Ultimo Guerrero replaced Euforia. Rudos took 1/3, UG snuck in a foul on Euforia. Fernandez and Navarro helped Arkangel during the match and humilated Arkangel post match.

An Ultimo Dragon show.

IWRG (SUN) 01/25/2015 Arena Naucalpan [The Gladiatores]
1) Anubis Black & Hip Hop Man b Alfa & Dragón Celestial
Anubis Black replaced Dowki. Hip Hop Man wants a rematch against Dragon Celestial for his Argentino championship.

3) Leo, Mike, Rafy, Teelo b Liderk, Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Rayan
Leo was stretchered out after a moonsault onto AK-47. Turtles won anyway and Oficial/Comando Elite fought after their loss.
4) Hijo De Dos Caras, Súper Nova, Veneno DQ Hijo de Máscara Año 2000, Universo 2000 Jr., X-Fly
Mascara was beat in the third, came back to hit Dos with a chair, and was eventually caught.
5) Chicano & Danny Casas b Canis Lupus & Eterno © [IWRG IC TAG]
Challengers Chicano & Danny Casas took falls 2/3 to take the titles. Lupis & Eterno fall in first defense. Third fall saw Eterno beat Danny, Chicano beat Canis, and Chicano surprise Eterno with a casita to win. Eterno & Lupus demanded a hair match with the new champions, then both teams fought until the locker room cleared out to separate them.

Main event feud seems very violent. Unclear if they’re running Wednesday this week or not (guessing not.)

Black Terry Jr. has photos of yesterday’s DTU show, and highlights of the Flamita vs Drastick Boy vs Lanzeloth match.

Today’s CMLL show in Puebla is an oddly busy show, with three matches which would’ve been easy main events on any number of dead DF shows in the last month. The actual main event is La Sombra & La Mascara taking on Ultimo Guerrero & Gran Guerrero, there’s a special Shocker vs Maximo singles match, and Demus challenging Astral for the minis title is way down in the segunda. I’d expect Astral to retain but it’s good to see Astral’s mini title reign being active after Pequeno Olimpico’s was not.

Pesadilla explains wrestling with his mask off in NOAH – the rudos had been taking off his mask during his matches and he knew it wouldn’t be a DQ in a TLC match, so he just put face paint to surprise them and keep going. He doesn’t plan on wrestling unmasked in Mexico.

Segunda Caida starts with Mocho Cota on the 80s DVDs set with a match from 1983. Everyone is good on that set, even I can never find time to finish it.

CMLL (SAT) 01/24/2015 Arena Coliseo [CMLL]
1) Cholo b Bengala
Bengala needed a stretcher after the Cholo Driver.
2) Mercurio b Angelito
Mercurio powerbomb for the win.
3) Star Jr. DRAW Disturbio
double pin draw!
4) Canelo Casas b Starman
Canelo submitted Starman to a cloverleaf
5) Amapola b Estrellita
Estrellita’s losing streak continues, this time to a Devil’s Wings.
6) Pierroth & Sagrado b Delta & Guerrero Maya Jr.
The building’s champs lose in a non-title match.
7) Atlantis, Stuka Jr., Valiente DQ Arkángel de la Muerte, Mephisto, Negro Casas
Mephisto replaced Mr. Niebla on Monday. Arkangel replaced Negro Casas on the day of the show, though Negro appeared in the ring to apologize. Mephisto fouled Stuka.

Kind of wonder if lines got crossed here – this would’ve made sense to be the Coliseo Tag Title match, only Misterioso was booked for Los Angeles and already there by Saturday. The finish of the semifinal doesn’t make any sense unless they’re keeping the program going.

They’re not keeping it going next week – CMLL says these shows are off on 01/31 but back on 02/07.

CMLL (SUN) 01/25/2015 Arena México [CMLL]
1) Apocalipsis & Inquisidor b Leono & Robin
OK. Rudos took 2/3.
2) La Comandante, La Seductora, Zeuxis b Goya Kong, La Vaquerita, Skadi
OK. Rudas took 2/3.
3) Hombre Bala Jr., Stuka Jr., Súper Halcón Jr. b Cancerbero, Puma, Raziel
OK. Tecnicos took 1/3. Stuka replaced Dragon Lee on Monday.
4) Rey Cometa b Tiger [lightning]
OK. Cometa, still hurting, messed up his 450 finish and ended up front flipping into a double stomp on Tiger for the win Both men were hurting, but Tiger indicated he was OK later on.
5) Euforia, Gran Guerrero, Niebla Roja b Ángel de Oro, Dragón Rojo Jr., Super Porky
OK. Rudos took 1/3. Niebla Roja & Dragon Rojo continue to feud.
6) Ephesto, Kráneo, Mephisto b Atlantis, Titán, Volador Jr.
OK. Tecnicos took 2/3. Maybe best match on the show.

