IWRG (SUN) 04/01/2012 Arena Naucalpan [The Gladiatores]
1) Chicano, Saruman, Tritón b Comando Negro, Gemelo Fantastico I, Gemelo Fantastico II
Chicano and Comando Negro feuded, with Chicano getting the winning pin. Money thrown in after this match.
2) Alan Extreme, Dr. Cerebro, Suicida DQ Aeroboy, Hormiga, Violento Jack
Alan Extreme replaced Freyser. His mask was ripped up, and the DTU stapled him in his forehead. Team IWRG won in straight falls, Violento Jack DQed for a Alan Extreme martinete onto a chair. Alan was strecehred out.
3) Oficial Factor, Oficial Rayan, Oficial Spartan b Dinamic Black, Saruman, Tony Rivera
Saruman replaced Golden Magic, and was ruled unable to continue after a Spartan legdrop in the second. Tecnicos had taken the first, but the Oficials took the second with the advantage. AK-47 ran out to take Saruman’s place, but the Elite caused the tecnicos to kick AK-47, and he attacked them back to set up the win. After the match, the Oficials Elite made it clear they were not friends with AK-47.
4) Eterno, Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., Pirata Morgan Jr. b Angelico, Black Terry, Hijo de LA Park
Match shuffled & added to around due to main event changes. Halloween was over at AAA TV. Wagner’s team takes 1/3. Wagner snuck in a foul on Angelico.
5) Hijo de Pirata Morgan, Pirata Morgan, Trauma I, Trauma II b Cien Caras Jr., Hijo de Máscara Año 2000, X-Fly, Zumbi
IWRG announced Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. was stuck at the airport in Guadalajara. Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. sure appeared to be wrestling in Pachuca at this time. Match was changed from a trios title match to an atomico, with X-Fly, Zumbi, and the Traumas all getting involved (and the price of one Pirate). Pirates took falls 2/3, then asked for a title match again. X-Fly proposed as FdT vs Navarros vs Pirates vs Dinamitas cage match.

I screwed up with the 03/18 results here – Oficiales Elite beat Gringos VIP to win the Mexico State trios titles on that show. They were mentioned as champions here.

There is no IWRG show this Thursday.

PdM (SUN) 04/01/2012 Plan Sexenal [Estrellas del Ring, R de Rudo]
1) Black Thunder & Ek Balam b Freelance & Mr. Aguilita
2) Pete Powers, Talisman Jr., Taya Valkyire b Hanaoka, Keira, Zuki and Celestial, Cósmico, La Vaquerita
No word on the missing person from the second side. Tatsuke looks like it may be Kansuske, but it’s not totally clearly in the pictures.
3) Trauma I & Trauma II b Dr. Cerebro & Skayde
4) el Hijo del Perro Aguayo & Texano Jr. b Héctor Garza & Toscano [Relevos Increíbles]
Moved to the semimain so these guys could get to AAA TV in time. Usual partner brawled with usual partner early on, though it fell apart with fouls and back to the usual sides. Aguayo pinned Garza (Garza giving up for him) in one version, but it might have been elimination and the other pins just didn’t happen. Traumas ran out to help beat up Consejo.
5) Violento Jack b Peligro, Aeroboy, Pesadilla, La Hormiga [PdM EXTREMO]
Jack wins the vacant championship (X-Fly gave it up leaving the promotion.) Hormiga was a mystery man in this match involving the remaining usual Perros del Mal hardcore trio and the DTU trio. “Lots of Errors”.

AAA says Mesias is out of action until further notice due to Perro’s attack on his arm. I take that to mean that they’ll just keep advertising him everywhere. He’s not on Neza’s taping and they don’t tape again for three weeks, so it’s an injury angle we might not see much of.

Lady Apache says she has no idea why her hair match with Princesa Blanca didn’t happen. Blanca told her she didn’t back out either, and they both had signed a contract. They were both looking forward to it and hope it can happen at some point in the future.

Notes from tonight’s AAA taping

• Perros lost the main event by Perro Jr. run in, who then challenged Mesias for a title shot
• Consejo beat Maniacos with help from Hombre de Negro and a foul on Silver King
• La Parka fouled Octagon to cause his team to lose
• Fuerza Aerea won, but were beat up by Consgrados after the fact

SuperLuchas #456 has Mil Mascaras in the WWE HOF and a report on the Todo x el Todo show. Inside, Daga tells the El Amigo de Siempre column that he had planned to bring in Davey Richards for this upcoming DDD show, but postponed it due to his hand injury. Which doesn’t quite make sense if he’s still on the card, but the show was pushed back from it’s original date and maybe Richards isn’t available on the new one.. They’re trying again for that match in June.
