IWRG (THU) 06/17 Arena Naucalpan [Estrellas del Ring, Black Terry Jr. (flickr)]
1) Máscara Magnífica b Carta Brava Jr.
2) Comando Negro & Silver Boy b Eterno & Hijo del Signo
3) Bombero Infernal b Dr. Cerebro [super libre]
4) Avisman, El Hijo del Diablo, Gringo Loco b Suicida, Trauma I, Trauma II [EdM Trios]
5) Gato Eveready, Octagón, Pimpinela Escarlata b Cerebro Negro, Fuerza Guerrera, Veneno
You’ll never believe this, but Fuerza Guerrera tied Octagon’s mask to the ropes! Octagon’s mask came off in the process, and Fuerza covered him for the win. Team AAA rallied to win fall two, and Fuerza punted Octagon in the third, getting away with it for the fall.
Traumas kept the first fall on the mat to take it. Gringos rallied with teamwork to even it up. In the third, Trauma I submitted Avisman, Gringo Loco defeated Trauma I, Trauma II took out Gringo Loco with a dive. That left Suicida and Diablo, and Diablo won clean to retain the title.
Bombero snuck in a foul, and Dr. Cerebro wants a hair match. Comando Negro replaced Silver Boy, out due to injury last week.
Arena Mexico previews
- Ovaciones, which mentions Yoshihashi is to be in Mexico for three months. 21 of the 24 page Ovaciones is on the World Cup; I’m surprised it was 24 of 24. This preview says this is Poder Mexica’s second shot at the belt, which alerted me that we must’ve forgotten to put up the April title defense on the luchawiki.
- ESTO, who frames the main event as Lyger wanting revenge for losing on his way out last time
- Sangre Azteca says his team will win the belts and bring them to France, where Sangre Azteca is headed in a few days.

Dorada’s a part of the other trios belts, so it seems odd for him to still have this one, and it’s really time for Poder Mexica to win. I think a tecnico team defending against the likes of the Cancerberos and Tuaregs would make some sense, but I can’t see them doing it with this tecnico trio.
The Gladiatores has a text interview with Lyger (talks about Japan beating Mexico in 1968 Olympics & vacation plans), and video interviews with Mistico & Mr. Niebla (who’s not interested in teaming up with his old Vipers friends.)
LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update and video of Los Brazos vs Blue Blazer, Gran Hamada and Dos Caras.
Lineup
AAA PdM (MON) 06/21 Arena Cuatro Caminos de Nuevo Laredo
1) Mini Hombre Sin Miedo & Mini Sobredosis vs Coquito Amarillo & Mini Rio Bravo
2) Ángel Dorado, El Brazo, Street Boy vs Black Mamba, Drako, Pit Bull
3) Aerostar, Laredo Kid, Relampago vs Rió Bravo, Tigre Cota, Tito Santana II
4) Antifaz del Norte, Damián 666, Halloween vs Electroshock, Silver King, Último Gladiador
Perros del Mal start doing matches on AAA shows as soon as Monday.- Damian 666, Halloween, and Anitfaz oppose Los Maniacos in the main event at Arena Cuatro Caminos. Antifaz is very random; he hasn’t been seen much lately, and he’s usually with the Psicosis group of ex-AAA guys. I would guess this was a replacement for someone else (and Perro Jr. charges way too much.)
CMLL Gutierrez (MON) 07/12 Plaza de Toros Lauro Luis Longoria
1) ?, Rossy Moreno, Sexy Flor vs Lady Apache, Lluvia, Marcela
2) Mini Alebrije, Mini Cibernetico, Mini Oriental vs ?, ??, Mascarita Dorada
3) El Hijo del Solitario, Hijo de LA Park, Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. vs La Máscara, Máscara Dorada, Valiente
4) Ephesto, Mephisto, Rey Bucanero vs Charly Manson, Juventud Guerrera, Mr. Águila
5) Héctor Garza, Terrible, Texano vs Jushin Lyger, Shigeo Okumura, Yoshihashi
6) Atlantis & Olímpico vs Averno & Último Guerrero and Místico & Oriental and El Alebrije & Volador Jr. and Histeria & La Sombra [ruleta de la muerte]
Poster from RFC, and show is supposed to be taped for TV (no network named.) Box Y Lucha notes Rossy Moreno is unaware she’s on this show, so this may not be totally legit.
Main event is a five way tag, with the losing team facing off in a mask vs mask match. The same promoter has been running these CMLL vs Invasor shows in Nuevo Laredo for a while, and they’re pushing the Oriental/Mistico feud. If they do the match as listed, never a sure thing, Olimpico, Oriental and Histeria are the suspects. I’d bet Hijo de LA Park doesn’t end up working this show. Poster pictures Yoshihashi as Taichi (and previously listed Taichi as Naito, so they’re always slightly behind.)
