03/16: GALLI, highlights, links, lineups

Quick GALLI results, assuming I can remember them all right

GALLI (SUN) 03/16 Ramada Inn, Glendale Heights, IL
1) El Chilango & Venganza b Meteoro I & Meteoro II
2) El Tiger & Sileuta Dorada DQ Demencia, El Guerrillero, Pentgaon del Infierno
3) Negrotistico b Joey Marx
4) Isias Velazques & Steve Boz b Blade & Samuary
5) Charly Manson Jr. b Yakuza [GALLI CHAMP, IWC CHAMP]
6) Hijo de Rey Misterio, Rey Misterio Sr., Slayer b Amenaza del Siglo, Coco Liso, Gringo Loco

Hijo de Rey Misterio was OK. It’s tough to judge highflying skills due to the low ceiling, but he was perfectly fine in the ring. Didn’t shine, didn’t look bad. There was a long segment of Amanaza de Siglo laying on him and biting the mask, but the mask never got ripped and Hijo never bleed, so I’m not sure what was going on. Hijo got a ‘rana on Gringo for the pin while everyone else was in the Star.

After the match, they did quicky psuedo-mask match with Senior (wearing his mask) and Amenza de Siglo.

Golden Star (tecnico) and Gringo Loco (rudo) were cornerman for the title unification match. Match was going okay until Charly tried to do a springboard dive. Not sure if he was worried about hitting his head on the ceiling or just plain slipped, but his plancha was way off and he crashed and burned on the floor. Charly was holding his (I think) left elbow for most of the rest of the match, for how long it lasted. Rudo referee La Vaca held Charly for a Yakuza foul, and of course ended up taking it himself. Everyone, seconds including, fouled everyone else, Charly getting the last shot in, and covering just as tecnico referee Apenitas came into make the count.

Post match, there was an argument about which referee was legal, and who cheated whom, and matches were set up for an 04/05? show in Addison:

– Gringo Loco vs Charly Manson Jr. (c) for both titles, assuming Charly’s okay to go (early report had him out two weeks)
– Yakuza vs Golden Star, mask vs mask

There’s still no actual GALLI belt, so it’s good Charly got something to actually put around his waist.

Negrotistico is now 4-0 versus Joey Marx. Time for Joey to get a win or for them to get into the general mix.

No one’s quite sure why the second match was a handicap match. As best I can figure, Guerrillero wasn’t scheduled, was just here to work the rudos corner, but interfered freely. Rudos got the win, promoter overturned for Guerrillero’s interfernce, rudos went after the promoter.

Meteoro I might have not been Meteoro I

Accion

CMLL clips were off the main event. Rudos control on the brawl, then it’s all Hector dominating from there. We don’t see the finish, or any of Corelone. AAA’s clips were of the triangle tag match. I can’t believe Chessman tried to superplex Konnan thru a table. That’s never going to happen. I can believe we see Chessman go thru a table, then see him do an Asai Moonsault fine. Same thing happens with Charly – he takes a powerbomb thru chairs, then wins the match via inside cradle in the next clip.

SuperLuchas #255 has Amapola/Dark Angel and Hector/Perro.

IWRG (SUN) 03/09 Arena Naucalpan [Super Luchas #255]
1) Bacteria & Halcon 2000 b Ancla & Comando Gama
2) Chico Che & Venom b Judas el Traidor & Nemesis IWRG
3) Cerebro Negro, Fantasma de la Ópera, Galactik b Payaso Carrona, Payaso Miedo, Payaso Terror
4) Filoso IWRG, Freelance, Multifacético DQ Capitán Muerte, Cyborg, Xibalba
5) Black Dragon, El Fantasma, Groon XXX b Cien Caras Jr., Hijo del Cien Caras, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr.

Tarzan missed the main event. Black Terry ran during the third fall of the semimain, annoying the rudos and possibly setting up a Multifacetico/Black Terry/Cyborg match. These Payasos here are the ones from AAA last year – same costumes, probably same guys under the masks. They’ve been working indy shows.
