CMLL (SUN) 08/05 Arena Coliseo
1) Vaquero & Zayco b Angel Azteca Jr. & Molotov
2) Euforia, Nosferatu, Skandalo b Neutron, Super Nova, Valiente
3) Marcela b Amapola [MEX WOMEN]
4) Heavy Metal, La Mascara, Maximo b Eclipse, Emilio Charles Jr., Satanico
5) Virus b Tony Rivera [hair]
6) Atlantis, Olimpico, Toscano b Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Volador Jr.

Mistico appeared on the show, like he plans for all the shows he will miss (lot of resting he’s going to get in that way), explaining his injury. Dr. Wagner replaced him, which Ovaciones says was “reason why the fight was much better.” I guess Mistico needs to wave at the crowd more while he’s supposed to be selling. When the referee cut off Wagner from attacking Atlantis (when he was down and not moving), Wagner hit the ref and that’s your DQ.

At last report (superluchas), Atlantis was listed as stable in hospital, but they’re still doing brain work.

Both singles matches were said to be good and had money thrown in.

CMLL (WED) 08/01 Gimnasio Marcelino Gonzalez [El Sol de Zacatecas]
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., LA Park, Negro Casas b Eclipse, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero
6) Rafaga DQ Super Brazo [hair]

Rafaga is a random local guy. In the third fall, the referee turned rudo to help Super Brazo, until Super Brazo accidentally punched him. Brazo rolled up Rafaga, but it was a DQ. If you’re going to lose your hair three times a year, can’t you at least lose your hair clean? Credibility saving finishes only work if you have crediblity to begin with.

Last Wednesday (before the last show), Dr. Wagner Jr. visited the Zacatecano Sports Hall of Fame, where his father was enshrined earlier this year. He had been unable to been part of Dr. Wagner Sr.’s inauguration.

Perro Aguayo Jr. is interviewed about his return in La Jornada. Notable quote (translated): “It is our obligation to offer an event to the fans that is of quality – real, not a farce.”

Super Luchas #224 has the return of Perro and the injury of Mistico.

Kato Kung Lee @ El Martinete provides luchadors singing and dancing. He is a great man for posting this. I don’t have sound working on this computer, but the video looks like everything I could hope for.

Updated 08/05 Coliseo card

Matches were added exactly as earlier noted, with some other lineup shuffling. I imagine there’s one person who sketches out the Coliseo stuff, puts together a tentative list, and then has to reconfigure everything when the person in charge of loaning people out for spot shows tells him which undercarders have conflicting (and higher revenue) gigs that weekend.

CMLL (SUN) 08/05 Arena Coliseo

3) Marcela vs Amapola [MEX WOMEN]
4) Heavy Metal, La Mascara, Maximo vs Eclipse, Emilio Charles Jr., Satanico
5) Tony Rivera vs Virus [hair]
6) Dos Caras Jr., Mistico, Volador Jr. vs Atlantis, Olimpico, Toscano

It looks like the build to title match will air on the main show, and the title match itself will air on a satellite show? That makes no sense – while I’d hope it’d show up on my TV because it’s The Best Women’s Match Possible, I figure it’ll end up on the main show. Since rudas never win (Diana’s loss excepted), I’m leaning towards Marcela keeping the belt here, though I’m rooting the other way.

I think Virus actually has a chance of keeping his hair, which would’ve been pretty inconceivable a few years ago. I don’t actually see the point of having Tony Rivera get yet another hair win when it’s been years since they’ve done anything while Virus actually has a recent turn and a slight push, but Virus did win the last match.

Teasing me with a trio of Averno, Mephisto and Sangre and pulling it is not very nice.

There’s CMLL and WWE shows tonight in Mexico City, and AAA tapes it’s last show before TripleMania in Puebla.

ESTO recaps the whole Wagner/Mistico feud (one week.) Notimex doesn’t have much to say either.

