Nothing on either Coliseo show. Nothing more on the AAA results. I do now know what the deal was with the Virus/Mascara Purpura match ending early on Monday – a recap in La Prensa says Mascara Purpura hurt his arm on a dive.

Kenzo/Rey is a bonus match for Sunday. CMLL’s story explanation is their match in Puebla and their earlier face offs in matches were just so good, they needed to do one more time. It’s not a title match.

IWRG (THU) 11/16 Arena Naucalpan Results
1) Halcon Salvaje, Kid Tiger b Avisman, Black Stone
2) Ave Fenix, Kung Fu Jr., Turbo b Comando Gama, Fantasma de la Opera, Macho II
3) Bacteria, Freelance b Black Jaguar, Comando Mega
This turned out not to be a stakes match, but maybe next week.
4) Dr. Cerebro, Suicida, Villano III b Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Negro Navarro, Pierroth II
5) Cerebro Negro, Mistico, Sagrado b Misterioso II, Nitro, Veneno

AAA (THU) 11/23 Plaza de Toros La Comitecia Lineup [El Heraldo de Chipas]
1) Mini Chessman, Jerrito Estrada vs Mascarita Sagrada, Mascarita Divina
2) Nemesis AAA, Super Fly, Rey Cometa vs Drake, Pirata Morgan Jr., Barba Roja
3) Dizzy vs Gran Demon [mask]
4) Intocable, Octagon, Aliado vs Alan Stone, Pirata Morgan, Abismo Negro

I know a mask match is supposed to be a big deal, but this is more interesting to me for NEMESIS VS NEMESIS. It’d be better if we knew which guy was Nemesis IWRG – I think I may just decide that’s Drake for record keeping purposes.

CMLL.com also says the Monday Arena Mexico show was great, and Electroshock (re)debut was big. Uh huh. The Notimex notes that the Satanico, Electroshock, Silver King was booed, particularly Electroshock.

El Universal has an interview with El Santo. He says a US movie person called him, wanting to make a Santo movie, and put Bruce Willis in the role – and Santo immediately shot him down, because he’s Santo. Santo claims he’s 34, which either means luchawiki is wrong and he started wrestling at nine, or he’s lying! Or maybe it’s just a typo, but that’s less sensational.

11/09: Blue Demon, IWRG, US

Full Throttle (Coca Cola energy drink) is coming out with a Blue Demon version. The press release is here, and this is my favorite paragraph.

�This is a drink designed specifically for men who know the meaning of hard work, and no one captures the essence of this better than the Blue Demon, one of Mexico�s first and most enduring lucha libre stars.�

Dr. Wagner vs Atlantis has been added as the main event to this Sunday’s Arena Coliseo show.

IWRG (SUN) 11/05 Arena Naucalpan Results
1) Sasaki b Brazo Jr.
2) Ave Fenix, Kid Tiger b Avisman, Comando Mega
3) Astro Boy, Ave Fenix, Simbolo b Camorra, Fantasma de la Opera, Macho II
Astro Boy took Freelance’s place, since he took a martiente from Black Jaguar on Thursday.
4) Cyborg, Okumura, Veneno b Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro, Fabian el Gitano
Okumuar fouled Fabian and pinned him for the win.
5) Alex Koslov, Kenzo Suzuki, Marco Corleone b Dr. Wagner Jr., Felino, Volador Jr.
Corleone fouled Wagner and pinned him for the win.

There’s supposed to be a big lucha show in Anahiem on 11/18. (So Cal thread, ticketmaster), though they’ve already pulled Negro Casas & Mistico from the lineup. You’ll notice that the website they’re listing at the bottom of the poster, fcwlive.com, just is a poster for a previous show which never actually occurred, so there’s a bit of skepticism here.

Outside of Chicago, there’s a show in Elgin featuring local indy lucha guys. Running at 4 PM on a Sunday is great (if they’re really running at 4 PM.) I’m planning on making this one.
