CMLL (TUE) 11/15/2011 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Javier Cruz Jr. b Thunder Boy
2) Artillero & Súper Comando b Leo & Robin
3) Bam Bam b Pequeño Violencia [lightning]
recap lists it as straight falls; it had been promoted as a one fall match.
4) Gallo, Metal Blanco, Palacio Negro b Misterioso Jr., Puma King, Tiger
Best match of the night. Tecnicos took 1/3, Gallo pinning Misterioso.
5) Atlantis, Hijo del Fantasma, Valiente DQ El Alebrije, Mr. Águila, Psicosis
2/3 for the tecnicos, Psicosis fouling Atlantis in the second. Valiente replaced Toscano, though they had changed the poster at some point.
Looks like a good crowd.
CMLL Press Conference
Didn’t know this one was coming, and it had a bit of news.
- Blue Panther challenged Negro Casas to a hair match. Negro was thinking about it when Felino jumped in and asked for the match versus Panther. Panther was willing to do a triangle match, but Negro decided to just let Felino have it. It’ll go down 12/16. Either that winner is facing Negro, or Negro will end up in that match yet.
- Atlantis, Delta and Guerrero Maya were talking about changing their names to Los Titanes de la Atlantida when they were interrupted by Shocker. If you recall, Shocker was upset with those three men for splitting off from them after he had supported Delta & Guerrero Maya Jr. during Forjando un Idolo, and he vowed to form his own group. Shocker revealed the Nuevo Figura promos were actually for his guys – plural, because he introduced Titan and Triton to CMLL. Metro rounds out the trio. Atlantis & company were angry – how can they Titanes de la Atlantida when there’s a new Titan? – and so they vowed to come up with a new name soon. Looks like everyone will be tecnicos but feuding.
There’s already a Triton around who’s in IWRG and turns up in Lucha POP and the like. No idea if this is the same guy. CMLL’s used the names before.
- Lot of Japan talk, as always.
CMLL revealed which luchadors would be headed to Japan early next year. Valiente, Atlantis and Mascara Dorada will represent CMLL at the annual 01/04 WrestleKingdom Tokyo Dome show. Maybe Lyger/Atlantis vs Valiente/Dorada? Very happy for Vailente to get the opportunity.
Sombra, Maximo, Volador, Mephisto, Okumura, Diamante, Mascara Dorada, Okumura, Rush, and Misteroso. That’ll be Diamante, Rush and Misterioso’ debut in Japan; Misterioso was actually supposed to face Mistico in Japan during his IWGP Junior Heavyweight championship reign, but that was the trip canceled due to the pig flu. No matches announced yet. I would guess Mascara Dorada vs Mephisto on one night and Sombra vs Volador on the other night. Rush defending his title versus someone – Okumura or maybe a NJPW midcarder? – seems likely too.
As for the women, La Comandante showed off her REINA Tag Team belt and they discussed Lady Apache & Marcela visiting the promotion this week.
- general hype for the upcoming title matches and the ciberneticos this Sunday.
- No mention of the Heavyweight title. It sounded like Blue Panther made a sly remark about Hector, but that’s about it.
Other News
Bobby Lee and the entire lucha libre commission of Leon have resigned, angered about people being allowed to run shows outside their authority (the recent QPPC show here seems to be part of the issue) and the government officials not giving them any power to do anything about it. Bobby Lee also has been the local promoter here, and it read to me like he’s actually upset that anyone else was allowed to run a show in Leon, but that’s just a guess.
Looks like Perros del Mal sold out Arena Aficion. Perro Aguayo Jr. says the Perros are stronger than every.
Fuego en el Ring has an interview with (sort of) CMLL’s Dama de Hierro about enjoying experience in Japan working for REINA. It reads like she adjusted well. She’s headed up December 12. Zeuxis is back in the next couple of days, though she mentioned on Twitter that she’s headed back a third time in January.
LuchaPOP has an 8 luchador single elimination tournament on it’s next show. So far, they’ve announced the Traumas, Negro Navarro, Black Terry, and Atomic Boy.
There’s a luchadora show in Durham, North Carolina this Saturday, and the host is La Sirenta. (No word if Kurt Brown will make it.) More info on the promotion here.
Kcidis has a great cartoon of Dragon Rojo vs Lyger. Darn Angry Birds.
Rob has highlights of 12/07/10 Perros del Mal & 11/01/11 CMLL.

- Black Mamba talks about wrestling in LuchaPOP and other random DF events.
- GALLI has a show in Elmhurst on 11/27. I want to go to one sometime, but when you’re watching 9 hours of lucha week and doing whatever these posts are, it’s tough to get motivated to see more. (And yet, I’m going to ResistancePro…)

Panther v. Felino should be pretty great, but who the fuck wants to see that match after they have so awesomely set up Panther v. Casas. I guess Panther shaves his brother and we get the match at a later date, but I want it now dammit!
I do not get what CMLL is thinking. If they feel the need to “make up” for dropping the ball at Anniversario, then they HAVE to do Panther/Casas. Them not doing that match screams either politiking, or no longer trying to make good.
this sets up Atlantis vs. Shocker hair vs. mask down the road.
Interesting at no Averno in Japan. I guess they think he’ll be gone by then?
if Niño Hamburgesa is the fat 15 year old child (at least he looks like it ) from the last DTU show en La Lopez from the dark match (which was the match of the night) that would be awesome if he starts showing up in regular shows …i love this fat hard hitting guy..and yes he eats probably a lot hamburgesas
@lucas: It wont be long before a skinny kid comes around, and starts feuding with him as Nino Hot Dog
Maybe the novelty of Averno to Japan isn’t worth much without his main rival Mistico and without a mask…
