Of all the WWE homages AAA’s doing, this bit remains my favorite. Don’t be mistaken by my mirth, he’s surely gone. And also showing up in IWRG within three weeks.
Comment suggestion: speculate on how Barba Roja did not fit in Konnan’s New AAA. FAKE BEARD = NOT SERIOUS ENOUGH.
In other AAA news, they opened new offices. Of course, there’s a plaque for Antonio Pena.
(also, I think there’s a taping lineup there too that I should be posting.)
In today’s Ovaciones, Hijo de Perro Aguayo announced he’ll return to the ring on 08/03. No match is announced, but Perro would enjoy teaming with the Perros against Mistico. That’s sure possible.
Speaking of strange people who want to challenge Mistico, the goofy band which was calling him out before, Loco Solitario, announced they want Mistico to have to sing when he loses. Mistico responded by uping the stakes, exactly as he usually does – Mistico will sing and unmask if he loses to the band leader, but if (when) he wins, everyone in the band has to shave their head. Mistico is very anti-hair.
IWRG (SUN) 07/15 Arena Naucalpan [IWRG]
1) Samba & Tortugilo Ninjo b Comando Gama & Golem
2) Cyborg, Fantasma de la Ópera, Xibalba b Ave Fenix, Kid Tiger, Marco Rivera
3) Cerebro Negro, Tony Rivera, Ultraman Jr., Veneno b Black Terry, Dr. Morvus, El Hijo del Diablo, Enfermero Jr.
4) Hijo de Cien Caras & Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. b Electroshock & Hijo de Anibal [IWRG IC TAG]
Fantasma de la Opera ran in the tercera to attack Black Terry, which helped the tecnicos. There’s probably another match here, but IWRG didn’t report it. I’m just happy they’re reporting anything.
CMLL (SUN) 07/15 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Mayu @ el Martiente]
3) Dr. X, Infierno, Mr. Trueno b Astro Boy, Oro II, Plata
4) Marco Corelone, Máscara Sagrada, Rayman b Cien Caras Jr., Eclipse, Olimpico
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. b Terrible [UWA HEAVY]
Lots of pictures at the link.
Olimpico replaced Lizmark Jr. I have not seen a result with Lizmark Jr. in it since the June 29th main event against Blue Panther. Maybe he’ll show up for his scheduled match today in GDL, or maybe he’s vanished for three weeks and I’ve just now noticed.
Speaking of, no Black Warrior at TripleMania makes his disappearance all the more strange.
CMLL (MON) 07/16 Arena Puebla [hugo999 and others @ box y lucha]
1) Blue Center, Forajido, the Tiger b Centella de Oro, Espiritu Maligno, Siki Ozama Jr.
2) Coco Blanco, Coco Rojo, Coco Verde DQ Fuerza Chicana, Skandalo, Toro Bill Jr.
3) Mascara Purpura, Maximo, Valiente b ? (japanesse), Goto, Okumura
4) Alex Koslov, Sagrado, Volador Jr. b Averno, Sangre Azteca, Toscano
5) Atlantis, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero b Blue Panther, Mistico, Negro Casas
Evil Monkey distracted the ref in the main, and UG fouled Panther for the pain. Not sure about that semimain result. Ohara was supposed to be in the tercera, but was replaced by a Japanesse man the regulars couldn’t identify. (I’d presume one of the IWRG crew.) Skandalo yanked Coco Verde’s mask.
AAA (TUE) 07/17 Gimnasio Revolucion Culiacan [Noro Este]
1) Extreme Tiger & Laredo Kid vs Espiritu & Scoria
2) X-Pac vs Super Porky, Scorpio Jr. [bull terrier, $10000]
3) Pimpinela Escarlata vs Polvo de Estrellas, May Flowers, Cassandro, Jessy, La Rebelde [hair, mask, cage]
I just like the idea of someone winning $10000 in a match. The cage match is not too hard to figure out.
AAA (THU) 07/19 Arena Tigre Padilla [Zocalo.com.mx]
1) Aguila Plateada vs Demonio Negro
2) Black Boy & King Warrior vs Carvenicola & Konan Gay
3) Capricornio, Coyote, Garlin Boy vs Euforia (Monterrey), Negro Villa, Simbolo
4) Barba Roja, Hijo del Pirata Morgan, Pirata Morgan, Pirata Morgan Jr. vs Baby Rap, Golden Boy, Rey Demonio, Sky
As best I can now figure, this is how everything has gone
Kaleth -> Barba Roja
Nemesis IWRG -> Drake Morgan -> BACK to Nemesis IWRG
? -> Hijo de Pirata Morgan
and no one’s a clown. That’s some other people. Anyway, I think I have to go correct some Monterrey results now.

– Box Y Lucha #2827 managed to hold it’s cover till after TripleMania, which is a pretty nice trick. You’ve got Kenzo shaved and Calo unmasked.

Today’s eSdSLP preview.
I’m not going to write much more about the Chris Benoit story at this point, but it is pretty much all I’m thinking about.
CMLL PYCV (SUN) 06/24 Poliforum Zamna de Merida [YucaRod]
1) Corazon Rockero, Espartano I, Jhony Reyna DQ Cachorro JR., Chupacabras, Proverbio

2) Barba Roja & Karis b Orus & Ramses
3) Estrellita & Josseline b May Flowers & Polvo de Esterllas
4) Antifaz del Norte & Hator b Pimpinela Escarlata & the Mummy
5) Charly Manson & Gronda II DQ Monsther & Pirata Morgan
Pirata Jr., Drake, and Barba Roja ran in the main event to help Pirata and get DQed, after the tecnicos dominated most of the match.
CMLL (MON) 06/25 Arena Puebla [hugo999]
1) Mr. Rafaga & Siki Osama Jr. b King Jaguar & Legionario
2) Batman, SWAT, the Tiger DQ Black Terry, Fuerza Chicana, Kraken
3) Felino, Mascara Purpura, Mictlan b Goto, Ohara, Okumura
4) Averno, Mephisto, Sangre Azteca b La Mascara, La Sombra, Sagrado
5) Atlantis, Lizmark Jr., Olimpico b Negro Casas, Shocker, Volador Jr.
Black Terry fouled the Tiger in the segunda, causing his team to lose in two falls. Batman may have been hurt in that match.
A couple of CMLL card changes for later in the week. Shocker is out of Gran Alternativa. Valiente will instead team with Dos Caras Jr. Dos will all wrestle on Sunday, as the added match will be a trios rematch from last week – Ultimo, Toscano, Universo vs Rey, Marco, and Dos. CMLL.com says it’s “sin limites”, but I don’t believe it has super libre rules.
In today’s Ovaciones, Blue Demon Jr. says his mask match with Espectro Jr. will take some time in August, and he’s hoping to come back to CMLL after that.
CMLL (MON) 06/25 Monclova [Zocalo.com.mx]

The Tijuana comission will be holding a exam for new wrestlers trying to get their lucha license on Wednesday. They’re expecting about 20 people to tryout, and the test will go three hours.
In Veracruz, a promoter bought the rights to hold AAA’s Guerra de Titanes on June 15. You may have noticed there was no Guerra de Titanes on June 15th. The local promoter dealt with a middle company, not AAA. The local promoter is claiming the middle company lied to them and took their money, and the middle company says they didn’t sign anything. No quotes from AAA at all here.
