09/02: Scorpio, GDL, Puebla

Sololuchas has an interview & picture of Scorpio Jr. He’s hoping to go home in three days, then take a month off before he even considers wrestling again. He sounds like a man who may be done with the ring, but it’s probably a good idea to wait a month before making any decisions.

CMLL (SUN) 08/31 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [MT]
1) Misterioso II b el Gallo [OCCIDENTE LH]

New champ, and clean – Rosa Driver for the win. Misterioso proclaimed, since he beat Gallo in Gallo’s house, Gallo has to travel to Misterioso’s house (Arena Mexico, Torreon cries) if ever wants a rematch. Misterioso II vs el Gallo for Arena Mexico Anniversary Main Event! Who’s with me? (crickets)

(Reforma via Jazzo) No full results from Coliseo, but Villano V returned, then immediately decided he shouldn’t wrestle anymore until the anniversary. That sounds like a man not ready to come back but desperate do that match. They’re going with the story that he’s just trying to prevent more injury. V4 will take all of his matches until then, and there’s little more they’ll be able to do to build that mask match.

CMLL (MON) 09/01 Arena Puebla [superluchas

2) Hooligan, Loco Max, Siki Osama Jr. b Centella de Oro, Leono, Tony Rivera

4) Marco Corelone b Lizmark Jr.
5) Heavy Metal, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas DQ Mr. Águila, Terrible, Texano Jr.

This was taped for TvC Deportes, which apparently has no shortage of hours to fill. DQ in the main event was for Terrible pulling Niebla’s mask. I demand Marco vs Lizmark make it to the internet for review.

(Wagnermania) Dr. Wagner Jr. won the hair of Green Demon I on Saturday in Saltillo.

Next Monday’s Christina (Univision) is all about lucha libre, including Cibernetico and Elegido and a feature about exotico wrestlers. Those are two separate stories. Also, a piece about the Cholitas in Boliva.

Dragon Rojo Jr., holding a newspaper. There’s nothing else new there.

Rey Misterio is being promoted for a show in Portugal. It’s actually Hijo de Rey Misterio, and not the only time a promoter has left off the “Hijo de” for confusion’s sake, That’s the whole point of the gimmick now, I think.

SuperLuchas also notes NWA Mexico’s show include drug testing. Which couldn’t have possibly been processed by a lab before the show, so I don’t completely understand the point (because the PR.) Perhaps they’d suspend someone after the fact, but when you’ve run one show and haven’t announced a second…

Luchando Libre previews ENSEMA’s card.

DTU has a promo for it’s show this Saturday.

Mr. Libra won a battle royale in Oaxaca. Not the IWRG guy, I presume.

Why articles previewing the CMLL tour in Spain are still turning up, I dunno. Also, Pirata and Octagon are coming to Spain to wrestle as part of a week of Mexico themed events.

LuchaWorld has Robert AAA TV Tapings from ’05: 11/19 (not high on Super Fly), the shows in DF and Central America no one could find dates for, Guerra de Titanes with a million things going on. Also, KrisZ’s news update.