Ovaciones and ESTO says Toscano, Heavy Metal, Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Sagrado, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Terrible, and Rey Bucanero taped an episode of El Rival Mas Debil (The Weakest Link) for TV Azteca. Ovaciones goes onto a whole digression about Pierroth no-showing (maybe that’s why MY2K Jr. is on there) claiming to be in a car accident but was later seen around Arena Mexico and how these no-shows reflect bad on CMLL (which is true, but I’d start with complaining about the wrestling events they miss – see GDL results – before the TV cameos.)

The real story is – they still have The Weakest Link in Mexico? That seems so long ago. I think I saw a rerun of a show the other where someone was making a (horrible) reference to it and it seemed so dated, and it’s still on it Mexico, huh. In England and France too – I just remember it seemingly lasting six weeks in the US before it wore out it’s charm (yet still existed.) I’d totally watch this episode, of course, and I wonder if it’ll make it to Azteca America. I bet Panther won.

WWE (WED) 07/04 Plaza Monumental Tijuana Results [El Sol de Tijuana]
1) Super Crazy b Daivari
2) Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch b Paul London & Brian Kendrick [WWE TAG]
3) Mickie James b Melina
4) William Regal b Val Venis
5) Jeff Hardy b Snitsky
6) Carlito b Santino Marella
7) Rey Misterio Jr., Bobby Lashley, John Cena b Booker T, Randy Orton, Umaga

Building was said to be 3/4ths full. Recap says Regal/Venis bored the crowd.

Ovaciones and ESTO have different lineups for tonight’s DF WWE show. It’s gone thru many revisions.

Lots of GDL stuff…

CMLL (SUN) 07/01 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Casanova b Fraile de la Muerte
2) Depredador & Guero Loco b Azazel & Mach-1
3) Artillero, Jeque, Super Comando b Metal Blanco, Metalik, Metatron
4) Malefico, Mascara Magica, Toxico b Fabian el Gitano, Gallo, Mascara Purpura
5) Averno, Efesto, Mephisto b Blue Panther, Sagrado, Negro Casas

Shocker no showed the main event, and they must’ve known ahead of time because they bumped people around to accommodate. Sagrado moved up one, Mascara Purpura moved up one, Metatron got on the card. Jeque Watch: he pinned Metalik clean. Mascara Magica fouled Fabian el Gitano – that’s a feud that needs to stay in GDL.

CMLL (TUE) 07/03 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Milenio b Virgo
2) Estrella de Jalisco b Danger (Guadalajara)
3) Guerrero Samuray b Rey Trueno
4) Leon Blanco b Asesino Negro
5) Mach 1 b Jeque
6) Angel Blanco Jr., Artillero, Super Comando b Fabian el Gitano, Magnum, Mascara Purpura
7) Olimpico & Ultimo Guerrero b Alex Koslov & Marco Corelone

Jeque Watch: he lost clean. Look at Artillero and Super Comando with an honest to god semifinal win. Ultimo fouled Marco to win, Marco challenged him to a singles match next week, and this feud is making it around the horn quite a bit. I guess they’re going to make a luchador out of Corelone or UG will die trying.

CMLL (TUE) 07/10 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Estrella de Jalisco vs Destroyer
2) Evola vs Guero Loco
3) Nuba Roja vs Exterminador
4) Metalik vs Infierno

6) Blue Panther & Sagrado vs Hijo de Lizmark & Terrible

4) Extreme Tiger vs Oriental, Histeria [bull terrier]
5) Pirata Morgan & Sangre Chicana vs Antifaz & Hator

CMLL (WED) 07/04 Auditorio Municpal Tampico [Rocinante TYT CVF @ box y lucha
1) Mensajero del Muerte & Silver Fox b Baby Lover & Lumino
2) Bam Bam & Último Dragoncito b Pequeño Damian 666 & Pequeño Halloween
3) Brazo de Platino, Mascara Purpura, Valiente b Artillero, Coco Blanco, Súper Comando
4) Alex Koslov, Marco Corelone, Máximo b Loco Max, Sangre Azteca, Último Guerrero
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. b LA Park, Atlantis

Main event was elimination style. Wagner pinned Atlantis, ended up getting his mask yanked by Atlantis and fouled by Park, but the ref wouldn’t count the pin. Park tried a figure four, Wagner small packaged him for the win. I wonder who booked this show.

