06/02: Mexico, IWRG, Lineups

CMLL (FRI) 06/01 Arena Mexico [ovaciones, superluchas]
1) Metalico, Neutron, Stuka Jr. b Arkangel, Loco Max, Nitro
2) Flash, Sombra, Super Nova b Goto, Ohara, Okumura
3) Villano III, Villano IV, Villano V b Atlantis, Olimpico, Sangre Azteca
4) Damian 666, Hijo de Lizmark, Terrible b Dr. Wagner Jr., Marco Corelone, Mistico
5) Mr. Aguila b Sagrado [LdP, sf]

Ovaciones says the main event was the lamest match of the night. Sagrado dominated most, with Aguila taking advantage of mistakes to win. The fans didn’t get to it, because they already saw Mistico. The final of Los Cinco Mangificos is Sunday.

Lizmark got a foul on Dr. Wagner to win his match.

Villanos beat Atlantis’ crew in two falls, and then snatched their masks. Big push.

Segunda was said to be really good.

IWRG (THU) 05/31 Arena Naucalpan [El_mensajero @ El Martiente]
1) Dragon Yuki & Kagrra b Aguila Oriental & Samba
2) Trauma I & Trauma II b Ave Fenix & Halcon Salvaje
3) Kai, Sasaki, Yamato b Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro, Suicida
4) Astro Boy, Esfinge, Veneno b Black Terry, Fantasma de la Opera, Kraneo
5) Hijo de Cien Caras & Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. b Felino & Pantera [IWRG IC TAG]

Pantera randomly turned on Felino in the main event, fouling him and laying down to be pinned. Doesn’t sound like they’re drawing very much.

Wow, a mini title defense. If this was a Sunday show, I’d say they were adding a match and that opener was going to get bumped to the dark match.

La Presna jumps on the “there’s no way Mistico could possibly go to WWE” line, saying that Mistico’s already booked for months from now (and no one ever misses a booking) and is scheduled to start on a telenovela soon (?). It’s, uh, interesting how this article and the one yesterday are basically followup pieces to articles they never wrote.

This AP Story (which got picked up everywhere) about visiting Mexico City on $20 or less recommends lucha, of course.

The intrepid traveler on a budget shouldn’t miss the Lucha Libre, the Mexican version of the WWF, where you can see masked, muscly giants like Mistico and Blue Panther pummel one another in a crusty downtown arena that will bring Jack Black’s “Nacho Libre” to life.

No offense to Panther, but I’ve never thought of him that way. The article says tickets are already on ticketmaster – not yet, as far I’ve seen.
