06/22: Mexico preview, SLP

Another slow day. Canada’s goal should’ve counted.

Quick reminder of today’s Arena Mexico card….

CMLL (FRI) 06/22 Arena Mexico
1) Super Nova & Valiente vs Polvora & Vaquero
2) Dark Angel, Lady Apache, Marcela vs Hiroka, Mima Shimoda, Princesa Sujei
3) La Mascara, Sagrado, Volador Jr. vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
4) Atlantis, Tozcano, Ultimo Guerrero vs Damian 666, Villano III, Villano V
5) Blue Panther, Marco Corleone, Shocker vs Hector Garza, Lizmark Jr., Mr. Aguila

Preview: ESTO. Ovaciones still has yesterday’s edition on their site.

I’m not really sure what the issue in the main event is supposed to be. Maybe Lizmark Jr.’s return to action? (He’s only been gone a couple of weeks.) High Society/Perros is a feud, but not one they’ve worked on lately. Not that the Villanos have wowed, but at least that match is a bit hotter.

ESTO has an interview with Bucanero, hyping up his show. They go with July 20th here – it’s still 22nd in Ovaciones. ESTO does the vote plug as well, and it occurs to me now that CMLL surely is not going to be counting up the votes from a bunch of different newspapers and articles. They’re just going to tell Ultimo to be ready to work, and Atlantis and Toscano to be ready to look like you were going to work. ESTO also has a notes roundup (they’re pretending to put tickets on Ticketmaster again, starting this Tuesday) and a phone interview with Diana (who would’ve won if only not for her kidney stones and twisted ankle.) Diana’s looking for a rematch in Monterrey in August, which doesn’t leave her a lot of time to grow her hair.

AAA (WED) 06/20 Auditorio Miguel Barragan de San Luis Potosi [El Sol]
1) ?, Astro Latino, Dragon Chino ?? Principe Leon, Turbo X, X Turbo
2) Apolo Star, Centella Inca, Super AAA ?? Americo, Black Maravilla, Cosaco Loco
3) Fabi Apache, Rossy Moreno, Tiffany b Cinthia Moreno, Estrellita, Sexy Star
4) Crazy Boy, Joe Lider, Mascara Divina DQ Antifaz del Norte, Brazo de Plata Jr., Chris Stone
5) Fuerza Guerrera, Hator, Zumbido b Latin Lover, Super Astro, Tinieblas Jr.

Tineiblas subbed for Juvi. Latin Lover beat Hator for the win. In the semimain, Antifaz fouled Crazy Boy for the DQ. I think Brazo Jr. with the rudos was just a random thing – like Zumbido interfering in the women’s match. Gran Hamada made an appearance on the show.

Attendance is listed as slightly above average – disappointing, but someone credited to the previous Mistico riot.

06/18: Mexico, Monterrey, Campeche

CMLL (SUN) 06/17 Arena Mexico [superluchas, ovaciones]
1) Mini Damian 666 & Mini Halloween b Bracito de Oro & Tzuki
2) Lady Apache, Marcela, Sahori b La Seductora, Medussa, Rosa Negra
3) La Mascara, Mictlan, Volador Jr. b Euforia, Nosferatu, Satanico
4) Amapola b Diana La Cazadora [hair]
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Heavy Metal, Shocker b Damian 666, Halloween, Terrible
6) Mistico & Negro Casas b Averno & Mephisto [CMLL TAG]

In the main event, Negro Casas used the La Mistica and Mistico won with the casita. Superluchas has it at 27 minutes. Hair match went about 14. Diana’s wants a rematch in Monterrey. Lady Apache & Marcela replaced India Sioux & Dark Angel in the women’s trio.

Ovaciones says around 5,000 attendance, citing rain and Mexico’s soccer team playing a Gold Cup game. Amapola vs Diana was an interesting feud to me, but I didn’t expect it to be a draw any more than Leono/Mogur was a draw. Maybe this is one time blip, but it comes off to me as if you can’t just throw Mistico out there in what everyone knows will be a great match (and by all accounts, it was) and expect to pop a big house, especially when he’s been in main events and big matches plenty in that building lately. If this was a show people were really into, they probably can skip a game versus Costa Rica, but it was a feud with a complete lack of recent activity (and a sub feud only built up on the B-Show, with a build that only makes sense after the fact.)

FWIW, next Mexico Gold Cup game is on Thursday, and the final (likely between US and Mexico – I’m thinking Guadeloupe’s run of a lifetime is about over) is next Sunday.

Add a July 28th taping in Tlaxaca to the upcoming AAA show list. No lineup is announced.

