opposing students were from the Villano Gym, though Ojo de Tigre and his students tried to intercede and take the match for themselves. (They were asked to come back another time.) Not sure if I got everyone, but Centurion (IWRG) beat Negro Casasola (Villanos) in the end. Post match challenges set up Black Terry & Fresero Jr. vs Villano IV & a student (or maybe Villano V)

Main cage match of Arena Aficion Tuesday night ended in a double disqualification draw. Last two in were Hijo de Dr. Wagner and Hijo de LA Park, and one pulled the other’s mask while the other fouled, and that was the finish. If I was in the crowd and that’s what they did for a result, I’d never return.

Gronda is listed on a Kid’s Day show in Tijuana, with LA Park, Super Porky, and a Histeria which really could be II or III. Anyway, Gronda is wrestling again, though if he’s on that sort of show, this might not be the one in Pachuca.

Lineups

CMLL (TUE) 04/19/2011 Arena Mexico
1) Leono & Molotov vs Bronco & Inquisidor
2) Ángel Azteca Jr., Fuego, Metatrón vs Dr. X, Loco Max, Nitro
3) Diamante vs Hijo del Signo [Forjando un Idolo]
4) Hombre Bala Jr. vs Puma King [Forjando un Idolo]
5) Delta, Metal Blanco, Valiente vs Rey Bucanero, Terrible, Texano
6) Blue Panther, Rush, Super Porky vs Felino, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas

If Metal Blanco & Delta are in a match opposing the guys who main evented the last major show (Terrible & Texano) and the guy who main evented the last major show before that (Bucanero), then what is he getting out of this Forjando un Idolo tournament? They’re already treated like an Idol, there’s nothing they can win in this tournament (and there’s nothing they’ve actually mentioned you can win in this tournament.)

 

Scorpio, Silver King, Nuevo Laredo

Scorpio (Senior), Rafael Nunez, passed away this morning. Scorpio was part of El Toreo in the 80s, one of many guys who could claim a win over Canek for the UWA Heavyweight Title (and lost it back to him two months later.) Scorpio was given the Feo gimmick that was passed down to his son, Scorpio Jr. In recent years, Scorpio was a Mexico City Box Y Lucha commissioner and was often seen during incidents at the CMLL Arena Mexico shows.

Silver King, can count to 6/Black Terry Jr.

IWRG (THU) 06/24 Arena Naucalpan [Black Terry Jr. (flickr), @thegladiatores]
1) Guerrero 2000 b Alan Extreme
2) Comando Negro, Eterno, Hijo del Signo b Dark Devil, Guerrero Nazi, Imposible
3) Avisman, El Hijo del Diablo, Gringo Loco b Brazo Metalico, Daga, Eragon
4) Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro b Bombero Infernal, Maldito Jr., Samot [captains hair]
5) Silver King b Máscara Año 2000 Jr. [IWRG IC HEAVY]

Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. lost the title to Silver King. Way to let Arena Naucalpan down! If this whole story ends up with, say, Chico Che winning the heavyweight title to avenge IWRG, I’d vote it for feud of the year. If this whole story ends with Silver King walking off with the heavyweight title and never returning to defending it, in Negro Casas/Mistico style, it’d be great on a different level. Dos de Tres has promos with the new champion and the old champion.

Dr. Cerebro & Bombero Infernal were the captains, so Bombero Infernal lost his hair.

Guerrero Nazi is a tecnico! I was sure I’ve seen that name before, but I can’t find any previous matches. Dark Devil was hanging around Arena Neza when they were running the Colmillo Blanco/Ramstein shows there. I presume that’s a trio of Negro Navarro students.

CMLL Nuevo Laredo mega show (in need of a name) press conference notes: the Gladaitores, Cesar (who notes all of the undercard connections to Oriental), and SuperLuchas (who links back here – echo chamber complete!) Of the non-Oriental & Mistico teams, it sounds like Atlantis vs Olimpico was the only pushed slightly as a rivalry.

NJPW has an article hyping the Okumura, Liger, Yoshihashi vs Garza, Terrible, Niebla match just to get in on the hyping of things.  There’s an obvious relationship on the Japanese team between importance and casualness of clothes worn for a press conference.

If Garza is back with CMLL, does that mean someone else is coming in to lead the Independents? Did they forget about that?

Arena Mexico previews: SuperLuchas, and Ovaciones has one after it’s Nuevo Laredo preview. Today’s about as a lame duck a Friday show can get. There’s nothing going on heading into the show, CMLL spent yesterday hyped an entirely different show, and no one will be talking about this show tomorrow. There might be some good matches, but there might not be many people watching them. There surely will be a moment of applause for Scorpio.

Dragon Rojo says Poder Mexica was winning 80% of the title match, can’t understand how he lost again. Dragon Rojo’s family came to see him with the title, but instead he was hurt after Metro’s German suplex, so Metro is a new rival. Dragon Rojo might actually win that feud. Might.
