indie roundup: Memes, DTU, AULL, IWRG, Leyendas Inmortales

DTU G21 (SUN) 06/04/2017 Gym Municipal, Irapuato, Guanajuato [DTU]
1) Electrik Boy, Irving, Luigi b Billy, Erwin, Hard Boy
2) Astro Latino & Toto b Drolux & Sirius
3) Angelux b Speed Demon, Gremlin, Loco Latino
4) Pesadilla b Camuflaje, Flayer Boy, Pardux
5) Jimmy & Kevin b Kastigador & Vengador and Chica Ye-Ye & Lokillo
Jimmy & Kevin earned a title shot at Dragon Rojo & Polvora for the DTU NEXO titles.
6) Cobre & Drastik Boy b Jason Cade & Trey Miguel and Crazy Boy & Moria
7) Dr. Pólux, Dr. Pólux Jr., Ovett b Cíclope, Crazy King, Miedo Extremo
Dr. Polux Jr. promised a big victory on the next DTU tour. X-LAW attacked Los Macizos again, with Pesadilla betraying DTU to join them.

Not much of note from the SLP show – except for Dezmond Xavier being a Nerd for the night. I too forgot Polvora & Dragon Rojo were the DTU tag team champions. With that match set up, whatever Dr. Polux is up to and the X-LAW stuff, it seems like DTU is busy all the sudden.

Lucha Memes MDA (SUN) 06/04/2017 Arena Puebla [+LuchaTV, Black Terry Jr. (Flickr)]
1) Arkalis, Millenium, Mini Multifacético, Prayer, Rey Apocalipsis, Rey Samuray b Alas de Acero, Aramis (Estado de México), Arez, Belial, Impulso, Iron Kid (Estado de México)
2) Ángel de Oro & Soberano Jr. b Sadico & Xtreme Tiger
Sadico replaced Rey Horuz (missed flight)
2) Keira & Lady Maravilla b Marcela & Zeuxis
3) Felino & Fuerza Guerrera b Bobby Jack & Toro Bill Sr.
4) Black Terry & Negro Navarro © b Blue Panther & Octagón [Arena Coliseo TAG]
4th defense. Money thrown in.
6) Hechicero (CMLL) b Satánico
good match. Hechicero wants the rights to create his own Los Infernales. Satanico was not in favor of that idea.
7) Último Guerrero b Último Dragón
Guerrero cheated to beat Dragon on the show honoring him.

I think there was some concern about how they would draw in running in this building for the first time, but it looks like it went pretty well in the photos. I almost 100% certain I didn’t understand the Hechicero/Satanico angle right, but know it must be going somewhere because Hechicero brought up it earlier in the weekend too.

AULL (SAT) 06/03/2017 Arena Lopez Mateos [Black Terry Jr. (Flickr), Estrellas del Ring, R de Rudo, SuperLuchas]
1) Dante, Euro, Filder b Príncipe Mexica, Súper Astro Jr., Súper Terry
2) Keira b Lady Maravilla, Diosa Atenea [AULL WOMEN]
new title. La Magnifica was announced but didn’t appear. Keira is new champ, adding it to the Crash & CMLL-Reina titles she holds.
3) Máscarita Sagrada 2013 & Mini Rey Misterio b Mini Psicosis Ripper & Pentagoncito
4) Emperador Azteca, Golden Magic, Terry 2000 b El Bandido (Elite), Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., Sádico
Terry 2000 beat eternal rival Sadico. Money thrown in.
4) Black Terry & Negro Navarro b Caifan & Dr. Cerebro
Money thrown in.
5) Dos Caras Sr., Huracán Ramírez, Octagón DQ Canek, Fuerza Guerrera, Villano IV
6) Dr. Wagner Jr. b Blue Demon Jr.
Dr. Wagner Sr., Blue Demon Sr. and the Guzman family was honored on the 50th anniversary of the promotion. Babe Richard was referee. Wagner wore his classic white outfit for the win. Wagner cheated to beat Demon. They teased a mask match, with them agreeing it’d have to wait until after TripleMania.

First a few big shows Arena Lopez Mateos is holding for it’s 50th Anniversary. They’re never going to get noticed because they’re not a big promotion, but it’s probably one of the longest currently running promotions in the world. It’s just hard to stay in business that long.

The Mascarita Sagrada, teaming with Mini Rey Misterio/Octagoncito AAA, appears to be the Mascarita Sagrada who was most recently in AAA as well. It’s the Sagrada who’s been in Lucha Underground, who suffered a serious knee injury on the last day of Season 3 taping. It’s great that he’s back and interesting it’s on an indie show with another AAA mini who’s kinda of working his own schedule. AAA’s rarely using the minis on TV nowadays and I wonder if they’re allowing them to work their own dates.

