IWRG (SUN) 07/08/2018 Arena Naucalpan [+LuchaTV, Black Terry Jr. (Flickr), The Gladiatores]
1) Shadow Boy b Chicanito
2) Atomic Star & Death Metal b Arquero & Mexica
3) Aramis, Freelance, Relámpago b Hijo Del Mosco X-Fly, Lunatic Xtreme, Psycho Kid
Mosco and Lunatic didn’t get along, like their fathers X-Fly and Ovett.
4) Leo, Mike, Rafy b Demonio Infernal, Diablo Jr., Tortuga Teelo
Teelo said the Turtles wouldn’t keep winning. No sign of the new evil turtles this week.
5) Danny Casas, Hijo del Alebrije, Toscano b Eterno, Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Pitbull
Eterno & Danny feuded
6) Cerebro Negro, El Hijo del Medico Asesino, X-Fly b Emperador Azteca, Imposible, Ovett
X-Fly used the ropes to beat Ovett after both bled a lot in the match.
Ovett vs X-Fly is the one IWRG feud which feels pretty safe in happening.
I went to the GALLI show last night. It was alright. I was hot and tired and wasn’t going to go, but then Aeroboy posted he was facing DJZ and I thought that was worth going. That was good, and there were good moments on the show. It was also very long. I’ll have video up on YouTube later on, but the lightning doesn’t look so on my video great. The good news is there appeared to be at least a half-dozen people filming the show or streaming it on Facebook at any time so you might be able to find a better version if you really like.
Today’s Puebla is an in-between chapter show with no obviously strong matches. The main even has Los Ingobernables against Atlantis, Carstico, and Euforia, where Euforia might be a fill-in for Diamante Azul and there’s no particular story to the match. There’s a little bit of a story to Angel de Oro, Niebla Roja, and Mistico taking on Cuatrero, Sanson and Mr. Niebla. The rudo got DQed last week, and maybe they’ll set up a title match next week.
Rey Samuary gets an opportunity in a fourth match, teaming with Rey Cometa & Stuka against Hechicero, Templario and an ill-fitted Mascara 2000. The Dinamita would have made more sense in the main event and Euforia would’ve been great in this match. The opening three matches are the usual grab bag of locals and non-pushed CMLL DF guys. Asturiano & Meyer take on King Rocker & Sombra Dibaolika in a match which might be good if they held it on a different day. Policeman is also booked. The show will air on CMLL’s YouTube channel at 9pm.
Titan’s match with Cody on ROH TV will air tonight on FITE.TV.
Remember last night when I wrote that AAA hadn’t officially announced the 07/29 Ecatepec card with Dr. Wagner on it so it could still change? They announced the 07/29 Ecatepec card today and Wagner is still on it. That’s probably not good. The next actual AAA TV is Friday night.
Tinieblas Jr., Bandido, Black Taurus, Blue Panther and many others are listed as working on August 18th in Brooklyn. That tweet says the crew is working the 17th and 19th, but there’s no mention of where they’d be running those shows. It’s notable Ultimo Ninja & Garza Jr. are listed on the poster on a show in August, though the poster also shows Black Panther as the big image in the center and doesn’t have him listed as working so who knows. The people promoting these shows seem to be the same people who promoted the June shows were people didn’t get paid. Good luck.
Ricky Marvin talks to Diario de Xalapa about returning to NOAH.
