CMLL (MON) 07/08/2013 Arena Puebla [El Popular (cover), Porra Fresa]
1) Blue Center & Espanto Jr. b Asturiano & Fresbee
Rudos took 1/3.
2) Stigma b Espíritu Maligno, Leono, Pegasso, Siki Ozama Jr., Skándalo, Disturbio, Robin, Tigre Rojo Jr., Inquisidor
Eliminations: Inquisidor (Pegasso), Tigre (Disturbio), Robin (Skandalo Driver), Disturbio (Leono), Skandalo (Stigma), Osama (Leono), Pegasso (Espiritu), Leono (Espiritu), Espiritu (DQ when Stigma had Espiritu beat and Skandalo broke the pin.) Everyone brawled post match to set up the cage match next week.
3) Bushiroad, Diamante, Tritón b Cancerbero, Raziel, Virus
Tecnicos took 1/3.
4) Dragón Rojo Jr., Pólvora, Rey Escorpión b La Máscara, Stuka Jr., Titán
Rudos took 2/3.
5) Mr. Niebla, Pierroth, Último Guerrero DQ Atlantis, Diamante Azul, Shocker
Tecnicos took 2/3. UG fouled Azul for the DQ.

So Stigma didn’t actually get the pinfall on Espiritu after all. Hmmm.

Ultimo Guerrero vs Diamante Azul are matched up next week too, so this is the start of a thrilling feud.

Virus kept the CMLL Super Lightweight Championship over San Luis Potosi’s Bogar in Arena Coliseo San Luis Potosi this past Sunday. Virus took the last two falls, and fans threw money in the ring after the match.

AAA’s announced a return to Gimansio Juan de la Barrera on 08/02 for a TV taping. No lineup. Best guess is it airs 08/10 but we’re groping in the dark to figure out AAA’s TV schedule right now. Announced taping schedule right now is 07/15 in Tehuacan, 07/19 Xalapa, this one on 08/02 and then a yet to be announced one 08/16 in Queretaro. Either the DF taping is 2 shows, or there’s another taping to be announced around 08/09. This is a week after the next TxT show in Gimnasio Juan de la Barrera, in case you want to know what Santo will blame poor attendance on.

AAA has also added a profile for a Mascara Sagrada USA. The picture appears to be of the original Mascara Sagrada and the profile suggests it’s that guy. That seems very unlikely, since the original Sagrada and AAA have long battled over who had rights to the name and AAA’s had other people replace him. Maybe AAA locked down a variation of the name? It’s been a long time since that character really meant anything, but AAA likes to protect it’s creations.

Averno says beating Titan was an easy win. That recap says the match had “more than 30 minutes of fighting.” SKEPTICAL.

Lineups

DTU (SAT) 07/13/2013 Autolavado VM, Tulancingo, Hidalgo
1) Flyer vs Sope Fox, Alexis X, JC MaClean
2) Artikus & Pequeno Cobra vs Lanzeloth & Rocky Lobo and Miedo Extremo & Sacristan
3) Drastik Boy, Hacker, Kaleth vs Black Fire, Hormiga, Jhonky
4) Cíclope, Paranoiko, Slayer Pack vs Ángel o Demonio, Big Memo, Ovett

DTU show this weekend building off Los Porros running in last weekend.

IWRG (SUN) 07/14/2013 Arena Naucalpan
1) Galaxie & Seiya vs Araña de Plata & Fulgore II
2) Astro Rey Jr., Golden Magic, Saruman vs Fulgor I, Imposible, Power Bull
3) Centvrión, Dinamic Black, Veneno vs Decnnis, Oficial 911, Scorpio Jr.
4) Dr. Cerebro, Emo Extreme, Toscano vs Fuerza Guerrera, Heddi Karaoui, X-Fly
5) Eterno & Súper Nova vs Trauma I & Trauma II

Main event will be a fight. Traumas may be outnumbered, since X-Fly is around and Negro Navarro (and Acero?) are not, but they’re the Traumas so it’ll be fine.