AAA (SUN) 06/17 Arena Coliseo Monterrey
1) Aguila Extrema & Arquero b Invasor & Mercurio
2) Arquero & Karis b Ramses & Rey Infernal
3) Estrellita b Tiffany, Sexi Star
4) Aventurero, Hator, Monje Negro Jr., Zumbido b El Brazo, Orus, Pimpinela, the Mummy
5) Abismo Negro, Antifaz, Histeria b Brazo de Plata, Charly Manson, Elegido

CMLL (SAT) 06/16 Ciudad del Carmen Campeche [El Gris @ el maritente]
1) ? & Angel Celestial DQ Demonio Rojo & Mecanico
2) Destello & Relampago b Gym Kata & Lasser Man
3) Amapola & Rebelde b Marcela & Sahori
4) Mascara Sagrada b Angel de la Muerte [hair]
5) Mascara Purpura, Negro Casas, Rayo de Jalisco DCO Atlantis, Mascara Ano 2000, Veneno

Magazines
– Lucha 2000 #373 has Espectro Jr. signing the mask match challenge with Blue Demon Jr. in blood.
– Super Luchas #217 has the death of Vince McMahon. (I will resist the urge to mock Berwyn.)
– Super Luchas Grafico #23 has Mistico and Dave Meltzer.

Lizmark, Huracan Ramires Jr., La Parkita were in Michoacan, talking about lucha libre as their anti-drug.

CMLL (TUE) 06/19 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Estrella de Jalisco vs Fraile de la Muerte
2) Carlo Roggi vs Rey Trueno
3) Metatron vs Depredador
4) Flash vs Malefico
5) Oro II vs Jeque
6) Fabian el Gitano & Hijo del Faraon vs Ephesto & Texano Jr.
7) Rey Bucanero & Shocker vs Atlantis & Olimpico

CMLL (FRI) 06/21 Auditoio Municipal Torreon [El Siglo de Torreon]
1) Chamuco Trevino, Espanto V, Sexy Francis vs Emperador Azteca, Hijo del Soberano, Sexy Piscis
2) Princesa Blanca & Sahori vs La Nazi & Medusa
3) Sangre Azteca & Silver King vs Alex Koslov & Felino

This is a free show. They’re doing a match between radio show personalities (I’ve skipped it here), so I’m guessing the station is subsudizing the show.

VIP NBLLM (SAT) 06/23 Roots Magic Club [Tiger Marino]
1) Angel de los Ninos, Polaris, Ultrasonic vs Flechador, Halcon Guerrero, Urco
2) Leon Guerrero, Terry 2000, Turbo vs Black Heart, La Furia, La Mosca
3) Caramelo, Nino X, Super Nino vs Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro, Suicida
4) Villano III vs Solar, Black Terry, Super Muneco, Coco Rojo
5) Albarone, Villano IV, Villano V vs Axel, Ultimo Dragon, VIP Negro

06/17.2: Sunday Mexico top match results, Accion, FSE

Alexis says champs retained tag titles and Diana lost her hair. I thought Alexis was perhaps just pulling one over on me, but then it’d be a vast conspiracy with superluchas as well.

Amapola kept her hair. I can’t believe it. That’s awesome.

Accion:

CMLL: Main event trios from Arena Mexico. Mistico looked fine in the highlights. We don’t see the Perros interfering, just walking to ringside – ah, I guess Lizmark slipped in to punch, though you can’t see him right away.

AAA: Scorpio Jr., Zumbido, Alan Stone vs Elegido, Oriental, Alebrije, which would’ve been the semimain from the 06/08 taping. Spots, spots, and Guapito low blowing Alebrije with a headbutt to get the Guapos the win. Tecnicos all had purple outfits, which probably desn’t actually mean anything but I thought I’d point out anyway.

CMLL FSE #45 has
06/10: Arkangel de la Muerte Okumura, Loco Max, Nitro b Fabián el Gitano, Metálico, Tony Rivera
06/10: Místico, Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero b Damián 666, Halloween, Misterioso II

06/18: Mexico notes, links

Ovaciones previews today’s Arena Mexico show, with interviews from the hair match participants, Amapola and…Dark Angel. No, no change in the match, Diana couldn’t make the press conference so Dark Angel was talking on her behalf. Amapola of course took this to mean that Diana was scared, and that Dark Angel would be next to lose.

Ovaciones also repeats a statement from CMLL – do not believe a man who claims to be Mistico II, CMLL has no Mistico II. (That’s Sombra.)

CMLL (SUN) 06/17 Arena Mexico
1) Bracito de Oro & Tzuki vs Mini Damian 666 & Mini Halloween
2) Dark Angel, India Sioux, Sahori vs La Seductora, Medussa, Rosa Negra
3) La Mascara, Mictlan, Volador Jr. vs Euforia, Nosferatu, Satanico
4) Dr. Wagner Jr., Heavy Metal, Shocker vs Damian 666, Halloween, Terrible
5) Mistico & Negro Casas vs Averno & Mephisto [CMLL TAG]

I’m thinking Diana and champions retain, only because there’s been no angle leading up to it. I feel less sure about the title match than I do the hair match, even with the weird build in the hair match (which I’ll go over next.)

There’s also an AAA TV taping in Toluca.

04/15: new non-champion, Prision Fatal, bad week, CMLL DF lineups,

thecubsfan 2 Comments

CMLL.com says Lady Apache has relinquished the Mexican National Women’s Championship. Apache had held the title since 2004, and thru multiple jumps between AAA and CMLL. Before Lady Apache’s first jump, it’d been AAA’s top year-round women’s title. Somewhere along the line, the belt became Lady Apache’s personal championship.

