CMLL.com posted a note saying Mistico, Perro Jr., Marco and Universo will be involved on the card. Sounds like a tag match to me. This sounds marginally better than straight Marco/Universo.
Tag: Marco Corelone
03/11: Muneco/Coco Rojo, Accion, NJPW
VIP (SAT) 03/10 Salon 21, DF [Notimex]
1) Katito Kung Lee & Voladorcito b Bracito de Plata & Pentagoncito
2) Black Heart, Furia, La Mosca b Caramelo, King Fish, Supernino
3) Lapida & Shu el Guerrero b Axel & Vangelz
4) Mano Negro & Solar I DRAW Black Terry & Negro Navarro
5) Super Muenco b Coco Rojo [mask]
Coco Rojo is Mario Jimenez, 39, of Veracruz. He vows to keep fighting Super Muneco.
Marco Corelone and Universo 2000 will sign contracts on Thursday for a hair/hair match on 03/30. That’s a gigantic step down from Mistico/Perro.
Blue Panther suffered a seven cm tear in a hip muscle, and he’ll be out for three to four weeks.
Ovaciones also says the winner of this year’s Rey de Reyes will be receiving a sword. This sounds like a dangerous idea.

Negro gets a title shot against Tiger Mask IV next week. He’ll fair no better.
Accion:
CMLL: Marco vs Universo. Univeros seemed fired up here, and we get the DQ beating. The Capos hold Marco and foul him directly in front of the ref, and they’re angry about it. I dunno.
AAA: Latin/Parka/Alebrije/Laredo vs Abismo/Antifaz/Histera/Niebla from Orizaba Spots spots, with Laredo’s ringpost tope con giro being the big spot, and Latin winning clean with a figure four.
03/09: Demon, Santo, Guerrero, Queretaro, Yucatan, Mexico preview
Hispanic PR Wire
Yea, today feels like a good day to lead with a Blue Demon Jr. story. He’s going to be in Miami on Sunday, “where he will have three exhibition matches” to promote the energy drink. Maybe this is just a one off promotion, but that sorta sounds like the thing you’d do to film a commercial.
Meanwhile, El Hijo del Santo appeared at a press conference to raise awareness about the destruction of Pacific Ocean coastline. You’d think this would be Atlantis’ gig. (planetsave)
YouTube? Please please please.
Hector Guerrero debuted in TNA last night, as a Spanish language announcer (and some unspecified backstage duties.) According to the Observer, there’s an agreement within TNA to specificly NOT do angles with Hector revolving around Eddie.

CMLL (FRI) 03/09 Arena Mexico
1) Molotov & Valiente vs Apocalipsis & Ramstein
2) Leono, Mictlan, Virus vs Dr. X, Ohara, Shigeo Okumura
3) Blue Panther, La Máscara, Máximo vs Ephesto, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca
4) Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr., Volador Jr. vs Atlantis, OlÃmpico, Último Guerrero
5) Alex Koslov, MÃstico, Rey Bucanero vs Averno, Black Warrior, Mephisto
6) Marco Corelone vs Universo 2000
– Marco wants a title shot, while Universo has been calling him an exotico all week
– Mistico’s gotta face two of his rivals, Averno and Black Warrior
I suspect Marco will win, and perhaps the ex-WWE superstar will compete for the title the same week WWE hits town (assuming they’re moving Mistico/Perro.) What a coincidence.
Domba @ El Martiente has compiled a list of luchadors on mySpace, trying to figure which ones are authentic.
03/05: Coliseo, IWRG, Monterrey, Magazines
CMLL
Ovaciones dismisses the idea of Mistico going to WWE, saying he’s locked into a contract with CMLL. I’m glad that’s over. (not) It is nice people are daring to mention it. Ovaciones actual point here is suggesting that major companies respect each other’s contracts, which they should but – it’s the WWE, they don’t.
CMLL (SUN) 03/04 Arena Coliseo [cmll, ova]
1) Mini Olimpico & Shockercito b Fire & Sombrita
2) Fabian el Gitano, Starman, Tony Rivera b Apocalipsis, Hooligan, Ramstein
3) Leono, Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metalico b Hijo de Pierroth, Mogur, Mr. Mexico
4) Olimpico, Pierroth, Universo 2000 b Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr., Marco Corleone
5) Mistico, Shocker, Volador Jr. b Averno, Black Warrior, Mephisto
Universo fouled Marco to pick up the win that match. Befor the tercera, Mogur said he’d only agree to a hair match with Leono if Leono beat him clean – so Leono did.
IWRG (SUN) 03/04 Arena Naucalpan [ova]
1) Aguila Oriental & Celestial b Extrano & Mr. Randal
2) Airon Boy & Antaris b Sadico & Vampiro Metalico
3) Kai, King Boy, Yamato b Kraneo, Peligro, Sadico
4) Bestia Salvaje, Black Terry, Veneno b Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro, Suicida
5) El Dandy DQ Villano IV
IV replaced III in the main event. Dandy claims Villano III is a coward. Rudos left the tecnicos(/IWRG Trios champs) bloody in the semimain.
