Month: May 2010

Wireless must’ve gone down or something, because both @CMLL_Oficial & and @CMLLMagazine stopped posting for a while. Maybe the main event just knocked them out? They’re back now, and have a full lineup.

CMLL (SUN) 06/06 Arena Mexico
1) Bam Bam & Shockercito vs Pequeño Damian 666 & Pierrothito
2) Metro, Rush, Stuka Jr. vs Histeria, Maniaco, Monsther
3) Hijo del Fantasma, La Máscara, Shocker vs El Alebrije, Olímpico, Psicosis
4) Máscara Dorada, Místico, Mr. Águila vs Averno, Negro Casas, Volador Jr. [Relevos Increíbles]
5) Brazo de Plata, Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Strong Man vs Giant Benard, Máscara Año 2000, Universo 2000

They’re using the Sin Salida (No Exit) name for this show.

Very suspicious that Hector Garza is not listed on this show. He was introduced as a member of the Indepedentes earlier today, friends again with Mr. Aguila. The heavyweight trios match of doom was announced as the main event, but it would not be a surprise for a Hector Garza vs ??? (Sombra? Ultimo Guerrero?) singles match to be added on top.  I’m going to hold off on celebrating 52MX getting the better matches for the moment.

No new Indepedents members announced with this card, besides Tirantes Sr. working as a referee. I’d presume this means Perros del Mal need a new referee. Update: Estrellas del Ring has photos of Tirantes hiding under a Pandita mask for the first part of the press conference.

This is not an overwhelming card to go up against TripleMania. The people who are thrilled to see the Dinamitas vs Rayo de Jalisco are not the people who’d be going to see 2010 AAA, and I’m not sure that anyone who was hyped for LA Park vs La Parka Jr. will change their mind for this. The person who just want to go see lucha probably ends up going to the TripleMania show, because that still seems much more meaningful. That can change if another match is added.

Mascara Dorada, Mistico, and Mr. Aguila is a dream team, and a welcoming indication that Tuesday’s Super Sky Team reunion is designed to fail. There’s no better time for Volador to test out a rudo twist then when he’s teaming with Averno & Negro Casas.

That opener needs to turn up somewhere. Put it up on YouTube, CMLL!

In news not related to this show, but expected, Jushin Liger will be returning to CMLL sometime soon to defend the CMLL World Middleweight Championship. The Best of Super Juniors tournaments concludes on 06/13 and the next set of shows (preceding the next tour) doesn’t start until 06/28. There’s a taping in between that Liger would miss, but that time span makes the most sense.

CMLL held a press conference today, mostly for the Invader’s sake. Hector Garza was officially introduced as part of the group; it looks like Garza & Aguila may be co-leaders at the moment. To solve the problem of the clearly biased CMLL referee, the Indepedentes have their own referee: Tirantes Senor, of course.

June 6th was announced as a CMLL vs Invader show, not so coincidentally going up against TripleMania. They only announced the main event (or at least one match, which I figure is the main event), and what a match it is: Strong Man, Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Super Porky vs Giant Benard, Mascara Ano 2000, Universo 2000. That’d be a good match for Fox Sports to get! No word on the rest of the card, but we’ve got enough guys already to fill out two more trios matches (Psicosis, Histeria, Alebrije, Maniaco, Olimpico, Monsther – though he hasn’t been mentioned much since that first appearance.) They need about five more guys to fill out a card.

On that note, Zumbido tells Fuego en el Ring that he’s coming back to CMLL in a month or a month in a half. At any other time, it’d come off as empty talk to stir up interest (like when he did the same interview in February, or the times before that), but he is a name that’s been brought up for returning and would fit in with the Indepedent group. A month or six weeks is a little late for a show in three weeks.

There are clips of the AAA TV taping on the Box Y Lucha board.

Satanico responds to Solar, saying he never called himself the right hand of Diablo Velasco, just one of many people caring on his legacy, but would be open to a Solar/Satanico singles match for the 51st Arena Coliseo Guadalajara anniversary show.

Olimpico is very happy to be back with CMLL. He doesn’t care who he faces or where they put him on the card, he just wants to stay in CMLL long after the CMLL/Invader storyline ends.

DTU has listed third card for next Sunday. Besides the usual collection of guys, there’s also Cuervo & Espiritu vs the Traumas, and Ultimo Gladiador and Fabian el Gitano on opposite sides of a trios match.

Hernandez was back at this week’s TNA tapings, so he may not be long for AAA.

La Parka Jr., Octagon, Kenzo Suzuki, Alex Koslov, Chessman and the Psycho Circus visited a children’s hospital.

Maldito Jr. & Ninja de Fuego won the vacant Hidalgo Tag Team titles.

El Hijo del Santo is described as “a bit slow at times, but impeccable dressed” for his speech at the Tijuana book fair.

The Gladiatores has a video interview with Black Warrior about joining Los Perros.

R de Rudo has video interviews with Insane & Extremoso.

Juventud Guerrera has an interviw with Hijo de Rey Misterio.

Rob has a review of Dos Leyendas 2010, and random matches from CMLL, IWRG and ACM. Rob also twitter that Leo left the Perros del Mal, surely changing the landscape of lucha libre, but I can’t find the post about it.

LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update.

Ras de Lona #98 has the new trios champs. I wonder what they’re doing for #100?
