DJ Spectro says CMLL wil be moving Tuesday shows back to Arena Coliseo. I haven’t seen this mentioned elsewhere,
but this would be surprising. CMLL has seemed to move away from running shows at Arena Coliseo, despite horrible attendance for most Tuesday shows. The only reasons I could ever come up with for running Arena Mexico is CMLL either makes more money with the same attendance in Arena Mexico than in Coliseo (because there rarely was a crowd that would’ve sold out Coliseo), or that Cadena3 specifically requested Arena Mexico for TV reasons. Whatever the reason, something had to change. This does not seem like it’s in effect for tomorrow’s show, and I don’t see any indication of a change on CMLL.com
You know, that paragraph up there assumes they’re running shows at Arena Colieso and not Arena Mexico. More I think about it, less safe I feel about that assumption. It’d be really insane (and inane) but…
LuchaLibreUSA now lists the Dallas show as 12/03, instead of Thursday.
CMLL (SUN) 10/18 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Cometa b Principe Dylan
2) Relampago Azul & Skaxy b El Divino & Virgo
3) Egipcio & Leon Blanco b Rafaga & Samurai [Relevos Increíbles]
4) Metal Blanco & Neutrón CO Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno
5) Blue Panther & La Máscara b Misterioso II & Sangre Azteca
6) Atlantis, Dragon Rojo Jr., Felino b Héctor Garza, Máscara Dorada, Shocker
Dragon Rojo Jr. snuck off Dorada’s mask at the end of the third fall, and pinned him for the win. Semifinal was clean for the tecnicos.
Egipcio and Leon Blanco worked together in the third match, so they won. After the match, Infierno ran in to attack Samurai, and Magnum got involved as well.
PROLLM (SUN) 10/18 Coliseo Coacalco [EdR]
1) Mr. Surf DRAW Cyrus
2) Jeque b Stigma, Eterno, Daga, Betos Boy, Lobo Metalico, Wotam, Forastero, Niebla Negra I, Niebla Negra II [cibernetico]
3) Ephesto, Euforia, Virus b Ángel de Oro, Ángel de Plata, Diamante
4) Mr. Niebla & Shigeo Okumura b Ephesto & Justiciero
5) Magnifico b Judas el Traidor [hair]
12th Anniversary show. Of course Magnifico (and his Bret Hart gear???) is winning on this show. Also, 300% more CMLL wrestlers than usual.
AULL? (SAT) 10/17 Arena Lopez Mateos [EdR, DJ Spectro]
1) Black Crazy, Rey, Spider Boy b Doom, Red Devil, Tormenta
2) Pendulo, Platino, Solar Jr. b Belcebu, Trauma I, Trauma II
3) Black Terry & Solar I DRAW Negro Navarro & Rambo
4) Hijo de Rey Misterio, Huracan Ramirez, Olímpico b Pierko el Boricua, Speulcro, X-Fly
5) Pierroth II L Canek Jr., Jaque Mate Jr., Fishman Jr., El Hijo De Huracan Ramirez, Septiembre el Terrorista, Gran Markus Jr., Hijo de Máscara Año 2000, Hijo del Cien Caras [mask, cage]
Pierroth II is Isacc Pedro Gonzalez Nunez, 38 years old, from Sacramento, California. He’s had this gimmick for 5 years and, of course, is not related to Pierroth. He’s also changing his name to Anticristo – or what it was before he had the mask. Canek Jr. gets credit for the win.
AAA (SUN) 10/11 Poliforum Juan Gabriel, Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua [KrisZ
1) Mini Histeria, Polvo de Esterllas, Sexy Star b Fabi Apache, Mascarita Sagrada 2007, Pimpinela Escarlata
2) Murder Clown, Psycho Clown , Zombie Clown b El Elegido, Extreme Tiger, Laredo Kid
3) Dr. Wagner Jr. b El Mesías, Cibernético [AAA HEAVY]
KrisZ has this as an ultra rare defense of this title off TV.
AULL (SUN) 10/18 Arena Lopez Mateos [EdR]
1) Dragon Chino & Super Halcon Jr. b Mr. Flama & Rey Kristal
2) Silver Cat I & Silver Cat II b Iron Love & Super Panda [AULL TAG]
3) Robin Maravilla, Sadico, Yakuza b Angel o Demonio, Leon Rojo, Ovett [AULL TRIOS]
4) Sepulturero I b Kung Fu Jr. [AULL HEAVY]
Night of champions, though no lightweight title defense. I thought there was supposed to be a main event trios, but Estrella del Ring says the Heavyweight title match was the main event.
SuperLuchas notes the Volador/Averno lightning match, with a 10 minute time limit, went 10:59.
Negro Casas talked to ESTO about his hair loss; he’s not considering it a defeat, because it was one of his best matches and was so tough.
Was there a reason for Sahori disappearing that I missed? She hasn’t been on a lineup since July.
There’s a cool lucha t-shirt for sale at that link.
Lineups
CMLL (TUE) 10/20 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara

3) Hierro & Neutrón vs Ángel del Mal & Infierno
4) Blue Panther, La Máscara, Máximo vs Euforia, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca
5) Héctor Garza & Shocker vs Terrible & Texano Jr.

Random hair match. More of interest is Brazo de Plata working here, when he’s supposed to be working CMLL on Sunday. He probably needs to work, but working both isn’t usually allowed. Well, at least he’s not scheduled to work with the Perros, that’d be trouble.

FWIW if my memory is correct there have only been two C3 shows taped @ Arena Coliseo. The 1/8/08 and 1/6/09 shows. The change is pretty insignificant from the point of a smark like me. It used to mean something b/c in Arena Mexico you’d never get to see the undercard guys but in Arena Coliseo they’d get bumped up to the segunda or even tercera level. But at this point CMLL doesn’t have enough top guys so no matter which building they run in you get to see undercard guys on C3. I guess the ramp would be missing which would hinder Mascara Dorada’s attempts to constantly innovate.
Pierroth also says he will be introducing the new official Hijo Del Pierroth on that show in Cuernavaca next week. JOY.
“Was there a reason for Sahori disappearing that I missed? She hasn’t been on a lineup since July.”
Never even noticed. Shocking, huh? Probably knocked up since she just came back from a long injury earlier this year – didn’t she? Unless she re-injured her knee. I’ll stick with the pregnancy guess and be jealous of whoever the father is.
“5) Flor Metalica vs Atsuko Emoto [hair]”
My friend who is into Joshi says this random Japanese chick is the butch type who would have no issue going bald so she seems like a lock to lose. With a main event like that and an undercard as listed I really fear for the attendance even by IWRG standards.
Tigre Blanco kind of looks like Toscano. They should form a tag team.
C3 taped the 9/16/09 Wednesday show at Coliseo. I’m pretty sure of it.
John G won’t be happy about the date change. Didn’t he say he got a ticket?
Lucha Libre CMLL 3.0/10.0 (share)
Lucha Libre AAA 4.6/12.1 (share)
Smackdown did an 11.5
Cubs. I agree with you about the Tuesday stuff. IIRC, Coliseo closed when the neighborhood was renovated, forcing CMLL to run three nights at ArMex. From that point, they stayed in ArMex.
Also, the sponsorship opportunities at ArMex seem better. The ramp, rollsings, and digital billboards are there. Coliseo can’t do that.
Should be fun seeing Coliseo on C3 again.
Well…I sure am glad I checked up on the world of lucha today. I sure woulda felt like an ass if I showed up Thursday night just for “Chicas Gratis Toda La Noche!” Reckon I better call and confirm the change.
Fuckin’ eh. The nightclub tells me 11/12, and the site says 12/3.
Being bald would seem like something Emoto would do.
