4) Alex Koslov, Heavy Metal, Rey Bucanero b Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila
5) Black Warrior, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero b Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Lizmark Jr.

Cerebro Negro won the IWRG Welterweight Championship in the main event relevos incredible on Sunday, which is incredible because he wasn’t supposed to be in this match. So he won a hair and a title in a week.

Jesus Perez Rodriguez, a lucha and boxing promoter in Aguascalientes for the last 65 years, passed away on 02/23. He was 91. (El Sol Del Centro)

Mundo De Hoy articles about VIP:
– mask match announcement, promoters explain they want to work with everyone and just happen to not have CMLL guys this time. They also explain how they’re much better wrestling than WWE.
– Super Muneco vows to retire if he loses his mask. That ain’t happening. Super Muneco explains how the feud started in AAA – Coco Rojo won the first 175 matches, and then Super Muneco won one.
– Coco Rojo does not make that same vow. He’s (saying he’s) 39 and figures he could wrestler to 45 or 50. Coco Rojo sets this up as a battle between the 90s (him) vs the 80s (Muneco), which I don’t know is a good thing for ’07.

Both the participants were asked about the WWE; there seems to be an idea that they’re in competition with those WWE shows despite being two weeks before them.

El Salvador.com has a story about the small lucha scene in San Salvador – basically, one arena with weekly shows. There’s another article briefly discussing the history of lucha libre in San Salvador, talking a lot about local wrestler Rayman – he’s either Max Linares or suspiciously claims the same background as the original Rayo de Jalisco.

Univision is settling a fine with FCC over not broadcasting the required amount of children’s programming for a stretch (they put kids in a telenovela instead). Taking care of this fine will allow the Univision sale to be completed, so it’s another domino falling.

CMLL (SUN) 02/18 Arena Coliseo Results [ova, hugo999]
1) Bracito de Oro, Mini Olimpico b Fire, Sombrita
2) Super Nova, Tony Rivera, Valiente b Apocalipsis, Hooligan, Ramstein
3) Arkangel, Mogur, Nitro b Leono, Texano Jr., Virus
4) Blue Panther, La Mascara, Mictlan b Alex Koslov, Ephesto, Misterioso II
5) Atlantis, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero b Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero

Dos went down in the main event, which doomed the tecnicos. Alex had a falling out with his partners, so he’s indeed going tecnico. Texano went down in the tercera, and Mogur fouled Leono to lead his team to victory before challenging for a hair match. Tony Rivera replaced Flash and got hurt. Three is an above average day.

Black Warrior and Mistico signed a lot of autographs while in Tabasco this weekend, and occasionally held up large banners. Didn’t see results for this show yet

CMLL PRI (SAT) 02/17 Plaza de la Unidad Results [El SOl de Toluca]
1) El Tigre, The Thing b Bengala, Damian el Inmortal
2) India Sioux, Marcela b Amapola, Hiroka
3) Destroyer, Emperador, Flecha DQ Estruendo, Skar, Sombra de Plata
4) Felino, Sagrado, Volador Jr. b Alex Koslov, Okumura, Veneno
5) Astro Boy, Mistico, Negro Casas b Averno, Hector Garza, Hijo del Perro Aguayo

I would attend political functions in the United States if they, like the PRI here, sponsored lucha libre battles. Anyway, the biggest news of the day is surely that Flecha and Sombra de Plata are feuding, if the report can be believed. Flecha faked a foul here. Astro Boy and Averno were added to the main event, and the finish was the finish you know and love.

indy (FRI) 02/16 Arena Queretaro Results [Knotty @ El Martinete
2) Dark Boy, Dark Crazy b Galaxy, Luminoso
3) Artillero, Super Comando DRAW Lince I, Lince II [LLQ TAG]
4) Batman, Robin b Blade, Perro del Ring
5) Huracan Ramirez, Huracan Ramirez Jr., Principe Valiente Jr. DQ Coco Blanco, Coco Rojo, Coco Verde
6) Electroshock, Hijo de Solitario b Pierroth Jr., Rambo