Tercera was supposed to be a tag match with the youngsters, but Brazo and Coco got added and it turned into a comedy match. I’d be so annoyed if that happened. Mini Damian got Bam Bam with the Valagueza, but Dragoncito rallied back to beat both Mini FdT guys for the win – maybe that’s the match we’re building too?

CMLL (THU) 07/05 Deportivo Colon, Xalapa, Veracruz [rodrigo_park @ box y lucha]

2) Gabriel o Gabriela, Samuray, Turbo b ?, Perro Mocho Jr., Rey Garifo Jr.
3) Marcela b Amapola [MEX WOMEN]
4) Heavy Metal, Rey Bucanero, Vampiro b Atlantis, Olimpico, Pierroth
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. b Ultimo Guerrero

ESTO also has an article about Santo in Spain. Also, Hijo de Santo is interviewed with Rumbo en Internet. If this is not a reprint of an interview I’ve already linked to, it’s close enough.

I have no idea who Niurka is, but apparently she’s a Mexican TV star who was special guest referee for Tuesday’s Arena Coliseo Monterrey show. It sounds like she acted like a complete goofball during the match, fell off the second rope when posing, and lost a (fake) nail when getting mobbed for autographs after the match. This required a hospital stay. Somehow, there are dozens are stories about this, including Rossy Moreno challenging her to a match. I presume it’s a Paris Hilton situation.

CMLL (FRI) 04/27 Arena Mexico [ova, ESTO, Super Luchas]
1) Brillante, Stuka Jr., Valiente b Artillero, Polvora, Super Comando
2) Marcela & Princesa Sujei b Diana la Cazadora and India Sioux and Sahori and Luna Magica and Princesa Blanca and Atenea and Amapola and La Nazi and Rosa Negra and Medussa and Diosa Maya and Seductora [sf, ciber, final 2 advance, MEX WOMEN]
3) Damian 666, Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Terrible b Dr. Wagner Jr., Mistico, Sagrado
4) Ultimo Guerrero b Shocker

Ultimo snuck in a foul. His evil monkey was there, which means it was someone other than Tzuki this time. Super Luchas says it was a slightly different costume this time. CMLL is looking for a better name for Ultimito de la Atlantida, which is fine by me.

Perro pinned Mistico clean again, and they pushed voting for him on his reality show. Others from the show were there to root him on.

Order of elimination for the women’s match (all via Super Luchas)
1) Diosa Maya (by Luna Magica)
2) Atenea (La Seductora)
3) La Seductora (India Sioux)
4) Luna Magica (Medusa)
5/6) La Nazi & Princesa Blanca (usual double pin)
7) Medusa (Diana)
8) India Sioux (Amapola)
9) Rosa Negra (Marcela)
10) Sahori (Sujei)
11) Diana (Amapola)
12) Amapola (Marcela)

India was bleeding during the match. Total match time is 24:27. That’s long.

Stuka filled in for Danger. Brillante gets a good review by ESTO.

Virus and Texano are wasting no time moving to the rudo side.

Looks like we got a Trios title match coming up.

4) Alex Koslov, Maximo, Ultimo Dragon vs Mephisto, Misterioso II, Virus
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Negro Casas, Shocker vs Atlantis, Olimpico, Tarzan Boy

If Virus as a rudo means he’s working semimains, I’m all for it.

6) Hirooki Goto & Jushin Lyger vs Dr. Wagner Jr. & Negro Casas
7) Kazuchika Okada, Mil Mascaras, Mistico, Ultimo Dragon vs Minoru Suzuki, SUWA, Ultimo Guerrero, Yoshihiro Takayma

As always, the first comment I make upon seeing a Toryumon Mexico card is “…the HECK?” That is one strange main event. I don’t even know where to begin.

