AULL (SUN) 10/24 Arena Lopez Mateos [Estrellas del Ring, Black Terry Jr. (flickr), Mi Lucha Libre]
1) Super Mascara b Impulso
2) Espiral, Golden Boy, Super Panda b Aguila Tapada, El Cinico, El Cirujano
3) Chicano Power, Cien Caras Jr., Hombre sin Rostro b Hijo del Senor Tormenta, Nuevo Kato Kung Lee, Yakuza
4) Climax I, Climax III, Climax Jr. b El Mimo, Sanguinario Jr., Tramposo [semifinal]
5) Super Muñeco, Super Pinocho, Super Raton b Chucho el Roto, Super Brazo, Super Brazo II [semifinal]
6) Super Muñeco, Super Pinocho, Super Raton b Climax I, Climax III, Climax Jr. [final]
7) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown b Coco Amarillo, Coco Azul, Coco Rojo
Main event was a three falls match, with Psycho sneaking in a foul on Rojo in the third fall for the win. After the match, both sets of clowns, Muneco, Pinocho, Raton, Chicano Power, Cien Caras Jr., and Hombre sin Rostro all challenged for cage mask match on 11/28. Coco Amarillo actually lost his mask once, but never mind that.
CMLL (SUN) 10/24 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Templario b Javier Cruz Jr.
2) Hierro & Virgo DQ Ebola & Rey Trueno
3) Black Metal & Neutrón b León Blanco & Malefico
4) Pólvora, Sangre Azteca, Vangelis b Ángel de Oro, Metro, Toscano
5) La Sombra, Máscara Dorada, Rotoporky b Ephesto, Héctor Garza, Mr. Águila
Main event was short and had a lot of Garza accidentally costing his teammates. Porky suplex Aguila. Odd to read Porky winning without falling down on someone.
Angel de Oro was hurt by a Polvora move in the semimain, which helped the rudos win.
CMLL’s removed the minis match from Friday’s show and added Pegasso, Rey Cometa, Angel Azteca Jr. vs Nitro, Loco Max, and Skandalo in it’s place.
Box Y Lucha #2997 has the new Bizarros.
CMLL in NJPW: Manabu Nakanishi, Strong Man, Prince Devitt, Ryusuke Taguchi b Terrible, Texano Jr., Jado, Gedo [Nakanishi on Gedo]. Texano & Terrible face Nakamura & Puder tomorrow in the tag team league, then have a few days off.
AAA in AJPW: Ozz & Cuervo were announced for their tag team league. Not enough tag team leagues going on! 9 team tournament runs from 11/20 to 12/07, and might be a true round robin format. Normally, Ozz & Cuervo going elsewhere would be fun, but it seems like an odd time to take them out of circulation. Those dates mean they’re unlikely to be on Guerra de Titanes.
Anyway, this inspired me to book Mexican tag teams for each remaining Japanese promotion (that I can think of, off the top of my head). None of this is real, but if it was
DDT: Gato Eveready and Pimpinela Escarlata
Dradition/Real Japan: any two Brazos (probably already true)
ZeroOne: Turbo & Skyade
Big Japan: Nicho & Lider
OsakaPro: Super Porky & Maximo
666: Damian 666 & Bestia 666
any joshi promotion: Mima Shimoda and whomever, and then I’ll forget to write about it.
Dragon Gate: wait a second, what happened to Cerebro heading over here in October? I suppose he’s still got a week. Hmmmmmm.

Didn’t Coco Rojo lose his mask also?
Sad day when you choose that photo over Super Brazo’s tits.
That picture is SO AMAZING.
The card for this Sunday’s ACM show looks interesting. Angel de Oro and Plata with Hijo Del Ninja vs Los Difunto and VENENO EXTREMO. Too bad the show is only 30 minutes now cause I’d love to see the Rey Cometa match.
@Tim: Yeah that’s a shame. Hopefully they find a way to get it on TV eventually. What a wacky lineup.
SD 9.8
CMLL 2.2 moved to 2pm so they were jerked around again.
AAA 3.5 means nothing. it went against the biggest soccer match of the year: Chivas vs. America which did and 18.2 destroying all other shows on television
@LLL: on saturday they were also put at an early timeslot the usually
@CM93: Yup. CMLL should just leave Televisa. Would not hurt them in the slightest. It’s a waste at this point to put that shitty show together.
The new Olimpico look is funny. He looks like someone you see on NY1 News marching in the Gay Pride Parade.
@LLL: no i mean aaa here was swapped around
cmll has been quite depressing as of late
@CM93: and what’s funny is that Televisa just renewed their deal in the US with Univision/Galavision/Telefutura and lent them a billion dollars for a chunk of the company. I wonder if Univision will put pressure on Televisa to get CMLL under the program licensing agreement(PLA) as it was in the good old days.
@LLL: so cmll on univision?
If only AAA had some gimmick they could use to capitalize on the popularity of the Chivas soccer team! IF ONLY!
@Rob: will there be a resurrection of las chivas aaa?
CHIVAS = BUYS!
@CM93: Yeah but that would involve someone with a gimmick being on TV. Can’t happen. The world needs more Alyssa Flash who is dressed nothing like The Flash and Takashi Suguira who most Mexicans recognize immediatly under the name the know him as – “el japones”. Strangely that’s also how they remember Morishima, those guys from Triplemania and the other NOAH dude who came two years ago.
@Rob: ishimori?
The world needs more Alyssa Flash than they do Joe Lider’s of the world. Konnan should be under the Chivas mask.
