AAA QPPLC, MXW, DTU, Shocker

XMW (SAT) 09/22/2012 Deportivo Oceania [Black Terry Jr. (photo), Estrellas del Ring, The Gladiatores]
1) Fly Metalik, Fly Warrior, Infierno Kid Jr., Tornado, Yoruba b Aviador, Chico Yeye, Corsario, Metaelon, Mr. Leo
Turned to a ten man tag with Infierno Kid and Chica Yeye added.
2) Saruman b Impulso, Belial, Fulgore, Fly Star, Oscuro, Aviador [XMW JH]
Impulso came in as champ, but Saruman won the title.
3) Dollar & Ojo Diabolica b Demoledor & Lunathor and Big Memo & Demente Extreme
Dollar & Ojo want a shot a Demoledor & Lunathor’s tag titles on the next show.
4) Dark Dragon & Fenix (AAA) b Freelance & Skayde and Ares & Kronos and Astro De Oro & Astro De Plata [XMW TAG]
Skayde & Durango Kid were champions, but Freelance replaced Skayde and the titles were on the line anyway. Ares replaced Wotan. Astros were eliminated by Skayde/Freelance, who were immediately beat by Team AAA. Dark Dragon gave Ares a top rope Canadian Destroyer onto a light tube.
5) Tóxico DF & X-Fly b Ángel o Demonio, Dance Boy, Ludark Shaitan, Aeroboy, Último Gladiador, Mike Segura
Final two were Toxico and X-Fly. X-Fly landed a moonsault on Toxico for the apparent win, but apparently pinned himself in the process (though no one was much clear on this, only that it was a draw.)

DTU (SUN) 09/23/2012 Unidad Deportiva Fortin de las Flores, Veracruz [Estrellas del Ring]
1) Hades, Halcon Infenral, Infierno Negro vs Angel Negro, Sombra Negra, Vengador
Josaga trainee match
2) Angel Del Futuro, Deveastador, Misterio Blanco Jr., Spider Boy b Desterrado, Jhonky, Sacristan, Slayer Pack
Teams changed around.
3) Lucky Boy & Niño de Ébano b Angel Del Misterio & Extreme Boy and Kaleth & Lanzeloth
the new “Maxima Velocidad” tag team won.
4) Eita b Flamita, Eterno, Dinastía, Principe Halcon, Tribal, Rocky Lobo [DTU ALTO]
Dinastia replaced Hormiga. Eita was a surprise addition announced before the card, in one of his last matches in this trip. Match for vacant Alto Impacto championship, given up by Ciclope to go for the main DTU title. Eita, who beat Flamita to win, will presumably be taking the title to Dragon Gate and returning to Mexico at some point.
5) Araña de Plata Jr., Demente Extreme, Pequeno Cobra, Sexy Star b Black Fire, Crazy Star, Niño Hamburguesa, Paloma Rouse
Demente Extreme replaced Terremoto Negro (in this match, but not in the Masizos – they didn’t want anything to do with him and said they’d determine a new member in December.) Masizos humilated Nino Hamburguesa in (and after?) the match.
6) Paranoiko & Rebelde Punk b Casanova & Perro Mocho Jr.
7) Argos & Semental b Ciclope & X-Fly and Drastik Boy & Pesadilla
Crazy Boy returned to attack Ciclope & X-Fly for messing with Nino Hamburguesa. Argos used the distraction to get in a foul and win.

I assume they’re running a Crazy & Nino Hamburguesa vs the Masizos as Crazy Boy’s return match.

AAA QPPLC (SUN) 09/23/2012 Domo del Mar, Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche [AAA]
1) Fabi Apache & Lolita b Jennifer Blake & Sexy Lady
2) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown b Daga, Joe Lider, Nicho el Millionario
Nicho smacked Lider with a chair to the face to set up loss.
3) Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Texano Jr., Toscano b Jack Evans, LA Park, La Parka
Consejo won via foul

The tryouts advancing to the finals are Rey Maya, Demoledor, New Fire Jr., Full Back Jr., Centenario and Forajido. All have appeared on lineups in Tampico. The trainers were El Apache, Fabi Apache and Brazo, and judges were La Parka Jr., Psycho Clown, and Octagon.

Consejo and Psycho Circus had a title match the same day elsewhere in Campeche, but no results have turned up.

Shocker says he was pulled from last week’s show due to an injury. It must be that tricky knee again.

CMLL hypes tonight’s Arena Mexico show as a big test for Titan, as he must go thru Mephisto in the main event. Semimain is Pesta Negra vs Stuka, Sagrado, and La Mascara. Volador and Devitt meet in a non-title singles match In Guadalajara.

CMLL’s changed Friday lineup – but only changing “Nino de Acero” to “Acero”. Maybe he’s a man now? I don’t want to think too much about that.

Lineups

AAA (SAT) 09/29/2012 Estadio Revolución, Torreón, Coahuila
1) Máscarita Divina & Octagoncito vs Mini Charly Manson & Mini Histeria
2) Fabi Apache, Lolita, Pimpinela Escarlata vs Mari Apache, Polvo de Estrellas, Taya Valkyrie
3) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown vs El Elegido, Silver King Jr., Súper Fly
4) Joe Lider & Zorro vs Halloween & Psicosis
5) LA Park & La Parka vs el Hijo del Perro Aguayo & Konnan

Lineup itself is no big news – it’s nice to know Super Fly still wrestles (as does Dizzy this week), but it’s more the overall schedule. AAA has a taping in Naucalpan on Friday which won’t start until 9, then a lot of those guys travel (bus!) out to Torreon, then they all have to be back in Mexico City for a 6pm start time on what’s supposed to be the debut of an important new show. That’s a rough weekend.

CMLL (MON) 10/01/2012 Arena Puebla
1) Dinámikoo & Tigre Rojo Jr. vs Ares & Policeman
2) Hombre Bala Jr., Stigma, Super Halcon Jr. vs Apocalipsis, Artillero, Súper Comando
3) Ángel Azteca Jr., Starman, Triton vs Arkángel de la Muerte, Hooligan, Skándalo
4) Ángel de Oro, Rey Cometa, Stuka Jr. vs Namajague, Shigeo Okumura, Taichi
5) Virus vs Fuego [CMLL SL]
Virus is champ
6) La Máscara, Máscara Dorada, Mistico vs Black Warrior, Dragón Rojo Jr., Rey Escorpión

Virus going for the third (known) defense. This is how you know it’s been a long time since he’s defended the belt: last win was over Dragon Lee. Virus isn’t repeating that result any time soon.

Cometa’s unmasked debut here. Tercera is Angel Azteca Jr.’s return or (more likely) a fill in.

DLF (THU) 10/04/2012 Bar F Bolko
1) Smaker vs Bárbaro Cavernario [OCCIDENTE MIDDLE]
Smaker is champion

First title defense comes on the Dantes Lucha Factory monthly bar show.
