DragonMania XI
1) ? & Rocket vs ?? & ???
Dark match, not listed in results.

4) Shockercito b Pierrothito
5) Saime Sahin DQ Jason Larusso
Tigre Ali & Rey Bucanero ran in for the DQ, attacking Dragon too when he tried to make the save. Bucanero had interrupted Dragon to start the show too.
6) Súper Ciudadano b Patán, Jc Navarro, Ot Fernandez, Tommy Diablo, Fiero, Príncipe Orión, Tigre Rojo, Tigre Rojo Jr., Mohicano, Hanaoka, Carpatio [dragon scramble]
Super Ciudadano beat Patan (as part of their never ending feud.)

9) Carístico, Octagón, Último Dragón DQ Fuerza Guerrera, Tiger Ali, Último Guerrero
Rey Bucanero ran in for the DQ, and Marco ran in to make the save.
10) Carístico, Marco Corleone, Octagón, Último Dragón b Fuerza Guerrera, Mephisto, Rey Bucanero, Tiger Ali
Tiger and Dragon exchanged fouls for the finish, while Sahin & Larussa attacked Bucanero.

Usual Dragon weirdness. Sahin & Larusso are from England. Tommy Diablo was half of the Puerto Rican tag team who challenged for the AAA tag titles in 2014.

A condensed version of this show will air on Samurai TV on June 11th.

Rey Mysterio talked to Record to promote the Lucha World Cup. It’ll be his first appearances in Mexico this year, and he says he’d like to return to wrestling in Mexico occasionally in the future. Misterio’s contract is elsewhere said to be completed with AAA after this weekend, so it’s not clear if those matches will still be with them (if they ahppen.)

This week’s Box Y Lucha has La Parka, the new Elite champions, and the Gran Prix among other items on the cover.

Lucha Libre In Japan – stop reading Joe

05/30 NJPW: Bobby Fish defeats Volador Jr. in the Best of the Super Juniors.
Everyone but Ricochet (3 wins) and Ospreay (1) win are tied at 2. Volador has as good a chance as anyone, though also as good chance as usual at doing nothing.

Lineups

IWRG (WED) 06/01/2016 Arena Naucalpan
1) Orión vs Atomic Star
2) Ángel Guerrera & Aramis vs Adrenalina & Lilith Dark
3) Anubis, Imposible, Peligro vs Dragón Fly, Emperador Azteca, Hijo del Alebrije
4) Freelance, Hijo de Máscara Sagrada, Zatura vs Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro
5) ?, Apolo Estrada, Canis Lupus, Eterno vs Factor, Rayan, Spartan, Spector

The mystery man is the new Insoportable. Atomic Star would’ve been my guess but he’s in the opener.

Lots of random and maybe new names in the early matches. Peligro & Anubis were around in 2011 and may be the same people. Angel Guerrera & Lilith Dark are luchadoras debuting in IWRG.

CMLL (SAT) 06/04/2016 Arena Coliseo
1) Bengala vs Apocalipsis
2) Star Jr. vs Canelo Casas
3) Starman vs El Cuatrero
4) Hombre Bala Jr. vs Disturbio
5) Guerrero Maya Jr. vs Hechicero
6) Blue Panther, Blue Panther Jr., The Panther vs Puma, Tiger, Vangellys
7) Ángel de Oro, Atlantis, Diamante Azul vs Euforia, La Máscara, Niebla Roja

This is the very first time Hechicero vs Guerrero Maya is happening, and it’s on the Saturday not taped show. (Which is probably a lot better than it’d be than a 7 minute lightning match.) Panthers/Cats should be good too.

CMLL (SUN) 06/05/2016 Arena México
1) Hombre Bala Jr., Starman, Stigma vs Metálico, Sangre Azteca, Sansón
2) Blue Panther Jr., Fuego, The Panther vs Misterioso Jr., Pólvora, Sagrado
3) Ángel de Oro, Guerrero Maya Jr., Valiente vs Ephesto, Luciferno, Rey Bucanero
4) Negro Casas & Shocker © vs Atlantis & Diamante Azul [CMLL TAG]
9th defense
5) Máscara Dorada, Máximo Sexy, Mistico vs Euforia, Gran Guerrero, Último Guerrero

Negro Casas/Maximo finish goes nowhere, and part timer Diamante Azul seems set up to end an 18 month title reign. Great.

CMLL (SUN) 06/05/2016 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Micro vs Guerrero de la Muerte
2) Fugaz & Johnny Dinamo vs Diplomático & Quca
3) Cosmos, Marvel, Randy vs Gran Kenut, Mr. Apolo, Relámpago
4) Explosivo, Reycko, Star Black vs Linterna, Mr. Brisa, Thunder Boy
5) El Divino, Flash II, Nautilius vs Joker, Mr. Trueno, Rey Trueno

Randy has been listed before but hasn’t appeared. This is Flash II’s first appearance since November.
