The annual Rey del Ring show, contested lately as a Royal Rumble. Full order/elimination information is up on the wiki, but pretty much all taken from The Gladiatores excellent twitter and audio broadcasts of the show. I probably could’ve used the extra hour of sleep this later this weekend, but it was really fun to follow.

Final four were Veneno, Mascara Ano 2000 Jr., Olimpico and Ricky Cruz, who did appear to have a pretty strong rooting section. The Guerreras Super X group interfered during the later stages of the match, but Cruz finished Veneno for the win (and the belt). After the match, Super X switched tactics and tried to recruit Cruz, but he said no.

Notable absences: Freelance, Suicida, Scorpio Jr. (who won this last year) and Hijo del Pierroth (who beat Scorpio for the title earlier this year.)

Accion

CMLL: Mistico vs Wagner, of course. Even in clips, there’s lots of shots of the soap opera costars. Mostly Wagner highlights, with Mistico getting in his stage dive. They skip the setup to the Ultimo run-in and the Mistico pin. Heroic job by Baby Richard for not noticing Ultimo climbing the ropes as he came back in to count the pin.

AAA: TripleMania main event, though it’s listed as Kenzo/Mesias vs Ciberentico/Chessman. We do get to see Charly and X-Pac, so who knows what that’s about. Chessman’s suicide attempt gets the skeletal replay, and it’s listed as 6m (19.6 feet) dive. The table not breaking sure didn’t help anything. Mesias’s accidental fire spot is well done, as those things go, and I was all set to mock it.

I missed DeporTV America today, but the video should be up tomorrow.

IWRG (THU) 07/26 Arena Naucalpan [superluchas, IWRG]
1) Halcon Salvaje b Shuriken

That’s in reverse order of elimination (Yamato is the winner, Cerebro Negro was second to last, etc.) Match went 1h40m and airs on a special IWRG/TVC broadcast, August 13th.

(box y lucha foro) On Tercera Caida, Konnan said he plans to be back in two months. He floated bringing in ROH guys to AAA. I expect US indy guys to show up in AAA in the next couple months, and almost would be disappointed if they don’t. At the same time, I don’t expect them to be specifically ROH guys – since they won’t have much name recognition in Mexico, you find better bargains in cost and availability elsewhere, and ROH has been down on lucha forever – like about since Konnan’s match there, right? Not that I’m trying to make a connection, that’s just the last time I can think of it happening, maybe there was some Super Crazy stuff after.

THAT was a pointless digression.
