CMLL 12/15 Results

CMLL (FRI) 12/15 Arena Mexico Results [superluchas, ova]
1) Flash, Super Nova DQ Artillero, Super Comando
2) Dark Angel, Marcela, Sahori b Amapola, Hiroka, Princesa Sujei
3) Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero b Eclipse, LA Park, Olimpico
4) Mistico, Ultimo Dragon, Volador Jr. b Averno, Efesto, Mephisto
5) Atlantis, Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero b Damian 666, Halloween, Hector Garza [CMLL TRIOS]
6) Shocker, Universo 2000 b Kenzo Suzuki, Marco Corleone [hair]

In the final fall of the main, Universo beat Kenzo, Marco beat Universo, but Universo came back to foul Marco, who was then pinned by Shocker for the win. Ovaciones points out the match was much longer than the 5 minutes Kenzo has vowed; Ocampo has it at 22 minutes, longest of the night.

Not much said about the semimain. It was the shortest match of the night. CMLL.com indicates we’re not done with Guerreros/Perros title matches yet. When do the tecnicos get a shot at the belts?

Ovaciones has a challenge being made after the fourth match (the second longest of the evening, at 18 minutes) by the tecnicos, but apparently the wrong belt. CMLL.com clears it up: Volador wants a shot at Averno’s CMLL Middleweight Championship, and will get it next week. That could be quite good. FWIW, CMLL’s preview has Volador a big favorite (and you know, they might be right.)

Amapola hurt her hip in the main event. Tecnicos won the opener when Artillero pulled Super Nova’s mask.

Lineups for next week’s DF shows are up on CMLL.com. Of note, we’re short one match on next Sunday’s Coliseo show (which will actually be on Monday), and the main event of Arena Mexico are the trios champs versus a top tecnico team – Wagner/Dos/Rey – in a non title match. Maybe they will get a shot soon?

12/15: Guadalajara, Neza

Ovaciones has interviews with the major participants on tonight’s Arena Mexico show. Corelone is quoted (which I hope means he’s actually in the country) saying this will be his revenge for that chairshot. Universo feels Corelone and Kenzo’s hair will be a Christmas present. Kenzo vows victory in five minutes! In a Notimex article, Kenzo also says Universo is one of the worst wrestlers in the world. The trios teams talk as well, but don’t say anything.

Tonight’s big shows

The big card tonight is in Ciudad Madero, as AAA wraps up it’s year with it’s Guerrera de Titanes show.

AAA TV (FRI) 12/08 Centro de Convenciones de Ciudad Madero, Tamaulipas
1) Billy Boy, Fabi Apache, Mascarita Sagrada, Pimpinela Escarlata vs Gran Apache, Mini Abismo Negro, Polvo de Estrellas, Rossy Moreno
2) Alebrije, Angel, Elegido, Laredo Kid vs Abismo Negro, Antifaz, Charly Manson, Histeria
3) Crazy Boy, Joe Lider, Psicosis II vs Cuervo, Ozz, Scoria
4) Brazo de Plata vs Intocable vs Alan Stone vs Scorpio Jr. [hair]
5) La Parka Jr., Octagon, Zorro vs ?, ??, ???
6) Cibernetico vs Muerte Cibernetica

Opener should be okay, and it’d be nice if they had a new twist to the story. Second doesn’t have much going on, but it should be Charly Manson’s farewell from the Vipers (unless they’re being brought into the new group.) Third match should set up another atomicos title match down the road, with Espiritu taking Chessman’s place. It’s probably Scorpio Jr. losing his hair, though it sure wouldn’t be a surprise to see Porky go bald again. No word on the mystery people, but logically they’ve got to be Konnan and/or TNA people. Homicide and Samoa Joe are both scheduled to be in Chicago Ridge tonight (so was I, but I think I’d end up sicker), so cross them off the list of possibilities.

I’d think Cibernetico would get the win to cement him as a big tecnico, but then what? Whatever the case, the whole locker room will interfere in the main event.

Arena Mexico’s show is a simple setup to next week’s hair match, and not really an effective one at that.

CMLL (FRI) 12/08 Arena Mexico
1) Danger & Valiente vs Artillero & Super Comando
2) Fabian el Gitano, Mascara Purpura, Metro II vs Arkangel, Loco Max, Nitro
3) Blue Panther, Sagrado, Volador Jr. vs Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila
4) Heavy Metal, Shocker, Universo 2000 vs Alex Koslov, Kenzo Suzuki, LA Park
5) Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero vs Atlantis, Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero

Ovaciones pushes the card as a continuation of the Atlantis/Wagner and Ultimo/Rey feuds. Too bad those aren’t the feuds they’re selling next week. Unless CMLL.com’s tease is meant to be taken seriously and they’d really turn the CMLL TRIOS match into a three way if the tecnicos won here, there’s no reason for them and the Perros not to be conflicting in some way. Even with Corelone not around, if the semi-main is supposed to be the ticket seller next week, why is it the semimain?

