***Caravana de Campeones, 2013***
1) Imposible b Golden Magic [IWRG IC Light]
Best match of the night. Impossible counted a Golden Magic plancha with a dropkick. Imposible’s first defense.
2) Oficial 911 DRAW Centvrión [IWRG Rey del Ring, #1 Contenders]
No Heddi Karoui (said to be injured), so Centvrion & Oficial 911 had a number one contenders match. Double pin in a tapatia, so they made the title match Three Match Fighters
3) Dinamic Black b Centvrión, Oficial 911 [IWRG Rey del Ring]
Dinamic Black held on to his title in his second defense.
4) Hijo de Pirata Morgan b Eterno [IWRG IC MIDDLE]
Hijo del Pirata Morgan took 2/3. Pirata hurt his leg in the second (giving Eterno the fall) but came back to win. Hijo del Pirata Morgan’s second defense
5) Negro Navarro & Trauma I b Pirata Morgan & Pirata Morgan Jr. [IWRG IC TAG, #1 Contenders]
Was listed as a title match against whoever won on Sunday, turned out to be a #1 contenders match when Navarro & Trauma I lost. Navarro & Trauma won, so they’ll get the next title shot.
6) Trauma II b Súper Nova [IWRG JUNIORS]
Less a title match, more a fight. Eterno & Trauma II were seconds and got involved. Super Nova missed a moonsault to the floor in the third when Trauma II moved out of the way, landing badly on his right leg. Fans and people were very concerned. Nova tried to stand and continue, but Trauma II attacked the bad foot and Eterno stopped the match by throwing in the towel. Crowd was split on the finish. Trauma II took 2/3. Trauma II’s first defense.

The write up of the injury makes it seem serious, not a storyline. Eterno was very unhappy after the show.

AAA is back with a TV taping after a two break. There’s another two week break after this. They’re highly annoying – I want more to talk about AAA more often. Someone go back in time and buy all the tickets to the Fusion shows so they would still be running them now.

The Queretaro show is more similar to the post-TripleMania time killing shows than a follow up to the DF taping. Cibernetico and Perro were friends in DF and will team up in Naucalpan, but are on the opposite sides of the main event tonight. The Texano/Psycho Clown feud, one of the running storylines of those July shows, comes back here in the semimain. Crazy Boy & Joe Lider go from defending the tag team titles against Daga & Psicosis to facing Daga & Psicosis to in a non-title match. First half of the show has three good matches: a minis match with the best AAA minis, a trios with new guys, and a trios with Pentagon Jr. & the Infierno Rockers (not a death metal band) versus Jack & Angelico & someone in a high flying showcase.

We know there will be two subs; AAA’s continued to advertise Fenix & Argenis on the show while knowing one is too hurt to wrestle (unless he suddenly got better!) and the other is in Japan.

Meanwhile, CMLL starts a month (at least) of special shows with the Blue Panther 35th Anniversary show. Panther teams up with fellow CMLL legends Atlantis & Negro Casas versus indy maestros Negro Navarro, Solar I and Black Terry in an unlikely to be repeated match. That’s not the main event – a super libre Sombra vs Volador Jr. match will end the show. CMLL’s been strange on what “super libre” means in the past, basically doing the same matches with the same ref bumps, but the normal match between Sombra & Volador is pretty good.

It’s also very curious that Sombra and Volador would have a singles match now if they’re going to have another one in a mask match a month from now. There’s no sign of an Atlantis versus Ultimo Guerrero match, and it would seem unlikely if they’re doing Universal singles matches the next couple of weeks.

Monterrey luchador Bello David passed away yesterday. He had suffered a stroke a couple months ago.

IWL has announced a 09/14 third anniversary show with a four way including Canek, LA Park, Wagner and TBA. I think there’s a good chance I’m going to an IWL show with a million people on it.

LuchaWorld has the latest podcast episode. I’m going to listen to this later today, but it reads like they have a superb idea for rigging the Masked Republic tryout.

Rob has highlights of 02/01/13 CMLL and 08/01-08/11 Puebla (Yoshihashi vs Rush)

You know it’s a WWL show when they do a Los Boricuas reunion Mexico. Also, John Morrison against Monster Pain. It seems like a waste to bring in Chessman to work the opener (besides some dark matches), but that should be a good match for him and likely the best on the Monterrey show.
