04/09: Demon/Solitario, Coliseo

LUCHAS 2000 #363 teases Blue Demon Jr. vs Hijo del Solitario in a mask match on 05/05. I wonder what match will actually happen, if there’s an actual match here.

CMLL (SUN) 04/08 Arena Coliseo [ova]
1) Carrona & Vaquero b Espiritu Maligno & Karisma
2) Sombra de Plata, Super Nova, Valiente b Artillero, Pólvora, Súper Comando
3) Leono, Stuka Jr., Virus b Dr. X, Jeque, Loco Max
4) Damián 666, Halloween, Mr. Águila b Máximo, Satánico, Tigre Metálico
5) el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Héctor Garza, Terrible b Alex Koslov, Marco Corelone, Shocker

Terrible used the ropes to pin Marco in the main event. Metalico replaced Metal (fair enough), and Sombra de Plata filled in for Flash. Jeque might have gotten DQed for ripping Stuka’s match to set up the mask match.

indy (THU) 04/12 Arena Olimpico Laguna de Gomez Palacio [siglo de torreon]
1) Flashman & Scriba Jr. vs Fuego & Mini Star
2) Centella Azul Jr., Dorado Jr., Sexy Libra vs Dulce Paola, Scriba, Semental
3) Hijo del Angel Azteca & Piloto Suicida vs Mr. Guerrero & Muerte Siniestra
4) Hijo del Soberano vs Piloto Negro [mask, hair]

Negro won the JWA title from Soberano last week, so they’re doing a stips match this week.

The Martinete column in El Manana write that Mistico and Santo cost way too much (25000 pesos; $2,275 US), so promoters should use other stars instead. The column also rips Pierroth and Lizmark Sr. (need to retire) and Lizmark Jr. & Tarzan Boy (don’t do any thing in the ring.)

ESTO

CMLL (FRI) 03/30 Arena Mexico [ova, Galeno del Mal @ box y lucha, SuperLuchas, ESTO]
1) Dark Angel, Lady Apache, Marcela b Amapola, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda
2) Black Warrior, Misterioso II, Tarzan Boy b Leono, Sagrado, Volador Jr.
3) Atlantis, Olímpico, Sangre Azteca b Damián 666, Halloween, Mr. Águila
4) Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr., Rey Bucanero b Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
5) Místico & Último Guerrero b el Hijo del Perro Aguayo & Héctor Garza [ri]
6) Marco Corelone b Universo 2000 [hair]

Ovaciones reports an attendance of over 12,000. If that’s right, this lineup has to be considered a success; I wouldn’t have guessed they would do over 10,000.

Before the main event, they honored Salvador Lutteroth and Huracan Ramirez, with members of their families accepted plaques. Among the family members for Huracan Ramirez was Axxel, which was surely the point of the exercise. He wasn’t announced as coming in, but you’ll see a little bit lower than others are joining next week.

Main event had Cien Caras cheating for Universo (till Cien got ejected) and Bucanero cheating for Corelone. Universo didn’t want to take the hair cut, so Rey attacked him post match to settle him down. This was a bad match, but of course it would be. The rest of the card was said to be about what you’d expect – ESTO and others thought it was better than expected.

First fall of the semimain was Perro fouling Mistico and getting caught, second fall was Ultimo fouling Hector and not getting caught.

Tecnicos won in the fourth match, despite Lizmark going rudo. From reading the non-CMLL.com recaps, Lizmark Jr. might have wrestled the match as a normal tecnico, and just announced after the match that was it for him being a tecnico.

ESTO has an article about Huracan Ramirez, Salvador Lutteroth and past Dos Leyendas main events.

Next week’s cards:

CMLL (TUE) 04/03 Arena Coliseo Lineup
1) Bracito de Oro, Celestial vs Sombrita, Fire
2) Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metalico, Danger vs Super Comando, Artillero, Hooligan
3) Leono, Fabian el Gitano, Satanico vs Loco Max, Euforia, Noseferatu
4) Maximo, Virus, Mictlan vs Mephisto, Ephesto, Misterioso II
5) Shocker, Marco Corelone, Alex Koslov vs Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Sangre Azteca

Euforia and Noseferatu are (supposedly) new wrestlers. I believe Celestial is the opening match worker for IWRG, and this would also be his debut.