The semimain tag should be interesting. This ought to mean he (and maybe Takayama) is working Friday and Sunday as well. Remember about 4 years ago when we were promised Lyger was coming to Mexico soon? Time moves slower in Mexico!

I guess the Fantasmas lost the coin toss to get the title shot this time.

Should I know who Casanova Italiano is? Milano Collection AT, perhaps? What’s the deal with faux-Italians in the greater Toryumon universo, anyway?

The third team in the third match are the UWA Canada guys, I do believe.

What happened to Onita? Not that I care.

cmll

AAA’s got a taping today. Perhaps you’ve forgotten the lineup – it was only announced four weeks ago. The big main event is a six way cage match: Cibernetico, Chessman, El Elegido, El Mesias, Abismo Negro, and whoever replaces La Parka Jr. Semimain is a incredible atomico.

Arena Mexico previews
– Ovaciones
– ESTO
– Notimex
– Mundo de Hoy.

The big show this week is Sunday – I expect that to sell out, and I would guess around 8 or 9,000 here. Main: mini monkey madness. The Perro/Mistico face off in the semimain is getting more attention. No one seems to care about the women’s cibernetico. I guess I will! (If you’re Henrik, or would like to be, skip down to the **************.)

Thanks for coming
Diosa Maya
Seductora
Atenea

Gotta figure this whole match airs somewhere, because what other people is bringing in random people except to put them on TV? I don’t quite understand why this is a 14 person match, but maybe someone here will surprise us and earn a more regular spot. (The bigger achievement is a 12 fall women’s match with no Dark Angel not testing the fans patience.) They’ll be the first three out, at any rate.

Regulars with little chance
Sahori
Medussa
Luna Magica
Rosa Negra
Princesa Blanca
Diana la Cazadora

If Sahori or Luna Magica advance and we get them in singles matches, I may lose my mind. Blanca’s probably not much better, but we don’t see her much. Medussa’s a non-factor, but Rosa Negra has looked good the last couple times I’ve seen her, and I wouldn’t mind her advancing past her normal position here. She’s not going to, but oh well. Diana need work in the ring, but she’s got enough personality and looks that I’m sure they’d do more with her if they had a chance. Her schedule makes her unlikely

Remember, we’re advancing two people from here to a match next week. I’m presuming it’ll be ruda vs tecnica…

Rudas with a real chance
3) La Nazi
2) Princesa Sujei
1) Amapola

The Pierroth influence seems to be on a down ebb the last six months. I don’t know if he’s lost influence, or if they’re just taking a break before ramping him back up again. As long as he’s around and La Nazi is connected with him, I think there’s a chance she could win the title. It’s the least chance of the final five, but there’s an obvious big/small story you can do for the final, and they’ve done it well in trios.

All I ever seem to say about Princesa Sujei is “she seemed much better in AAA”, but she’s been okay in CMLL. A Sujei title reign doesn’t particularly interest me – her big rival is Dark Angel and obviously that won’t work – but she’d be a fine enough opponent to put over one of the tecnicas.

Amapola is the best Mexican ruda female worker of the moment and would be a really fun champion. The problem is, the last time Amapola had a big Arena Mexico singles match, she kinda walked out of the building without letting anyone see much of the her freshly unmasked face, and CMLL was very unhappy. I don’t know if CMLL is over that; I’ll be remained ever convinced she was passed over for the CMLL title for that reason, and it’s not like CMLL gets over things very quickly. I think Amapola’s a strong bet for moving on, because it’ll be the best match, but I don’t know from there.

Tecnicas with a real chance
2) India Sioux
1) Marcela

That’s it. That’s the list.