Hoy Laredo hypes up a match between Konan Big and Mario Bezares tonight in Arena Cuartro Caminos.
Torreon’s Box Y Lucha Comission is shutting down shows starting next weekend if everyone doesn’t get licensed. They’re allowing people to license at the arena on Monday and Thursday, but after that, everyone’s in trouble. (El Siglo de Torreon) Someone at this paper should maybe ask a promoter or a wrestler about this at some point – why aren’t they licensed? If the commission is a powerless group that just rants to the newspaper, that’s a story too.
indy (SUN) 03/04 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [rfc]
1) La Pulga & Ricochet b La Furia & Payaso Loco
2) Corrico, Gardenia, Rosa Salvaje b Armageddon, Burrito, Rey Apostol
3) Difunto I & Difunto II b Corazon Adicto & Sky and Androide & Rey Sagitario
4) Hijo de Espanto II, Pancho Tequila, Potro Jr. b Black Dragon, El Original, Golden Boy
5) Konnan Big b Axxel, Hijo de Solitario, Hijo de Anibal [FILL MIDDLE]
As I read it, Axxel filled in for Rayo de Jalisco Jr., who missing absence when he was due to lose a title, huh. Axxel was FILL Middleweight Champion, who knew? Konnan Big picks up the title, so he’s been FILL Heavyweight, Light Heavyweight, and Middleweight champion over a short time, and in that order. Did Monterrey put in Wellness Program?
AAA (SUN) 03/04 Plaza de Toros La Esperanza [marcomejia2, rfc]
1) Rey Imagen & Virutal X b Euforia & Iron

6) Brazo de Plata, Chessman, Octagon b Fuerza Guerrera, Hator, Nicho
Magazines
– Super Luchas 202 has Super Crazy picking up Mistico at the airport. Question for Mr. Ocampo: why do you post more of your magazine on Box Y Lucha’s forum than your own site? Super Luchas has your IWA-MS guys in AAA pictures, for those looking.
– Luchas 2000 358 tease mask vs hair. They’re also teasing Lizmark Jr. rudo for what seems like the third or fourth time in the last year. Put aside that Ultimo could do a lot better than Lizmark Jr. – Julio Cesar Rivera would seem to be plugged in about these things, but this one has gotten stuck. Lucha 2000 Special 19 has moves moves moves.
I’ve figured out why Robert is getting different tag team results than I am – he’s reading a different recap (el martiente) than I am (Satanico’s Mansion.) One recap says Zumbido caused a double pin (which can’t be anything but a 1 point each draw), one recap says clean pin for Zumbido. Double pins are easy to miss if you’re not at the right angle or looking for ’em, so I tend to believe it’s a draw, but I’ll wait for AAA to confirm.

Not much today, so let’s just roll out the lineups:
CMLL (FRI) 03/02 Arena Mexico
1) Danger & Trueno vs Hooligan & Ramstein
2) Leono, Metro II, Virus vs Loco Max, Nitro, Okumura
3) Felino, Sagrado, Ultimo Dragon vs Eclipse, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca
4) Heavy Metal, La Mascara, Volador Jr. vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
5) Alex Koslov, Marco Corleone, Rey Bucanero vs Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Universo 2000
6) Perro Aguayo Jr. vs Mistico
CMLL Previews
– La Presna
– ESTO
– the Notimex one hasn’t turned up yet
– Ovaciones has one as well.
There’s not much new about Perro vs Mistico at this point. Marco is looking for a title shot against Universo still.
The hope is we find out a bit more about what’s going on with Mistico. We do know he made it to his tryout, before the WWE show. Mistico worked with Dean Malenko, and got postive reviews. Dave Meltzer, on Figure Four Daily, belived that even if Mistico signed, he wouldn’t start soon, and he wouldn’t appear on WWE TV for longer – they’d have him working off TV for a while, or even in one of their developmental groups. It was Meltzer’s guess that Mistico would go, but that was based on no inside information, just the idea of a 25 year old kid being wowed by a big crowd and better treatment than he’s getting in WWE.
If Perro/Mistico is blown off tonight, then I think he’s going. But since he doesn’t have to go right this second, they could continue out this feud to the 03/23 show even if he was going, so I think it’s much more likely that this reminds unclear for a bit while.
AAA tapes tomorrow.
ESTO also has an interview with Universo 2000. Universo has no plans to retire – he makes it a rule not to plan anything more than two months into the future – because people who retire seem to keep wrestling anyway.
Felino, Blue Panther, and Dos Caras Jr. spoke at a school children about the dangers of drugs. There’s no follow up comment I can make here that will not eventually get me killed, so let’s move on. Ovaciones has a short blurb about Rey and Atlantis talking to people about TB as well.
Quinta Estacion explains why they wanted Mistico in a video – lucha fans don’t normally listen to much Pop music, so they thought if they partnered with the top lucha libre star, they’d get attention from a whole new market. (And I’m sure Mistico and/or his people were thinking the same thing the other way.)