Tecnicos won when Solitario turned on Electroshock. I hate that – why should they get the win because they couldn’t get along? If you fight each other and cause the end of the match that way, you’re a loser. If I were Hijo de Pierroth or Rambo, I’d protest this to the commission.

indy (FRI) 02/16 Guaymas, Sonora Results [Contragolpe @ El Martinete]
1) Black Devil b Negrosino
2) Enfermero Jr. b Chacal
3) Sombra I, Sombra III b Azteca & Contragolpe
4) Cien Caras, Willy Cortez, Dr. Karonte b Super Halcon, Rey Centella Jr., Mastodonte

Why is Cien Caras doing random matches? ($$$?)

CMLL (SUN) 02/11 Arena Neza Results [The Gladiatores]
1) Chamaco Vadillo, Dark Devil b Ambar, Boaz
2) Mohicano I, Mohicano II DRAW Luis Cirio, Tony Cirio
3) Danger, Flash b Caligula, Messala
4) Rayo Tapatio I, Rayo Tapatio II, Satanico b Apocalipsis, Dr. X, Nitro
5) Felino, Mistico, Sagrado b Ramstein, Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero

La Mascara (Sagrado), Averno (Tarzan) and Mephisto (Ultimo) were all supposed to be in the main event. La Mistica on Ultimo. Flash did a 450 to win here, and the report didn’t note an arm injury here. Maybe another show the same day? Tough for him to be in Guadalajara the same day, unless my geography is way off. Ramstein is the (unofficial) Rey de Neza.

CMLL (SUN) 02/11 Colonia Aguil Azul, Neza Lineup [The Gladiatores]
1) Senky, Sculman, Can Star b Lobo Vikingo, Bestia Metalca, Sobredosis
2) Mini Olimpico, Ultimo Dragoncito b Mini Halloween, Mini Damian 666
3) La Nazi, Amapola, ? b Marcela, Sahori, Flor Metalica
4) Misterioso II, Okumura, Makabro DQ Fantasma, Hijo del Fantasma, Fantasma Jr.
5) Dos Caras Sr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Felino b Olimpico, Mascara Ano 2000, Tarzan Boy

BAJA STAR (SAT) 02/10 Auditorio de Tijuana Results [The Gladiatores]

1) Calavera, Clon b Duende, Kimura
2) Ricochet, Super Rhino b Angel Negro Jr., Pancho Cachondo
3) Extassis, Star Boy b Enfermero Jr., Pierroth Jr.
4) Hijo de Rey Misterio, Rey Misterio Sr., Super Astro DQ Mortiz, Principe Arandu, TJ Boy
5) LA Park, Latin Lover b Hector Garza, Super Parka

Latin’s apparently making his own schedule, which is how he ends up facing a CMLL guy while working on AAA TV.

AAA Villalobos (SAT) 02/10 Auditorio Local de La Magdalena Atlicpac Results [The Gladiatores]
1) Callejero, Perro Cibernetico b Angel del Metal, Super Destello
2) Mascara de Oro Y Plata, Super Mascara b Iluminado, King Demon
3) La Parkita, Mascarita Magnifica b Mini Charly Manson, Mini Cuervo
4) Demonio Cibernetico, Guerrero Negro, Johnny Villalobos b Laredo Kid, Nemesis AAA, Super Fly
5) Diabolica, Monster, Muerte del Diablo b Alebrije, Martha Villalobos, Zorro

There are also AULL results over on The Gladiatores, but author pretty much passed on giving results in the tag team tournament, as far as I could tell, and nothing much of note happened.

