11/22: IWRG, AAA, Santo


(iwrg.com)

Nothing on either Coliseo show. Nothing more on the AAA results. I do now know what the deal was with the Virus/Mascara Purpura match ending early on Monday – a recap in La Prensa says Mascara Purpura hurt his arm on a dive.

Kenzo/Rey is a bonus match for Sunday. CMLL’s story explanation is their match in Puebla and their earlier face offs in matches were just so good, they needed to do one more time. It’s not a title match.

IWRG (THU) 11/16 Arena Naucalpan Results
1) Halcon Salvaje, Kid Tiger b Avisman, Black Stone
2) Ave Fenix, Kung Fu Jr., Turbo b Comando Gama, Fantasma de la Opera, Macho II
3) Bacteria, Freelance b Black Jaguar, Comando Mega
This turned out not to be a stakes match, but maybe next week.
4) Dr. Cerebro, Suicida, Villano III b Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Negro Navarro, Pierroth II
5) Cerebro Negro, Mistico, Sagrado b Misterioso II, Nitro, Veneno

AAA (THU) 11/23 Plaza de Toros La Comitecia Lineup [El Heraldo de Chipas]
1) Mini Chessman, Jerrito Estrada vs Mascarita Sagrada, Mascarita Divina
2) Nemesis AAA, Super Fly, Rey Cometa vs Drake, Pirata Morgan Jr., Barba Roja
3) Dizzy vs Gran Demon [mask]
4) Intocable, Octagon, Aliado vs Alan Stone, Pirata Morgan, Abismo Negro

I know a mask match is supposed to be a big deal, but this is more interesting to me for NEMESIS VS NEMESIS. It’d be better if we knew which guy was Nemesis IWRG – I think I may just decide that’s Drake for record keeping purposes.

CMLL.com also says the Monday Arena Mexico show was great, and Electroshock (re)debut was big. Uh huh. The Notimex notes that the Satanico, Electroshock, Silver King was booed, particularly Electroshock.

El Universal has an interview with El Santo. He says a US movie person called him, wanting to make a Santo movie, and put Bruce Willis in the role – and Santo immediately shot him down, because he’s Santo. Santo claims he’s 34, which either means luchawiki is wrong and he started wrestling at nine, or he’s lying! Or maybe it’s just a typo, but that’s less sensational.
