CMLL (FRI) 09/17 Arena Mexico [SportsNavi, @cmllmagazine, Cesar, Notimex]
1) Arkángel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Skándalo b Guerrero Maya Jr., Pegasso, Rey Cometa
2) Ayumi, Dark Angel, Marcela b Amapola, Mima Shimoda, Princesa Blanca
3) Virus b Demus 3:16 [lightning]
4) Brazo de Plata, La Máscara, Strong Man b Héctor Garza, Terrible, Texano Jr.
5) Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero DQ Charly Manson, Olímpico, Psicosis
6) Volador Jr. b Místico [Copa Bicentenario]
The SportsNavi article says Ayumi will return in 2011. Cesar has the women’s as best of the night.
Virus is the king of the super minis, submitting Demus in 6:42
In between the Strong Man match and the lightning match, CMLL brought out Panico, Ringo Mendoza, Tony Salazer, Lizmark, el Halcon, Mocho Cota, Fishamn, Satanico, Sangre Chicana and Cien Caras as past heroes of the bicentennial. There was also a moment of applause for La Fiera.
Strong Man was dressed as Hulk Hogan.
Invasors/Peste Negra match seemed to set up a Negro Casas/Charly Manson hair match this week. That match keeps changing. DQ was for Psicosis hitting Rey Bucanero with the ringside stairs
After a long match, Volador won completely clean with a backcracker. Rudo or tecnico, Mistico still has not been able to beat Volador Jr. in Mexico City. Satanico and Ringo Mendoza gave Volador the trophy for winning, and Volador publicly thanked Satanico for training him.
@cmllmagazine had the building 85% full.
CMLL’s Twitter says they’re on at 3pm today.
DJ Spectro has video of Los Guerreros vs Los Infernales from 09/30/83.
The Gladiators have interviews with Charlie Haas & Miss Jackie (who plans on bringing Shelton Benjamin in; WON mentioned a 11/06 show with Haas/Benjamin/??? vs Konnan/Damian/Halloween in Tijuana) and Booker T (who says he’s gotten an offer to wrestle a lot more often in Mexico and plans on taking it, if he can fit in his schedule.)
Is there something up with Trauma II and IWRG? He hasn’t been there since June 20th (90 days), while his brother is a regular and his father is there a bit too.
Arkangel confirmed he’s working the Nosawa/Mil Mascaras show in Japan on Ras de Lona. Mocha Cota & Sangre Chicana were on talking about La Fiera (and the footage they used was him wrestling Ultimo Dragon in Japan?)

@conjuarez: did you go to the bicentennial FIESTA in the Zocalo?
@conjuarez: Once at the hotel I read the chat and it seems you also had a great time!
:) it is always a pleasure to read you all here and to follow in twitter you Rob, Cubsfan, Alfredo and Stephen.
Can’t wait to attend next chat (hopefully on time).
@CM93: Hello :) No, unfortunately I did not. I celebrated at home here in Juárez (since it is unsafe to be out).
Those who were at the Zócalo seem to have a memory of a lifetime but they had to be there since very early in the morning.
ACM Match 2 seems to be Arena Coliseo Monterrey: 2010-09-05 (4) Golden Boy & Simbolo DRAW Androide & Rey Sagitario
@conjuarez: WELCOME COME TO THE COOLEST PLACE ON EARTH! :D
ACM Match 3 is Los Porros vs Los Payasos in a hardcore match.
@CM93: Thank you! :D
Sombra vs Volador = ****1/4, reserving the right to change my mind and raise that up a bit. Points I may forget to make three weeks from now when I actually post the recap:
– there’s so much difference between “laying on the mat for 10 seconds” and “laying on the mat for 30 seconds”; there felt like was a much better rhythm to this match than a lot of other similar on paper matches because they didn’t take as long as breaks; they were better than Sombra/UG, which might mean they were doing it “wrong”, but then I hope they continue to do it wrong
– Announcers were really good. Which guy is the PBP guy? Because I really liked him, name screaming and all. Maybe having only two guys in the booth so they don’t have to take turns like school children helps, who’d figure.
– why am I not dropping a couple of these shows and making time in my life for Puebla every week? Such a fool.
I’m going from watching that to the women’s trios on 52MX. So harsh.
@thecubsfan: the match form puebla was fantastic. definitely a match of the year candidate(?)
@CM93: Without a doubt match of the year candidate, Infact possibly the best match from Puebla this year.
@Calabcd44: did you see the one from yesterday yet?
@CM93: Yes, I thought the match was good. The Volador rudo turn has been awesome just for Venom Volador/Carnage Volador. Judging by the crowds reaction to the match, when Mistico & Volador finally have the mask vs mask match, it will tear the roof of off Arena Mexico.