El Martiente’s wrestler of the month is Dark Angel
02/23: Mexico, IWRG, Lineups, GdR
CMLL (FRI) 02/23 Arena Mexico [ova, superluchas, notimex]
1) Shockercito & Tzuki b Fire & Pierrothito
2) Amapola, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda b Dark Angel, India Sioux, Lady Apache
3) Averno, Mephisto, Sangre Azteca b Blue Panther, La Mascara, Maximo
4) Alex Koslov, Marco Corleone, Rey Bucanero DQ Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Universo 2000
5) Hector Garza, Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mr. Aguila b Lizmark Jr., Mistico, Volador Jr.
Misitico dove off the stage to start the main event, but Ocampo’s ecap makes it sound like he was pretty much on his own for the first two falls. Being Mistico, he won the second one. His partners got pinned in the third, not Mistico, and Mistico challenged Perro to a stips match, but they always do that.
Alex wore a sombero when he did his hat dance kicks. Marco tried to end Universo with a Tombstone once again, but the refs broke it up again, and Universo fouled him again. Ocampo suggests Marco could take over as lead tecnico should Mistico go to WWE; I like Marco too, but that seems a bit hopeful.
Amapola beat Lady Apache, so we’re heading back in that direction again – but women aren’t on any of the DF cards next week.
IWRG (THU) 02/22 Arena Naucalpan
1) Black Stone b Aguila Oriental
2) Yamato & Kai b Trauma I & Trauma II
3) Avisman, Camorra, Supremo Jr. b Bacteria, Freelnace, Kid Tiger
4) Dr. Cerebro, Heavy Metal, Trauma I DQ Kaz Hayashi, Nosawa, Pierroth
5) Suicida L Cerebro Negro, Electroshock, Villano III, El Dandy, Hijo del Diablo, Fantasma de la Opera, Bestia Salvaje [hair]
The lineup Ovaciones had on Thursday was completely wrong for the undercard – it was as IWRG initially had listed, with some subs. Black Pentagon didn’t lose his title in the main event because Black Pentagon wasn’t there – Cerebro Negro filled in for him, and took his ally Suicida’s hair. Kai and Yamato are trainees from whichever promotion Hayashi’s coming from.
Next week’s posted lineups:
CMLL (MON) 02/26 Arena Puebla
1) SWAT, the Tigre, Zigma vs Fuerza Chicana, Murcielago, Siki Ozama
2) Asturiano, Blue Center, Ultimo Dragoncito vs Mini Damian, Mini Halloween, Mini Mr. Aguila
3) Maximo, Metro II, Sagrado vs Emilio Charles Jr., Ohara, Okumura
4) Alex Koslov, Ultimo Dragon, Volador Jr. vs Efesto, Mephisto, Terrible
5) Averno vs Mistico [CMLL MIDDLE]
They did the main event in Queretaro last week, and Averno actually wins these matches. It’s all very odd.
CMLL (FRI) 03/02 Arena Mexico
1) Danger & Trueno vs Hooligan & Ramstein
2) Leono, Metro II, Virus vs Loco Max, Nitro, Okumura
3) Felino, Sagrado, Ultimo Dragon vs Eclipse, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca
4) Heavy Metal, La Mascara, Mistico vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
5) Alex Koslov, Marco Corleone, Rey Bucanero vs Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Universo 2000
They’re going to tease Mistico/Averno this week.
CMLL (TUE) 02/27 Arena Coliseo
1) Bracito de Oro & Mini Olimpico vs Mini Violencia & Pierrothito
2) Moltov, Sensei, Sombra de Plata vs Polvora, Vaquero, Zayco
3) Brillante, Stuka Jr., Valiente vs Apocalipsis, Arkangel, Dr. X
4) Mictlan, Sagrado, Texano Jr. vs Ephesto, Misterioso II, Okumura
5) Dos Caras Jr., Heavy Metal, Lizmark Jr. vs Atlantis, Black Warrior, Pierroth
Who’s Brillante? There’s an Arena Xalapa undercarder by that name, so he’s probably a Skayde trainee. Sounds good to me.
CMLL (SUN) 03/04 Arena Coliseo
1) Mini Olimpico & Shockercito vs Fire & Sombrita
2) Fabian el Gitano, Starman, Tony Rivera vs Apocalipsis, Hooligan, Ramstein
3) Leono, Tigre Blanco, TIgre Metalico vs Hijo de Pierroth, Mogur, Mr. Mexico
4) Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr., Marco Corleone vs Olimpico, Pierroth, Universo 2000
5) Mistico, Shocker, Volador Jr. vs Averno, Black Warrior, Mephisto
That’s quite the semimain.
GdR has
unmasked: Kempo Kid
02/18 Coliseo: Arkangel, Mogur, Nitro vs Leono, Texano Jr., Virus
02/08 Mexico: Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto b Blue Panther, Lizmark Jr., Satanico
Well, that’s strange, but good (I think). They didn’t repeat that segunda here – will/did they repeat it on FSE? They also have new wacky fall graphics, which are amusing at least the first time.
