CMLL (TUE) 08/26 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Thunder Boy b Milenio
2) Metatron b Güero Loco
3) Pequeño Damian 666 b Bam Bam
4) Atenea & Lady Apache DQ Amapola & Hiroka
5) Damián 666 b Leon Blanco
6) Terrible & Texano Jr. b Rayman & Sagrado [OCCIDENTE TAG]
7) Atlantis & Último Guerrero b Marco Corelone & Sombra

Sombra replaced Mistico, and the rudos snuck in fouls for the win. Perros won clean, tripping up Sagrado on a springboard attempt to get to the finish. Mini Damian not only beat Bam Bam with a Black Hammer, but snuck in the fifth match to foul Leon Blanco and help the larger version win. Amapola got DQed for excessive violence on Lady Apache, which surely hurt their teamwork on Friday.

indy (FRI) 08/29 Auditorio de Tijuana [superluchas]
3) Blue Demon Jr. & El Hijo Del Santo b LA Park & Super Parka

Parkas were out of control in this match, getting DQ for ripping up the tecnicso masks and excessive violence, to the point where the comission warned them they’d stop the match if they didn’t settle down. (Park said something along the lines of not coming to Tijuana to play with dolls.) Tecnicos took in straight falls when Super Parka attacked the ref, allowing Santo to sneak in a foul and take the win. There’s tease of a Santo/Super Parka hair/mask match. Santo took Parka’s mask, back in 2003.

CANCION (SUN) 08/31 Centro de Espectaculos La Cancion de Tutltitlan [superluchas]
1) Anticristo, Excalibur, Toxico b Cerebro Negro, Fantasma de la Ópera, Men
2) Hermano Black Shadow I & Hermano Black Shadow II b Guerrero Siam & Tailandes
3) Super Calo L Intocable and El Fantasma and el Hijo Del Anibal and Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. and Solar I and Dr. Wagner Jr. and Zumbido and Lizmark Jr. and Toscano [cage, hair]

As everyone suspected, Super Calo lost his hair. Intocable winning it is no shocker either. They ran an angle where Zumbido hit both guys with a chair being the second to last guy out, so I guess there’s a feud here somewhere.

Sololuchas has full results of the AULL show.

CMLL (FRI) 09/05 Arena Mexico
1) Angel de Oro, Flash, Stuka Jr. vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Dr. X, Skandalo
2) Máximo, Metalik, Valiente vs Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca, Virus
3) La Máscara, Mictlán, Sagrado vs Damián 666, Dragon Rojo Jr., Mr. Águila
4) Blue Panther, La Sombra, Marco Corelone vs Atlantis, Lizmark Jr., Último Guerrero
5) Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Volador Jr. vs Heavy Metal, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas

don’t they need to announce Wagner/Niebla for the masks ASAP if they’re going to do it? They keep hinting in that direction.

Even more Mictlan/Dragon Rojo. Even more UG/Blue Panther. Panther/UG would obviously mean more in a mask match, but I don’t think UG/V5/Panther would mean significantly more since no one’s going to believe Ultimo Guerero is losing his mask to one of those two.

CMLL (SUN) 09/07 Arena Coliseo
1) Astro Boy & Sombra de Plata vs Cholo & Soberano
2) Fabián el Gitano, Máscara Púrpura, Tony Rivera vs Halcon Negro, Loco Max, Nitro
3) Amapola vs Lady Apache [CMLL WOMEN]
4) Grey Shadow, La Máscara, Sagrado vs Dragon Rojo Jr., Rey Bucanero, Sangre Azteca
5) Blue Panther, La Sombra, Volador Jr. vs Atlantis, Black Warrior, Último Guerrero

Lot ‘o Guerreros.

For some reason, I thought Lady Apache already won this title. That certainly makes the finish on Friday make more sense to me. The question now is, is Apache getting the hair and the belt or was this a 50/50 split?

Maybe someone thought “you know what, we really need another guy for this Tuareg group to really put them over the top (in the segundas). Anyone have Halcon Negro’s number?” Let’s go with that.

Of course, this real news is Cholo appearing. I don’t like his shot at getting his first win. Soberano appears to have shortening his name.

