CMLL (TUE) 09/25/2012 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Espectrum & Èvola b Black Metal & Halcón de Plata
2) Bárbaro Cavernario & Disturbio b Leo & Stigma
3) Pólvora, Puma King, Skándalo b Gallo, Rey Cometa, Starman
Very Cometa/King focused with the other guys not doing much. Puma won with a powerbomb.
4) La Sombra, Rush, Valiente b Dragón Rojo Jr., Euforia, Rey Escorpión
Euforia replaced Mr. Aguila. Tecincos won, but rudos stormed the ring after the match and took Valiente’s mask.
5) Volador Jr. b Prince Devitt
Volador won clean with a backcracker. Mije helped out early, finished sounded clean.
Volador vs Prince Devitt I: no Mije, Volador lost
Volador vs Prince Devitt II: no Mije, Volador lost
Volador vs Prince Devitt III: Mije there and Volador wins.
AAA sent out the Heroes Inmortales lineup, which is exactly as the local newspaper had about three weeks ago (except they know how to spell Atomic Boy.) The superlatives are overwhelming in this one: Silver King, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. and Jeff Jarrett are “the three best rudos of the day” (what a terrible day) and the 12 wrestlers in Copa Antonio Pena “want to have the opportunity to honor Antonio Pena.” Toscano & Texano are in that match, I’m pretty sure their gimmick is the opposite.
Chessman, hyping the Heroes Inmortales card, is unsure why Lider is getting another shot for the tag belts, or why he picked such a lousy partner. The article mentions the AAA & the local promoter made sure public transportation would be running after the show, which is a help given how late into the night that show will run.
I will not get to AAA TV until tonight, but I guess the announcers been saying Heroes Inmortales is on 10/05. All the advertising says 10/07. It’s actually 10/07.
Mercurio vs Fantasy, mask vs mask, will take place on 10/14 at Arena Mexico. CMLL held contract signing yesterday, with both guys giving usual quotes. They’re pushing experience (Fantasy) versus youth (Mercurio), which probably means bad news for the experienced guy when CMLL is push all new stars. Fantasy had been a fringe guy on the roster until about the last year, as well. Fantasy refers it to as a (the?) celebration of 20 years of Pequeno Estrellas. Mercurio’s hometown was mentioned as Monterrey, which is at least the third different hometown he’s given. Panico said they’re still putting together the lineup and don’t know where the match will be on the card, suggesting it could be the main event. It will not be a main event. Astral/Pequeno Nitro was the fourth match, which is the most likely spot for this one.
CMLL usually has a press conference in the next week or so. (They’ve got all the usual material ready: foreign people visiting, other people leaving, tournament to talk about, groups breaking up and/or forming.) They could’ve just waited until that to announce this match, but maybe they wanted to make sure we knew they were actually going to have the match despite not booking them together this week.
AAA will interview La Parka tonight on a webcast. Ask him if he he bought his son a new bike after Cibernetico broke his old one. Also, is Taboo alive?
Mr. Cacao says he’ll be back in CMLL in October.

“Astral/Pequeno Nitro was the fourth match”
Aereo? Acero? Astral? Covering CMLL is a mindfuck.

– random Payasos
– Los Porros
– ex-CMLL guys wondering what happened to indepedent wrestling