Historically, wrestlers are supposed to drop any National title they hold when they win a World championship in the same division. Lady Apache didn’t, and I presumed it was to guarantee she’d still have a belt when CMLL wanted to move their title onto someone else. Apache dropping the Mexican title would seem to mean she’s not worried about losing the CMLL belt for quite a while. I guess there’s a small chance the commission actually complained about the situation.

(That would also mean it may be a long time before Dark Angel wins a belt, since she wouldn’t be eligible for the Mexican title and would be aced out of the World title.)

CMLL says they’ll run a decision match for the belt in Arena Mexico soon.

According to Ovaciones, today’s IWRG main event is now a La Prision Fatal match, with 10 guys putting up their hair and masks:
– Astro Boy
– Okumura
– Masada
– Fantasma de la Opera
– Kai
– Yamato
– Dr. Cerebro
– Cerebro Negro
– Kraneo
– Esfinge

IWRG’s site is still down.

Ovaciones has a list of Bad Things That Happened This Week
04/07 – Referee El Acapulco died
04/07 – La Parka Jr.’s car accident
04/09 – Loco Max fractured two ribs in Puebla
04/12 – Dos Caras suffered a concussion
04/12 – when a dive goes wrong, Ultimo Dragoncito bruised his testicles
Next Tuesday, Puebla regular Asturiano is undergoing knee surgery.

The latest update on La Parka Jr., also from Ovaciones, is that he’s in Mexico city, and he’s got multiple fractures in his left arm and shoulder.

CMLL cards for the week

CMLL (TUE) 04/17 Arena Coliseo Lineup
1) Tiger Kid, Molotov vs Polvora, Vaquero
2) Marcela, Sahori, Luna Magica vs Hiroka, Amapola, Mima Shimoda
3) Felino, Maximo, Virus vs Ephesto, Misterioso Jr., Arkangel
4) Dr. Wagner Jr., Hijo de Lizmark, Negro vs Halloween, Mr. Aguila, Terrible
5) Alex Koslov vs Atlantis

Big match for Koslov. I don’t think Tiger Kid works a non-IWRG show without Felino. Assuming Tiger Kid is the same guy as Kid Tiger, which may kill me down the road.

CMLL (FRI) 04/20 Arena Mexico
1) Danger & Moltov vs Caligula & Messala
2) Leono, Valiente, Virus vs Euforia, Nosfearatu, Satanico
3) Alex Koslov, Blue Panther, Ultimo Dragon vs Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca, Tarzan Boy
4) Mistico, Negro Casas, Sagrado vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
5) Marco Corleone, Rey Bucanero, Shocker vs Atlantis, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero

This could be an excellent gauge of High Society’s popularity. I figure there will be people leaving after the semimain. It’s Euforia and Nosferatu’s Arena Mexico debuts, and they may make it on CAN52 from here.

CMLL (SUN) 04/22 Arena Mexico – though CMLL doesn’t seem to note this site change on their site, so I dunno. Maybe next week instead?
1) Rayo Tapatio I & Rayo Tapatio II vs Polvora & Vaquero
2) Brillante, Tiger Metalico, Tigre Blanco vs Apocalipsis, Dr. X, Hooligan
3) Diana la Cazadora, Marcela, Sahori vs Amapola, Gatubela, Princesa Sujei
4) Hijo de Lizmark, Maximo, Texano Jr. vs Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila
5) Mistico, Rey Bucanero, Sagrado vs Atlantis, Black Warrior, Eclipse

That semimain is 5/6th rematch. I think it’s possible they switch Lizmark and Sagrado and go with a title match after the show tonight, but then again, this might be the Kids Show and why have the rudos get the win there? This is actually Diana la Cazadora’s first Arena Coliseo match, she’s worked a handful of Arena Mexico matches. I presume this Gatubela is the same women who was working in Arena Coliseo Monterrey in 2003 (and must’ve changed her name, since I haven’t seen her mentioned since – there’s a male wrestler also using that name.)

Brillante is the same guy as Brilliante Jr. in AOL – is he the same guy as the one in Xalapa? I have no idea of the geography of these things.

CMLL FSE has
04/08 Leono, Stuka Jr., Virus b Dr. X, Jeque, Loco Max
04/08 Damián 666, Halloween, Mr. Águila b Máximo, Satánico, Tigre Metálico

FSE is much quieter than the rest of my channels for some reason.

Accion

CMLL: Tag Team Titles. We get a wide shot of the stage side, and the building does lock packed. Mistico bleeds a bunch here – there’s not a focus on it, but the upper half of his mask is turned red.

AAA: Muerte/Kenzo vs Charly/Chessman – more tag team action than you can shake a stick at. Kenzo’s selling is unusual. Chessman embraces his inner high spot demon and tries a top rope corkscrew moonsault. That fails, and the Legion gets the heat. Konnan gets out of his wheelchair long enough to use a cane to cheat, but the Hell Brothers make a comeback and Charly wins with an inverted figure four on Kenzo.

AAA’s TV tapings start back up tonight with a TV in Veracruz. Note that the main event will obviously have to change with no Parka – maybe Intocable or Octagon in his spot?
