IWRG (SUN) 11/07 Arena Naucalpan [The Gladiatores]
1) Epidemia & Keshin Black b Guizmo & Super Halcon Jr.
2) Dinamic Black & Eragon b Alan Extreme & Centurión
3) Comando Negro, Guerrero Negro, Magia Negra b Chico Che, el Ángel, Freelance
4) Hijo de Pirata Morgan & Pirata Morgan b Hijo del Cien Caras & Máscara Año 2000 Jr.
5) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown DQ El Hijo de Aníbal, Gran Markus Jr., Veneno
Gran Markus thought he had ended the streak with a submission on Monster Clown, but he had accidentally bumped the referee before, and he awoke to call the DQ.
Piratas won in straight falls, and asked for a title match and an apuesta match. They’ll get one of those next week.
Comando Negro, the it guy of the IWRG moment, snuck in a foul on Angel to continue his winning ways.
Mephisto was still in the hospital on Monday, though scheduled to be released today. He suffered from cerebral swelling, dizziness and temporary lost of consciousness (so, basically a strong concussion) and will be out at least a week. Atlantis takes his place on today’s Arena Mexico card.
Box Y Lucha#2999 has nearly 2999 different headlines on it’s cover, but the most amusing to me is Black Warrior wanting to come back to CMLL. He seemed like a guy who wasn’t interested in being CMLL at all the last six months he was there, but hasn’t shown up much on indy lineups since the Perros started with AAA. They also have a video interview with Lady Apache.
CMLL in NJPW
11/09: [SJ Block A] Jushin Liger & El Samurai b La Sombra & Mascara Dorada [Liger brainbuster Dorada]
Rest of the schedule:
11/10: [SJ Block A] Davey Richards & Rocky Romero vs La Sombra & Mascara Dorada
11/11: [SJ Block A] Nosawa & Fujita vs La Sombra & Mascara Dorada
11/12: Wataru Inoue, Tomoaki Honma, La Sombra, Mascara Dorada vs No Limit & Jado & Gedo
11/13: [SJ Block A] Prince Devitt & Taguchi vs La Sombra & Mascara Dorada
That last match is probably going to be pivotal for someone, but Sombra & Dorada need to quickly pick up wins for it to matter to them. They need a win tonight or it’s over already.
The Communist Plot watched Comando Negro vs Freelance mask vs hair.
Rob watched 11/06 CMLL 52MX and 10/16 & 10/23 CMLL FOX.
LuchaWorld has Alfredo on the 01/29/10 CMLL show, with the second half of the parajes increibles tournament, and KrisZ’s news update.

liger pined dorada with the brainbuster not samurai
The box y lucha cover reminds me of that comedy sketch that SNL and a few other comedy shows like to do about the news were they have the stock tracker, weather update, time, sports ticker, the current news update, the upcoming news report, etc. all covering the news anchor.
Maybe we should start a betting line on whether Nikita can review 365 matches before his birthday. Perhaps a poll!
I actually had a hard time watching some Benoit matches from UWA. I can totally see separating the murderer from wrestler while watching his matches point of view, but damn, its pretty difficult to watch him wrestle any Villanos and not have the “I can’t believe he murdered his wife and kid” thought pop into my head. Its replaced the “that guy’s dead…so is that guy…” thoughts when watching practically every old wrestling show.
Past weekend
Smackdown 8.2
CMLL 3.4
AAA 3.8
RAW 9.2
@LLL: I think the year end will be a great way to end the ratings updates. Since I am afraid to fly, and will never do so again, it makes zero sense to follow Lucha as I’ll never be able to go to Mexico again.
@LLL: fly to mexico? because if the drugs and such
@Alfredo: I Want To Remember Chris Benoit – a blog I wrote about a year ago that sums up my stance on the Benoit wrestler/murder issue better than my match review did.
I actually started Project 33 on November 1st, so my goal is to have 365 by 10/23/11, or 11/1/11. Feel free to give me suggestions of matches guys. Three of the ones I have reviewed so far were by request.
@Nikita: the triple threat tag match form survivor series 2002?
porfavor
@LLL: Weird reason to stop following Lucha. I am sure there’s many who read and regularly comment this blog that have never been or will probably ever go to Mexico. Following the ratings on the other hand… they don’t hold much meaning, since they are never consistent (But it want stop Meltzer from over analyzing them).