Emo Extreme, semimain tecnico, is random even for IWRG. Don’t confuse a Power Bull with a Golden Bull, totally different bulls.

CMLL (TUE) 07/16/2013 Arena Mexico
1) Camaleón & Génesis vs Akuma & Camorra
2) Hombre Bala Jr., Molotov, Súper Halcón Jr. vs Guerrero Negro Jr., Hijo del Signo, Nosferatu
3) Bushiroad vs Hooligan [lightning]
4) Lluvia, Luna Mágica, Silueta vs La Comandante, La Vaquerita, Zeuxis
5) Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Máscara Dorada vs Morphosis, Namajague, Olímpico
6) Máximo, Rush, Thunder vs Kráneo, Mr. Niebla, Psicosis

Semimain looks like the best match on the card. Bushi/Hooligan will be fun too, though only the people in the building will get to see it. Dorada/Namajague and Thunder/Niebla are carrying on from last week; one of those sounds great and the other sounds great for very different reasons.

Metalico seems to have gone missing. Maybe laws were passed to block further Signo/Metalico matches, but they got the wrong guy.

CMLL (TUE) 07/16/2013 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Metatrón & Smaker vs Espectrum & Évola
2) Black Metal, Esfinge, Magnus vs Bárbaro Cavernario, Cancerbero, Raziel
3) Fuego, Stuka Jr., Tritón vs Dragón Rojo Jr., Pólvora, Rey Escorpión
4) Atlantis, Blue Panther, Shocker vs Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero, Tiger
5) Mistico vs Volador Jr.

Main event is a rematch from an Arena Mexico show. It could’ve be a bigger deal, since this is Mistico’s hometown arena (or at least his home state arena), but CMLL seems to have stripped the Guadalajara-ness of Mistico La Nueva Era along with everything else.

CMLL (FRI) 07/19/2013 Arena Mexico
***Infierno en el Ring, 2013***
1) Dalis la Caribeña, Goya Kong, Marcela vs Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sugheit, Tiffany
2) La Máscara, Stuka Jr., Titán vs Ephesto, Mephisto, Niebla Roja
3) Atlantis, Diamante Azul, Thunder vs Felino, Mr. Niebla, Pierroth
4) Máscara Dorada, Mistico, Valiente vs Euforia, Último Guerrero, Volador Jr.
5) Shocker vs Máximo, Rush, Brazo de Plata, Blue Panther, Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero, Mr. Águila, Averno, Rey Escorpión [cage, hair, mask]

The Estetas del Aire do team on a Friday against a good, but no significant match on this card besides the cage match. That tercera looks like a struggle, second and fourth look good. Vangelis can win En Busca de un Idolo and would still miss this card unless they add a lightning match.

06/18: Mexico, Monterrey, Campeche

CMLL (SUN) 06/17 Arena Mexico [superluchas, ovaciones]
1) Mini Damian 666 & Mini Halloween b Bracito de Oro & Tzuki
2) Lady Apache, Marcela, Sahori b La Seductora, Medussa, Rosa Negra
3) La Mascara, Mictlan, Volador Jr. b Euforia, Nosferatu, Satanico
4) Amapola b Diana La Cazadora [hair]
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Heavy Metal, Shocker b Damian 666, Halloween, Terrible
6) Mistico & Negro Casas b Averno & Mephisto [CMLL TAG]

In the main event, Negro Casas used the La Mistica and Mistico won with the casita. Superluchas has it at 27 minutes. Hair match went about 14. Diana’s wants a rematch in Monterrey. Lady Apache & Marcela replaced India Sioux & Dark Angel in the women’s trio.

Ovaciones says around 5,000 attendance, citing rain and Mexico’s soccer team playing a Gold Cup game. Amapola vs Diana was an interesting feud to me, but I didn’t expect it to be a draw any more than Leono/Mogur was a draw. Maybe this is one time blip, but it comes off to me as if you can’t just throw Mistico out there in what everyone knows will be a great match (and by all accounts, it was) and expect to pop a big house, especially when he’s been in main events and big matches plenty in that building lately. If this was a show people were really into, they probably can skip a game versus Costa Rica, but it was a feud with a complete lack of recent activity (and a sub feud only built up on the B-Show, with a build that only makes sense after the fact.)

