CMLL (SUN) 01/03 Arena Coliseo [Ovaciones (PDF)]
1) Cholo & Ramstein b Principe & Súper Camaleón
2) Dr. X, Hooligan, Nitro b Molotov, Sensei, Starman
3) Flash, Leono, Rush DQ Cancerbero, Raciel, Virus
4) Brazo de Plata, Shocker, Toscano b Dragon Rojo Jr., Ray Mendoza Jr., Rey Bucanero
5) Máscara Dorada b Felino
Apparently, Ovaciones PDF has been working for a while. Only found on a whim, wanting to know what the deal was with Dorada/Felino.
That match did take place (despite no mention of it except Felino mentioning in comedy skits on TV this week), with Dorada getting the clean headscissors win. Sunday’s ESTO and Ovaciones both had the lineup posted on CMLL.com (including the minis match, which was apparently pulled), so someone at CMLL screwed up here. We all get busy around the holidays.
Straight fall win for the tecnicos in the tercera. Virus fouled Rush in the second; understandable, but one does not want to get in a war with Rush. Nothing good can come of it.
Starman replaced Metalico, who was supposed to return to action here. Guess he still has abscess related issues.
IWRG (SUN) 01/03 Arena Naucalpan [Black Terry Jr.]
1) Dinamic Black b Comando Negro
2) Alan Extreme & Hijo del Signo b Gemelo Fantastico I & Gemelo Fantastico II
3) Fantasma de la Ópera, Maldito Jr., Samoth b Bushi, Eragon, Jack
4) Exodia, Hijo del Pantera, Ultramán Jr. b Barba Roja, Trauma I, Trauma II
5) Pantera, Scorpio Jr., Zatura b Hijo de Pirata Morgan, Máscara Año 2000, Veneno
Black Terry notes it was a night of injuries
- Hijo del Signo’s nose was broken by one of the Gemelos.
- Trauma was out of it after a springboard legdrop from Ultraman Jr.
- Exodia was sitting, waiting to be kicked, when Barba Roja dropped a senton on his head instead. Exodia was knocked out.
Fantasma replaced Toxico (hmm.) Barba Roja took Pirata Morgan’s spot, but that looks more like a typo on the poster.
At Wrestle Kingdom IV, Averno & Ultimo Guerrero failed to win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. Taguchi pinned Averno, who’s now 0-2 in the Tokyo Dome. No Limit did pick up the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, and we’ll see if Naito hints at a defense when he’s back in town this week.
Box Y Lucha #2955 has the Three Wise Men on the cover. Inside, in the great tradition of New Year’s Resolution that won’t be kept, Vangelis says he wants to win back the Light Heavyweight title from Mistico.
Both Televisa Deportes and Ovaciones have recaps of CMLL’s 2009. Somewhat amazingly similar. (Perhaps that’s why no one had time to update Sunday’s lineup.)

1) Mr. Cuervo & Solovino vs Angel Espacial & Infinito
2) Gememlo Muerte I & Gememlo Muerte II vs Aguila Extrema & Halcon Peregrino

The rematch, just for Tim!

I reserve the right to post under the fake alias of ‘Vangelis’ and taunt you for the rest of the calendar year when the real Vangelis beats Mistico for that title.
I finally got back to Mexico this afternoon. I turned on TVC Deportes expecting to see IWRG at 4:00, but instead I got Perros from Neza and now Puebla is starting. Its opening with Angels vs Tuaregs.
Your return to Mexico would be major news around these parts but if you haven’t heard yet – Tzuki is booked for Arena Mexico this Friday. Tzuki’s return trumps yours! Overshadowed by a 3 foot tall dude… how do you feel?
I watched the CMLL show from the Lucha Libre Expo last night and you were all over it. I’m so mad the camera cut away when Felino was about to smack around some fool that was being a smartass right near you.
Tzuki’s back ?!? YES!!!
@Rob: Tzuki’s back, Alan’s back…Around the same time…Hmm…I think I figured out who Tzuki is!
So…Chessman’s new look…WHAT IS IT MA/N
@Alfredo: and @Rob: Much like Tzuki, I returned 24 hours later than originally booked and reeking of booze!
Anyone know if IWRG has been airing the last few weeks on TVCDeportes? Puebla was only one hour with the Angels and the main event. I’m guessing that’s why they aired the Perros show too during the IWRG timeslot.
They even ran a graphic at the end of CMLL for the year end edition on Saturday’s broadcast. I find it very odd that they are going two weeks without new footage. Just odd.
