1) Caligula & Méssala b Rayo Tapatio II & Trueno

4) La Mascara, Mistico, Sagrado b Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
5) La Sombra & Volador Jr. b Atlantis & Rey Bucanero [CMLL TAG]

Champs lost the first but rallied back to take two and three for the clean win.

Cibernetico’s said to be fast paced. Inquisidor was the first out, and Angel Azteca Jr. wa the last out, not sure who’s in between. Haven’t seen a picture of Dorada with the belt yet.

IWRG (SAT) 04/04 Arena Xochimilco [The Gladiatores]
1) Latin Brother b Comando Negro
2) Carta Brava Jr. & Vampiro Metalico b Eragon & Miss Gaviota
3) Fantasma de la Opera, Hijo del Signo, Mixteco Jr. b Chico Che, Gemelo Fantastico I, Gemelo Fantastico II
4) Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro DQ Negro Navarro, Trauma I, Trauma II
5) Freelance, Fuerza Guerrera, Super Porky b Hijo de Pierroth (IWRG), Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Oficial 911

Porky’s return to IWRG, for the usual Porky match (big splash at the end.)

IWRG (SUN) 04/05 Arena Naucalpan [The Gladiatores]
1) Halcon 2000 b Radamantis
2) Azuka & Goleador b Black Thunder & Mixteco Jr.
3) Freelance, Multifacetico, Turbo b Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro, Tetsuya Bushi
4) Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. & Toxico DF DQ Hijo de Pierroth (IWRG) & Pierroth II
5) Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro DCO Trauma I, Trauma II, Zatura

Main event was a bloody mask ripping battle, certain to set up a rematch. Seems like they’re changed plans from the feud with the Gemelos Fantasma.

Mascara/Toxico won in straight falls, first when the Pierroth screwed up, second when the Pierroths foul their opponents. Hijo de Pierroth apparently beat Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. for the Rey dey Ring title back on 03/28, and they’re still feuding for it.

AAA has a note mentioning the passing of Elda Shelia Barrada Castillo. She’s Estrellita’s mother, and also the daughter of long time Mexico City commissioner Rafael Barradas Osorio.

AAA put up a truck load of upcoming spot shows lineups last night. Alerbije, Brazo, Histeria, and Psicosis are all still listed as on them. There’s also some matches which are listed as Parka and Alebrije (w/Cuije) vs the Psycho Circus, with no mention explanation of why there’d be 2 (.5) vs 3 matches. My guess is someone still has Abismo Negro listed in their scheduling book, and whomever is putting this up on the website thought enough to take his name out but not enough to add Luchador Sopresa. There’s also a card for DF, it does not include Konnan

BTW – today’s rumored AAA departure: Chris Stone. (He’s also booked this week.) Hmmm, I’ll guess Gronda II is tomorrow’s.

Meanwhile, the Gladiatores prove how great they are – they went to El Fantasma and asked why he suspended Konnan but not Jack. Also, Pirata Morgan talks about going independent.

Ayako Hamada is headed to TNA.

Box Y Lucha looks back at Verdugo, Rolando Vera and El Solitario.

WrestlingObserver has their AAA Recap. How bad must’ve Joaquin Roldan’s punch been that they used a camera shot from across the arena, all the way zoomed out, to show it?

2008 AAA TV Lineup

Projected Air Date (#857)
Mexico: 10/12
US: 11/01

Super Fly is sticking in the main event, even when there’s not an Electro to kill him. Good to see. They’ve been nice enough not to declare the next major show main event the week after this one, so there’s a chance Zorro could still get involved.

Mystery man is a Great Surprise. I don’t know that it definitely means anything, but X-Pac is supposed to appear on this show. And, hey, look, the Atomicos champs teaming up for the first time in 2008. I swear am not making that up, it’s been since last November in Leon.

The first time in I looked at the fourth match, I was so happy to see Chris Stone not only on TV, but reunited with Alan against the tag champs – could they be getting a title program? Now I’m thinking it’s more a team for the new champs to beat, so they actually get a win over someone.

I hope they have a date planned to do the Elegido/Pirata mask vs hair match. So I know when to cover my eyes.

So they do the Abismo/Charly angle, and then Abismo isn’t even on this show? Huh.

09/17: Title Change, AAA, Accion

(As mentioned by Alexis before – gracias!)