Juvi was interviews on the uh, an audio show who’s name isn’t specifically mentioned on the F4 recap nor is a link given, oops and says he’d like to get in CMLL. I’d like to be President. (No, I wouldn’t.)

They’re writing as many stories in Spain after the CMLL Spain tour as they were during it.

Odd convergence: an Incredibly Strange Wrestling memoir on a Wired.com blog. Everything with ISW is an odd convergence.

Luchaworld has Robert on ’05 IWRG, ACM and AAA TV

3 hours of AAA TV is like watching a weekly house show… it’s so fantastic. I can’t even begin to imagine how amazing CMLL would be with a weekly 3 hour time slot covering a match from Arena Coliseo and the entire Arena Mexico show.

Things change!

1) Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila vs Sagrado, Sombra, Volador Jr. [MEX TRIOS]

This seems like Halloween working one last match to lose the titles. I hope that’s what’s happening, it’d be amusing to have the Mistico Replacement Squad as team champs.

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]

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.

5) Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Sagrado vs Atlantis, Olimpico, Tarzan Boy

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.

CMLL (FRI) 06/08 Arena Mexico
1) Fantasy & Tzuki vs Mini Violencia & Pierrothito

5) Blue Panther, Dr. Wagner Jr., Shocker vs Damian 666, Halloween, Hijo de Lizmark
6) Mistico vs Mr. Aguila [LdP, final]

Atlantis is bringing in the big guns to take care of the Villanos. The Leyenda de Plata match may be determined

CMLL (SUN) 06/10 Arena Coliseo

5) Mr. Aguila vs Sagrado [LdP, sf]

Ovaciones explains the odd names – some people are changing gimmicks

Tigre Metalico -> Metalico
Brillante -> Sombra

Previews: NotiMex, ESTO talks Villanos vs Atlanits (who’s cheerfully ignoring the mask challenges.)

Sagrado’s been making the media rounds – he’s got an interview with Ovaciones and another with ESTO today. He talks about Aguila (will be a challenge even distracted with Circus stuff), Mistico (if they fight, they fight, and then they’ll keep being friends after), and goals (revenge on Texano, a shot at Averno’s title.) Sagrado knows this is a big chance for him and he’s hoping he proves something to CMLL.

Got a feeling that Leyenda match will be bumped to semimain and the Mistico match will end up main event.

CMLL (TUE) 05/29 Arena Queretaro [Knotty @ elmartinete]

5) Dos Caras Jr. & Marco Corelone DQ Hector Garza & Terrible

Garza and Terrible used illegal moves.

SLAM has a review of the Mucha Lucha a Go-Go book.

indy (WED) 05/30 Teatro del Puebla [Frontent Juarez]
1) Cassandro, Gallo Tapado Jr., Hijo del Santo b Blue Demon Jr., Green Danger, Sexy Francis

Article includes pictures and a 10 second clip of the match.

Local promoters in Monclova talked about starting every other week CMLL events on June 10th. They expect to run 10 this year. Wrestlers hyped for the show include Heavy Metal, Lizmark Jr., Black Warrior, Olimpico, Universo 2000, Hijo de Anibal, Angel Blanco Jr., and Hijo de Cien Caras Jr. I guess they’re going to set the bar low on the first show.

(esmas) A new Mexican restruant has been opened up in Madrid with a lucha libre theme.

El Sol de Tulancingo‘s preview of an AAA fair show hypes it up with a picture of Atlantis and Dr. Wagner. Oops.

The big controversy I’ve totally blown off this week is newspaper photos and passed around videos of masked wrestlers without masks. I’m not really surprised this sort of thing happens and I also don’t think it’s a very ethical thing to do. The newspaper photo was from the match, when Mistico got unmasked for a moment, so it’s not as though the photographer used illict means. It’s not as big a deal to me as the video (which is apparently someone walking around backstage with a camera), but there’s still something tabloid-ish about it.

Mostly, I can’t get worked up about this because the wrestlers themselves don’t seem to care that much. If you want CMLL TV for any length of them, you see plenty of masks untied and teasing of it coming off and times where it does come off and the face is plainly visibly to the crowd. (Oddly, the AAA guys are generally better about this, though La Parka Jr. does the spot a bit.) I’m not too interested – and haven’t sought out any of it for myself, so don’t look for links – in any of this because there isn’t much mystery in their faces.