FWIW, next Mexico Gold Cup game is on Thursday, and the final (likely between US and Mexico – I’m thinking Guadeloupe’s run of a lifetime is about over) is next Sunday.

Add a July 28th taping in Tlaxaca to the upcoming AAA show list. No lineup is announced.

AAA (SUN) 06/17 Arena Coliseo Monterrey
1) Aguila Extrema & Arquero b Invasor & Mercurio
2) Arquero & Karis b Ramses & Rey Infernal
3) Estrellita b Tiffany, Sexi Star
4) Aventurero, Hator, Monje Negro Jr., Zumbido b El Brazo, Orus, Pimpinela, the Mummy
5) Abismo Negro, Antifaz, Histeria b Brazo de Plata, Charly Manson, Elegido

CMLL (SAT) 06/16 Ciudad del Carmen Campeche [El Gris @ el maritente]

3) Amapola & Rebelde b Marcela & Sahori
4) Mascara Sagrada b Angel de la Muerte [hair]

Magazines
– Lucha 2000 #373 has Espectro Jr. signing the mask match challenge with Blue Demon Jr. in blood.
– Super Luchas #217 has the death of Vince McMahon. (I will resist the urge to mock Berwyn.)
– Super Luchas Grafico #23 has Mistico and Dave Meltzer.

Lizmark, Huracan Ramires Jr., La Parkita were in Michoacan, talking about lucha libre as their anti-drug.

CMLL (TUE) 06/19 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Estrella de Jalisco vs Fraile de la Muerte
2) Carlo Roggi vs Rey Trueno
3) Metatron vs Depredador
4) Flash vs Malefico
5) Oro II vs Jeque
6) Fabian el Gitano & Hijo del Faraon vs Ephesto & Texano Jr.
7) Rey Bucanero & Shocker vs Atlantis & Olimpico

CMLL (FRI) 06/21 Auditoio Municipal Torreon [El Siglo de Torreon]
1) Chamuco Trevino, Espanto V, Sexy Francis vs Emperador Azteca, Hijo del Soberano, Sexy Piscis
2) Princesa Blanca & Sahori vs La Nazi & Medusa
3) Sangre Azteca & Silver King vs Alex Koslov & Felino

This is a free show. They’re doing a match between radio show personalities (I’ve skipped it here), so I’m guessing the station is subsudizing the show.

VIP NBLLM (SAT) 06/23 Roots Magic Club [Tiger Marino]
1) Angel de los Ninos, Polaris, Ultrasonic vs Flechador, Halcon Guerrero, Urco
2) Leon Guerrero, Terry 2000, Turbo vs Black Heart, La Furia, La Mosca

01/18: IWRG, Box Y Lucha

CMLL

IWRG (SUN) 01/14 Arena Naucalpan Results
1) Trauma I, Trauma II b Golem, Puma King
2) Bacteria, Freelance, Turbo b Avisman, Black Terry, Black Thunder
3) Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro, Suicida DQ El Hijo del Diablo, Fantasma de la Ópera, Veneno
4) Camorra, Canek, Mascara Ano 2000 b Dos Caras, Negro Navarro, Sagrado
5) Electroshock b Mascara Sagrada [1, IWRG IC HEAVY]

Electro gets his title shot versus Canek on 02/04; I’m shocked they’ve announced the date. Trios champs lost the tercera when Fantasma piledrove Suicida, which will do it to you every time.

Ovaciones’ preview of IWRG’s Sunday card says the Corp/tecnicos atomicos has been changed to a trios match for the belts.

AAA’s redesigned their site. It’s still not great, but it’s better than a few hours ago when they had some completely unreadable buttons up. They didn’t actually add much of new content.

