2) Espiritu Maligno, Murcielago, Toro Bill Sr. b Asturiano, Centella de Oro, Forajido
3) Black Terry, Negro Navarro, Nitro b Leono, Tony Rivera, Valiente
4) Felino, Mascara Sagrada, Texano Jr. b Misterioso II, Olimpico, Terrible
5) La Mascara, Mistico, Volador Jr. b Averno, Efesto, Mephisto

Terrible replaced Tarzan Boy, who did show up to explain a foot injury is keeping him out of action. Usual main event finish.

Ovaciones has an interview with Alex Koslov, about his tecnico turn. The rudos turn on each other too much, so he decided to jump sides.

NWA XLAW (SUN) 03/04 Coliseo Tulancingo Lineup [superluchas]
1) Skayde & Skayde Jr. vs Amo de la Noche, Talaxys
2) Shamu, Katsumi Kanai vs Epidermia, Heavy Boy
3) Kaleth, Nemesis (IWRG) vs Geneis, Feroz

5) Dr. Cerebro, Freelance vs Fantasma de la Opera, Cerebro Negro
6) Chad Malenko vs El Suicida
7) Ultimo Dragon vs Frankie Kazarian vs Tajiri [1, NWA HEAVY]

I sure hope that’s the ex-IWRG/current Piratas in the third match, because I don’t need a third guy named Nemesis. Chad Malenko is Chad Collyer, living the dream.

3) Conflictus, Junior Halcon vs Arana Cibernetica I, Arana Cibernetica II

6) Super Star vs Super Leopardo [trofeo Lee Roy]

Officals are going to restrict the amount of lucha libre shows which take place in Auditorio Municipal Torreon. The ring and the chairs are damaging their wood floor, and they don’t expect the wrestling promoters will pay for it, so they’re only going to let a few top events runt there each year.

Rocky Romero may have been asked to drop the Black Tiger IV gimmick.

The Charly Manson/Box Y Lucha chat is today.

01/16: Puebla, Halcon

CMLL (MON) 01/15 Arena Puebla Results [hugo999 @ box y lucha]
1) Fenix, King Jaguar b Espiritu Maligno, Mr. Rafaga
2) Asturiano, Lestat, the Tiger b Fuerza Chicana, Furia Chicana, Siki Osama

Sounds like the main event finish played off the previous ones.

AAA (SUN) 01/14 Plaza de Toros San Roque de Tuxtla, Gutierrez Results [El Heraldo de Chipas]
1) Charly Galan, Dr. Electro b Ying Yang, Tarot Magico II
2) Alebrije & Cuije b Monsther & Chucky [AAA MASCOT TAG]
3) Tarot Magico DQ b El Macho [mask]
4) Gronda II, Octagon b Scorpio Jr., Pirata Morgan

El Macho is Alfredo Vazques, from Estado de Mexico, and he’s been wrestling 20 years. He lost his mask by accidentally hitting the referee. That sucks.

Noticias de Oaxaca has a profile on Los Misioneros de Oaxaca.

Halcon #84 features an interview with Sangre Azteca (happy with 2006 but wants better in 2007), an interview with the Kamoa family, q&a with [Mini] Fantasy (who mentions he beat someone named Victorioso for his mask in Oaxaca) and a bio of Circulo Rojo (former wrestler now trainer).

01/12: AAA, Sangre Azteca, Puebla, Mexico

AAA’s updated their news section with a long article about the new stars of 2006. They say they plan to go to Central America, the US, and possibly even Spain in ’07. Nothing about future TV tapings past the next one.

Ovaciones interviewed Sangre Azteca, who hopes to make his welterweight title reign as strong as the ones of Santo and Blue Demon. Good luck on that. He hopes to continue to feuding with La Mascara, Texano Jr., Sagrado, Maximo, Shocker, and Satanico; that’s a lot of people to fight. This is all hype for his semi-main appearance tonight, so it’s kinda funny he doesn’t mention Volador Jr. since he’s facing him tonight – I mean, why stop naming names?

CMLL (MON) 01/15 Arena Puebla Lineup
1) King Jaguar, Fenix vs Mr. Rafaga, Espiritu Maligno
2) the Tiger, Lestat, Asturiano vs Siki Osama, Fuerza Chicana, Furia Chicana
3) Mascara Purpura, Texano Jr., Stuka Jr. vs Loco Max, Maniacop, Nitro
4) Mistico, Negro Casas, Volador Jr., Ultimo Dragon vs Averno, Mephisto, Efesto, Tarzan Boy
5) Ultimo Guerrero vs Shocker

That seems like a loaded up card for Puebla. Is the AAA taping (on Saturday) close enough where they’re competing here?

El Sol De Tulancingo has a story about the local lucha scene – there isn’t one, there’s no promotions, though somehow there are schools. But they’re hoping for better.

Guerreros del Ring Special #5 is on Atlantis.

Here’s tonight’s Arena Mexico card:

CMLL (FRI) 01/12 Arena Mexico
1) Sombra de Plata & Super Nova vs Polvora & Vaquero
2) Fabian el Gitano, Leono, Texano Jr. vs Arkangel, Loco Max, Nitro
3) Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto vs Blue Panther, Negro Casas, Sagrado
4) La Mascara, Shocker, Volador Jr. vs Alex Koslov, Sangre Azteca, Ultimo Guerrero
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Heavy Metal, Rey Bucanero vs Hector Garza, Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mr. Aguila

Fake storylines for this show
– Main Event is a sorta-#1 contenders match for two factions (Perros/tecnicos), since they’ve both been challenging the Guerreros in non-title matches
– Semimain is continuation of La Mascara/Sangre, and it’s the Alex/Sangre brotherhood. Also, they should be plugging Ultimo/Shocker in Puebla.
– I can’t think of anything to make up about the tercera. Negro vs Averno? Tag titles? Efesto? No, it’s just there
– Segunda is match 230 in the best of 433 series between these two sides.
– opener is just to get Super Nova on the show.

There shall be no Guerreros del Ring notes tomorrow morning (maybe Sunday?), but I may get Arena Mexico results up.

01/02: Puebla, Mistico, Ultimo Guerrero

CMLL (SAT) 01/01 Arena Puebla Results [hugo999]
1) Fenix, Forajido b Kirvan, Murcielago
2) Astro Boy, Centella de Oro, Lestat DQ Fuerza Chicana, Karissma, Siki Ozama Jr.
3) Amapola, Hiroka, Rosa Negra b India Sioux, Lady Apache, Marcela
4) Mascara Ano 2000, Skandalo, Universo 2000 b Coco Blanco, Coco Rojo, Coco Verde
5) Black Warrior, Olimpico, Tarzan Boy b Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero, Shocker

I’m completely unsure I got those last two results right. Oh well.

No results from Coliseo yet.

Guerrero del Ring #68 is year in review.

Mistico is back in Arena Aficion tonight, for the first time after a too short match there angered fans.

In an interview with El Siglo de Torreon, Ultimo Guerrero vows to get a mask match with Mistico, win the CMLL LH match back from Rey and take his hair, and beat Silver King and Dr. Wagner in technical matches to prove he’s the best wrestler in the world. This is normally where I’d say something like “it’s nice to have dreams”, but I don’t doubt Ultimo Guerrero. The same paper also has an interview hyping up Brillante Jr.

Milenio has an article about women in lucha. If you like lists of names…
