AAA (SAT) 01/02 Auditorio de la Unidad Deportiva Morelos, Colima [RadioLevy]
1) Principe Galactico & Rey Dorado b Aguililo Michoacano & El Aliado de la Muerte
2) Black Crazy & General de la Muerte b El Vaquero (Colima) & Payaso Man
3) Mascarita Sagrada & Octagoncito b Mini Abismo Negro & Mini Histeria
4) Gran Apache & Mari Apache b Billy Boy & Cinthia Moreno
5) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown b Aerostar, Laredo Kid, Súper Fly
Not so extraordinary of a show, but the link has multiple video clips of the matches. Doesn’t seem they drew a lot (for Air Force vs Psycho Circus? shocking – though it does look a lot better on the video than the still they use), but the promoter is quoted as bringing in Parka and Mesias on 02/23.
CMLL (MON) 01/04 Arena Puebla [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Asturiano & Lestat b Karisma & Siki Osama
2) Estrella Mágica, Lady Apache, Star Fire b Hiroka, La Seductora, Yezca
3) Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Warrior, Pierrothito b Bam Bam, Mascarita Dorada, Pequeño Olímpico
4) Mephisto, Terrible, Texano Jr. b Black Tiger, Máscara Dorada, Valiente
5) Brazo de Plata, Místico, Sagrado DQ Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Toro Bill Sr.
Some subs: Sagrado moves up to the main to replace Panther, Black Tiger takes his place in the semimian, and Toro Bill replaces Misterioso II in the main. Recap lists Averno in the semimain, which would be a neat trick.
ReyBuc fouled Mistico in the main, then demanded a title shot. Mistico said he’s got national titles and world titles (he doesn’t have a world title, unless he digs the WWA middleweight title out of the closet), but he’s not going to put any of them on the line – Mistico wants a mask vs hair match. Bucanero pointed out how Mistico says that all the time and it never happens, and the people want a championship match so they should just do that. What a weird conversation.
Mini rudos got a straight falls win.
Mini Cibernetico is in jail on charges of attempted homicide. Damian Moreno Quiroz was arrested for stabbing two people in Chimalhuacán, in what is assumed to be an act of jealousy. There was a Mini Cibernetico in AAA as late as 1998, and there’s one in who works with Martha Villalobos’ Reyes del Ring shows as well as other shows around Mexico City; since this is a mini, it’s not especially clear if this is the same one as those, or a different one entirely. Both victims are reported as in serious condition.
SuperLuchas has Incognito with his WWE contract. Again, posting photos of yourself with a WWE contract is a bad idea. Much more interesting is the photographer – Cassandro! If he did this permanently, he’d steal the title of best working photographer (sorry Black Terry Jr. and Alexis.) R de Rudo has an interview with Incognito about the contract; he’d like to wrestle as Mystico, but he’s prepared for anything.
Ovaciones believes Super Nova has also signed a developmental deal. Super Nova sounded like he still had international bookings to work thru, but they usually allow the wrestler to work thru that, and it’s usually a couple months before the contract kicks in just for that purpose. They’ll both head to FCW, they’ll both wrestle unmasked at some point, and the internet will freak out again.
Ovaciones also says Naitoh will be in CMLL intermittently in 2010, and may end up as a tecnico since the crowd is supporting him. No mention of Yujiro.
Heading the other way: NJPW’s announced Terrible & Texano Jr. will be No Limit’s first challenge for the IWGP World Heavyweight Tag Team championships. Match will take place on 02/14 in Sumo Hall. (CMLL ain’t winning these tag titles either, but it’ll be fun.)
A week before the official release, AAA will hold the premiere of their movie on January 16. They’ve also posted a behind the scenes movie.
Proyeccion Luchistica has a video interview with IWRG undercard wrestlers Samot & El Maldito Jr.. I hope he asked Samot how his name is supposed to be spelled, because we’ve gotten Samot, Samoth, and Samoa.
El Hijo del Santo is doing an autograph signing tomorrow.
Indy wrestler Principe Gitano Jr. is in need of blood donations.
RFC has his 2009 awards for Monterrey.
DJ Spectro has his last Torneo de la Muerte, featuring Shocker vs Rey Bucanero.
