03/25: IWRG, Dos Leyenda, FSE

thecubsfan 8 Comments

On Friday’s Figure Four Daily, Vampiro said he and CMLL talked things thru, and he expects to back in the promotion in June. He plans on working a limited schedule.

That Vampiro interview was quite something. It’s worth $7.95 for it – heck, it almost was worth $79.95.

IWRG

IWRG (THU) 03/22 Arena Naucalpan
1) Comando Gama b Aguila Oriental
2) King Boy & Puma King b Sadico & Supremo Jr.
3) Black Terry, Fantasma de la Ópera, Peligro b Ave Fenix, Freelance, Kid Tiger
4) Kraneo, Pierroth Jr., Veneno b Astro Boy, Kai, Leono
5) Alex Koslov, El Hijo del Solitario, Negro Navarro DQ Bestia Salvaje, Damián 666, Masada

Yamato was supposed to be in the semimain, but Veneno gave him a martiente before the match, and that was the end of Yamato. See the neck brace over there. I’m guessing this guy’s AJPW trainee Hiroshi Mihara and Kai is Atsushi Sakai, but I may have that backwards.

In the main Damian fouled Koslov, but Solitario pulled the ref and counted himself, which got Damian to stop covering. Solitario then faked a foul for the win.

Ovaciones says Dos Leyenda will start rotating around each year, honoring Luttertoh and another random legend. This would be entirely sensible if we didn’t know the actual inspiration for this change.

Ovaciones also says tickets for that show will be up any second now on ticketmaster – looking right now, they’re still not.

Accion wasn’t on at it’s normal time this week, and the next replay isn’t till 4 AM. I’ll add it tomorrow if I remember.

CMLL on FSE has:
03/18 Coliseo: Alex Koslov, La Mascara, Volador Jr. vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
03/18 Coliseo: Leono vs Mogur [hair]

You know, you haven’t really seen the Burger King till you’ve seen him playing three card monty in Spanish.

07/23 news: Accion, Congress

Accion

CMLL: The Dos/Lizmark/Metal vs Corleone/Stamboli/Kenzo match, of all things. I guess no one got hurt in that one. This match is oddly listed as for the NWA Middleweight title – not quite accurate. Jindrak has an awesome running down the ramp and leaaping over spot in here. It’s like his vertical leap was actually useful for once. Stamboli takes a good chokeslam from Lizmark. Dos got Jindrak – who has hair again – with a quick German for the win. I was thinking Stamboli and Jindrak were leaving money on the table by not having hair for Lizmark and Dos to eventually win, and maybe someone educated Mark?

AAA: Octagon vs Zumbido for the Middleweight Title. I didn’t complain about this as much as maybe should’ve when Octagon won the belt, but it’s quite the dumb idea and a complete waste of the tournament they ran to fill it. If Octaogn needs a token belt, remind him he’s tag champ. In the final sequence, Zumbido’s big slap got not-el Hijo de Tirantes. Zumbido went on to rollup Octagon, and Electroshock ran out to count – I have absolutely no clue why Electro would do that, but I guess we’re getting a Guapos/Vipers feud? Zumbido of course assumes that’s three, but everything gets sorted out – oh, Electro is making “I want the belt” motions, I guess that’s the explanation (though it still doesn’t make sense.) The match gets reset – so Zumbido wasn’t actually hurt by this turn of events – and Octagon got La Jarocha for the win.

Ovaciones today previews the upcoming AAA taping, noting Rossy Moreno’s return – from having kids.

Congress Show this weekend

thecubsfan 1 Comment

TAKE 2. Anyone going to the congress show this weekend? Same stips as last time – if you’re going, if you’re figuring something around the show, if you want to pool resources on getting there, if you just rather sit next to someone you barely known from the internet rather than in the back row by yourself, trying to see over twenty kids standing on their seats, leave me a note so we can work something out.

We actually have a CARD

OMLL (SUN) 07/23 Congress Theatre Lineup [arenas de chicago]
1) Coco Negro & Coco Verde vs Acid Jazz & Justin Adams
2) SWAT Kat vs Rayo Lazer vs Aguila del America
3) Mini Charly Manson vs Gringo Loco & Guerrerito del Futuro
4) Blue Demon Jr. & Huracan Ramirez vs Rey Misterio & Arkangel de la Muerte

I believe the show starts at 5. GA is $10, Ringside is $15.

That 3rd match can not be right. The last dozen times they’ve done that match, it’s Mascarita Sagrada or Tzuki as the missing man, and I’d assume that’s the deal here – but why wouldn’t they list it? Last minute booking? General wackiness?

2 should be good, though I’m hoping SWAT Kat doesn’t do another pointless blade job. If they make it an actual tag match, 3 should be (usual) fun, and I have a desire to see 1 – perhaps the city guys watched a lucha tape between now and then and perhaps they people who are supposed to explain what they want out of them will time, or perhaps not and the match will still be entertaining in a different manner. 4 should be – well, maybe they saved on payoffs there to pay the rest of the boys better! (It’ll be fine, I guess.)

Wasn’t Gringo Loco a tecnico last time this group did a show? Was Charly Manson? (This, I truly don’t recall.) Wasn’t Acid Jazz a tecnico and Justin Adams a rudo and the clowns have ALWAYS been a rudo (though I’m betting they won’t be come Sunday.)

You know what would be nifty – a trios match.

(You may be able to tell how close I am to a rant. Perhaps that’s an added draw.)
