It was Halloween and Damien…but versus Jerry Lynn and David Young, not Nicho. I wonder if Nicho was scheduled anyway – Young seems like a fill-in guy on their roster. 2 out of 3 ain’t bad, but the match kinda was according to Dave.

More news:

– Atlantis, Black Warrior and Mr. Niebla defend the trios titles against Dr. Wagner, Black Tiger and Universo 2000 – I guess Blue Panther and Fuerza Guerrera aren’t around this time? Universo could be DOUBLE GOLD which is some sort of tragedy.
– Giant Silva returns on 4/4. Aw.
– Let me quote the translation here: “Due to hundreds of telephone calls”, el Terrible is back in the Guapo U. Good thing they’re planning this out in advance.

KrisZ says Dr. X beat Tigre Blanco, so we have a new Mexician Welterweight Champion. I’ve been meaning to put a page of titles that are defended in CMLL (and when the last time I can find that actually happening), but results archives get blown to pieces everytime I think about it.

CMLL.com has a new update, but nothing much new: we’re down to Ricky, Tony and (surprisingly) Genetico in Guapo U and all indications are that they’ll be a rudo as a winner. Lots’s of hype for Dr. X vs Tigre Blanco at Arena Coliseo last night – don’t know who won yet.

TNA says “Jerry Lynn & Mystery Partner vs Konnan’s mystery 2 luchadores”, and you gotta think, since they’ve already done the Juvi bit, it’s probably Nicho’s turn to show up – and maybe against Nicho’s ex-parters Damien and Halloween? They turned on him in Tijuana and they’re now feuding, though I don’t know if TNA would bring up the angle. Should be a good match AND hopefully it could lead to my personal dream match of the moment – Mexican’s Most Wanted (Damien/Halloween) vs American’s Most Wanted (Harris/Storm).

I guess it’s too obvious to suggest Emilio, Scorpio or Bestia as the new Boricua? Odd…

Between his report on the Observer and the radio show, Dave Meltzer seemed to have the impression that the knee injury Juvi suffered this weekend was quite serious, so that Juvi/Felino match may not be happening. I do wonder what, if anything, that Warrior/Niebla tension causes. I think I’d much rather see Warrior go back to rudo than Niebla turn rudo, but that may not be an option.

I keep thinking of getting the TV. My problem with the tapes is that, in theory, WrestleHolicsVideo’s CMLL TV should be cheaper – obviously, 4 shows for $10 beats Highspots’ 3 for $15. So I’m thinking that and to get the Best of GdI comp we talked about earlier (I taped over my Santo/Casas vs GdI 11/01 match AGAIN and there’s enough stuff I don’t have there to make it worth it) but the problem is the new CMLL TV still isn’t in. And there are like six weeks of TV sitting over at highspot’s boring a whole through my brain. Decisions decisions decisions…

Hey, I’m still around

From KrisZ: EMLL announced last night that they would finally have a Gran Markus Jr. vs. Pierroth Jr. hair match on 3/21 at Arena Mexico. Pierroth also announced that he will be introducing a new member to Los Boriquas and he will be a part of Al-Qaeda.

It’s finally ending! Praise the Lord! Of course, this does raise the question of how many Puerto Ricans there are in Al-Queda.

Today’s results, also from KrisZ:

MEXICO

EMLL 3/7 – Arena Mexico
1. Pequeno Olimpico & Shockercito beat Espectrito & Pierrothito
2. Tony Rivera/Virus/Volador Jr. defeated Arkangel de la Muerte/Damian el Terrible/Mr. Mexico
3. Averno/Juventud Guerrera/Mephisto beat Felino/Olimpico/Safari – Juvy challenged Felino for a shot at the CMLL Welterweight Title after the match.
4. Black Tiger/Mascara Ano Dos Mil/Universo Dos Mil defeated Black Warrior/Mascara Magica/Mr. Niebla – Black Warrior & Mr. Niebla had problems cooperating in this one.
5. Satanico/Shocker/Super Crazy beat Hijo del Lizmark/Negro Casas/Vampiro
6. Dr. Wagner Jr. defeated Atlantis – Wagner over clean as a sheet here and they are also building to a CMLL Trios Titles match featuring Atlantis/Black Warrior/Mr. Niebla defending against Black Tiger/Dr. Wagner Jr./Universo Dos Mil.

I’ve got some Toryumon tapes coming in the mail so I’ll have a report on the GdI vs. Ultimo Dragon/Dragon Kid match soon.

CMLL.com sez Gran Hamada will be in 02/23 – but it’s a Sunday Coliseo show so I don’t think it’ll make air. Also, I’m still waiting for Lyger to appear. Darn rumors.

Lucha times are updated. Both shows should suck this weekend!
