6) Villano III b Scorpio Jr. [IWL CHAMP, eightfinal]
7) Blue Demon Jr. b Generico [IWL CHAMP, eightfinal]

Usual attendance. Demon beat Generico clean, fans were not very familiar with Generico. The Villano III vs Scorpio Jr. (replacement for Scorpio Sky, hilarious) match had a bit more shenanigans involving a ref bump, Scorpio fouling Villano, but V3 rolling him up anyway.

3) Chico Che, Eragon, Hijo del Pantera b Comando Negro, Imposible, Magia Negra

Oficials won with help from a fast count in the third fall. After the match,

No full results from IWRG, but Dos de Tres says Laredo Kid challenged 911 to a mask match and a vale todo match.

Last night, at a taping for MTV, Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins was attacked by Alex Koslov, Hernandez and Decnnis. Those guys were run off by Parka, Mesias and Tiger. The concerted was being taped for “MTV World Stage”, and it’ll air on 09/17 in Mexico, then 10/08 elsewhere in the MTV world. The bit just took just before the encore. Corgan is a big wrestling fan, having done stuff or ECW, WWE, and TNA at various points, so he was probably thrilled to do this. A music review of the show was not thrilled.

Lucha Libre USA is pre-empted tonight for a marathon of the Dudesons in America. It’s their season finale, so they’re building it up with previous episodes, and lingerie football takes it’s spot. Lucha Libre USA airs on Saturday at noon and should be back in it’s normal slot next week, but moving to a random timeslot with little notice and no promotion indicates MTV2 isn’t really invested in this show.

Tonight’s is the premire of the second Viva La Lucha PPV.

Tonight’s CMLL show is mostly a lame duck show with the much larger show to come next week. Mistico/Sombra/Shocker vs Terrible/Liger/Psicosis should tease a couple possibilities for the end of the cage match. The Peste Negra vs Invasors matches should set up some possibilities for after the anniversary show. Those two teams are already scheduled for next week and, with the tecnico cibernetico on 09/10, will certainly end up fighting the week after as well.

CMLL.com replaced Tiffany with La Comandate for the 09/05 Guadalajara show. Tiffany’s probably working the Santo show instead. They also announced the ticket prices, which go from $1 peso for kids in the balconies to $140 ($11) for the first 5 rows. That undercuts the Santo/Demon show, which runs from $50 to $250.

In another interview, Sombra says he’d like to face Lyger at the end of the cage match.

Canoe has a story about Hijo del Santo appearing this Saturday in Toronto.

Puma King, Tiger Kid, Okumura and Jushin Liger visited children in Neza’s rehab hospital. Video includes more Jushin Liger dancing.

Hereos del Ring has been posting bios for the AAA guys; of course the guys I like to are Ozz (check the signature move), Scoria (him too) and Cuervo. Also, there’s a complete match on YouTube between Cibernetico & Mesias with English language commentary from Konnan and Moody Jack. It is so not good; it’s not really the announcers fault as it whoever told them to say every line as if they’re yelling but also out of breath.

WagnerMania looks back at Black Shadow vs El Santo.

DJ Spectro looks back at Dos Caras vs Mazambula.

Cronicas Y Leyendas has articles about Bengala I & II, and Electroshock‘s debut under the name.

Ras de Lona is up, as is last week’s Lucha Libre USA show.

LuchaWorld has the latest Slammin’ Stan.
