CMLL (SUN) 02/11 Arena Coliseo Results [cmll]
1) Polvora, Vaquero b Rayo Tapatio I, Rayo Tapatio II
2) Hooligan, Loco Max, Ramstein b Starman, Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metalico
3) Leono, Stuka Jr., Virus DQ Mogur, Ohara, Okumura
4) Maximo, Sagrado, Texano Jr. b Arkangel, Misterioso II, Nitro
5) Dr. Wagner, Lizmark Jr., Negro Casas b Eclipse, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero
6) Mistico b Black Warrior

Vaquero and Tigre Blanco were carted out in the first two matches. Stuka replaced Mascara Purpura in the third, note on that below. Mogur fouled Leono to end that match, so Leono/Mogur is indeed an upcoming hair match. Note the Mexican Trios champs teamed up and won, so no program there. Wagner beat Ultimo in the semimain with help from the ropes, as previously noted. Warrior won fall one of the main, but Mistico won the last two with a casita and la Mistica.

Alexis’ report notes this has been five straight Sunday shows with Mistico, and five straight full arenas.

Ovaciones has a couple injury notes
– Flash suffered a right arm injury on Sunday. It required surgery, and he’ll be out for “several” weeks. No replacement has been announced for the Rey de Aires. Who would it be?
– Mascara Purpura may have been your answer, but he’s also hurt. It’s an ankle injury, and he’ll be out six weeks.

So, young high flying guy, and we’ve already got La Máscara, Sagrado, Sombra de Plata, Volador, Metro, Leono, Super Nova, Flash, Sangre Azteca, Felino, Stuka, Valiente, Misterioso, Averno, Mephisto, Alex Koslov – Astro Boy? Danger? Trueno? Fabian? No, not Fabian.

The Perro/Garza/Aguila vs Tarzan/Ultimo/Atlantis trios match has been turned into a CMLL Trios title match (instead of waiting til next week to do it.)

IWRG (SUN) 02/11 Arena Naucalpan Results
1) Zella b Francotirador
2) Extrano, Vampiro Metatlico b Celestial, Simbolo
3) Antaris, Bacteria, Star Boy b Super Colt, Trauma I, Trauma II
4) Avisman, Black Terry, Fantasma de la Opera b Cerebro Negro, Freelance, Suicida
5) Misterioso II, Pierroth, Veneno DQ Electroshock, Esfinge, Negro Navarro

Pierroth faked a foul in the main event. Freelance and Avisman are still feuding, as are Veneno and Electroshock.

IWRG (SUN) 02/18 Arena Naucalpan Lineup
1) Mr. Randal vs Volcan Negro
2) Bacteria, Antaris vs Black Jaguar, Vampiro Metalico
3) Coco Rojo, Coco Verde, Coco Blanco vs Camorra, Avisman, Supremo Jr.
4) Suicida, Freelance vs Black Terry, Avisman
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Mascara Sagrada, ? vs Pierroth, Black Pentagon, Bestia Salvaje

They’ve got Avisman listed in two matches. Gotta be a typo.

Guerreros del Ring #74 has El Elegido.
Box Y Lucha 2805 has Nicho in AAA and Fuerza vs Juvi.

Espanto Jr. is selling a Best of DVD, including his mask match with El Hijo del Santo. The article includes a phone number, if you’d like to call Mexico. Get a copy for me.

Rest of the week lineups are below.

01/15 – 22 Lineups

Box Y Lucha posted their list today, so I guess I should do the same. A couple quick notes

– Friday’s Tijuana show has another “lots of masks/hair” on the line match. Lizmark’s involved, and every time he’s been in one of these for the last year, I keep wondering if this is how it’ll end for him, losing a mask with no particular build kinda far away from his popularity bases, because he’s just finally found someone who’ll pay for it. It’s kinda sad, but it also would be kind of a relief for him to get that payoff he’s been sticking around for and be done with it. Other names in the match are Groon XXX, Hijo de Solitario, Lizmark, Super Muneco, Coco Negro, Coco Rojo, Electroshock, Espectro Jr., Blue Demon Jr., and Rayman
– Rey defends the LH title against Ultimo in Guadalajara on Sunday.
– The IWRG Veneno/Diablo/Fantasma de la Opera trio, who are calling themselves Corporacion VIP, are promising a new member on Sunday. IWRG appears to be posting lineups but not results on their site. (Same thing with CMLL GDL)
– There’s a big show in Cancun on Saturday, with a main event of Santo & Latin Lover vs Demon and Nicho. There’s been talk about Nicho going to one group or another, but as long as he’s able to get high paying indy bookings like that one sounds, he’s not going to need to join a major promotion right away.
– There’s a UWA Welterweight title defense on Sunday, presumably a different one the other UWA Welterweight title floating around in Japan. I think there was a thread hashing this out on Box Y Lucha, but I couldn’t make sense of it.
– AULL is starting a tag team tournament. That’s why they’re not drawing, they don’t have completely random people fighting for tag team titles, it all makes sense now.

01/08: Coliseo, Mictlan, Halcon, Magazines

cmll.com

CMLL (SUN) 01/07 Arena Coliseo Results
1) Molotov, Sombra de Plata b Artillero, Zayco
2) Starman, Tigre Blanco, Tony Rivera DQ Apocalipsis, Loco Max, Ramstein
3) Arkangel, Okumura, Sangre Azteca b Mascara Purpura, Mictlan, Virus
4) Alex Koslov, Averno, Mephisto b Felino, Sagrado, Volador Jr.
5) Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr., Shocker b Black Warrior, Olimpico, Tarzan Boy

It appears Mictlan wrestled, so I guess he’s okay.

Mictlan’s one of the interviews in the newest El Halcon. Mictlan says he debuted in 1990 in Arena Coliseo Guadalajara, and his brother and his uncle trained him, but doesn’t reveal their names for obvious reasons. There’s also interviews with La Nazi – she worked as another gimmick before this one? in AAA? – Polvora, Sombra de Plata (who missed the 1st half of ’06 with an hand injury – which could be reinjuried with any strong tug – and gives a long rant about it being up to the 1st/2nd match guys to force the schedulers to move them up rather than complaina bout not giving oppurtinties), and a bio of wrestler turned referee El Judio (the Jew).

Magazines
Super Luchas #194 hypes Ultimo Dragon’s plans for 2007.
Luchas 2000 #350 has new champions and hair losses
Lucha 2000 Special #17 has a year in review.

Newspaper articles
Atlantis was visiting children’s hospital this Saturday as part of Dia de Reyes celebrations. So was Super Parka.
El Vanguardia hypes up local wrestler El Relampago.
Noticias Oaxaca has a obit of local wrestler Ray Alcantara.
El Tiempo has an article about former famous rudos in Columbia now living in poverty.

Lineups:
– Hiroka/Apache rematch tonight in Puebla.
– Still no word about AAA tapings. They haven’t updated their site in 18 days.

(more coming later)

12/17 – 12/25 lineups

For archival purposes, here’s this week’s lineups. So useful on Thursday, I know.

I’ve also included Monday’s lineups. No one’s running shows on the 24th, all those shows are pushed back to the 25th, and I figure box y lucha won’t be any quicker to publish what they’ve got next week either, so this is going to be as complete as it gets for that day. It appears to be one of those days where Mistico will work four times; he’s at least working Coliseo DF and Neza, and IWRG is keeping it’s main event secret for the moment.