CMLL (FRI) 04/06 Arena Mexico Lineup
1) Super Nova, Flash vs Ramstein, Apocalipsis
2) La Mascara, Maximo, Valiente vs Okumura, Ohara, Goto
3) Atlantis, Tarzan Boy, Sangre Azteca vs Dr. Wagner Jr., Rayo de Jalisco, Alex Koslov
4) Mistico, Sagrado, Marco Corelone vs Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Blue Demon Jr., Mr. Aguila
5) Ultimo Guerrero vs Hector Garza

Main event makes sense based off yesterday’s finish. Blue Jr. and Rayo Jr. are surprises (guess Rayo shouldn’t have given it away months ago). Apparently, Blue Demon Jr. is still a Perro! Rayo teaming up with Wagner is just wrong.

This is the show that probably won’t make TV, because it’ll be a PPV reair week. Which makes me wonder why they started Ray and Demon this week – they’re here to look relevant and get on TV, and they won’t be this week. They must be around for a while.

CMLL (SUN) 04/08 Arena Coliseo Lineup
1) Espiritu Maligno, Karissma vs Vaquero, Carrona
2) Valiente, Super Nova vs Super Comando, Artillero
3) Virus, Flash, Leono vs Loco Max, Dr. X, Nitro
4) La Mascara, Volador Jr., Maximo vs Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila
5) Shocker, Marco Corelone, Alex Koslov vs Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Hector Garza, Terrible

It’s like they couldn’t decide which tag match to use as the opener, so they just are going to run them both. Odd.

CMLL (WED) 03/28 Centro de Convenciones, Madreo [anto_141286 @ box y lucha]
1) Dark Angel & Lady Apache b Amapola & Princesa Sujei
2) Stuka Jr. b Danger, Valiente, Virus, Super Nova, Leono
3) La Máscara, Máximo, Volador Jr. b Loco Ray, Sangre Azteca, Skandalo
4) Alex Koslov, Brazo de Platino, Marco Corelone b Ephesto, Mephisto, Misterioso II
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. & Místico DQ Averno & Black Warrior

No tag team title match, Negro didn’t make the show.

GdR has
03/25 Coliseo: Luna Magica, Marcela, Princesa Blanca b Medussa, Mima Shimoda, Rosa Negra
03/23 Mexico: Alex Koslov, Rey Bucanero, Volador Jr. b Ephesto, Mephisto, Misterioso II
Black Warrior’s house.

03/27: Guadalajara, IWRG, Monterrey, Puebla

CMLL

CMLL (TUE) 03/20 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [cmll]
1) Estrella de Jalisco b Imposter
2) Fraile de la Muerte b Nube Roja
3) El Egipcio b Rey Marisal
4) Stuka Jr. & Tigre Blanco b Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno
5) Máximo, Sagrado, Satánico b Maascara Ano 2000, Malefico, Máscara Mágica
6) Último Guerrero DQ Marco Corelone

First time CMLL’s posted Guadalajara results since early Feburary. (The results say 03/13, but it’s the 03/20 card.) Wouldn’t you know it, something intersting happened – Ultimo faked a foul and drew a DQ from the rudo referee, Marco started to leave, when he was confronted by Vampiro. Vampiro challenged Corleone to a match, next time he was in Guadalajara. I think Robert gave away CMLL booking plans.

IWRG (SUN) 03/25 Arena Naucalpan
1) Comando Gama & Vampiro Metálico b Celstial & Zella
2) Antaris & Bacteria b Black Thunder & Narcosatanico I
3) Esfinge, Kai, Yamato b El Hijo del Diablo, Trauma I, Trauma II
4) Fantasma de la Ópera, Pierroth Jr., Veneno DQ Freelance, Suicida, Turbo
5) Damián 666, Misterioso II, Villano III DQ El Dandy, Máscara Sagrada, Sagrado

El Dandy gave Villano III a martiente, and that was the end of that. Rambo was among those people checking on Villano III – the recap mentions Rambo’s the IWRG “Technical Director” (booker? why would they mention that?) – and somehow this led to Dandy making a challenge for a three way hair match, Dandy vs V3 vs Rambo. Once again, why? (Dandy will says it’s because Villano III took Rambo’s mask and hair many times, but – why?)

Suicida got DQed twice beating up Fantasma in the semifinal, and demanded a title shot. I don’t think that’s how that works.

