Rush keeps title, cat fights, AAA on (Mexico) PPV, Garza tries to help CMLL make a decision

CMLL (TUE) 08/23/2011 Arena Mexico [CMLL, Record]
1) Mercurio & Pequeño Nitro b Aereo & Pequeño Halcón
So Halcon is not a rudo?
2) Dalys la Caribeña, Estrellita, Marcela b Amapola, Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sugheit
Dalis & Estrellita replaced Luna and Lluvia
3) Dragon Lee & Magnus vs Puma King & Tiger [lightning]
Rey Bucanero, Felino, Tony Salazar and Shocker were all ringisde in this match. This match was taped for the reality TV show these guys are on, so anything going on might only be relevant to that pocket universe (and might only be airing there.) Magnus dislocated his shoulder during the match, but Dragon Lee still won the match. The rudos argued after the match, with Bucanero and Tiger attacking Felino. Puma seemed conflicted, but on his father’s side. Magnus’ shoulder was popped back in later.
4) Diamante, Metal Blanco, Palacio Negro b Cancerbero, Raziel, Yoshihashi
5) Ángel de Oro, Blue Panther, Máximo DQ Averno, Mephisto, Pólvora
Tecnicos took 1/3. Averno fouled Maximo to get a DQ, even Rodolfo (Averno’s dad) was the referee.
6) Rush b Mr. Águila [CMLL LH]
Dragon Lee and Mephisto were seconds. Rush took 1/3 for the successful title defense, still was booed.

Big takeway from this show: Puma’s new gear looks GREAT. I was going to use it as the picture here unless something magical happened, like Rush making a really goofy face.

Shocker posted on Twitter that he was finishing up taping for this reality show on Thursday and it’d start airing in October.

Other News

Dorian Roldan says Heroes Inmortales will be on PPV.

CMLL sent out a press release where Hector Garza proposed a three way apuesta match with himself, Ultimo Guerrero and Volador for the Anniversary main event. It’s good someone has an idea. Throw in Atlantis, and this is the match Dr. Lucha had been hearing.

Los Perros held a press conference to officially announce the signing of Nicho to the promotion. Nicho says he needed to get paid, and will hold nothing back against the AAA wrestlers.

A luchador/taxi driver in El Paso was stabbed by US military personal and saved by other military personal. The luchador’s name (real or gimmick) is not mentioned in the article, but it’s apparently Black Fish, the disowned son of Fishman. Black Fish did miss the show at Plaza Juarez this weekend, and that story was going around there.

This Record article about Seuxis heading back to Japan is nothing I haven’t already mentioned, except Seuxis apparently now has TWO outfits. I can really no longer joke that she’s headed to a barbecue right after her match. Some video of the CMLL/REINA tournament so far can be found over here.

The first half video  of the Guadalajara QPPC AAA talent search contest has been posted (which means it airs on AAA TV this week and I still haven’t got to it, shhh.)

Black Terry Jr. posted video of the Rolling Boy vs Dark Devil match from Sunday – part 1 and part 2 – plus what looks like a preshow workout.

Main event: revenge of Zacarias!

Fourth match is either the year’s most obvious instant of The Hat at work, or dangerous close to my dream Three Kings team. Seriously weird. I hope Cometa has a great match, because this may be the first time Ultimo Guerrero has noticed he existed. (Surely there’s been meetings held about Dragon Lee.)