India’s not ready for a big spot like this, unless they’ve been secretly working on the title match or something. It’s way too soon to give her a title – she’s an appealing tecnica, and I think India challenging for a title against a respected but evil ruda is one of the few things in this division that might be a draw, and I wouldn’t give it up this quick. You could do worse than having India in the title match; unless one of the unknowns shows up big, this is a weak tecnica side.

Is Marcela the best Mexican tecnica worker of the moment? Yea, I think so. She’s quality, but she’s missing a spark that makes you realy want to see her. Marcela seems like a great secondary tecnica, a fine worker who could be the top women’s sidekick or put over the feared ruda to build her up for another challenger. I don’t think she’s a top star, and it’s really impossible for her to be when Dark Angel and Lady Apache are ahead of her.

The Mexican Women’s Belt, it really means nothing at the moment. It was part of Lady Apache’s wardrobe, not a meaningful championship. Having Amapola face Marecla, the best possible match from this lineup, would be a good first step in making something of it, but the most important part is what they do with the belt after the title match. They’re investing too much time to just forget about it in a couple weeks.

**************

Ovaciones and AAA’s site talk about La Parka Jr., El Brazo and Chucky visiting a children’s hospital. I say this everytime, but I totally wouldn’t be sending CHUCKY to a children’s hospital. Still, it’s a nice gesture. A lot of lucha types seem to take time to visit with kids during this weekend every year.

CMLL (FRI) 03/30 Arena Puebla
1) Alex Koslov, Lizmark Jr., Marco Corelone vs Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Universo 2000
2) Rey Bucanero vs Hector Garza [CMLL LH]

VIP has rescheduled their next show for 05/12. Perros del Mal are not on the lineup. They’re running a small fair show on Sunday for Kid’s Day as well.

Perro Aguayo Jr. wants people to keep voting for him, so he stays on his reality show. Fair enough.

the Yahoo Picture Wire has a bunch of shots from a recent Coliseo Guadalajara show.

Blue Demon Jr. will be in Chicago tomorrow to sign autographs and promote his energy drink. I’m surprised that no one local is trying to split the cost and run a show with him….

OH! Someone is!

Scheduled: Blue Demon Jr., Mascara Sagrada, Casandro, La Parkita, Tzuki, Espectritio, Pequeno Violencia, Aguila del America, Lancer 2000, Guerrerito del Futuro, SWAT Kat, Lupillo el Terrible, Aguila Tapatia Jr., Halcon Galactico, Mia Martinez, Great Cheyene.

Friday: (150 W Illinois Ave., Aurora, IL); doors open 6, bell at 6:30
Saturday: (351 Oakwood Ave., Waukegan, IL); doors open 6, bell at 7
Tickets are $10 for kids, $25 for general, $30 for ringside (329 Mexican pesos)

After my freakout/meltdown with the last show I tried to go to, I’ve kinda distanced myself from such things for a bit. This one is 15 mintes from my house, so even though I’ve seen all the names on this list live at this point, I sorta have to go, right? Maybe.

(HoyInternet) There’s a lucha show in LA on Sunday, including Los Chivos and Magno.

Not to say Mistico’s a star, El Universal has a story about his face being partially exposed in a Black Warrior mask, plus a photo of the Incident. That’s all the article is. The people at El Universal don’t watch the TV show much, I’m thinking.

IWRG’s site is still down.

CMLL (FRI) 04/20 Arena Mexico [ovaciones, ESTO, CMLL]
1) Caligula & Messala b Danger & Moltov
2) Euforia, Nosfearatu, Satanico b Leono, Valiente, Virus
3) Alex Koslov, Blue Panther, Ultimo Dragon b Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca, Tarzan Boy
4) Mistico, Negro Casas, Sagrado b Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
5) Atlantis, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero b Marco Corleone, Rey Bucanero, Shocker

Before the main event, Ultimo brought a big box to the ring. He was apologetic for his attempted murder of KeMonito last week, so this was a present for the blue monkey. Inside the package – a mini Guerrero which beat up KeMonito! The official name for the guy is “Ultimonito de la Atlántida”, but that’s waaaaay too long. Feel free to tell me how they’re ripping off Guapos VIP now.

