***Shocker 20th Anniversary Show***
1) Eléctrico & Soberado Jr.Aguila de Oriente & Brazo de Plata Jr.
This is the Brazo de Plata Jr. last seen from IWRG, I believe. It appears that’s the CMLL mini in the match, but there’s no clear shot.
2) Dalys la Caribeña, Goya Kong, MarcelaAmapola, Estrellita, Tiffany
3) Fabián el Gitano, La Máscara, MáximoEuforia, Rey Bucanero, Sangre Azteca
4) Puma King & Tiger KidScorpion & Semental
one fall match
5) El Alebrije, Histeria, PsicosisDelta, Fuego, Valiente
Invasors were helped by Tirantes. CMLL ref Babe Richard hiptossed Tirantes after the match.
6) Hijo del Fantasma, Sagrado, Volador Jr. DQ Averno, Mephisto, Texano
Volador turned on his teammates for the DQ.
7) Blue Panther, Brazo de Plata, Metro, RushDragon Lee, Felino, Höruz,Negro Casas
8) Atlantis, Dragón Rojo Jr., Último GuerreroLa Sombra, Máscara Dorada, Stuka Jr.

Card was very changed from what was announced, with many matches that don’t seem to make any sense. It wouldn’t have been that hard to fix it (swap Sangre and Volador, swap Tiger/Puma with Dragon Lee/Horus.) Shocker, now wearing a brace instead of a cast, was honored after the semifinal

CMLL (SUN) 02/27/2011 Arena Coliseo [CMLL]
1) Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío IIBobby Zavala & Ramstein
The rudos were originally Disturbio/Ramstein, then Disturbio/Zavala, and finally Ramstein/Zavala. Rayos still won.
2) Astral, Pequeño Halcón, Pequeño MaximoPequeño Nitro, Pequeño Universo 2000, Pequeño Warrior
3) Cancerbero, Skándalo, YoshihashiArkángel de la Muerte, Molotov, Pegasso
Pegasso returns! Just in time for Rey Cometa to go missing. Arkangel filled in for him. Unlike the last time this happened with the Tuareg, Arkangel was a completely professional tecnico and feuded with Skandalo during the match. Skandalo beat him with a Skandalo Driver, and the two made up with a hug after the match.
4) Ángel de Oro, Blue Panther, ValienteAtlantis, Último Guerrero, Vangelis
Vangelis replaced Volador. They both do start with V, I guess. Double Atlantida on Panther and Valiente to end it.
5) Averno, Ephesto, MephistoLa Máscara, La Sombra, Máscara Dorada
Averno & friends are getting their title shot next week.

On AAA’s website, Dorian Roldan expands on his Twitter comments earlier in the week: AAA and CMLL need to work together to combat CMLL. Dorian blames the problems on the bird flu, the economic issues and the security issues. The product itself is not discussed, except for talk about improving the look of the show (HD cameras in six months, a new set, complaints about the lack of major league stadiums.) Dorian says the WWE product is much worse, except that’s the product Mexicans seem to be watching. Dorian also says he doesn’t want to talk to Panico about this, but Paco Alonso. Good luck on that!

El Brazo talks about the ups and down of his career and fame in an interview with Mi Lucha Libre.

  • Mascara Sagrada says Mistico made the right move to go to the WWE, because he had done everything he could do in CMLL. (Everything CMLL would him do, anyway.)
  • Sangre Azteca is willing to team with Stuka & feud with La Mascara
  • Ohtani’s Jacket watches Atlantis vs Fiera.
  • Luchas 2000 #559 has Mistico going to the WWE.
  • SuperLuchas #403 has an interview with Mistico. The smartest part of the interview is when he’s asked if he wants to work with Alberto del Rio and Rey Misterio – Sin Cara says he wants to work with Randy Orton and John Cena. He doesn’t want to be a top Mexican wrestler, he wants to be a top wrestler.

Lineups

IWRG (THU) 03/03/2011 Arena Naucalpan
1) Eragón & Freelance vs Carta Brava Jr. & El Pollo Asesino
2) Eterno, Multifacético, Veneno vs Comando Negro, Hammer, Magnifico
3) Hijo de Pirata Morgan & Pirata Morgan vs Negro Navarro & Trauma I [IWRG IC TAG]
4) Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro vs Joe Lider, Nicho el Millionario, Último Gladiador [IWRG IC TRIOS]

Both title matches set up this past week. Figure Oficials retain when the AAA team falls apart. The Piratas each have a singles title and the tag titles, and I’d bet against that staying that way.

CMLL (SUN) 03/06/2011 Arena Coliseo
1) Bengala & Principe vs Artillero & Súper Comando
2) Ángel Azteca, Ángel de Plata, Metálico vs Bronco, Escorpion, Tiger Kid
3) Delta, Fuego, Sagrado vs Pólvora, Shigeo Okumura, Yoshihashi
4) Brazo de Plata, Máximo, Sangre Azteca vs Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero
5) La Máscara, La Sombra, Máscara Dorada vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto [CMLL TRIOS]

Sangre Azteca getting to explore his issues with the Guerreros is a bit interesting. There seems to be a few Generacion Dorada vs Triad matches on the horizon in different locales.

IWRG (SUN) 03/06/2011 Arena Naucalpan
1) Eragón & Golden Magic vs Carta Brava Jr. & El Pollo Asesino

5) El Dandy, Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Tinieblas Jr. vs Halloween, Lizmark Jr., Pirata Morgan

That’s some random top two matches.
