Hijo de Pirata Morgan takes the gold, AULL loses it in Costa Rica

IWRG (SUN) 09/16/2012 Arena Naucalpan [IWRG]
1) Infierno Kid Jr. b Serpiente de Oro
The ever changing rules of IWRG opener are “one fall” for the moment. Easy win for Infierno Kid.
2) Carta Brava Jr., Imposible, Rayan b Centvrión, Dinamic Black, Saruman
Rayan replaced Matrix Jr.
3) Chicano b Cerebro Negro [WWS WELTER]
Chicano came in as champion, with Imposible as his second. Centvrion worked the opposite corner. Both got involved in the third fall. Chicano survived to powerbomb and plancha Cerbero for the win (2/3) Cerebro Negro gave him credit for the clean win.
4) Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro b Alan Extreme, Black Terry, Temerario Infernal [EdM Trios]
Oficials came in as champs. Temerarios tookin the first, Oficials took the second. In the third, AK-47 beat Alan Extreme with the Devil’s Wings and Bombero pinned Fierro after a spear. AK-47 took out Bombero with a tope and hurt his knee in the process, leaving 911 and Black Terry alone while the ref checked out the injury. Alan ran back in to hit 911 with a chair, but before Black Terry could cover, Fierrero dropped Terry with a backcracker. 911 crawled on top to keep the titles. Temerarios demanded a rematch.
5) Bestia 666, Damián 666, Eterno b Hijo de LA Park, Negro Navarro, Trauma II
Navarro replaced Fresero Jr. FdT took 1/3. Hijo de LA Park did not get along with his partners from the start and laid down in the third fall for Eterno to beat him. It still took an unseen foul on Navarro from Bestia 666 to give the rudos the win.
6) Hijo de Pirata Morgan b Trauma I, Hijo de Máscara Año 2000 [IWRG JUNIORS]
Pirata put the Rey de Ring title on the line, Trauma I put his mask, and Hijo de Mascara Ano 2000 put his Junior titles on the line. Trauma I escaped the match after Mascara splashed Pirata Morgan and Trauma beat Mascara (with lots of interference from Morgan.) Hijo de Pirata Morgan used his Perla Negra (said to be a reinera variant) to submit Mascara and win the Juniors title. Mascara argued he got the ropes, but was ignored.

02/25 (results): AAA, IWRG, GDL, CMLL

Post is too big this morning. So it’ll be two.

AAA (FRI) 02/20 Arena San Juan Pantitlan [The Gladiatores]
1) La Chona, Miserable, Ricky Ricon b Escorpion Dorado Jr., Mohicano I, Rey del Espacio [Copa Gema, semifinal]
2) Baby Amor, Caricia, Caricia Jr. b Bestia Metalica, Infinito, Mohicano II [Copa Gema, semifinal]
3) La Chona, Miserable, Ricky Ricon b Baby Amor, Caricia, Caricia Jr. [Copa Gema, final]
4) Brian el Striper & Mari Apache b Cinthia Moreno & Dizzy
5) Argenis, Gato Eveready, Laredo Kid b Rio Bravo, Tigre Cota, Tito Santana II
6) Killer Clown, Psycho Clown, Zombie Clown b Cuervo, Escoria, Ozz
7) La Parka Jr. b Zorro, Konnan [copa contreras 2009]

La Parka got a hold of the cane and hit people until he got the won. They’re setting up a Brian/Dizzy hair vs mask match here. Dizzy turned rudo at some point – maybe that’s why Atomic Boy changed his name.

IWRG (SAT) 02/21 Arena Xochimilco [The Gladiatores]
1) Comando Gama b Keshin Black
2) Gemelo Fantastico I & Gemelo Fantastico II b Anticristo Jr. & Vampiro Metalico
3) Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Fantasma de la Opera b Chico Che, Fenix, Miss Gaviota
4) Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro b Dr. Cerebro, Freelance, Multifacetico [IWRG IC TRIOS]
5) Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Scorpio Jr., Tinieblas Jr. b Head Hunter I, Hijo del Cien Caras, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr.

Top two matches were all about teams falling apart. Junior Dinamitias and Head Hunter fell out after Hunter screwed something up. Similarly, Dr. Cerebro and Freelance could not go from having a hair match to teaming up successfully, Cerebro costing his team the match and leading his usual trios parnters (Cerebro Negro and Black Terry) into a beatdown of Freelance and Multifacetico. Tecnicos want a shot at the DF Trios titles now.

Vampiro Metalico hasn’t been here since 2007. Use that knowledge responibly.

