CMLL (TUE) 09/06/2011 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) El Divino & Javier Cruz Jr. b Ángel del Mal & Relampago
2) León Blanco b Gran Kenut
These two were ripping masks.
3) Estrellita & Goya Kong b Amapola & Princesa Sugheit
Crowd was very behind Goya Kong.
4) Astral & Bam Bam DQ Demus 3:16 & Pierrothito
Pierrothito fouled Bam Bam for the DQ. Rematch next week.
5) Hiroshi Tanahashi, Terrible, Texano b Black Warrior, Héctor Garza, La Sombra
Rudos took 2/3.
I have not seen him yet, but there are people complaining about Tanahashi’s effort (or lack thereof) this trip thru. We’ll see how it goes on Friday.
Other News
Lady Apache is working on the September 18th PWR show. Princesa Sugheit is not, so it’s really going to be awkward when Sugheit keeps the women’s title (obviously.)
Mesias wants to face Sting at Heroes Inmoratales. That would probably go OK, though it leaves open who’d get the title match (unless Wagner is just getting title shots until he wins.)
SuperLuchas has video of Vampiro on a TV show talking about extraterrestrials. You know, I would not be surprised if Vampiro was a extraterrestrial. This has nothing to do with this clip, but there’s a weird history rewriting going on message boards, with Sting coming to AAA, that Sting vs Vampiro was a some really good feud. I watched it at the time, it was actually a very not good feud, and I’m pretty sure both guys would totally agree if asked (and blame each other.) Maybe it’s something that looks better in highlight videos on YouTube, but the whole thing was bad TV at time.
AAA’s added Velvet Sky to the list of TNA people appearing soon, this one specifically at Heroes Inmortales.
Rob posted video of Eddy Guerrero’s return to AAA (for one match) in 1996: part 1, part 2.
LuchaWorld points out Santo & El Dandy.

Vampiro is (or was at least) such an inconsistent wrestler. He could put on great matches one night and botch THE ENTIRE MATCH the next.
He was hired by TV Azteca as a fulltime host on that show. Beats the hell out of AAA.
The feud did blow-Vamp did what the booker and Sting ordered. He never went into business for himself.
Don’t suppose you can point me in the direction of these great Vampiro matches?
@Rob: I’ll rephrase “great” to “good”, and no I can’t come up with anything specific.
I will say the Vamp/Sting feud would have been good under a competent booker. Hell, the current WWE creative team might have done a better job because (IMO) they get about half the stuff right and half wrong. So a 50/50 chance at least.
Anything that keeps Vampiro out of the ring/AAA is a good thing.
I wonder why Vamp hasn’t hooked up with EAW yet? The money mark over there loves throwing money at ex-WWF/WCW guys who mean nothing to attendance. Seems like easy free money.
That’s smart of Vamp to get a gig like that. I like Coast To Coast radio so these topics are interesting to me. More and more people believe in stuff like this and Vamp could be the George Noory of Mexico.
Cmon, you guys weren’t a fan of the graveyard match?
@kortej:
It was a booking nightmare ;D
I know you’re just kidding, but the fact, that a part of the storyline was a knockoff of a movie, just made that match more ridiculous.
