CMLL (FRI) 01/05 Arena Mexico Results [Super Luchas, Galeno de Mal, ovaciones]
1) Mini Olimpico, Tzuki, Ultimo Dragoncito DQ Mini Damian 666, Mini Halloween, Mini Mr. Aguila
2) Lady Apache, Marcela, Sahori b Amapola, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda
3) Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila b Felino, Heavy Metal, Negro Casas
4) Dr. Wagner Jr., Lizmark Jr., Rey Bucanero DQ Atlantis, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero
5) Mistico b Averno

The cheap kids tickets filled up the arena, which telegraphs the main event finish. Check out the fall times for the main event, via Ocampo
1) 1:54
2) 3:11
3) 16:45

Uh huh. You can guess the finish, and it reads like a good match. Mistico challenged for the mask match again, and Averno was so frustrated, he accepted – but for the CMLL Middleweight Title match. That’s not on the schedule for next week, or at least so far.

Alexis posted the 01/12 lineup on box y lucha, and it’s off season-ish with no ongoing issues (though I can make up a few things.) Sangre and Koslov make it all the way up to the semimain (unless they ARE doing Mistico/Averno and they’re bumped down to a more reasonable spot.)

Other notes: Ultimo Guerrero fouled Dr. Wagner to draw the DQ in the semimain…Amapola had Lady Apache rolled up for the win in the second match (with a little help from the ropes), but Marcela turned over the pin. Amapola’s still looking for a title shot…Mini Damian yanked Tzuki’s mask to get the DQ in the opener.

airing on GdR
12/22 Mexico: Arkangel, Loco Max, Okumura b Fabian el Gitano, Leono, Tony Rivera
01/01 Coliseo: Heavy Metal, La Mascara, Volador Jr. vs Mascara Ano 2000, Terrible, Universo 2000
Unmasked: Black Warrior

It’s pretty impressive that I’m typing this, because I’m currently losing my mind. 12/22 was the taping that was never aired – except they absolutely positively had to go back to make sure we got our weekly match with those goofs (and not, say, just air the Volador/Averno match!) And that’s a Coliseo match which has like a 5% of being any good – did they save the main event for the non-existent FSE show? And the story of Black Warrior being unmasked, we sure haven’t heard about that any time recently, nooooo.

Why? Why? Is this spite? I’m sorry for whatever I did. Please stop.

Edit: Actually, that match is the same one they aired last week. Why? That makes even less sense.

CMLL (FRI) 12/22 Arena Mexico Results
1) Artillero, Super Comando b Molotov, Sombra de Plata

3) Black Warrior, Olimpico, Takemura b Felino, Heavy Metal, Texano Jr.

5) Averno b Volador Jr. [CMLL MIDDLE]
6) Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero b Atlantis, Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero

Ovaciones says the title match went 40 minutes. CMLL.com says it went 45 minutes. It never actually goes 45 minutes. No report from Ocampo. I’m thinking 25-ish minutes during the falls and maybe 40 minutes if you include between falls and entrances and postmatch. Ovaciones said Volador made many errors, which doens’t sound good. CMLL.com is much more positive.

CMLL Lineups are up on their site. Nothing noteworthy.

CMLL 12/15 Results

CMLL (FRI) 12/15 Arena Mexico Results [superluchas, ova]
1) Flash, Super Nova DQ Artillero, Super Comando
2) Dark Angel, Marcela, Sahori b Amapola, Hiroka, Princesa Sujei
3) Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero b Eclipse, LA Park, Olimpico
4) Mistico, Ultimo Dragon, Volador Jr. b Averno, Efesto, Mephisto
5) Atlantis, Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero b Damian 666, Halloween, Hector Garza [CMLL TRIOS]
6) Shocker, Universo 2000 b Kenzo Suzuki, Marco Corleone [hair]

In the final fall of the main, Universo beat Kenzo, Marco beat Universo, but Universo came back to foul Marco, who was then pinned by Shocker for the win. Ovaciones points out the match was much longer than the 5 minutes Kenzo has vowed; Ocampo has it at 22 minutes, longest of the night.

Not much said about the semimain. It was the shortest match of the night. CMLL.com indicates we’re not done with Guerreros/Perros title matches yet. When do the tecnicos get a shot at the belts?

Ovaciones has a challenge being made after the fourth match (the second longest of the evening, at 18 minutes) by the tecnicos, but apparently the wrong belt. CMLL.com clears it up: Volador wants a shot at Averno’s CMLL Middleweight Championship, and will get it next week. That could be quite good. FWIW, CMLL’s preview has Volador a big favorite (and you know, they might be right.)

Amapola hurt her hip in the main event. Tecnicos won the opener when Artillero pulled Super Nova’s mask.

Lineups for next week’s DF shows are up on CMLL.com. Of note, we’re short one match on next Sunday’s Coliseo show (which will actually be on Monday), and the main event of Arena Mexico are the trios champs versus a top tecnico team – Wagner/Dos/Rey – in a non title match. Maybe they will get a shot soon?
