In between the top two matches, La Nazi and Pierroth’s daughter brought out Pierroth himself. He was in a wheelchair, but was able to thank the fans and his fellow wrestlers (youtube video.) Leobrado Magadan was there as a host, many of the other wrestlers were in the ring to support Pierroth, and Veneno appeared to sing the Puerto Rico anthem as they presented a Pierroth mask to the new Pierroth. Who then got fouled and lost in the main event. I can’t have read that right, that make no sense.
Next show here is 11/19, with Toscano challenging Texano for the NWA LH title.

Previews of tonight’s CMLL show
– SuperLuchas
– ESTO (focusing on Valiente/Dragon)
– MedioTiempo has Brazo de Plata promising to demostrate “real lucha libre”, with all holds and moves. Uh huh.
– OEM.
– Preview of Japan vs Mexico – oh, wait, that’s FIFA U17 soccer in Nigera, which will take place this afternoon. Might give Naito & Yujiro something to talk about later tonight.
The lineup is based around Porky’s first Arena Mexico match since May 19, 2006. It’s actually his first Arena Mexico main event since June of 2004, which was Porky, Canek, and Rayo de Jalisco vs Apolo Dantes, Dr. Wagner Jr. and Okumura. (!!) It’s the undercard that’s more interesting. Rojo/Valiente could be good (or it could completely fall apart; those two can literally be hit or miss.)
ESTO has the only preview of tonight’s AAA taping in Poza Rica. We still know nothing at all about Mantra. There’s at least a 25% shot it’s a mispelling for someone on the roster, right?
Speaking about the title match, Valiente says the deciding factor will be fitness. Valiente says his #1 priority is to retain his title, but he’s also going to try to give a great show for the public. HOORAY. I hope they win the Best Match Of The Night bonus. Which would require one actually existing, so CMLL needs to get on that. After this match, Valiente plans to take the world title from Averno, and then take Sangre Azteca’s mask. It’s good to have dreams.
Ultimo Guerrero wants you to know he only lost to Strong Man and Mistico this week because he’s totally hurt, and whoever wins the war is the real winner.
CMLL’s finally talking about the upcoming tour of France. Luchadores mentioned as going over are Sangre Azteca, Hijo del Fantasma, Stuka Jr., Valiente, Sagrado, Marcela, Hiroka, Dragon Rojo Jr., Misterioso Jr., and Nitro. That should be some good matches. They’ll be gone from 11/13 to 11/29, which means CMLL will have some people getting moved up into higher spots than usual. There are plans for tours in 2010 and 2011. For this trip, the CMLL wrestlers will be working at a wrestling school in Nanteree, France with the students there, and they hope to work out an exchange program. Tickets for the shows themselves, only 3 mentioned, will be from 30 to 50 Euros ($44.41 to $74.03 US, 578.49 MEX to 964.14 MEX). All info on the tour is at efm-fr.com
AAA is going to Six Flags Mexico on November 14 & 15, taping for both TV shows. Not sure if it’s just going to be vignettes like Ras de Lona or if they’re taping full shows.
Rio Bravo explains the dual Rio Brav situation: he decided he would not be working with AAA (for personal reasons, and also because he wasn’t getting enough work – not sure why he had personal reasons.) Fransico Cantu, the Monterrey promoter for AAA, sent someone else as Rio Bravo to AAA in his place. (So maybe AAA didn’t know they were getting a new Rio Bravo?) The original claims he should still own the name, though he does note Cantu is the one who gave it to him in the first place. He’s protesting this to the local commission.
Mauro Corinti has A Fighters Life, a 6 minute lucha libre documentary.
Kindergatern students were treated with a Santo film festival.
Cronicas y Leyendas looks back at PN News and Lola Gonzalez. Slightly different looks.

2) Stuka Jr. & Valiente vs Dragon Rojo Jr. & Sangre Azteca

First time they’ll be back since last December’s show.

Wait a minute, Is that a different Pequeno Olympico or did CMLL let him work that Pierroth sow?
@Tim:
That’s the CMLL one, Peq Damian & Nitro also worked the show.
I’m pretty sure the minis are on a different deal then the fullsized luchadores, allowing them to take indy bookings/US dates as long as they don’t work with the forbiddens (Santo) or the competition, thate they’re free to go as they please.
I’m not completely sure that all the minis are members, but Masacarita Sagrada OG runs a troupe that includes Mascarita Dorada, Tsuky, & a number of the older minis
Unrelated but Guerrero Maya Jr. Toscano & Nosferatu also worked the show
“Veneno appeared to sing the Puerto Rico anthem as they presented a Pierroth mask to the new Pierroth. Who then got fouled and lost in the main event. I can’t have read that right, that make no sense.”
To quote Larry the Cable Guy “That’s funny right there,I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there.” And a little messed up too.
Hello all wrestling fans. It was a humanitarian and conscientious work the organize events as a tribute to Mr. Pierroth.
I haven’t thought of PN News in years. Lola is always pleasant to think about.
Looks like TDN is airing Mexico vs Japan soccer tonight instead of Noche de Punos. Am I the only person in Mexico who finds this disappointing?
Have you considered making a special section to keep track of these wacky goals each wrestler has? It seems like every week there is a great new fantasy.
The pictures show Turbo standing in the ring with Pierroth, his family, the new fake Pierroth and Pierrothito. Seems strange that he’d be included. Wonder if there’s a family connection we don’t know about? (Wouldn’t it be hilarious if after all these fake Pierroths it turns out Turbo is his real son?)
I think Turbo happened to wander in the picture at the wrong time.
I disagree for two reasons.
1) No other wrestlers are in the ring, just family and fake family.
2) Turbo is pushing the wheelchair. Surely he didn’t just do it b/c nobody else wanted to.
Turbo & Black Thunder were unannounced additions to their match. Doens’t quite make sense for a family member. And I think Black Thunder is still in the ring, just of frame, when the photo is taken place. Doesn’t seem like much time took place between the new Pierroth getting his mask and the photo.
“If you were a mechanic, how much for an oil change?”
Did they bring back the old AAA Sin Limite show? if u click on the link it says that AAA Sin Limite and that AAA Lucha Premier show will be taping at Six Flags. Or do they just call the regular AAA TV show that now?
@luchanews: That’s what they’re calling the regular show now.
ha ha okay i must have missed that change completely then.
