IWL (SUN) 10/31 Gimnasio Pablo Colin [Estrellas del Ring]
1) Solar I DRAW Heddi Karaoui [cage, valetodo]
2) Bestia 666 & X-Fly b Carta Brava & Fantasma de la Ópera [cage,IWL TAG, tournament]
3) Juventud Guerrera b Trauma I, Trauma II, Scorpio Jr., Black Abyss[IWL CONTINENTAL, cage, tournament]
4) Damián 666, Lizmark Jr., Super Crazy DQ Marco Corleone, Súper Nova, Tóxico DF [cage]
5) Cerebro Negro L Aeroboy, Eterno, Naruto, Daga, Medico Asesino Jr.,Fishman Jr., Black Fire, Ragde, Pesadilla [cage, hair]

IWL says CMLL  pulled Olimpico, Felino and Psicosis II from this show. On his podcast, Colt Cabana seemed under the impression he was working this show at least up to a couple week prior, so there may be things going on here.

It’d been a whole 8 months since Cerebro Negro lost his hair, so he lost it here to Aeroboy the final two in the cage. Black Fire was the first out.

Two non-finishes in cage matches on this show. Solar I and Karaoui with to a draw in a vale todo match (I want to see the scorecards) and the DQed in the 4th was for a Porros run-in. Toxico DF is the former Psicosis III, who made it clear to everyone that he WAS the former Psicosis III but would be no longer. Histeria is the only remaining 3rd generation Viper who hasn’t been confirmed as gone.

AULL (SUN) 10/31 Arena Lopez Mateos [Estrellas del Ring]
2) Gallo Tapado Jr., Robin Maravilla, Tortuguillo Ninja II b Cerebro Maligno, Epitafio, Ghefar
3) Rey Krymen, Sepulturero I, Super Colt b Chucho el Roto, Rocky Santana, Sadico
4) Herejia b Yakuza [AULL WELTER]
5) Terry 2000 b Iron Love [hair]

Could’ve sworn Felino/Bucanero vs Olimpico/Charly was supposed to main event this show, but no mention of them in the results. Perhaps that’s a pattern. Terry 2000 won in a bloody match. Herejia won the title from Yakuza.

CMLL (SUN) 10/31 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Virgo b Ángel del Mal
2) Drago & Ebola b Magnum & Samurai
3) Dr. X, Hooligan, Nosferatu b Ángel Azteca, Guerrero Maya Jr., Starman
4) Fabián el Gitano, Rush, Stuka Jr. b Misterioso Jr., Sangre Azteca, Vangelis
5) La Máscara, Sagrado, Shocker b Ephesto, Héctor Garza, Negro Casas

Ephesto replaced Mr. Niebla. Shocker’s mom and dad there, so Garza couldn’t help but to pester them during the match. This time, Shocker got the win.

Ebola and Samurai are feuding and headed to hair vs hair match.

AAA Lucha Libre Premier taping dates are now 11/01, 11/15, 11/28. That’s one less than they originally had, but the distance makes more sense between these. They got about 3 shows per taping last time.

CMLL in NJPW: 11/01
Block B: Giant Bernard & Karl Anderson b Terrible & Texano Jr. [Anderson Gun Stun Terrible]
Block A: Manabu Nakanishi & Strong Man b Togi Makable & Tomoaki Honma [Strong Man Argentine backbreaker Honma]

Strong Man/Manabu Nakanishi have 6 points (3-1), unexpectedly leading their group. Figure them being passed at some point.
Terrible/Texano Jr. have 2 points, 1-2. They’ve got matches with Tajiri/Tanahashi and No Limit left, and ought to win one of those.

Robert has a review of CMLL 52MX from this weekend.

2010 AAA TV Chart
Projected Air Date (#962)
Mexico: 11/07
US: 11/20

Dark Family continued their winning ways, Cuervo getting Chessman clean with a senton con giro. The Militia and Skull Mask attacked Cuervo & Ozz after the match. Taboo ran out for the save, Decnnis got a shot in on him, and the rest of the Bizarros ran in: Scoria, the returning Nygma, and the debuting Amadeus. They made the save, then left thru the crowd. Nygma is the only returning Bizarro (unless it’s someone familiar under the Amadeus mask.)

Perro Aguayo Jr. was scheduled for the semimain, but Perro Aguayo has some issues. Tweets from people in the building suggested Perro was either on drugs or drunk when he got in the ring. A fine week for Los Perros! He didn’t stay there – Mesias hit him with a chair, Perro was removed from the match, and Halloween took his place. Parka pinned Park, which is a bit surprising. After the match, Zorro randomly attacked Wagner, and the Psycho Circus randomly made the save. Wagner, clearly in the market for new flunkies, decided they four should form a group: Potencia Mundial (World Power). Psycho Clowns did the Wagner hand signal, so their in.

Mi Lucha Libre and the AAA recap seem to slightly different on what the finish was for the terceras, but we’re going with no contest. Match randomly included barbed wire and turned into a bloody brawl. Clowns got their masks ripped, came back, then went insane when Tirantes tried to screw with him. Tirantes was laid out, Piero was laid out, Gran Apache was laid out, production people were laid out, and Joaquin was nearly laid out. So close. Obviously setting up the rematch here.

Aerostar returned from his tag team tournament in oblivion, replacing Argenis. In the last match with Super Fly, he ‘suffered a knee injury’ on a dive. On TV, it came off more as if he was being overdramatic (and bad actor) rather than pulling something. This time, Super Fly got hurt and needed help to the back, but the recap says Super Fly was faking his injury. Maybe he did join the Militia, but they just haven’t shown it to us yet.

Naguya and Oyuki are Kitzune Nanuko and Biba Kasai aka Mia Shirai and Io Shirai. The Shirai’s matched up names to names on their blog, and are now my new most favorite luchadors.  No sign of the people the WON had originally for this spot. I don’t know this as a fact, but if the Shirai’s are already in Mexico on their own dime (appears to be the case) and all foreigners are interchangable (observed philosophy here), then AAA surely saves some money by not flying people in. Kitzune was actually the most amusing person in the match with the Morenos and Alissa Flash, FWIW.

Next normal taping is Sunday, though the Lucha Libre Premier Season 2 opener is tonight.