Los Traumas LOST. A sad day for us all.

indy (SUN) 03/25 Arena Coliseo Monterrey
1) Mini Payaso Cero DRAW Beto Alcala
2) Angel Negro & Black Nazi b Ave Azul & Erin Snake
3) Arcangel (Monterrey) & Chuy Escobedo Jr. b La Fiera & Zulu
4) Ejecutor & Red Flamer b Corazon Adicto & Ultraman Jr.
5) Al Barone, Silver Cat, Silver Star b Golden Boy, Hijo de Anibal, Huracan Ramriez Jr.
6) Konan Big b Sky, Casanova, Pancho Tequila, Super Konan [FILL SUPER HEAVY]

La Fiera is working the segunda? At least La Fiera is working. Main event was supposed to be a cage match, was supposed to include Konnan King, but it’s Arena Coliseo Monterrey so you get what you pay for.

CMLL (MON) 03/26 Arena Puebla [hugo999]
1) Ares & Mr. Rafaga b Forajido & King Jaguar
2) Espiritu Maligno, Siki Osama Jr., Toro Bill Jr. b Asturiano, Blue Center, Tigre Rojo
3) Loco Max, Maniacop, Skandalo b Batman, Máximo, Texano Jr.
4) Damián 666, Halloween, Mr. Águila b Fuerza Chicana, Furia Chicana, La Mascara
5) Marco Corelone, Místico, Rey Bucanero b Averno, Máscara Año 2000, Último Guerrero

Los Chicanas replaced Metal and Volador Jr.

Super Luchas #205 is all about the WWE tour.

Mistico explained to El Sol de Tampaco that he’s missed previous bookings in the area because he was either injured, or announced as wrestling before the contract was actually signed and ended up booked elsewhere. He understands why local fans would be upset, and vows to be there tomorrow, for his tag title defense against Warrior and Averno.

CMLL (FRI) 03/16 Arena Mexico [ova, superluchas, ESTO]
1) Polvora & Vaquero b Sombra de Plata & Super Nova
2) Hiroka, Mima Shimoda, Princesa Sujei b Dark Angel, Luna Magica, Sahori
3) Ephesto, Mephisto, Misterioso Jr. b Felino, Lizmark Jr., Mictlan
4) Atlantis, Sangre Azteca, Universo 2000 b Heavy Metal, Sagrado, Volador Jr.
5) Alex Koslov, Marco Corleone, Shocker DQ Damian 666, Hector Garza, Hijo del Perro Aguayo

Perro fouled Marco. Sounds like the Perros were cheered over the new tecnico group. Ocampo says they were NOT announced as High Society.

Lizmark Jr. filled in for Blue Panther in the tercera, and they teased a rudo turn after the loss.

CMLL.com says Averno, Mephisto and Ephisto want a shot at the CMLL trios titles. So, as you’d quite expect, the trios champs are teaming up next week to fight a completely different unit. Wait, no, that makes absolutely no sense.

Lineups

CMLL (TUE) 03/20 Arena Coliseo
1) Bracito de Oro & Mini Fantasy vs Mini Halloween & Mini Mr. Aguila
2) Danger, Sombra de Plata, Trueno vs Apocalipsis, Hooligan, Ramstein
3) India Sioux, Lady Apache, Marcela vs Amapola, La Nazi, Rosa Negra
4) La Mascara, Mictlan, Virus vs Eclipse, Misterioso II, Olimpico
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Heavy Metal, Shocker vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto

I was wondering where Dr. Wagner went.

CMLL (FRI) 03/23 Arena Mexico
1) Mini Olimpico & Ultimo Dragoncito vs Mini Violencia & Pierrothito
2) Leono, Maximo, Sagrado vs Goto, Ohara, Okumura
3) Alex Koslov, Rey Bucanero, Volador Jr. vs Ephesto, Mephisto, Misterioso II
4) Atlantis, Sangre Azteca, Ultimo Guerrero vs Hector Garza, Mr. Aguila, Perro Aguayo Jr.
5) Marco Corelone, Mistico, Shocker vs Black Warrior, Olimpico, Universo 2000

At least the main event builds up the big show, sorta. I was worried about that. This is the show that’s running against WWE in DF.

CMLL (SUN) 03/25 Arena Coliseo
1) Bracito de Oro & Shockercito vs Fire & Sombrita
2) Luna Magica, Marcela, Princesa Blanca vs Medusa, Mima Shimoda, Rosa Negra
3) Metro, Stuka Jr., Tony Rivera vs Jeque, Ohara, Okumura
4) Leono, Mascara Sagrada, Mictlan vs Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila
5) Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone, Mistico vs Hector Garza, Perro Aguayo Jr., Terrible

I wasn’t wondering what happened to Mascara Sagrada. Leono’s so winning tomorrow.