Completely skippable show that I zoned out on while trying to figure out some recording stuff and being distracted by other things on screens. Apparently the announcers were mentioning all show that Dos Leyendas is on 03/20 and I missed it every time. Shows how much I was paying attention.

DTU (SUN) 01/25/2015 Autolavado VM, Tulancingo, Hidalgo [TerceraCaida]
1) Lokillo b Angel Jr., Pegazus, Adrenalina
2) Black Fire & Slayer Pack b Génesis & Paranoiko and Amo de la Noche & Calibuz and Corazon Latino & Hormiga
3) Artikus & Rocky Lobo b Ángel o Demonio & Ovett
4) Flamita b Lanzeloth, Drastik Boy
said to be a very good match. Lanceloth asked Drastick Boy for a Alto Impacto title shot, and Drastick accepted for 02/19 back in Tulancingo
5) El Chato, El Junior, El Nene b Cíclope, Crazy King, Miedo Extremo
Calibuz helped his Los Malkriados. Appeared the feud was just starting.
6) Aero Boy, Pesadilla, Violento Jack b Jimmy, Kevin, Tony
First year DTU wrestlers defeat Los Nerds

DTU says the Flamita match will soon be on DTU TV. That would be different but nice. Tercera Caida was there so something should be airing.

Tercera Caida also has a lot of clips from the last few days: Arez getting in a dive on Ciclope on the Naucalpan taping, an Aerostar tope and a Myzteziz dive from the main event and a Psycho Clown tope from the same match. In interviews, Aerostar said Super Fly was living in a fantasy world and talked about his Lucha Underground experience. Plus Fuerza Guerrera talking about his Arena Mexico appearance.

According to this Tweet, Rey de Reyes is Saturday March 14th, and that venue looks like Monterrey’s bullring. Not official yet but it fits the usual calendar.

This week’s AAA TV announced an February 8th Ecatepec taping. No surprise, that’s the other early year venue. If the upcoming return to trip to Naucalpan is also a taping, that might be all AAA needs to stretch out to Monterrey. They’re more likely to get in another taping but they could get by with just the four.

In a related but completely inexplicable note, I think this is the official Michinoku Pro Twitter saying the IWRG Ninja Turtles will be on that Ecatepec taping. They had their own Ninja Turtles going on, that’s why someone might care, but I have no earthly idea how they would come to have such information and also feel the need to share it. I am only reporting because it’s hilarious if true and I want this to be how we all find out. Anyway, the clear point here is I’m going die from doing too many Twitter searches.

In more random Japan news, Mr. Cacao says his promotion has signed a new deal with CMLL. He used to bring luchadors over until FantasticaMania started (and seemed to get exclusivity.)

Playboy Japan has the second part of their notes on the FantasticaMania tour.

CMLL posted a video advertising their training school on Facebook. That’s probably something that needs to be places in more prominent place, because people ask about how to get enroll all the time.

ChilangaMask announced ACH will face Xtreme Tiger on their 03/22 Coliseo Coacalco anniversary show..

UWE announced Ultimo Guerrero & Atlantis were off the 01/31 show, pulled off by CMLL. It’s an angry message, one that seems to indicate they don’t plan no working with CMLL again any time soon.

Chicano & Danny Casas won the IWRG tag team titles today. Black Terry Jr. posted my Phantom Cam videos: a mortal con giro, a plancha con giro and a Hip Hop Plancha

The Lucha y Tinta Libre column writes about Ciclope and Arez debuting in AAA. In talking about the greatest success of Hidalgo luchadors, they mention the current Poetico is the former Campesino del Valle Jr., which I might have known and forgot.

Rob has a music video of 09/30/14 CMLL

LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update. Alfredo talked to Mr. Niebla today for an upcoming post, and Niebla claimed he had an injured trachea which caused him to miss the rest of the shows.

Segunda Caida reviews matches from the 01/17 Sabado Retros show.

LV has reviews of last week’s CMLL Sunday show and Day 5 of FantasticaMania.

SuperLuchas recaps Averno & Mephisto winning a tag team title tournament over Sombra & Dos Caras Jr. and a recap of an AAA in Arena Neza show that totally conflicts with the results I have for that day and will keep me up an extra hour.

DJ Spectro looks back to Satanico’s two big wins in 1984.

I’m not going to be around next Sunday and it’s going to be very tough for me to record it remotely. I’ll try but I dunno, you’re on your own.

Stuka/Hechicero should be good. Third might as well. Molotov continues to be booked, may or may not exist.