DTU points to Ultimo Guerrero vs Crazy Boy from their DTU Clasicos show.
Ras de Lona #79 has part 2 of the 2009 Year In Review. Only one to go, and that maybe we get new stuff. I could not believe they had Averno & Ultimo Guerrero for multiple segments, one even talking about CMLL conquering the world this past year, and no one brought up the Tokyo Dome. Was this taped before they knew they were going?
Ohtani’s Jacket says Shiro Koshinaka vs Satanico caused him to hate Shiro a little less.
LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update.
IWRG (THU) 01/07 Arena Naucalpan
1) Volaris vs Halcon 2000
2) Eragon & Imperial vs Comando Negro & Flama Infernal
3) Brazo de Plata Jr., Brazo Jr., Brazo Metalico vs Avisman, El Hijo del Diablo, Gringo Loco
4) Pantera, Suicida, Zatura vs Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro
5) Angelico, Solar I, Ultramán Jr. vs Negro Navarro, Trauma I, Trauma II
Attack of the Brazos! This can not be a good thing. Like his sons, Negro Navarro seems to have quietly gone back to the rudo sign. Maybe Solar just brings that out of him.

The IWRG card is listed twice above. Only pointing it out in hopes that there is a Sunday card floating around that I haven’t seen yet.
Puebla card looks really fun. That opener is probably the best mix of locals unless they made a trios and added Blue Center/Espiritu Maligno.
This picture is gorgeous: http://www.fuegoenelring.com/articles_images/semi.JPG
@Alan: Not sure if you got my e-mail but I thank you for the X-Mas gifts! If you didn’t get my e-mail – please let me know.:)
mini ciber wrestled a show here in portland, ore. w/ oriental, the moreno sisters, psicosis, histeria, and mascarita dorada.
i read on SOCALunsensored that incognito/astro debuted for FCW/ECW on Dec. 15 (unmasked) and incognito wasn’t even tagged in. Dos jr. is on the main roster unmasked on FCW’s website.
happy new year ‘yall.
@jim: I’ll be at the FCW show on Thursday night. The addition of new luchadors to the roster can’t be good for Dos Jr., who does not seem to be getting over at all.
If Dos Jr., were future endeavored, would he just go back to Mexico with his mask like nothing happened?
@LLL: I think Dos Caras Jr. will lose his mask at the end of his first feud back , which will happen either at Dos Leyendas 2010, or Juicio Final 2010 .
Samot/Samoth’s name is spelled Samot (like Tomas backward) on his belt. I assume spelling on gear is official spelling. It’s IWRG so that rule doesn’t always work.
@tomk: doesn’t even work in CMLL since Hooligan often wears a shirt with Holigan on the back.
Double lineup was a mistake. No Sunday lineup yet.
Dos Jr. would go back, blame racism in WWE for making him unmask, and then see how fans react. If he can get away with it, he’s probably not going to unmask.
@Calabcd44: If WWE is smart, since they already have him under contract, and he’s willing to work without a mask, they should just put it back on him, and make him lose it to pop a gate. I think they should’ve brought him in as Mil Caras, nephew of Mil Mascaras, and gone from there(you know, Mil in WWE hall of fame, sell masks, etc……….)
I have a picture somewhere with Chris Stone from CMLL where his ring jacket says “Crhis Stone”. So I’d tread lightly in thinking Mexican wrestlers can spell their own names…
@Rob: :Didn’t he autograph some stuff for you years ago? If so, did he spell it right there?
I don’t think Dos will be cut since he’s been in the main event scene for the past month.
And if he gets fired, He’ll go to AAA.
@Rob: Rool #1 in lucha libro, you have to be a horibel spellar! If you’re speling dosn’t suk, you ain’t getin’ jobe!
Cubs was right about Fabi/Sexi. I can’t believe how long it was, and how terrible. It was all interference, no-counts or fast-counts, but Sexi’s gear was very nice. Fabi looked like she got double-crossed, almost like Richter vs. Moolah.
Another shitty edit job.
Wait which Black Tiger is this?
@GrahamAcre: Local Puebla wrestler, having nothing to do with the guys in Japan with the same name.
@thecubsfan: This Black Tiger smokes the last two Black Tigers from Japan.:)
