CMLL (TUE) 08/30/2011 Arena Mexico [CMLL, MT, Record]
1) Höruz & Trueno b Artillero & Súper Comando
2) Dalis la Caribeña & Marcela b La Seductora & Princesa Blanca
Marcela won in straight falls, then challenged Blanca to a title and a hair match.
3) Ángel Azteca Jr., Ángel de Plata, Starman b Arkángel de la Muerte, Nitro, Skándalo
Tecnicos took 1/3.
4) Dragon Lee, Puma King, Shocker b Rey Cometa, Rey Escorpion, Último Guerrero [Relevos Increíbles]
Almost a Forjando un Idolo throwback, except Puma wasn’t on Shocker’s team. Rey Cometa worked as a rudo to fit in his partners. Said to be very good. UG’s team took the first fall, but Shocker’s team took the last two, including Shocker beating UG with the reinera in the third.
5) Olímpico, Psicosis, Volador Jr. b Ángel de Oro, Rush, Super Porky
Looks like Volador figured out how to give the Sombra killing headscissors piledriver to Angel de Oro for the win.
6) Felino DQ Rey Bucanero
Felino took the first, Bucanero the second in quick falls. In the third, Felino fouled Rey Bucanero for the DQ. Felino continued to attack Bucanero after the mat

No full results from GDL, but Luchas 2000 mentions Virus kept the Super Lightweight title over Stuka. Also, Dark Angel’s TNA tag team partner Rosita was spotted hanging out with her. I don’t watch any TNA – would she theoretically fit in CMLL?

Box Y Lucha #3041 has figured out there might some issue with Sin Cara. You don’t say! Last night on WWE TV, it looked like they were starting a heel turn for Hunico Sin Cara. The purpose of putting Hunico out there using the Sin Cara iidentity was to keep the kid friendly face character, so there’s no way they’re turning Hunico heel unless Mistico (or, who knows, someone else) is coming back as heroic Sin Cara. That’s the only logic I can figure out, but I must note there’s a lot illogical stuff that has occurred.

(I’m sure the WON will have all different stuff tomorrow. Tune in and find out!)

Dr. X-Treme again says he’s not an X-Treme wrestler despite the name. He really should blame whoever came up with that name for this confusion. X-Treme says he’s not afraid of hardcore wrestling or any style, because  he’s an expert in all sorts of disciplines (including a black belt in karate!) Here’s a list of alternative Dr “X” sounding the names he could’ve gone with, off the top of my head: Dr. Xpolosion (danger of being booked in explosion matches), Dr. Xpert, Dr. Excel (either could go a Dr. XL direction, or he could team with Professor Word and Mr. Outlook), Dr. Executive…

Rob has part five and six of his cruiserweight spotfest, classic AAA lucha from Feb 1995, and highlights from 08/09/11 and 08/16/11 CMLL.

LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update and this week’s AAA.

  1. Rosita is a Northeast based wrestler who speaks Spanish and if she keeps working (and keeps working with Sarita), then she could become a really good wrestler. I wanted CMLL to use Sarita and Rosita when they were the Knockout Tag Team Champions.

  2. Man that IWL PPV looks rough, I really enjoyed that last show, but this looks pretty crappy. Having that great Daga v. Suicida match end in a draw, just to set up a 3-way with Craig Classic is just awful booking.

  4. @Arakas: That match wouldn’t air either.

    IWL mentioned on their Twitter that they’re not allowed to use the AAA guys on their iPPVs. They haven’t given details, but presumably it’s part of the deal in using them, where AAA guys can only appear on AAA PPVs.

  5. Not that it matters in this particular situation, but could PdM guys who are working for AAA – say Xfly – work the IWL ppv?

    This could be interesting, as far as if AAA has the power to actually stop anyone from doing anything. Or, if there is even enough $ being generated to actually care yet….

  6. @Nikita: The guys are getting paid to work the show as if it’s any show they would get booked on. It doesn’t matter to them if they are on iPPV or not b/c they see no extra money out of it. IWL obviously worked out a deal with AAA since lots of IWL shows have AAA talent and one condition must have been they can’t have AAA guys appear on any TV events. If IWL breaks that deal I’m sure AAA would simply just stop sending their guys to work IWL shows.

  7. @Rob – I get that part of it. I guess what I am saying is that if these ippv shows are getting less than 100 buys, maybe AAA just doesn’t care?