Koslov seems higher than usual, as if he’s taking Corelone’s spot. Probably just for the night.

12/01 Arena Mexico Preview

Actually, the big show tonight is the Mistico vs Hijo del Diablo mask match in Tijuana. (So big, I listed it twice.) There’s even a bigger looking CMLL show in Mexico City, by the VIP promotion:

CMLL (FRI) 12/01 Salon 21, DF
1) Leono, Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metalico vs Dr. X, Nitro, Sangre Azteca
2) Dark Angel & India Sioux vs Amapola & Hiroka
3) Dr. Wagner Jr. & Hijo del Santo vs Blue Demon Jr. & LA Park

With Santo in town elsewhere, and Mistico out of town, why were they even considering running a PPV on this day? Maybe they were slow in realizing the schedule.

Anyway, the not-major, not-PPV card is:

CMLL (FRI) 12/01 Arena Mexico
1) Tigre Blanco & Tigre Metalico vs Loco Max & Ramstein
2) Mascara Purpura, Sagrado, Virus vs Alex Koslov, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca
3) Atlantis, Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero vs Damain 666, Halloween, Hector Garza
4) Dr. Wagner Jr., Universo 2000, Volador Jr. vs Averno, Kenzo Suzuki, Mephisto
5) Dos Caras Jr., Rey Bucanero, Shocker vs Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Marco Corelone, Mr. Aguila

The big draw here is Perro’s return to Arena Mexico. This is his first match since losing the trios title match, and I wonder if his return means they’re finally going to pick up the Shocker turn in that match. All the Perros except Terrible (and Blue Demon, sorta) are on the show, and the champs are teaming up against a Perro group in the tercera, so something’s happening. Maybe it’s not a coincidence that none of those guys are yet booked for the 12/15 show – that’d give another needed strong match to the show.

Note that the big build to Shocker/Universo vs Marco/Kenzo has them split into different matches, with Corelone and Universo notably not in the same one. If there’s anything to them having issues, this would seem to back it up.

CMLL 12/15 Lineup

CMLL’s announced the lineup for it’s last major show of the year, on 12/15.

CMLL (FRI) 12/15 Arena Mexico Lineup
1) Super Nova, Flash vs Super Comando, Artillero
2) Dark Angel, Marcela, Sahori vs Hiroka, Princesa Sujei, Amapola
3) Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucnaero, Dos Caras Jr. vs LA Park, Olimpico, Eclipse
4) Mistico, Volador Jr., Ultimo Dragon vs Averno, Mephisto, Efesto
5) Shocker, Universo 2000 vs Marco Corleone, Kenzo Suzuki [hair]

Main’s listed as a double hair match, so Marco and Kenzo are surely going down.

I have no idea who Efesto is supposed to be. I presume a typo, but that’s not close to anything – so a new Assassin? Mistico wouldn’t have been able to work if the show as 12/01, and now he’s in the semi-main. Had to be a factor in the rescheduling.

I’d assume it’s still on PPV. Tickets go on sale next week.

CMLL’s all announced the winners of it’s bodybuilding contest, which took place 11/29. There were 40 participants, and the winners were:

Mini: Pequeno Damian
Women: Dark Angel
Newer: Super Nova
Intermediate: Mictlan
Advanced: Olimpico

All those fruits and vegetables paid off! Mictlan still has yet to actually wrestle in a match (though, if he’s being listed in the intermediate category, he probably has been around a while and wrestled as someone else – the Soberano idea seems to make as much since as anything, since he’s vanished.)

CMLL 11/24, PPV update

CMLL (FRI) 11/24 Arena Mexico Results [notimex]
1) Danger, Valiente b Apocalipsis, Ramstein
2) Ohara, Okumura, Sangre Azteca b Fabian el Gitano, Leono, Virus
3) La Mascara, Sagrado, Volador Jr. b Averno, Mephisto, Misterioso II
4) Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Heavy Metal b Damian 666, Halloween, Terrible
5) Kenzo Suzuki, LA Park, Marco Corleone b Rey Bucanero, Shocker, Universo 2000
Marco got revenge, with the win and causing Universo to bleed from – well, here they say the arm, CMLL.com seems to indicate the face.

Notimex says the Universo/Shocker vs Kenzo/Marco hair match is being moved to 12/15. CMLL is citing the 10 stitches Corelone took to the back of his neck from Universo’s chair shot last Friday as the reason – he’s not cleared to participate in a hair match so soon.

You may note that Corelone is scheduled to compete this Friday and did so last Friday. I guess the idea is he’s still wrestling, but won’t be back to 100% till then, and CMLL wouldn’t sanction a match of such a magnitude unless everyone was at 100%.

Unless I missed it, Accion had no highlights this week.
