Day: April 28, 2010

CMLL (TUE) 05/04 Arena Mexico
1) Molotov & Sensei vs Inquisidor & Semental
2) Lady Apache, Lluvia, Marcela vs Amapola, Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sujei
3) Astral, Bam Bam, Eléctrico vs Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Warrior, Pierrothito
4) Blue Panther, Máscara Dorada, Shocker vs Atlantis, Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero
5) Héctor Garza, Místico, Último Guerrero vs Felino, La Sombra, Volador Jr. [Relevos Increíbles]

Maybe Wednesday postings of this lineup is going to be the new thing? This is a Fan Appreciation (discounted tickets) show.

That’s an interesting main event. Doesn’t look like Volador/Mistico is ending this Sunday. Usually, it’s still three rudos and three tecnicos, but Garza still says he’s a tecnico…

Negro Casas’ CMLL middleweight title match vs Liger is on May 3rd, the last show of his tour in Japan, so I think he’ll have be OK getting back in time (though it may not be a good time.) Negro is currently 3-6 on the NJPW tour, with 1 direct win (pinning Liger to start the tour) and 2 direct losses (Liger, Giant Benard.) Negro did a recent promo declaring he’s going to bring his title home and wants a mask vs hair match next.

Speaking of NJPW, there’s some hype up for Mascara Dorada & Valiente’s appearance in the Super J Tag Tournament. A photographer exclaims that the building needs to be very well lit, because Dorada is too fast for a camera flash.

CMLL (TUE) 04/27 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Johnny Dinamo b Quca
2) Infierno & Malefico b Nube Roja & Virgo
3) Gallo & Neutrón b Asesino Negro & Drago
4) Metal Blanco & Palacio Negro b Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno
5) Exterminador b Ebola [hair]
6) Averno, Ephesto, Texano b Brazo de Plata, Héctor Garza, Toscano

Rudos took the first, with some assistance from Garza. Hector hid during the second beatdown of the tecnicos, pretending he could not hear his teammates yells for help. Once they made the comeback, Garza stormed the ring, pushed Porky out of the way, and stole the pin. Garza helped the rudos again in the third fall, so much that they raised his hand in victory after the match. This sounds great, but I’m hoping he’s actually on the rudo side soon.

CMLL (TUE) 04/27 Arena Mexico [Record, @cmllmagazine]
1) Horus & Metatrón b Camorra & Disturbio
2) Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Skándalo DQ Diamante, Pegasso, Rey Cometa
3) Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca, Virus b Rush, Stuka Jr., Valiente
4) Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero b Blue Panther, La Sombra, Strong Man
5) Mephisto b La Máscara [NWA WELTER]

Kahoz and Brazo de Oro worked the corners for their sons. Mascara took the first with a casita, Mephisto took the second, then survived the campana and won clean with a Rosa.

Recaps of the show list the title either as the World Welterweight Championship or (erroneously) the CMLL World Welterweight Championship. No one asks about the old name; the NWA’s accomplishment here is to get people to stop talking about them. Hooray? (Letters are still on the belt.)

PdM (TUE) 04/27 Arena Aficion [The Gladiatores]
1) Aspid & Medics III b Aquiles & Magnum (Hidalgo)
2) Fantasma de la Ópera & Maldito Jr. b Exotico & La Plaga
3) Diva Salvaje & Mr. Aguilita b Leo & Medussa
4) Súper Nova & X-Fly b Hijo de LA Park & Oriental
5) Damián 666, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Halloween b Blue Demon Jr., Charly Manson, Groon XXX

Charly Manson replaced Oriental in the main event, which was a great excuse for X-Fly to rush out and foul him to give the rudos the win.

Stuka had a new mask design. How does CMLL magazine get all this done while live tweeting shows and taking photos? He is amazing.

Loco Max pulled Diamante’s mask off. How long is his hair right now?

AAA announced Fabi Apache, Mari Apache and Cinthia Moreno will face Sexi Star, Rain, and Jennifer Blake (not Blade this week; make up your mind) will face off at TripleMania, where the loser has to be the winner’s maids. This won’t end well.

Also, the mystery person in Friday’s TV taping main event is Nicho. Sounds like the actual mystery person wasn’t available after all.

The Vipers beating CMLL in Puebla has gotten decent coverage (clearly off CMLL press releases, so they’re trying to treat this as a big deal.)

Delta, Atlantis, Arkangel, and Guerrero Maya Jr. visited children in the hospital. CMLL is also partnering with an organization teaching kids how to stay safe on the internet. STEP 1:  do not read this comment section.