IWRG (SUN) 02/22 Arena Naucalpan [The Gladiatores]
1) Halcon 2000 b Imperio Azteca
2) Goleador & Miss Gaviota b King Drako & Vampiro Metalico
3) Black Terry, Eragon, Trauma I b Anticristo Jr., Fantasma de la Opera, Nemesis IWRG
4) Freelance, Multifacetico, Zatura b Arlequin, Avisman, Bushi
5) Head Hunter I & Head Hunter II DQ Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. & Universo 2000

Universo 2000 replaced Mascara Ano 2000 Sr., and Hijo del Cien Caras ran in the end for the DQ. Head Hunters still want that tag title match, though Unvierso wants a Dinamitas vs Foreigners cage match.

Semifinal third fall saw big dives from Freelance and Avisman to wipe out Arlequin and Multifacetico. That left Zatura and Bushi, and Zatura got Bushi with a German suplex. Zatura wants a lightweight title match.

Black Terry filled in on the tecnico side for Trauma II, and I guess they moved Fantasma de la Opera so he’d have an old rudo rival to feud with. (Arlequin replaced Judas el Traidor.) Terry pinned Fantasma using the ropes to win for his team.

CMLL (SUN) 02/22 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Relampago Azul b Skaxy
2) Astaroth & Nube Roja DQ Ebola & Valentin Mayo
3) Magnum & Metatron b Rafaga & Rey Trueno
4) La Mascara, Mictlan, Shocker b Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto [torneo, quarterfinal]
5) Black Warrior, Dragon Rojo Jr., Sangre Azteca b Blue Panther, Mascara Dorada, Stuka Jr. [torneo, semifinal]
6) Black Warrior, Dragon Rojo Jr., Sangre Azteca b La Mascara, Mictlan, Shocker [torneo, final]

Covered the main stuff on Monday. The tag matches would seem to be part of the tournament they were doing here, but there’s no mention of it. Instead, they seem to be building a hair match between Nube Roja and Valentin Mayo, who was disqualified for excessive violence.

CMLL (TUE) 02/24 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [MT]
7) Averno, Mephisto, Satanico b Blue Panther, Mascara Dorada, Mictlan

Averno snuck and fouled Panther while Satanico had the ref, then Satanico picked up the win. This main event was a celebration of Satanico reaching 35 years (and 8 months?) of wrestling.

CMLL (TUE) 02/24 Arena Mexico [CMLL, Avellaneda @ box y lucha]
1) Angel Azteca Jr.Sombra de PlataCamorraZayco
2) ElectricoPequeño OlímpicoShockercitoPequeño Damian 666Pequeño ViolenciaSombrita
3) Lady ApacheMarcelaSahoriPrincesa BlancaPrincesa SujeiRosa Negra
4) Hector GarzaHijo del FantasmaToscanoEphestoMisterioso IITerrible
5) ShockerUltimo Guerrero

Ultimo Guerrero lost clean, again. Shocker apparently is jumping Dos in line for a title shot, since Shocker/UG for the Heavyweight title will be next week on the monthly fan appreciation show.

Princesa Blanca and Marcela are stil feuding. The rudas were DQed in the first fall for excessive violence and the tecnicas took fall two (so yes, they only go two falls for those who root for such things.)

12/07 Arena Naucalpan results

IWRG AZTECA (SUN) 12/07 Arena Naucalpan [The Gladiatores]
1) Eragon & Goleador b Anticristo Jr. & Nemesis (IWRG)
2) Comando Negro & Trauma II b Freelance & Pendulo
3) Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro b Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro [EdM TRIOS]
4) Cien Caras Jr., Hijo de Máscara Año 2000, Hijo del Cien Caras b Arlequin, Pierroth II, Trauma I
5) Scorpio Jr. DQ Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. [Rey del Ring]
6) Fuerza Guerrera, Super Astro, Tinieblas Jr., Zumbido b Head Hunter I, Masada, Mascara Ano 2000, Tetsuda

The reign of the Oficials is over! They held these belts for 17 months with (relatively) frequent defenses. They picked up the IWRG IC Trios belts along the way, and are still champions of those belts (I think.)

In the semimain, Masada was Mascara Ano 2000 Jr.’s cornerman and interfered often. (Intocable was Scorpio’s second, even though he wasn’t working on the show.) Masada fouled Scorpio to set up the pin, but the referee belatedly listened to the crowd and called for the DQ. MA2K Jr. wasn’t happy with Masada and Scorpio wasn’t happy with either of them, and it sounds like this might lead to a three way apuesta match (IWRG’s announced they’ll be doing one of those to wrap the year up, so there you go.)

After that, MA2K and foreigners didn’t get along in the main event, which led to the loss. All the junior Capos ran out for the save after the match.

Rudos lost the fourth match after getting DQed for excessive violence, then got beat in the second.