Averno is your new CMLL World Middleweight Champion, beating Negro Casas tonight. I’m shocked and pleased. This means the (arguably) best current tag team in Mexico has two singles titles; Mephisto is still the CMLL Welterweight Champion. (You gotta figure they’re going to do a Negro/Mistico vs Averno/Mephisto match soon.)

The Anniversary card is also due out tomorrow. Tomorrow’s going to be interesting.

VdE is finishing up right now:

AAA TV (SUN) 09/17 El Toreo de Cuatro Caminos Results [Yosoyelkiss]
1) Laredo Kid b Kaoma Jr. and El Apache [dream, toreno, final]
2) Cinthia Moreno, El Elegido, Mascara Sagrada, Pimpinela b La Diabolica, Mini Abismo Negro, Pirata Morgan, Polvo de Estrellas
3) Crazy Boy, Joe Lider, Juventued Guerrera, Psicosis II b Chessman, Cuervo, Escoria, Ozz [sf]
Joe Lider was carried out after a move gone wrong. Shocking.
4) AJ Styles, Homicide, Low-Ki, Samoa Joe DQ Abismo Negro, Charly Manson, Electroshock, Histeria [sf]
Charly Manson is either a permanent new Viper, or the biggest name they forget to put on the card and taking up the first empty space. Whichever, his team still lost when Abismo Negro used a martiente on Homicide. Given Homicide’s close friendship with Konnan, I expected a better profile debut for him here.
5) Cinthia Moreno, Estrellita b Tiana Ringer, Traci Brooks
The woman isn’t supposed to be a mystery, but I’m completely blanking on the women who was supposed to replace Christy Hemme; I’d assume she was here as she was supposed to be, though I’m not sure anyone would know the difference.; Update: Thank you to Tiger Driver for allowing me to sleep tonight. Tiffany was supposed to be here, and I didn’t read a reason why she wasn’t. Mexican women won (as they really should), but Chessman kidnapped Estrellita post match. Cibernetico was taken out near the start of the show, so he couldn’t make the save here. Chessman (and not Muerte) grabbing Estrellita doesn’t seem to make any sense, so it could’ve been a mistaken report, or it could’ve just been AAA booking.
6) Alan Stone, Hator, Scorpio Jr., Zumbido b Intocable, Oriental, Super Porky, Zorro
KrisZ reported Porky was in a car accident earlier this weekend, but he did end up making this match. Hator replaced Shocker, and who knows if that is a permanent deal. Zumbido did show, as did a mystery masked man who attacked Intocable. I guess he’s getting a new feud.
7) AJ Styles, Low-Ki, Samoa Joe b Crazy Boy, Joe Lider, Juventued Guerrera [final]
I guess Homicide was out of this match selling the martiente, but I’m not sure why Psicsois wasn’t wrestling instead of Joe Lider, if Joe Lider got carted out before. Tons of run ins and TNA guys won. If you are a ROH fan marking out about seeing those three names together, you do not actually want this tape. (I can only imagine the things the Mexican trio tried in order to get in good with the US guys.) People were leaving after this match.
8) Gronda II, La Parka Jr., Octagon ?? Abyss, Jeff Jarrett, Konnan
Gronda was the ‘surprise’, which caused the recapper to leave. I’ll try to find a finish tomorrow, as well as any other missing details.

Accion

CMLL: Atlantis vs Mistico. Mistico’s Mexico themed outfit looks good, and both of this dives here. Nice camera angle on Atlantis’ tope. Atlantis actually got the visual victory, having Mistico in the Atlantida while Warrior was talking to the ref for god knows what reason. The finishing sequence did not look particularly good – it was an up and over sunset flip which never got over, and they had to improvise..

AAA: La Parka Jr., Octagon, Intocable vs Muerte Cibernetica, Chessman, Charly Manson in Hidalgo. Storyline here were La Parka/Muerte feuding, Charly/Intocable feuding, and La Parka reversing a whip on Muerte, which led Muerte to get accidentally chair shot by Chessman. That’s not going to help! MUERTE CIBERNETICA CAN SELL A STUNNER! Obviously, it’s just a Mexican thing. Pierroth was right about Puerto Rico all along!

There are scattered notes about the RXLL show on the box y lucha board. Sounds like the same basic show, but attendances was down (they moved people in from the cheap seats), with Vampiro and Nosawa doing the hardcore main event. Teddy Hart appeared, but did not wrestle.
