IWRG trios wars, Gran Alternativa, lineups

Pollo Asesino's new look (photo by Black Terry Jr.)

IWRG (THU) 04/07/2011 Arena Naucalpan [Black Terry Jr. (flickr), Estrellas del Ring, The Gladiatores, Mi Lucha Libre]
1) El Pollo Asesino & Imposible b Alan Extreme & Saruman
Google translate combines the rudos into one name, “Impossible Chicken”. Someone needs to use that. Alan Extreme turned on Saruman (extremely) after the match, so he may be a rudo again.
2) Explosivo, Freelance, Golden Magic NC Carta Brava Jr., Comando Negro, Fresero Jr.
Fresero Jr. took Pollo’s spot here.
3) Eterno, Multifacético, Trauma I b Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro
Trauma I defeated Black Terry to lead the youngsters over the vets.
4) Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro DQ Bestia 666, Damián 666, X-Fly and Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown [#1 Contenders, IWRG IC TRIOS]
Perros continue to wear makeup in the style of the Psycho Circus’ masks. Ultimo Gladiador & Silver King interfered in the match. Psycho Circus were first out, then Damian fouled one of the Oficials and was caught for DQ. That should mean the Oficials are getting the show, but they instead all agreed upon a four way cage match on April 24th, with the masks of the Oficials & Psycho Circus, the hair of Los Perros, and the trios titles of Maniacos & Joe Lider are all on the line.

Tonight’s Arena Mexico show is the final of the Gran Alternativa.

Escorpion seems far more ready to be in a higher spot than Metal Blanco; there’s no reason he couldn’t have already been doing what Polvora is doing. Escorpion is also different enough from the other rudos, while CMLL is overloaded with guys like Metal Blanco at his position. However, Dr. Lucha, on his latest podcast, mentioned CMLL sees Mascara Dorada as it’s Mistico replacement, and I could definitely see him winning this tournament more to give him another big win rather than anything to do with either rookie. I’m leaning towards Dorada.

Mascara Dorada notes he wins these tag team tournaments all the time. Metal Blanco says he was exhausted by last week’s final. CMLL Gaceta rates Ultimo Guerrero as 100% in technique, experience and power.

Universo 2000 wants to start up a box y lucha libre commission in Lagos de Moreno, because the disreputable people are training wrestlers and putting on shows. This is a great plan, except other people claim there is actually commission headed by the local boxers, with no mention of luchadors. The local director of sports, who should be overseeing this, says he knows of the conmission but has no idea how well they’re doing.

Konnan says anyone who betrays La Sociedad will meet the same fate as Billy el Malo. I’m guessing he doesn’t mean “completely fine, just doing jobs for another group.” Konnan says it’s not time for Park to be champion and Cibernetico is just stirring trouble up.

  1. Really hoping the Oficiales finally get thier big revenge win to take one for IWRG.

    Awesome looking upcoming cards, for 4/12 at Arena Mexico, I like that were getting the GEN2011 guys on thier true tec-rudo sides and really happy to see Halcon in Arena Mexico.Tag title match should be great Mascara and UG work well together and Sombra is great with both guys.

    For 4/12 in GDL the third match looks great but I think I’m more interested in match two the more Semental against guys at Azteca and Maya’s level the better, the man is gold.

  2. I went with Dorada/Blanco. Dorada getting a big win before he leaves sounds right and Escorpion is busy in that undercard feud.

  3. So who’s replacing Palacio Negro in GDL? I’m going to guess Dinamete.

    Pollo going from gimmick to gimmick every week is awesome.