And then they had a match and Ultimo fouled Shocker and got the pin. The Ultimo/Shocker exchanges were said to be the best part.

Guess how the semimain ended. Yes.

Tarzan Boy hurt his hand in the tercera. What body part has Tarzan Boy not hurt at this point?

Euforia and Nosfearatu were said to look good, and Satanico’s postmatch comments makes it sound like this may be a regular trio.

Outside the ring, and mini madness, the big story was CMLL once again kicking out all non-CMLL affiliated photographers from ringside (and threatening to eject them from the building if they raised a fuss.) The first time this happened, it was said to be only a PPV thing, but obviously this isn’t the case here, and the affected magazines are talking boycott. ESTO demands equal access for all who cover CMLL.

(ESTO) On Monday and Tuesday Universidad Iberoamericana will be hosting lucha libre panel discussions, talking about the origin of lucha libre, the development, and the present day.

Monday 11-1: Mil Mascaras, Felino, Stuka Jr.
Monday 1-3: “AAA VP” Dorian Pena, El Fantasma, Pierroth, Cibernetico
Tuesday 11-1: Dr. Morales, Mascara Sagrada, Arturo Rivera, Veneno
Tuesday 1-3: Mauricio Medina (CMLL producer), Julian Garcia, Fernado Alvarez (editors), Rosalio Vera (photographer)

This sounds like it’d be quite good.

The VIP show for today has been postponed for a month.

Cards for next week:

CMLL (TUE) 04/24 Arena Coliseo Lineup
1) Rayo Tapatio I, Rayo Tapatio II vs Messala, Caligula
2) Stuka Jr., Tony Rivera, Brillante vs Super Comando, Artillero, Hooligan
3) Satanico, Felino, Mictlan vs Nosferatu, Euforia, Loco Max
4) Virus, Maximo, Texano Jr. vs Okumura, Ohara, Goto
5) Shocker, Negro Casas, Alex Koslov vs Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Tarzan Boy

Or maybe that trio isn’t sticking together. Never mind.

CMLL (FRI) 04/27 Arena Mexico Lineup
1) Valiente, Danger, Brillante vs Super Comando, Artillero, Polvora
2) Diana la Cazadora vs Marcela vs India Sioux vs Sahori vs Luna Magica vs Princesa Blanca vs Atenea vs Amapola vs La Nazi vs Princesa Sujei vs Rosa Negra vs Medussa vs Diosa Maya vs Seductora [sf, ciber, final 2 advance, MEX WOMEN]
3) Mistico, Dr. Wagner Jr., Sagrado vs Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Damian 666, Terrible
4) Shocker vs Ultimo Guerrero

Putting Shocker with Ultimo is fine way to see if he still go. He’s seemed better the last few weeks.

I had presumed the Mexican Women’s Championship would be settled between two selected people and on Arena Coliseo, because after all, it’s only a National title that’s probably headed to a women not on the top tier (Lady Apache, Dark Angel, Hiroka, and Mima Shimoda all can’t be involved, and they get pushed the strongest.) Instead, they’re following the same formula as for when they decided the CMLL Women’s Championship – a cibernetico with the final two facing off next week.

Atenea wrestled a few times in Arena Coliseo Guadalajara, got written about in Box Y Lucha, and then fell off the radar. (Her rival Silueta didn’t make the cut unless she’s got a new name. One person dropping out of a two person division can kinda end the matches, so maybe that’s what happened.) Diosa Maya was working undercards of Martha Villalobos’ AAA cards last year, but last turned up working a CMLL spot show in February. Seductora is a Mexico State indy wrestler who’s worked spot shows for CMLL and IWRG, even appearing on their TV once when they weren’t in Arena Naucalpan.

CMLL (SUN) 04/29 Arena Mexico Lineup
