IWRG (SUN) 11/27/2011 Arena Naucalpan [Black Terry Jr. (flickr), Estrellas del Ring, The Gladiatores]
1) Gemelo Fantastico I & Gemelo Fantastico II b Centurión & Tritón
2) Bugambilia del Norte, Dinamic Black, Golden Magic b Alan Extreme, Carta Brava Jr., Eterno
straight falls. Eterno has still not beat Bugambilia.
3) Multifacético, Oficial Rayan, Zumbi b Apolo Estrada Jr., Oficial 911, Oficial AK47
4) Hijo de Máscara Año 2000, Hijo de Pirata Morgan, Pirata Morgan b Pantera, Trauma I, Trauma II
Piratas and Mascara still do not get along, but won anyway.
5) Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Solar I, Villano IV b El Brazo, Máscara Año 2000, Negro Navarro
2/3 for tecnicos, Rayo of course getting the pin. Mascara Ano 2000 dislocated a shoulder early in the match.
Black Terry Jr. has video of Mascara Ano 2000 being checked on by his rivals and back in the training room.
CMLL (SUN) 11/27/2011 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [El Occidental]
6) Dragón Rojo Jr. b Máscara Dorada
Dragon Rojo attacked Dorada during his entrance and won the first fall. Mask ripping second fall, with Dorada taking the fall. Dragon beat Dorada in the third fall when Dorada had his hand on the ropes.
Looks like a really bad turnout.
Other news
El Pancracio’s latest update is up, and the opening article seems to be guessing Sangre Azteca as the next luchador jump to Perros del Mal. Unless there’s another person who’s traveled to Europe to train wrestled and has “been converted to tecnico against his will.” I don’t think Sangre Azteca really wanted to be a tecnico (how you can tell: watch any of his 2011 matches), but I do think he was told he’d have plenty to do as a tecnico and not getting any of that is probably as much the source of the unhappiness.
Tonight’s Arena Puebla show has the Virus vs Dragon Lee CMLL (occasionally super) lightweight title match. It doesn’t feel like time for Dragon Lee to win, but CMLL is so clearly high on him that it feels 50/50. That match would be a really great week for Puebla to turn up on YouTube, just to know what Virus is capable. (That’s really why to root for Virus to win – more Virus singles matches.)
Luchas 2000 #597 has five different stories on the cover.
Rob has highlights of 11/15/11 C3.

Site Notes
Both Guerra de Titanes and Sin Piedad are 12/16, so I’ll definitely be running a chat and live results on that night.
There’s now a page of YouTube/video links added in the last week, in case you’re looking for what popped up (or what I’ve gotten to) lately. Updates nightly.
Lineups
CMLL (SUN) 12/04/2011 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Thunder Boy vs Javier Cruz Jr.
2) Esfinge & Hierro vs Ángel del Mal & Infierno
3) León Blanco vs Gran Kenut
4) Ángel Azteca, Black Metal, Gallo vs Magnum, Mr. Trueno, Rey Trueno
5) Hijo del Fantasma & La Máscara vs Rey Bucanero & Terrible
Down to just five DF guys (and the return of local vs local feuds.) Magnum seems to be flipping back and forward between sides depending on who they need on that show.
AAA TV (THU) 12/01/2011 Gimnasio Agustín Millán
1) Fabi Apache, La Braza, Lolita vs Jennifer Blake, Sexy Star, Yuriko
2) Fenix & Jack Evans vs Dark Dragon & Halloween
3) Joe Lider vs Nicho el Millionario [street]
4) Súper Fly & Zorro vs Octagón & Tito Santana
5) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown vs Chessman, Decnnis, Último Gladiador
6) Dr. Wagner Jr. & Electroshock vs LA Park & La Parka
KrisZ had most of this last night.
projected air date: 12/10? Which means this airs before Guerra de Titanes, but they don’t appear to have anything to air the day after unless they do a really quick turnaround. (It feels like they were expecting a Teleton pre-emption here. Heck, I still am.)
AAA pushes the rudo main event team, questioning if they can get along. This is a really strong idea, if they had more than 4 days to build to it. (They’ll have a whole 7 on TV – if they bring it up.)
Second match should be fun. Semimain could be too. Both the tag matches have interesting combinations; Tito is going to have a long day. (And probably Dark Dragon too.)
Last stop before Guerra de Titanes. Which appears to be
definite
1) Jeff Jarrett (c) vs Mesias [AAA WORLD] – assuming Mesias isn’t that hurt
2) Dr. Wagner Jr. (c) vs LA Park [AAA LA] – probably with both sons involved
vague directions
– something with Nicho/Lider (seems to soon to do hair/hair for me, since Nicho just lost it)
– something with Jack vs Los Perros (maybe combined with previous?)
– something with Gunner!
– maybe something with Pimpi and the REINA’s title
