CMLL on Fox Sports (Mexico): 2011-11-19

taped 2011-11-11 @ Arena Mexico

file: match 1
match 2
recap

 

Misterioso strong!

Metro, Sangre Azteca, Stuka Jr. vs Misterioso Jr., Pólvora, Rey Escorpion: okay enough, but there are better matches with this same basic group of guys to be had. Sangre was more active than usual and Misterioso wanted to do big power moves, but it’s just otherwise unmemorable. I’m starting to think everyone in a Metro match should wear a helmet. Either he’s going to crash someone else on their head on the german suplex, or he’s going to smash his own head on the ramp dive.

 

leave this to the experts

Blue Panther, Shocker, Super Porky vs Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas: another brick in the Negro/Panther wall. It seems much more a Panther feud than Negro Casas (who’s just being Negro Casas), and also still one that seems to set up Felino & Negro teaming rather than a singles match. But maybe we’ll get there yet.

11/26-27 lucha times

box

Rushing to get this done, post all the mistakes below.

————

52MX: The Cibernetico from Sunday, and maybe the tercera prior if they have time.

LATV: Averno vs La Mascara, TRT, Cholo. I still haven’t gotten to this one.

TF: The Bobby Zavala vs Evola hair match that you didn’t know was happening.

CMLL-Gala: Dragon Rojo vs Lyger should end up here, as well as the Delta/Maya/Metro tecnico uncomfortableness.

CMLL-FOX: which would leave this with Negro/Panther trios, and Niebla/UG/Volador vs Atlantis/Sombra/Dorada

AAA Regional: this is the first week with NO duplication between the shows. AAA hasn’t posted the official lineup, but this looks to have women’s tag, minis match (with return), Electro/Tiger vs Silver/UG and Joe Lider vs Nicho.

AAA Main: and this would have Perros/Octagon vs Wagner/Fenix/Aero, and Mesias/Jack vs Chessman/Perro (with another return). If you’re the sort of person who likes to record TV shows and put them on the internet, this is the show that could use someone recording it right now.

C3: La Mascara vs Averno! Again! The end of Texano, nearly the end of Dark Angel.

Mega6: swing match is minis match that I think was good. Also, a women’s and a grab bag main event.

Puebla: tag title match? Still not sure here.

Perros: no idea, but it should be the last week of the Plan Sexenal taping.

IWRG: they’re running about 10 days behind live, so Perros vs Cerebro/Espiritu/Silver + Apolo, Terry, Pirata vs Magic, Pantera, Nova

Perros win, Texano, bodybuilding

IWRG (THU) 11/24/2011 Arena Naucalpan [Black Terry Jr. (flickr)Estrellas del Ring]
1) Guizmo & Volaris b Matrix Jr. & Sky Ángel
1 fall match.
2) Bizarro & Impacto Negro b Centurión & Eragón
Comando Negro was replaced by Impacto Negro, who may be the luchador formerly known as Pacto Negro.
3) Dinamic Black, Golden Magic, Tritón b Alan Extreme, Carta Brava Jr., Imposible
4) Bugambilia del Norte b Eterno
Bugambilia won in straight falls and challenged for a hair match. Eterno, ashamed of the loss, accepted.
5) Bestia 666, Damián 666, X-Fly b Espíritu, Trauma I, Trauma II
Perros, the current IWRG trios champions, took falls 2/3.

At yesterday’s press conference, Texano explained his jump as just looking to try new things. Texano says, unlike his brother, he’s 100% rudo in his heart, but has yet to decide if he’ll just the Perros del Mal faction or work against them on their shows. Working against them and starting his own faction seems to best for creating interesting matchups – if he was going to be the fifth most important person in the group, he probably should’ve stayed in CMLL. Texano says CMLL and Terrible respected his decision, which is why they let him participate in the bodybuilding contest. There’s video of the press conference there, and also here.

A news article on the bodybuilding contest says this year’s controversies were Valiente over Astral and Dark Angel over Dalis. The fans thought the those two runners up should’ve won and booed the winners. Picudo Jr. is much bigger than his fellow classmates, which seemed to give him an unfair advantage, and everyone loved Zacarias. Notable people who did not participate  include Rush (who was still in the building), Molotov, Metro, Polvora and Amapola.

Today’s Arena Mexico show is another Felino/Blue Panther clash. Shocker and Negro Casas are on those teams, and it may be time to strongly indicate a change in the Sin Piedad main event if that’s the direction they’re going. Lyger faces the Guerreros in the semimain.

I’m eventually making my way to the Resistance Pro show tonight (please don’t scream at me), but Lucha Times and another recap post should turn up later. Magic of the internet.
