IWRG (THU) 09/22/2011 Arena Naucalpan [Black Terry Jr. (flickr), The Gladiatores]
1) Astro de Plata Jr. & Astro Rey Jr. b Alan Extreme & Keshin Black
2) Carta Brava Jr., King Drako, Picudo Jr. b Dinamic Black, Eterno, Golden Magic
Carta Brava beat Golden Magic again.
3) Billy el Malo, Escoria, Espíritu b Durok, Freeyser, Machín
Escoria & Billy replaced Cuervo & Ozz, who are still in Japan. AAA luchadors demanded a rematch after their loss.
4) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown DCO Cien Caras Jr., Hijo de Máscara Año 2000, Máscara Año 2000 Jr.
Dinamitas took one, Psychos took two, and dives at the end (topped by a Murder plancha) led to the countout. The two teams want a super libre rematch for next week.
CMLL (FRI) 09/23/2011 Arena Mexico [CMLL, La Catedral]
1) Lady Apache & Marcela b Princesa Blanca & Princesa Sugheit
Rudas took the first, tecnicas came back to win the last two
2) Volador Jr. b La Máscara, Valiente, Stuka Jr., Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Metal Blanco, Palacio Negro, Pólvora, Shigeo Okumura, Puma King, Tiger [Leyenda de Plata, semifinal]
Teams were Mascara, Polvora, Guerrero Maya, Delta, Palacio Negro, Tiger vs Valiente, Stuka, Volador, Metal Blanco, Okumura and Puma King. Eliminations went Tiger (via Stuka), Okumura (Maya), Puma (Palacio), Palacio (Metal), Delta/Stuka eliminated each other, Metal Blanco (Polvora), Guerrero Maya (Valiente), Polvora (Volador), Valiente (Mascara) and Mascara (Volador). Mascara did have fan support at the end, but crowd was happy to see Volador win. Maybe too much – Volador celebrated by attacking Monito.
3) Jushin Lyger, La Sombra, Máscara Dorada b Averno, Dragón Rojo Jr., Mephisto
tecnicos took 2/3, Lyger beating Averno.
4) Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas b Rey Bucanero, Terrible, Texano
TRT got themselved DQed in the first for excessive violence, then Peste took the second. Negro & Felino got casitas on Bucanero & Texano.
5) Atlantis b Último Guerrero
UG jumped Atlantis to win a quick fall one, Atlantis won a quick fall two and took fall three to win the match. UG had Atlantis up in an Atlantida, Atlantis escaped for a small package, then got his own Atlantida for the win. He appeared to be limping after the match.
This show included the final of the 3M mask creation contest. Not only did La Sombra appear to congratulate the winner, but so did Salvador Lutteroth Jr. Super Porky was the legend honored. I’m guessing these legends bits are to dispute the notion that CMLL is missing the older stars, since they’re honoring so many of them.
CMLL Gaceta has the winners of the 3M mask creation contest. There’s some really creative idea, but the best one won.
AAA announced Fabi Apache, Mari Apache, and Cinthia Moreno vs Sexi Star, Jennifer Blake and Velvet Sky in a lights off/glow in the dark match for Heroes Inmortales. What happened to Lolita? Lights off seems a weird choice for a women’s match; they’re there to be seen.
Sting “hyped” up his match was Mesias in a very generic and boring interview that’ll air on AAA TV today. I hope he brings more to the match than he did for that.
LuchaWorld has Ras de Lona from two weeks ago.
Lucha Libre In Japan
No full results available as of yet, but La Comandate and Zeuxis won the REINA tag team titles earlier today.

Lineups
CMLL (FRI) 09/30/2011 Arena Mexico
***CMLL 78th Anniversario***
1) Ángel Azteca Jr. & Hombre Bala Jr. vs Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II
2) Dragon Lee & Stuka Jr. vs Euforia & Misterioso Jr.
3) Jushin Lyger vs Diamante, Olímpico, Mephisto, Hijo del Signo, Fuego, Dragón Rojo Jr., Metro, Rey Escorpion, Virus, Máscara Dorada, Sangre Azteca [Leyenda de Plata, cibernetico, semifinal]
4) Héctor Garza vs Rush, Blue Panther, Felino, Máximo, Texano, Mr. Águila, Negro Casas, Terrible, Rey Bucanero [cage, hair]
An show in desperate need of a strong semimain to get people interested has no such match. Only four matches too; the idea of VIP lightning match for September died a couple weeks. The two luchadors in the hottest and most acclaimed feud of the year here, La Mascara & Averno, are not either this card or the Guadalajara card. This will do worst than expected.
Lyger & Mascara Dorada are the clear favorites in this block.

I actually think the Anniversary card looks like alot of fun. Match number two could end up being awesome.
“Volador celebrated by attacking Monito.” Finally someone standed up to that blue monkey bully, & ended his reign terror.
@Calabcd44: “reign of terror” clearly I can’t type in complete sentences. :)
cmll anniversary card looks weak to me.no women’s match.I think they should of held the leyenda de plata tournament a week earlier,so the finals could of been on this card
52MX has the right two matches, HOORAY.
For U.S. viewers of CMLL TV: My advice is to wait a half hour and then watch the Sombra/Averno match straight through. (assuming you have DVR capabilities) Fantastic match!
Demus/Warrior is vastly disappointing.
C3 starts with the mini’s match. GDL has a boring Sangre Azteca match. That guy is just the worst.
ACM has the 4 way title match with Konan Big, Big Neurosis, Hijo De Ninja and Simbolo.
@Tim: Did you like the match?
@conjuarez:
Not really. Ninja kept forgetting if he was a rudo or tecnico and Konan Big getting eliminated first is some BS. And it’s kinda sad this show seemed to outdraw Sombra/Averno.
Viva Mexico-Peru report (skip to match 4 for AAA luchadors):
1. Class Dinero y Poder over los Numeros-Los Numeros are good, but they are mainly here for entertainment. CDP is good, and if you can track down any of their matches, I’d recommend it.
2. Dr. Veneno over Trash-Perfectly acceptable match proving they care more about Dr. Veneno than Trash.
3. Dorian over Hades-Perfectly acceptable match proving Peru>Ecuador.
4. Aerostar, Mini Histeria, Rey del Aire over Apocalipsis, Axl, Caoz. Mexicans/Rey del Aire took falls 2 and 3 in a best of three falls match. I guess Mexican rules even though not AAA rules. Mexicans were clear technicos here and the random team of Peruvians were put over as Rudos. Great effort put on by all these guys and a fun match.
This was at a trade show designed to promote business between Mexico and Peru that happened to have some Lucha Libre matches go on in the middle of it. No reason for any of these guys to put on a good effort, and not connected at all to LWA angles down here really or to AAA angles in Mexico, but everyone showed up and put on a good show. After the main event, Aerostar gave a Aerostar/Abismo Negro mask to someone associated with the group putting on the event.
I’m uploading pics now and will post a link tomorrow for anyone who is interested.

As Rob said, Averno vs. Sombra was incredible. Both guys did such a great job.