10/03: AAA’s big jump revealed?, IWRG, NWA Mexico

La Orjea had a panel of AAA wrestlers on to discuss whether wrestling is real or fake. According to the article, those on the panel were Octagon, Super Porky, Cibernetico, Mesias, Konnan and Shocker. Yes, Shocker. Perhaps we know who’s the big surprise on Sunday.

If this is correct, that means – as you’ll see below – Shocker not only convinced IWRG to run a multi-week main event angle around he and Zumbido stopping the feud and teaming up again only take off before they actually team up, but Shocker will also be no-showing a charity show to make to AAA TV. Burn, bridges, burn!

BTW, AAA’s time has changed yet again: the website says it’s 2h30m now.

6) Dr. Wagner Jr., Juventud Guerrera, Shocker b Head Hunter I, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Zumbido

Zumbido was turning tecnico during this match, so the rudos pretty much failed. After the match, Zumbido and Shocker announced they were teaming up now and challenged the Jr. Capos for a tag team title shot.

Oficials now hold the IWRG IC and Mexico State trios titles.

Cerebros snuck in fouls on the Gemelos to take the third match.

AAA (TUE) 09/30 Parque Revolucion de Culiacan [noroeste]
3) Kempo Dragon, Monster Truck, Relampago b Doberman, Mario el Desalmado, Psiclope [Copa Culiacan 477]
4) Jack Evans & Teddy Hart b Aerostar & Súper Fly and Joe Lider & Nicho el Millionario
5) Kenzo Suzuki, Konnan, Zorro b Cibernetico, Mascara Divina, Silver King

Rudos (who had Arturo Rivera with them) snuck in a foul on the Cibernetico. In the triangle tag match, Lider/Nicho were first out. Attendence is listed as 3,000.

AAA (MON) 10/27 Parque Revolucion de Culiacan
1) Octagoncito & Sexy Star vs Mini Abismo Negro & Tiffany
2) Cuervo & Ozz vs Abismo Negro & La Parka Jr.

Again, Abismo and Tiffany showing up.

Tonight: Ovaciones hypes Niebla/Wagner. Someone should! ESTO goes with Panther/UG. Notimex goes with both.

AAA says La Hechicera will be out a month with a leg injury. Good to know that, but out of all the injuries and disappearances in the last six months, they only one they feel like publicizing is La Hechicera.

SoloLuchas talks to Hooligan, who has the most generic future plans possible for a luchador. (He’s like to win something! He’d like to move up the card!) His son, a fan of rock music, came up with the idea for the gimmick. Hooligan also celerbates the Santos winning the championship. This article finds a way to mention La Alianza, so Cesar Cruz Garcia must be a lurker in the comments. There’s no other way.

NWA Mexico gets some decent coverage: Luchando Libre explains the concept of the NWA. Blue Demon Jr. hypes up the show in ESTO, also mentioning that Santo’s not coming back until December (they’re worried about oversaturation.) SoloLuchas starts their article this way, according to the translation

The day after the Blue Demon got rid of a group of zombies who had a sunny kindergarten near his gallery and withstood the charms of female vampire that bothered him all night

NWA Mexico president is a tough job!

Gato Eveready & Hijo del Pirata Morgan will be on the Deportes 830 station at 8pm on Sunday.

Luchando Libre writes about Dos Caras Jr. going to WWE.

SuperLuchas posts video of Argentina’s 100% Lucha and about Campeones de Lucha Libre. SoloLuchas talks to Dragon Rojo Jr. talks about the movie. “They should not think that the film is based on my life, but rather represents an adventure that many of us, both wrestlers and fans at some point in our lives we imagined when we were kids.”

The Gladiatores also catches up with former wrestler Bello Adan/the Rose, who’s now a mask seller outside of Arena Mexico, and had photos from the DF New Wrestler Licensing Evalutation from Arena Coliseo.

CMLL (MON) 10/06 Arena Puebla
1) Lestat & Toro Bill vs Espiritu Maligno & Zigma
2) Bam Bam, Fantasy, Último Dragoncito vs Fire, Mr. Aguilita, Pequeño Black Warrior
3) Axxel, Flash, Metalik vs Skandalo, Vangelis, Virus
4) Hijo del Fantasma, La Máscara, Volador Jr. vs Mr. Niebla, Rey Bucanero, Sangre Azteca
5) Dos Caras Jr., Héctor Garza, Marco Corelone vs Atlantis, Negro Casas, Último Guerrero

You know, being this is CMLL, I wouldn’t be totally surprised if Dos just worked that show anyway. But I’m thinking not.

A play opening up tonight in Xalapa: Mascara contra cabellera.
