Todo x el Todo (THU) 12/15/2011 Gimnasio Juan De La Barrera [Black Terry Jr., Estrellas del Ring, R de Rudo, The Gladiatores]
1) La Vaquerita & Ludark Shaitan b Rossy Moreno & Sexy Lady
2) Mascarita Plateada b El Lobito [WWA MINI]
Plateada kept the title.
3) Solar I DRAW El Dandy [FLLM MASTER]
Solar kept the title via draw. Dandy gave him credit but asked for a rematch.
4) Rayo de Jalisco Jr. b Cien Caras Jr. [WWA HEAVY]
Rayo took falls 1/3 to keep the title.
5) Angel Blanco Jr. b El Hijo Del Santo [WWA WELTER]
Hijo del Solitario was with Angel Blanco, and attacked Santo in the third. Reports differ on how directly that led to the Blanco win (and title change.) Blanco took 1/3. They’re still hyping a three way mask match in February.
6) Blue Demon Jr. b Villano IV [PWR HEAVY]
Demon took 2/3 to keep the title.
They really needed Blanco to win if anyone was going to take the feud seriously; that’s the only storlyline they’ve been working on here. Attendance looks improved based on the photos I’ve seen.
The mask match will be on or around February 6th, 2012. That’s Hijo del Santo’s 30th anniversary.
IWRG (THU) 12/15/2011 Arena Naucalpan [The Gladiatores]
1) Astro de Plata & Astro Rey Jr. b Pacto Negro & Súper Black
2) Alan Extreme, Carta Brava Jr., Imposible b Centurión, Dinamic Black, Tritón
Carta Brava ripped up Dinamic Black’s mask and pinned him for the win. Those two talked about a mask challenge.
3) Bugambilia del Norte, Golden Magic, Multifacético b Apolo Estrada Jr., Black Terry, Eterno
Golden Magic beat Eterno for the win. They challenged each other for their Welterweight championships.
4) Oficial 911 & Oficial AK47 b Trauma I & Trauma II
Oficials jumped the Traumas – except it was someone else in Trauma gear, and the real Traumas jumped them. Traumas are mentioned as using a knife (!!!) and a lemon squeezer (!?!?). Traumas took 1, Oficials the second. 911 & Trauma I were eliminated in the third. Trauma II dominated, but AK-47 pulled out a hold to win. Oficials were thrilled with the win and put out the mask challenge again. Traumas agreed, and they signed contracts right there and then to do it next week.
5) Canis Lupus, Head Hunter I, Hijo de Pirata Morgan b Héctor Garza, Pantera, Texano Jr.
Team Perros (and Cats) del Mal took 2/3. Canis Lupus, the sensational character find of 2011, keeps bugging Pantera for a show at the Rey del Ring title.
You can tell a year end show is coming up here, everything is wrapping up at once.
Previews
Vampiro, last seen mentioning how he doesn’t pay attention to lucha libre nowadays and has not interest in coming back, is coming back to lucha libre tonight. Get excited! Box Y Lucha’s forum says Vampiro’s facebook says he’s going to AAA.
Dorian Roldan promised surprises for tonight’s show, and Vampiro would make sense as a surprise (though I’m not much sure he makes sense as a return.) If you listened to last night’s podcast with F4W podcast with Dr. Lucha, and he thought a CMLL person (or two) might show up tonight as well. Tercera Caida indicated Toscano might be there – I’d expect he and Texano to have some sort of presence on the show, and it’s possible one could fill in for Halloween (who was hurt at the last TV taping.)
Not convinced CMLL has done enough to draw curious fans for tonight’s show. I’m sticking with the 7,500 attendance, and feeling like I may be generous for that. It’ll be the lowest of the four major shows this year. (Porky/Maximo vs Texano/Terrible drew 10,500, and no one remembers it happened.)
AAA hasn’t run the Puebla baseball stadium for a TV taping in a long while. They drew a sell out at Gimnasio Miguel Hidalgo back in September, but that’s only a 4,000 seat building, and this baseball stadium has a capacity of 12,000. It’s a different seat configuration used for lucha libre – WWE drew 10,000 there in 2010 – so AAA could fit in a decent size crowd. I just have no feel on how they are going to do, running a big building near Mexico City after running small buildings outside of TripleMania. My hunch is they’re in the same neighborhood as CMLL, but I don’t feel strongly about the guess and could be off wildly either way. It’s a strong card, I just don’t know what a strong card means right now, and what effect these two will have on each other when they’re only really 90 minutes apart. (Guadalajara will draw 1,500)
As of 2:30 pm, I could find a single ticket at the CMLL show as close as “Section Row 2, Row 5” (the second group of rows, not the second row.) Single tickets were available in the first group of VIP rows for the AAA show. Guadalajara had third row seats available.
Still betting Panther beats Felino and the trios titles change hands, with nothing else of note in CMLL. Over in AAA, Wagner will keep his title, Mesias will earn his title shot, X-Fly goes thru the flaming table, and Jack surprisingly beats Perro yet again.
AAA’s PPV lists a start time as 7pm CT, though the website says 8pm. We’ll go with that as the start time for the chat, but I will let you know if things start earlier. CMLL show starts at 8:30, and both shows should wrap a bit after 11. . The live chat can be found right here, and there should be a post with results and the usual miscellany. Maybe I’ll remember to create a List on Twitter tonight, that’ll be thrilling for everyone.
In the big news: Volador Jr. will be selling his shirts and taking photos with fans an hour before Sin Piedad. And: he’s teasing new gear!

Where did you here that MEXPW was doing a electrified cage match? I was looking all over the web to find a lineup but all I found was Supreme against a mystery opponent and I really don’t care about that.
Honestly I’ll be just watching the lucha part of the show.
Not a big fan of ultraviolence.
When they originally launched the project, there was an article on MEXPW.com similar to the one that’s still up on http://www.thexpw.com/ , setting up the electrified cage match. I assumed that was still the plan, but there is no mention of it on the MEXPW site.
Bugambilia del Norte new mame is Chikano
While I do not want to see either the Oficials or the Traumas unmasked, that match should be a helluva fight, and might end up being a late MOTYC.
Vampiro coming back makes Me very, very, sad.
@albert why can’t he just get addicted to drugs and overdose on something!
