1) Imperial b Lucky Boy
Lucky Boy is a Puebla indy luchador.
2) Dinamic Black & Eterno b Carta Brava Jr. & Imposible
3) Alan Extreme, Explosivo, Tony Rivera DQ Black Sky, Comando Negro, Fresero Jr.
Comando Negro fouled Alan Extreme for a DQ.
4) Avisman, Destroyer, El Hijo del Diablo b Negro Navarro, Trauma I, Trauma II
Destroyer’s valet Sherry snuck in and fouled Trauma I, allowing Diablo to pick up the win.
5) Bestia 666, Damián 666, X-Fly b Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown
Usual Perros match. Clowns were about to win when Halloween ran in and fouled Monster Clown. Damian got the pin. Same finish in back to back matches, almost the same finish for three straight matches.

A lot of new faces on this show, though some have worked the trainee shows.

A CMLL press release hyping up the National Tournament says Mascara Dorada & Atlantis will be in next week’s block. Seven teams to go.

Tonight has the first block in the tournament, with no clear favorite and no feuding partners teaming. The main event is Mascara Dorada vs Averno, the culmination of a feud which has been going since Mistico disappeared. Magnus, the man with the mysterious family background, debuts.

  • Crazy Boy is heading to Austria to wrestle in a match where can he win a Mexican artifact to bring back to Mexico. I think I have that right.

Lineups

CMLL (TUE) 02/15/2011 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Templario vs Titanio
2) Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II vs Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno
3) Lluvia, Luna Mágica, Marcela vs Mima Shimoda, Princesa Blanca, Tiffany
4) Hijo del Fantasma & Toscano vs Mr. Águila & Olímpico
5) Máximo vs Rey Bucanero

Main event plays off the last couple of weeks of finishes. Bucanero has figured out that Maximo thinks this is some of Valentine’s Day date, which he’s not down for. Rey also explains he’s fit in with Pesta Negra by not spending money on new gear and washing his gear less often.

Tapatios vs Truenos is a GDL dream opening match.

taped at Arena Coliseo Guadalajara, 12/28/2010

recap: here

so this was great

Dalys la Caribeña, Luna Mágica, Marcela vs Amapola, La Seductora, Princesa Blanca: Luna was quite bad in this match, and she wasn’t alone. Maybe not poor effort, but definitely some poor execution. This was a nice experiment to find out if they could air 3 matches in an hour (they can!) but this wasn’t the extra match you’d want to include.

Hooligan, Loco Max, Skándalo vs Ángel Azteca, Ángel de Oro, Ángel de Plata: This match! It’s still an good match, and this was a rare one where the rudos actually won clean. Is Hooligan, Skandalo and Loco Max the best possible Tuareg combination, or does Arkangel belong in there?

Hijo del Fantasma, La Sombra, Máscara Dorada vs El Alebrije, Olímpico, Psicosis: Perico’s involvement didn’t make any sense but everything with him and Cuije was gold so continue making no sense. Given how well Cuije, Monito and Perico are doing, I predict CMLL will add another mascot before the year is up. It’s a solid a bet as a tournament. Alebrije is still surprisingly good as a rudo, though I wonder if it’s as easy to him as just doing whatever Monsther used to do to him. The Invasors lost pretty easily for being the Invasors, but that’s where they’re at now.

box

AAA-US: second part of opening taping, with Milicia trios and Bestia making his AAA TV debut (at least in a match.)

52MX: women’s match + Fantasma/Rush/Valiente vs Ephesto/Felino/Bucanero

LATV: they haven’t aired two weeks of new episodes in a row in a while, and last week as a new episode, so…

GDL: This show hasn’t aired a 2011 match yet, and seemed to be doubling up on earlier shows even before last week’s rerun. Maybe things will go back to normal here, but I have a feeling something’s up.
——

CMLL: Olimpico/Fantasma, Sangre’s debut on the tecnico side, Dorada/Averno

AAA-MEX: part 1 of the Naucalpan taping.

CMLL-FOX: minis cibernetico + main event trios

C3: another cibernetico! Maybe they can squeeze the opener in this week?

CMLL-Mega6: Bonus match is Universo/Pierrothito vs Electrico/Shockercito.

CMLL-Puebla: TVC redid their website, which is nice. Except, they have no listings for TVC Deportes at all, for any day. Not sure what the deal is with this.

Perro: long have given up on what the deal is with this.

ACM: they haven’t any of the shows with Purpura on it, so maybe another random midcard match from previous weeks.

IWRG: tonight’s show.
———

CMLL-TFN: National Tournament final + Volador/Mistico. This is the part of CMLL you should be watching, Canada people.
