alan Extreme b Héros
2) Brazo Metalico Jr., Daga, Eragon b Hijo del Signo, Maldito Jr., Samoth
3) Oficial 911, Trauma I, Trauma II b Freelance, Jack, Ultramán Jr.
4) Avisman, El Hijo del Diablo, Gringo Loco b Black Terry, Chico Che, Dr. Cerebro
5) Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Scorpio Jr., Veneno b Angelico, el Ángel, Tinieblas Jr.
This was the show with Dhani Jones getting into it with MA2K Jr. Semimain was a brawl with the two teams tearing up the building. Ultraman Jr. was hurt on a dive in a tercera.
AAA (SUN) 03/07 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [Estrellas del Ring]
1) Angelica & Mari Apache b Hija de Karonte & Sexy Star
2) Tigre Cota & Tito Santana b Angel Dorado Jr. & Sky [AAA NORTH TAG]
3) Babe Rap, Máscara Púrpura, Pimpinela Escarlata b Androide, Rey Sagitario, Rió Bravo
4) Aerostar, El Elegido, Laredo Kid b Cuervo, Escoria, Ozz
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., Silver King DQ Black Warrior, El Mesías, La Parka Jr.
Wagner got in a foul on Mesias without the ref seeing, but Parka got caught fouling Silver King for the DQ. Poder del Norte won the tag team titles in the segunda; I really need to make a title history for that on the wiki. Tercera was aid to be very good.
CMLL (MON) 03/08 Arena Puebla [R de Rudo]
1) Fuerza Chicana & Siki Ozama Jr. b Black Tiger & Tigre Rojo
2) Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Skándalo b Ángel Azteca Jr., Astro Boy, Trueno
3) Asturiano, Bam Bam, Mr. Rafaga DQ Pequeño Universo 2000, Pequeño Violencia, Pierrothito
4) Blue Panther, Máscara Dorada, Shocker b Ray Mendoza Jr., Shigeo Okumura, Taichi
5) Atlantis, Místico, Rey Bucanero DQ Máximo, Mr. Niebla, Volador Jr.
Mistico fouled Volador for the DQ in the main, as you’d expect. Looks like a strong turnout. No word on the DQ in the tercera, but presumably Violencia fouled Bam Bam since the two were challenging each other after the match. The twist is it wasn’t a title challenge, but one for the hairs.
Today’s CMLL show features the Maximo & Mr. Niebla on the rudo side. Why is Niebla wearing a Canada jersey in that picture?
The La Quebrada column says the CMLL minis are unhappy about not being on Dos Leyendas. Which is now kind of obvious now that I write it out.
SuperLuchas notes the prices for Dos Leyendas tickets: from $90 ringside to as little as $8 for GA. I’m thinking they won’t be doing the 5 on 1 ticket deal here.
The world going on Mascarita Dorada’s new name is he’ll be Mascarita Plateda, a mini Santo without actually using that name.
AAA notes the Psycho Circus will be lumberjacks for the Cibernetico/Konnan match. The interview with Psycho Clown makes it sound like the Legion will not be at ringside, which is a bit hard to believe. Normally, it’d be half Cibernetico guys and half Konnan guys, and that ensuing fight would be a fine destruction. They also continue posting Rob’s Rey de Reyes videos.
La Mascara tells Fuego that he’s excited to team with his father. As noted elsewhere – CMLL originally annoucned this week’s main event would be a repeat of the last two, but they’ve since subbed out Mascara Dorada and put this La Mascara in his place. Not that it really makes a difference.
Ultimo Guerrero wants a shot at the CMLL World Trios championships, noting titles are there to be defended, and he’s defended his a bunch lately.
Shockercito @ Box Y Lucha has an interview with Super Mega.
Perros del Mal has a 6 minute video hyping up their promotion.
LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update.

I know Im not the only one here who is tired of Psycho Circus and their BS win streak. You know they are going to turn on Cibernetico and all of a sudden claim they are part of the legion because they are cuban or canadian.
Anyone else not surprised TNA did not announce the AAA agreement on Monday Night? I wonder how they are going transition Hernandez out of the Tag Titles and down to AAA. I for one hope they dont do a beat down/injury since it does not benefit AAA to get a guy who just got his ass kicked.
Thinking about CMLL…
I think Mr. Niebla would benefit from wearing a Team Canada jersey ALL the time. Because really, who wouldn’t?
So I see Angelica replaced Goddess in the opener Sunday. I wonder if she’s done with AAA?
@Tim: They are still listing her on lineups, so she could’ve just been hurt. But those bookings can’t be paying too much, so maybe she had enough.
2:1 = had appointment at free clinic
3:1 = busy getting gangbanged by all the local promoters
4:1 = was in no condition to work since she couldn’t stop itching down there
6:1 = slept in after getting gangbanged by all the local promoters
1,000,000,000,000:1 = stayed home to be a good mom
This is just in:
Chessman & Ozz will be wrestling on AJPW’s March 21st Sumo Hall show. They’ll be taking on KIYOSHI & BUSHI.
@Phil Lions: Random greatness!
@Phil Lions: that match looks GREAT! :D
AWESOME! Anything to salvage those two from the crap that is AAA works for me. I hope they lose their tickets back to Mexico.
Aren’t AAA and NOAH working together though? The awful fatass who fought Mesias was a NOAH guy.
@Rob: i hate that fat guy! couldnt they just have bought in ishimori on that date?
if noah and aaa are working together does that mean we could see ricky marvin in aaa soon?
@Rob: Morishima and Ishimori are back next week. But I don’t think it’s an exclusive alliance or anything, and it’s not like NOAH’s bringing in AAA talent.
IWRG is getting slightly passed over here, since they take all the AJPW trainees – the two guys Ozz & Chessman are wrestling are the last two guys to come in.
Morishima is a perfectly acceptable Japanese big-man. He just got labled as “sucking” by the ROHbots angry that he had the ROH title and was booked as an unstoppable monster.
I thought Kiyoshi was working for TNA? Did he quit when the Hogan regime took over?
@Nikita: they can have shows in japan? right?
@Nikita: i just realized that the tna ppv is on that same day so he can damn well be fired.
Fuego en el Ring says Vangelis replaced Taichi on Monday in Puebla.
@CM93: Well, usually when the Japanese send over a guy for a “learning excursion” they do not go back and work in Japan until the excursion is over.
So, I figured if he was back in AJPW, he was done in TNA.
Kiyoshi’s still with TNA. That’s just a one-shot deal for him. At least it looks that way since he’s not scheduled for the rest of the tour. If I’m not mistaken that’s his second (or third) All Japan appearance since he started with TNA. With that being said, I believe Kiyoshi’s contract with TNA is set to expire some time later this year and I doubt it he’ll be getting a new contract.
AAA guys randomly popping up in All Japan is indeed a bit strange given AAA’s relationship with NOAH. Oh well, I’m not complaining. It should be fun to see Chessman & Ozz in Japan.
Btw, Super Crazy’s also working the show but there’s no surprise there since he regularly does tours with All Japan.