IWRG (SUN) 06/04/2017 Arena Naucalpan [+LuchaTV, Estrellas del Ring, The Gladiatores]
1) Power Bull b Shaolin
2) Atomic Star & Lunatic Extreme b Kanon & Keiser Drago
3) Apolo Estrada Jr., Argos, Demonio Infernal b Leo, Rafy, Teelo
4) El Hijo del Diablo, Eterno, Oficial 911 DQ Black Dragón, Dinamic Black, Dragón Fly
Oficial 911 returned to replace Pirata Morgan. Eterno & 911 were DQed – maybe for not catching a dive? Diablo said he’s going after Black Dragon.
5) Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro, Freelance b Hijo del Pantera, Internacional Pantera, Pantera I
best match of the night
6) Trauma I & Trauma II b Oficial AK47 & Oficial Fierro [IWRG IC TAG, #1 Contenders]
winners get a shot at Diablo Jr. I & Black Terry. Oficial 911 fouled Trauma I to give his partners the win.
7) Imposible © b Súper Mega [IWRG Rey del Ring]
first defense. Imposible took 2/3 in another bloody match.

I feel like all the Oficials announced they were retiring at one point. I don’t mind that they’re still here.

LI (SUN) 06/04/2017 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [+LuchaTV, Arena Coliseo Guadalajara]
1) La Pantera & Princesa Tiger b Estrella Explosiva & Súper Estrella
2) Avispón Negro Jr., Flash I, Flash II b Évola, Ráfaga, Ráfaga Jr.
Evola fouled Flash II, but Flash I cardled him for the win.
3) Canek Jr., Hijo del Fishman, Villano III Jr. b Payaso Cocolores, Súper Muñeco, Súper Pinocho
Super Pinocho betrayed Super Muneco once again.
4) Hijo del Lizmark, Rayman, Súper Astro DQ Cien Caras Jr., Máscara Año 2000, Mr. Águila
Mascara fouled Rayman
5) Canek & Máscara Sagrada DQ El Fantasma & Rayo de Jalisco Jr.
Mascara 2000 & Cien Caras Jr. ran in for DQs.

Two straight DQs and a team breaking up isn’t something I’d be that interested in a show, but then this show wasn’t for me with any sort of finish.

Dick Togo & Douki beat Dr. Cerbero & Hanaoki in Coliseo Coacalco.

There will be a Mesias tribute show in Puerto Rico on 09/23. Rey Mysterio, Cage, MVP and Ivelisse are also appearing. Hugo Savinovich is promoting under the same Wrestling Superstar name they’ve used in Chile.

Adrelina has a nice video story on an Arena Mexico maintenance man.

Silueta won in the main event of REINA’s 06/04 show.

LuchaWorld has this week’s Poster-Mania.

Puebla residents complain about too much trash being left around Arena Puebla after shows.

Lineups

CMLL (SAT) 06/10/2017 Arena Coliseo
1) Fantasy & Último Dragóncito vs Mercurio & Pequeño Universo 2000
2) Astral, Pegasso, Starman vs Disturbio, Nitro, Virus
3) Ángel de Oro, Valiente, Volador Jr. vs Ephesto, Luciferno, Mephisto
4) Carístico vs Johnny Idol, Niebla Roja, Stuka Jr., Misterioso Jr., Cavernario, Ripper, Drone, Blue Panther, Pólvora [CMLL LH, semifinal]

I think tomorrow’s match in Guadalajara is not going to determine a champ, but this one I know is not – it’s listed specifically that way. Caristico would normally be the overwhelming favorite but the next big win Caristico gets in CMLL will be the first one since his return. If CMLL’s going with Niebla Roja, he might as well keep winning here.

It is interesting that CMLL’s putting these tournaments on what appear to be two of the least important shows they book. They’re obviously busy on Friday, but it doesn’t appear there was anything happening on the other Arena Mexico shows.

CMLL (SUN) 06/11/2017 Arena México
1) Leono & Sensei vs Apocalipsis & Cholo
2) La Jarochita, La Vaquerita, Skadi vs La Comandante, Metálica, Tiffany
3) Blue Panther Jr., Drone, The Panther vs Cuatrero, Sansón, Universo 2000 Jr.
4) Blue Panther, Dragón Lee, Titán vs Dragón Rojo Jr., Ephesto, Luciferno
5) Atlantis, Marco Corleone, Mistico vs Rey Bucanero, Shocker, Terrible

Case in point. Last Sunday’s finish was on Niebla Roja & Euforia and they’re not back. TGR is back though. Universo gets the third man spot in NGD on this show. CMLL’s not really good at booking four person teams. Or five person teams, I guess.

CMLL (SUN) 06/11/2017 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) El Patriarca & Mr. Ángel vs Destello & Destructor
2) El Alteño, Explosivo, Johnny Dinamo vs Furia Roja, Mr. Trueno, Rey Trueno
3) El Rielero, Magnum, Vaquero Jr. vs Difunto, Joker, Sádico
4) Black Sugar, El Divino, Fantástico, Tigre Blanco vs Gran Kenut, Guerrero de la Muerte, Linterna, Thunder Boy
5) Star Black vs Nautilius [mask]

Nautilius betrayed Star Black about a month ago, and it seemed to be headed to a mask match right away.
