CMLL (FRI) 03/12 Arena Mexico [SuperLuchas]
1) Metálico & Tigre Blanco b Camorra & Durango Kid
2) Dr. X, Hooligan, Nitro b Delta, Diamante, Guerrero Maya Jr.
3) Bracito de Oro DQ Pequeño Warrior [lightning]
4) Fuego, Rush, Stuka Jr. b Euforia, Pólvora, Virus
5) Atlantis, Mr. Niebla, Último Guerrero DQ Blue Panther, Brazo de Plata, Héctor Garza
6) Felino, Místico, Negro Casas b La Máscara, La Sombra, Volador Jr.
Tecnico took the first (campana on Casas, guillotine legdrop on Felino), rudos took the second (Felino on Sombra, Negro on Volador). Mistico was about to finish Volador in the third, but Felino swooped in and stole the pin with a casita. Mistico was unhappy, Sombra & Volador were unhappy about losing, Felino was loving life. Sombra was limping late in the match due to his big toe injury; they really should have him protected that left foot all week.
Ultimo Guerrero faked a foul from Garza for the DQ. Warrior pulled off Oro’s mask for the DQ in that match.
Lots of hurt people beyond Sombra: Euforia & Stuka hurt after a Stuka dive, Bracito de Oro cut on the arm during his match, Dr. X limping thru the second half of his match.
LA Park promo from after last night’s AAA show.
SuperLuchas has a big detailed preview of Dos Leyendas, which is great if a week early.
How concerned is CMLL about Blue Demon “stripping” them of the NWA title? It took ten days for someone to even get a quote from CMLL about it. Mephisto (also here) says he won his belt in the ring, so he clearly still is champion, none of this tournament nonsense. He’d be open to defending the title against people outside the promotion who were up to the standards of the title match, but only people in CMLL are really up to those standards.
A BBC host talks about wrestling Princesa Sujei.
Espectrito talks about the death of his brothers. Box Y Lucha also has an interview with Alex Koslov, interviews with Guadalajara independent luchadoras,
DJ Spectro looks back at the 44th Annniversary show. Lesson learned this morning: never open 8 DJ Spectro pages at once unless you want your computer to grind to a halt for an hour.
Cronicas Y Leyendas looks back at Villano I wrestling despite his father’s wishes, and Signo losing his hair to Latin Lover.
Coco Amarillo Jr. opened a lucha school in Comalcalco.
Lineups
CMLL (TUE) 03/16 Arena Mexico
1) Bengala, Principe, Robin vs Cholo, Semental, Zayco
2) Eléctrico vs Shockercito, Bracito de Oro, Fantasy, Último Dragoncito, Pequeño Warrior, Pequeño Nitro, Pequeño Violencia, Astral, Pequeño Universo 2000 [cibernetico]
3) Amapola vs Marcela [CMLL WOMEN]
4) Hijo del Fantasma, Metro, Sagrado vs Averno, Ephesto, Shigeo Okumura
5) Shocker vs Rey Bucanero
Very peculiar card; it’s one they’d run if there was someone to run against, though I’m not sure who that’d be. Bam Bam, Damian, Pierrothito and Olimpico are all notable missing from the cibernetico; it’s like the best of the rest. Astral is oddly listed with the rudos, just to make the numbers work. Should be a pretty good show, but I wonder what caused it.
Friday’s card you know.
CMLL (SUN) 03/21 Arena Coliseo
1) Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II vs Camorra & Mortis
2) Astro Boy, Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr. vs Bronco, Puma King, Tiger Kid
3) Ángel de Oro, Ángel de Plata, Rush vs Dr. X, Hooligan, Nitro
4) Hijo del Fantasma, Toscano, Valiente vs Euforia, Shigeo Okumura, Vangelis
5) Blue Panther, Héctor Garza, Místico vs Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas, Taichi
Again, Mistico goes back to being a tecnico (or at least being on the tecnico side) when Volador is not around. Don’t really see how that works but I guess we’ll find out. Mortis is new; there’s one in Tijuana, no idea if this is him or if this is just a fake out.

The editing on next week’s LATV show will be interesting considering they’ll only have 15 minutes of wrestling to work with. I’m betting the 4 minute Lightning Match gets a commercial break.
Tuesday’s card looks so fun but I’m thinking only the top three air. Weird to see them using the fan appreciation shows to set up the following week.
TJ Mortiz coming in with Rey Sr.’s kid would make sense.
As expected, Fox Sports gets the minis (and presumably the main).

@Alan: While youtube gets TURBO VS BLACK THUNDER RELOADED!
CMLL opens with the minis lightning.
Wow what a gash on Bracito’s arm. LOL at Tigere shoving Worrior at the end of the minis match.
How did Bracito hurt his arm?
Cancerberos match isn’t airing
I just realized next week’s show won’t be televised so it makes send they are holding back matches to fill up time.
Looks like it was from the dive through the 2nd and 3rd rope. He was favoring it as soon as they got back in the ring. It looked like Worrior must have gotten word from Bracito to end the match. Since out of nowhere he just ripped his mask off.
send = sense. DUH.
LOL & Nice effort from Porky trying to work fast. Announcers are claiming Porky has lost 30 kilos!!
I wonder if the commission even cares about Porky being obese? Why bother trying to tell everyone he’s losing weight. He looks fatter now than ever.
Ah hell no, it looks like they are trying to set up a Porky vs UG program. I hope not there are to many guys who deserve a spot ahead of this Fat Fuck.

52MX has
Fabian el Gitano & Leono DQ Puma King & Tiger Kid
Terrible, Texano Jr., Vangelis b Mascara Dorada, Rush, Toscano
I don’t remember the shot of Mephisto holding up the NWA belt in the intros before, but I’m not going to check. Story is more amusing that way.
@thecubsfan: Um…Okay…You seeing the same thing right?
Tiger Kid accuses Fabian and Leono of being UGLY. Hitting them where it hurts!
IWRG has…a long commercial break. Oh, there we go.
CHICO CHE. Oh look, it’s the cage match from last week. Teleformula is the worst.
@thecubsfan: LOL! I wish we were in some sort of time delay because I could have watched AAA instead. In fact let me check…
Oh commercials, nice.
I just hope they dont do the felino vs mistico at the end savin the other two
Negro Casas with the Sharp Shooter
Sombra is shown standing on his own, with out any help. Although they did show him holding on to his shin. Looking at the highlights it looks like his shin hit the edge of one of the ringside seats. Im pretty sure it could have been avoided had the fat chick in the front row moved out of the way.
LATV has
Raziel b Diamante [lightning]
Dark Angel, Lady Apache, Lluvia b Hiroka, Mima Shimoda, Princesa Sujei
(switched order)
LATV has:
Raziel vs Diamante
Mima Shimoda/Hiroka/Sujej vs Dark Angel/Apache/Lluvia
Well that Lightning match was pretty disappointing. Of course the commercial break lasted longer than the match.
No AAA in mexico today?
AAA is airing. I didn’t catch much of it, but it was the Poza Rica taping.
I ended up finding it on a local channel. Televisa didn’t have it on its regular time. Kinda a let down with all the Rey de Reyes news from Friday.
So AAA’s guarantee that they would have a regular time slot lasted all of what… 4 weeks? And that included a couple of weeks where the show started 15 minutes early.
@Rob: Seemed to be on at its regular time in Mexico City. At least it ended around 6:00, not sure what time it started.