AAA Munoz (WED) 02/14 Auditorio Miguel Barragan de San Luis Potosi Results [El Sol de SLP]
3) Fabi Apache, Martha Villalobos b La Diabólica, Miss Janeth
4) Alberije, Billy Boy b Gran Apache, Monsther
5) Billy Boy, El Elegido, Zorro b Abismo Negro, Alan Stone, Cibernetico

Negro Casas and Texano are headed back to Japan next month, with Texano getting a title match against Minoru for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship. This title match is out of nowhere, and I thought this was just a case of “Japan loves cowboys”, but no, there’s a ISSUE here

Minoru explained that when he went to Mexico around four years ago, he and Texano developed an unusual hatred for each other and that Texano tricked him when telling him directions and Minoru ended up in a taxi for about five hours. If he defeats Texano, he wants the young Mexican to pay him back the taxi fare.

(courtesy Strong Style Spirit)

So I guess Minoru has heat with Texano. How much is 5 hours of taxi fare in Mexico City? We may have to open up a collection box.

TV question: Did the Tag Title match air this weekend? Which match aired last weekend?

CMLL (TUE) 11/28 Arena Coliseo Results [el halcon]
1) Mini Olimpico, Ultimo Dragoncito b Mini Mr. Aguila, Mini Violencia
2) Danger, Flash, Starman b Apocalipsis, Artillero, Super Comando
3) Fabian el Gitano, Oro II, Valiente b Arkangel, Hombre sin Nombre, Mr. Mexico
4) Marco Corelone, Okumura, Olimpico b Dos Caras Jr., Heavy Metal, La Mascara
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Shocker b Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero

Main wasn’t said to be great. Dos got a visual pin on Marco in the semi-main, but the refs were down and Marco got a foul in.

CMLL (SUN) 11/26 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara Results [cmll]
1) Virgo b Milenio
2) Exterminador DQ Destroyer
3) Golden, Idolo b Mr. Trueno, Rey Trueno
4) Infierno, Magnum b Metal Blanco, Metatron
5) Emilio Charles Jr., Mr. Power, Pierroth b Felino, Leono, Stuka Jr.
6) Blue Panther, Groon XXX, Volador Jr. b Eclipse, Olimpico, Tarzan Boy

After his loss, Metal Blanco wanted a mask match with Magnum, but was ignored. Leono wanted a hair match with Mr. Power after their match, and he’ll be getting it this weekend. (That’s a Leono win.)

indy (SUN) 11/26 Arena Coliseo Monterrey Results [lomejordeluchalibre]
1) Corazon Adicto I, Corazon Adicto II ?? Payaso Loco I, Payaso Loco II
2) Burrito, La Pulga ?? Borrico, Richoche
3) Hijo del Senor Tormenta, Mistica, Red Flamer b Angel del Amor, Dulce Poly, Sky
4) Crazzy Demon, Pancho Tequila, Potro Jr. b Casanova, Enrqiue Vera, La Kalaka
5) Konnan Big, Slam Shady b Humberto Garza Jr., Vudu

Konnan fouled Humberto to get the win. Mr. Texas was originally scheduled to work the main event, but he would’ve been working at the TNA show around the same time.

Lineup for a CMLL “Duelo de Titanes” show at Arena Monterrey:

CMLL (SUN) 12/16 Arena Monterrey Lineup [lomejordeluchalibre]
3) Averno, Mephisto, Olimpico vs Blue Panther, Felino, Volador
4) Rey Bucanero, Negro Casas, Shocker vs Ultimo Guerrero, Atlantis, Tarzan Boy
5) Hijo de Santo, Mistico, Dr. Wagner Jr. vs Damian 666, Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Hector Garza

Looking at that main event, I’m thinking it’ll double TNA’s attendance.

The University of Communications (Mexico City) has an annual festival, showcasing the best work of it’s students. This year, the theme was lucha libre, and they brought in Starman, Stuka Jr., Heavy Metal, Mephisto, Felino, Shocker, Hanaoka and (not that) Brian Lee for a show. (Wait, that means Shocker’s still working rudo in places.) There’s a video clip of Stuka and Starman’s match (though very little of it.)

El Halcon has a story from El Siglo de Torreon about a lucha school in town.