GdR has

CMLL (THU) 03/15 Arena Puebla
1) Fenix & Kirvan b Ares & La Mafia
2) Bobby Jack, Karissman, Siki Osama Jr. b Centella de Oro, SWAT, Tigre Rojo
3) Dark Angel, Lady Apache, Marcela b Amapola, Hiroka, Nazi
4) Eclipse, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca b Coco Blanco, Coco Rojo, Coco Verde
5) Dr. Wagner, Rey Bucanero, Shocker DQ Efesto, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero

Efesto replaced Tarzan Boy, who seems to miss Puebla every other week.

Lots of articles on CMLL’s 03/30 Dos Leyenda press conference
– They officially announced the High Society group that’s been talked about for a few weeks. Shocker, Bucanero, Corelone and Koslov are in the group. They hope to recruit every metrosexual wrestler. Is Maximo the new member?
– Universo and Marco talked trash. Usual experience vs youth.
– This will be the first Ticketmaster show (though they’re not up there yet, as far as I can see.)
– Perro Aguayo Jr. is going to be filming a reality show. I think this is what the documentary bit yesterday was about. He’ll be scaling back his non-Mexico City wrestling while he’s working on it.

Sources: CMLL, La Presna (what’s the deal with Shocker’s shirt?), La Jornada, ESTO (1 2), Ovaciones.

ESTO has a preview of tonight’s card. Nothing special. They’ve also got stories about the VIP show

Tonight’s lineup:

CMLL (FRI) 03/16 Arena Mexico
1) Sombra de Plata & Super Nova vs Polvora & Vaquero
2) Dark Angel, Luna Magica, Sahori vs Hiroka, Mima Shimoda, Princesa Sujei
3) Blue Panther, Felino, Mictlan vs Ephesto, Mephisto, Misterioso Jr.
4) Heavy Metal, Sagrado, Volador Jr. vs Atlantis, Sangre Azteca, Universo 2000
5) Alex Koslov, Marco Corleone, Shocker vs Damian 666, Hector Garza, Hijo del Perro Aguayo

Two weeks out, and the big push looks to be behind the new tecnico unit, which has nothing to do with the big show. They’re not really building anything for 03/30 here (though I’m sure Universo will distract Corelone in the main event or something), almost like someone completely different booked this card and the 03/30.

03/30 Arena Mexico (Two Legends) Card Announced

That bit yesterday? SWERVE.

CMLL (FRI) 03/30 Arena Mexico Lineup
1) Dark Angel, Marcela, Lady Apache vs Hiroka, Mima Shimoda, Amapola
2) Sagrado, Volador Jr., Leono vs Misterioso II, Tarzan Boy, Black Warrior
3) Atlantis, Sangre Azteca, Olimpico vs Mr. Aguila, Damian 666, Halloween
4) Lizmark Jr., Dos Caras Jr., Rey Bucanero vs Averno, Mephisto, Ephesto
5) Mistico, Ultimo Guerrero vs Perro Aguayo Jr., Hector Garza [ri]
6) Marco Corelone vs Universo 2000

boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

day since (as of this PPV)
Marco lost his hair: 105 – last major show
Universo last lost his hair: 378 – same major show last year
Universo defended his title in Mexico City: 689
Universo defended his title in Arena Mexico: 1442 (or 206 weeks or 3.95 years, in an building they run every week)

Not that I’m thinking there’s any way where Marco/Universo is a suitable big show main event. But I could not care about Universo getting his head shaved, which obviously is happening. Maybe last time, you could sell it as the first time ever, but this just feels like the start of Universo dropping his hair each and every year for a payday.

That’s admittedly zany semifinal, but they seem to putting all their eggs in the Marco/Universo basket so far – maybe they’ll push the Ultimo/Mistico teamup in weeks to come? The only other ongoing is the women’s match, and I’m still not sure they’re going to end up doing anything with Apache/Amapola.

How about Black Warrior being in the segunda? With Leono? Leono’s not losing his hair. That has a chance to be a pretty good match. I’m not sold on anything besides it and the semifinal.

At six matches, it’s highly unlikely we’re getting a late addition. It is what it is.