Box Y Lucha has posted more articles from it’s latest edition
– Cibernetico says the people like them because he’s real, and he’s says what they want to say, to anyone. Ciber echos the “Latin Lover’s forgotten his people” and drops Kawaghi’s name.
– The Villanos share their memories of Villano I. Villano III’s stories all are about winning street fights against thugs with superior numbers.
– India Sioux talks about her start in lucha libre. She’s going be in Japan from 01/23 to 01/30 (or 02/01 by the time she’s back). CMLL.com says Marcela and Hiroka are going as well.
– Pirata Morgan reminds us that the eye patch is not a work, he really has one eye. But he also explains he’s strengthened that one eye so much, he has perfect peripheral vision. That’s why he’s the best in the world.
– Pirata Morgan has a hot daughter, which just boggles my mind. Perla Negra is training (apparently while not wearing much if you believe these pictures), but not yet wrestling.
– Perro Aguayo Jr. tells everyone who think the Perros are cooling off to shut up. Okay. (Guess they’re cooling off.)
– Rambo talks about the saddest day in his life; the day his father died.
– Arena Queretaro celebrates 24 years of lucha libre.

Villano III chats with Box Y Lucha on 01/23 at 2:00pm.

In today’s Ovaciones, Coco Rojo and Super Muneco hype up this weekend’s VIP show by talking about having a mask match…sometime later. For now, it’ just a singles match.

WWE pushed it’s Mexico tour back a week.

03/22 (THU) Mexico City
03/23 (FRI) Mexico City
03/24 (SAT) Chihuahua (not Tijuana)
03/25 (SUN) Monterrey

…so CMLL is totally running the week before. I wonder what they’ll do in a Arena Coliseo Monterrey that week.

Tickets range between $23 up to $183 US. I think Chris Benoit is the biggest lucha libre name value draw included in the list of people on this tour (subject to change); Chavo’s there too, but he hasn’t had much of a Mexican career. They’re going after a different fanbase, so maybe that’ll be fine, but it didn’t seem like things were strong enough last time to do two shows in the same city. Rey Mysterio is not listed as participating at this time.

Sunday is Brazo de Plata’s 30 year anniversary of starting his lucha libre career.

11/20 Teleton Arena Mexico Results

thecubsfan 8 Comments

CMLL (MON) 11/20 Arena Mexico Results
1) Super Muenco, Super Pinocho, Super Raton b Hombre Sin Nombre, Loco Max, Sangre Azteca
2) Virus CO Mascara Purpura
3) Dos Caras Jr., Mascara Sagrada, Shocker b Blue Demon Jr., Hector Garza, LA Park
4) Blue Panther, Canek, Super Parka b Negro Navarro, Signo, Texano Jr.
5) Villano III, Villano IV, Villano V b Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila
6) Pierroth, Ultimo Guerrero, Universo 2000 b Electroshock, Satanico, Silver King

I’ve read three reports
– Ovaciones, which says the show was super and drew 10,000
– poster Cesar on Box Y Lucha, who did not like the wrestling at all and found the show far poorly executed than usual
– poster Alvin on El Martiente, who was somewhere in the middle (but definitely on the thumbs up side.)

I don’t know why I didn’t notice this earlier, but it’s funny that in Electroshock’s big return to Arena Mexico, he’s teaming with Silver King and facing Ultimo Guerrero. Last time in Arena Mexico, as part of his one month stint, he was in a trios match teaming with Bronco (Silver King) and facing the Guerreros (including Ultimo), Electro looked bad, the crowd turned on the tecnicos about halfway in the match and there was a rumor the Guerreros had sabotaged Electro’s debut on purpose. This time, Electro got booed just for being there and the crowd never let up on him – if he’s going to be around (and he probably shouldn’t be), they’re going to have to turn him rudo immediately.

