top six stories of the last two weeks

It’s not a specific event, but the general story is AAA shut down the last two weeks (today’s Christmas party beside) and CMLL kept running shows, and even shows with significant events. Or maybe that should be “CMLL *had* to keep running shows.”

  1. Perros del Mal held their second anniversary show, with the Psycho Circus losing to the Perros again, and X-Fly winning another title.
  2. LA Park wore his half brother’s mask, and wrestled as Hijo de Cien Caras on a tribute show for the slain wrestler.
  3. Dragon Rojo & Averno were the surprise finalists in the Copa Jr.
  4. Shocker surprisingly won the NWA Light Heavyweight title from Texano, but suffered a major knee injury a few days later.
  5. Palacio Negro & Metal Blanco made their debuts by winning a block in the Mexican Trios tournament
  6. DTU held it’s 3rd anniversary show

Mascara/Psicosis, Black Terry shaves Gallego

CMLL (TUE) 12/21 Arena Mexico [Cesar, CMLL]
1) Apocalipsis & Disturbio b Astro Boy & Metatrón
2) Dalys la Caribeña, Lluvia, Marcela DQ La Comandante, La Seductora, Zeuxis
3) Arkángel de la Muerte, Demus 3:16, Virus b Fuego, Guerrero Maya Jr., Sensei
4) Metro, Rush, Toscano b Pólvora, Shigeo Okumura, Vangelis
5) El Alebrije, Olímpico, Psicosis b Hijo del Fantasma, La Máscara, Máscara Dorada

Invasors won the first fall, lost the second by DQ when Psicosis ripped off La Mascara’s mask, and won the third when Psicosis got away with a foul on La Mascara. Issues!

Women’s match had a couple subs (Lluvia & Marcela for Star Fire & Luna Magica) and only went two falls. Not sure if it was an excessive violence DQ or if Comadnate was DQed for shoving Tiger Hispano just as he was going to make that call, but it’s the same result. Dalys had a remarkable poor plancha off the apron in this match.

Black Terry Jr.

IWRG (TUE) 12/21 Arena Naucalpan [Black Terry Jr. (flickr), Estrellas del Ring, Mi Lucha Libre, Mi Lucha Libre (2)]
1) Mascarita de Oro & Volaris b Galeno King & Halcon 2000
2) Flama Infernal, Sky Angel, Zafiro b Guizmo, Serpiente Dorada, Soldado de la Muerte
3) Dragon Fly, Hammer, Tonatiuh b Fresero Jr., Fulgor I, Fulgor II
4) Dinamic Black b Alan Extreme, Centurión, Comando Negro, Eterno, Guerrero 2000, Keshin Black, Super Black, Angel Negro Jr., Boazz, Golden Bull, Maligno, Principe Zarak I, Principe Zarak II, Rayden, Rayito Mendoza [Copa High Power]
5) Black Terry b Gallego [hair]

Trainee show, though they didn’t call it one this time. Gallego busted Black Terry open in the first fall and took it, but legend of Arena Naucalpan took the second and third fall to defeat the AAA representative.

Gallego and Black Terry both helped their students in the AAA vs IWRG cibernetico. Dinamic Black defeated Boazz to win it.

Shocker and Stuka are announced to challenge for the CMLL tag team titles on New Years Day in La Laguna, but obviously that’ll be changed. Angel de Oro and Angel de Plata are on the card, perhaps one of them will get the shot. The CMLL guys going back to La Laguna are already running a triple shot on Christmas Day.
