CMLL (SUN) 09/09/2012 Arena Mexico [CMLL]
1) Leono & Sensei b Apocalipsis & Cholo
Tecnicos took 2/3.
2) La Seductora, Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sugheit b Goya Kong, Lady Afrodita, Luna Mágica
moved to third match. Afrodita replaced Estrellita. Rudas took 1/3.
3) Aereo, Fantasy, Último Dragoncito DQ Demus 3:16, Mercurio, Pequeño Olímpico
moved to the second match. Rudos won straight falls, Fantasy losing his mind and unmasking Mercurio in the second.

Tecnicos took 2/3, Porky splashing Taichi for the middle rope.
5) Fuego & Stuka Jr. b Namajague & Shigeo Okumura [Arena Coliseo TAG]
Namajague german suplexed Stuka and Okumura gave Fuego a brainbuster to take fall one. Fuego submitted Namajague and Stuka splashed Okumura in the second. Namajague and Fuego pinned each other in the third. Stuka missed his splash, but survived Okumura’s reverse DDT and Michinoku Driver, and then dropped Okumura in and landed the splash the second time to keep the titles.
6) Felino, Mephisto, Mr. Niebla b Atlantis, Diamante Azul, Shocker
Felino beat Atlantis in a surprise finish in the first, and Niebla & Felino beat Atlantis & Azul in the second. Rudos immediately challenged for a title match, tecnicos immediately accepted.

In Memoriam lost his mask to Esfinge in the Guadalajara cage match tonight. Rush kept his title over Rey Bucanero.

AAA has put up TripleMania XX Part 3, with Consejo & Octagon vs Psycho Circus & La Park, and Dr. Wagner vs Mascara Ano 2000 Jr.

Perros del Mal announced Taya Valkyrie will not appear on their show tonight, because she was not actually given a contract  for the show. That’s right, Perros del Mal is more concerned with false advertising than CMLL.

Rob has highlights of Puebla 01/16/12, 01/27/12 & 02/31/12 CMLL, and 08/21/21 CMLL, as well as Zumbido vs Ricky Marvin match from 2002.

LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update and Alfredo’s Five to Watch. I agree with the list, but I’m not so sure Namajague is losing his mask before going back to Japan.

Lucha Libre in Japan

09/09 Reina X World:
Arisa Nakajima b Crazy Star
Silueta b Alex Lee

09/09 NJPW: Averno, Alex Kozlov, Rocky Romero & Low Ki [O] b Mascara Dorada, BUSHI [X], Alex Shelley & KUSHIDA
Match includes a Low Ki picture tweet. You can tell which NJPW shows are staffed by the Spanish media translator. Some have quotes, some like this have “Mascara Dorada yells angrily about Averno and Chaos”.

Rayo de Jalisco Jr. will appear on Ultimo Dragon’s 25th Anniversary show in Tokyo on 11/07.

Chicano was feuding with La Cobra, but perhaps there was a change tonight.

CMLL (WED) 01/06 Arena Coliseo [Ovaciones (PDF), ESTO, Fuego en el Ring]
1) Bengala & Principe b Disturbio & Ramstein
2) Molotov, Sensei, Trueno b Apocalipsis, Artillero, Súper Comando
3) Ángel de Plata, Delta, Fuego DQ Dr. X, Nitro, Pólvora
4) Máscara Dorada, Metro, Stuka Jr. b Dragon Rojo Jr., Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca [MEX TRIOS]
5) Brazo de Plata, La Máscara, Místico b Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero

Dorada, Metro and Stuka become the 29th champions. This is the first title Metro’s won, and the biggest Stuka has won (no offense to the Arena Coliseo Tag Team titles.) Tecnicos had combo masks for the match. A quartet with Fuego would be a pretty fun group.

Otherwise, everything here (and in Guadalajara) was what you’d expect for Kid’s Days shows. No word on what the DQ was for in the tercera; only Ovaciones even mentions it.

CMLL (WED) 01/06 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring]
1) Relampago Azul b In Memoria
2) Angelo & Idolo b Acertijo & Infierno
3) Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno b Ángel del Mal & Ráfaga
4) Hijo del Fantasma, Rouge, Valiente b Exterminador, Nosferatu, Shigeo Okumura
5) Máximo & Strong Man b Euforia & Negro Casas

No Mr. Niebla, so Euforia moved up and Exterminador took his place.

GALLI is running a benefit show for injured wrestler Samuari this Saturday.

Mistico would like to face Averno, Mr. Niebla and Ultimo Guerrero in mask matches this year. He also has no idea what this Nueva Era is supposed to be.

EAW video has turned up – as a one minute story on Terra TV.

AAA’s movie has it’s own website @ animaestudios.com/aaa.

Meanwhile, a website hyping the video game says it’ll now be out in June. Quietly, and somewhat unsuccessfully, they’ve changed the name from Heroes del Ring 2010 to Heroes del Ring 2011 on their website.

Casandro tells SuperLuchas that he’s headed back to Europe (Belgium specifically) next month with Hijo del Santo.

The Gladiatores has a video interview with a soft spoken El Hijo del Signo.

RFC has his Monterrey year end awards.

Slam reviews the La Lucha restaurant in New York.

Cronicas Y Leyendas looks back at Black Magic vs Haku and Mascara Magica unmasking himself.

Updated OELL Card

The next set of OELL cards were posted on DVDVR, with the high point being the Lady’s Man teaming with the Men’s Lady.

Same card for 02/19 Cicero (SAT) and 02/20 Aurora (SUN)

1) Egotisico Fantastico vs Tyler Black (one fall)
2) Angel del Silencio vs Tigrillo (one fall)
3) Buddah & Alto vs Great Malenko & Christopher Michaels (one fall)
4) Tsuky & Spider Boy & Discovery vs Misteriosito & Pierrothito & Payazo Malo
5) Shocker & Casandro vs Pierroth Jr. & Misterioso II

As I (sorta whiningly? didn’t mean it like that) point out in the thread, that’s not Tarzan Boy and Vampiro as the cards promised. But realisitcally, alls I need is Shocker, and I’m going to be there. Seeing Pierroth in person is going to be intersting too. Tsuky’s a pretty neat treat.