At least Electro was there. Groon was MIA. After the second match, they had representatives of each match come out and draw a number to determine the order for the rest of the show (which leads into another issue I’ll get to in a moment.) By incredible luck, Groon’s match happened to be moved to the main event. Combine that with the previously unannounced Virus/Mascara Purpura match (which was said not to be good), and Cesar’s mentioning of long breaks between matches, and it seems like they were stalling for Groon to get to the building. He never did, so either he couldn’t get from wherever else he was working that day in time, or perhaps he was holding CMLL up for more money (it’d fit his rep), but I can’t think missing a CMLL Arena Mexico main event is going to be good for your career. (Of course, they still employ Lizmark Jr., so who really knows.)

In connection with the order drawing, CMLL hyped up that they’d award a trofeo to the best winning trio in the top four matches, and they’d decide the best by bringing them all into the ring at the end of the show, and letting the fans cheer for who they want. Apparently, none of the wrestlers were listening or cared, because everyone else had left by the time was the main event was over. The officials handed the trofeo to the rudos and got out of there. Whoever was in charge of running the show did not have a good night.

Sounds like Mascara Sagrada and Canek were the worst guys on the show, though people weren’t high on the Villanos, El Signo and others on the show, including Satanico in the main event. Blue Panther and Negro Navarro did a lot mat sequence in the first fall, which Ovaciones thought was the greatest thing ever, but Cesar thought was quite bad. Super Parka wore his mask for the whole match, which is something they’ve had people do on legends shows, but never in Arena Mexico before.

Mr. Aguila tried Halloween’s ring announcing spot for the Perros and apparently didn’t learn enough English during his WWE stint – that’s the one thing I want to see from this show.

The 10,000 attendance number is probably not too far off – Monday was a holiday, so they drew a big crowd and may have made some money for the Teleton. I don’t believe this was successful enough to change future plans, but I do believe they’d opt to do it again next year rather than do a show with AAA.

Updated 02/24 Congress Lineup

thecubsfan 1 Comment

Raul Cruz has an updated lineup. Yay Raul.

ELL-MEX (SUN) 02/24 Congress Chicago Lineup
1) Siulenta Azul vs ?
2) Lupillo & Mini Charlie Manson vs Guerrerito del Futuro & Tyme Page
3) SWAT Kat vs Coco Negro [no holds barred]
4) Pantera, Atomo, Principe Unlimted vs Mascara de Jade, Lucifer, ??
5) Mil Mascaras & Mascara Sagrada vs Villano III & Rey Misterio Sr.

Doors open at 6.

Felino is off, due to a Japan tour – that’s the same day as the scheduled NJPW Bangladesh shows and there was some talk about CMLL guys working on those shows, but those shows may be off now, so – I dunno. Could mean any number of things.

The SWAT Kat/Coco Negro follows up the same match from months ago, right? And sorta of the trios from the last run. I kinda would have to be really bored and/or in the city already to go to show. The semimain could be real fun with those tecnicos and other rudos, but I don’t know if it’s a good combo, and if you’re looking for a exciting match, you shouldn’t look at the main event.

Next Congress Show

thecubsfan

According to luchafan on CPW (worthwhile read just for the debate about Pantera – maybe it’s one of the Tigres we’re confused with here?), the next Congress show is scheduled for 02/24. I dare not guess what time the show might start – their website hasn’t updated with it yet.

Main is still Mil Mascaras, Mascara Sagrada, Felino vs Pantera, Villano III, Rey Mysterio Sr. (or other some combination). It’s a Friday night and I’m not completely ruling out going because of it, but this’ll be the Mil show (and be billed as “Mil’s last trip to Chicago!”), and last time I saw Mil (in Aurora), he was wrestling exactly how you’d expect a 60+ year old luchador who only needs to live off his name would wrestle. Felino can go and did go when I saw him in Aurora and I think there could be some fun sequences here, but it’s not enough to get me going.

I think the show will draw pretty good, because it’s Mil first show in Congress (I think – nagging suspicion I’m forgetting something) and he’s still a Name, but because I’m a fan of what I’m a fan of, I’d be much more hyped about any random combination of six CMLL undercarders than this.

(this is post 4 on the day, by the way. We may hit six or seven!)