05/26: Mexico results, lineups

Would you believe they finally totally turned Lizmark Jr. rudo? I guess it counts when he backstabs Mistico.

CMLL (FRI) 05/25 Arena Mexico [ovaciones, ESTO]
1) Brillante, Flash, Super Nova b Apocalipsis, Hooligan, Ramstein
2) Alex Koslov, Blue Panther, Negro Casas DQ Mephisto, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca
3) Sagrado b Averno, Ephesto, Virus, Texano Jr., Leono, Loco Max, Valiente, Heavy Metal, Black Warrior [ciber, LdP]
4) Dr. Wagner Jr., Lizmark Jr., Místico DQ Héctor Garza, Mr. Águila, Terrible

Rudos won the first fall of the main event, tecnicos took the second. Much like with Black Warrior, Mistico actually hit Lizmark in the third, and Lizmark Jr. soon turned on him. Perro Jr. made an appearance and beating up Mistico with a katana (a wood one, but still – ??) and ripping up his mask. Lizmark Jr. is now a member of Los Perros del Mal. (Perro and Aguila’s team from the circus stunt show was also at the show, but they did not actually join in the beatdown.)

The whole Lizmark Jr. rudo turn is so odd. They’d take a couple steps in that direction, they’d forget about it for seemingly months, and then they’d move towards it again. CMLL teased this particular feud in late April on the GdR shows, but did nothing with it till last night and I had given up on it.

This gives CMLL a nice alternate plan for the big Summer Mistico match, if Perro can’t or doesn’t want to do the hair match quite yet. There was talk Lizmark Jr. could’ve lost his mask last summer (in a tag match with his father against Averno & Mephisto), so it’s not a stretch to imagine him losing it to Mistico this year.

As expected, Sagrado wins this block of Leyenda de Plata, and earns the right to lose to set up a Mistico match next week. First four out were Leono, Loco Max, Texano Jr., Valiente. Ephesto and Averno were in together, and ended up battling to a double DQ with mask ripping and fouls – something’s up here, but it’s not exactly clear. Black Warrior was eliminated by Virus, and Sagrado beat both Virus and Metal for the win.

Sangre ripped off Blue Panther’s mask in the segunda.

CMLL (TUE) 05/29 Arena Coliseo
1) Mini Olimpico & Ultimo Dragoncito vs Mini Damian 666 & Mini Halloween
2) Sensei, Stuka Jr., Tony Rivera vs Caligula, Hooligan, Messala
3) Felino, Mascara Purpura, Mictlan vs Euforia, Loco Max, Nosferatu
4) Heavy Metal, Maximo, Rey Bucanero vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
5) Volador Jr. vs Ultimo Guerrero

I hope that main event eventually gets redone for TV.

CMLL (FRI) 06/01 Arena Mexico
1) Neutron, Stuka Jr., Super Nova vs Arkangel, Loco Max, Nitro
2) Leono, Mascara Purpura, Valiente vs Goto, Ohara, Okumura
3) Blue Panther, Lizmark Jr., Rey Bucanero vs Damian 666, Halloween, Terrible
4) Villano III, Villano IV, Villano V vs Atlantis, Olimpico, Sangre Azteca
5) Mr. Aguila vs Sagrado [LdP, sf]

If you didn’t yelp something negative when you saw the Villano names there, than you’re much better than I. Unless we’re going to find out this week that this is their last match as a unit ever, I’m not sure what they’re doing here.

Looks like the Metro stuff is done, at least with Neutron. Good that the pointless Lizmark turns again match is in the dead spot. In context, Mr. Aguila vs Sagrado main eventing Arena Mexico makes sense, but I don’t how they’re going to draw anyone to this show. Could’ve used a much stronger semimain, and I think the Villanos are close to being it.

CMLL (SUN) 06/03 Arena Coliseo
1) Rayo Tapatio I & Rayo Tapatio II vs Artillero & Zayco
2) Brillante, Trueno, Valiente vs Apocalipsis, Ramstein, Super Comando
3) Dark Angel, Diana La Cazadora, Lady Apache vs Amapola, Medusa, Princesa Sujei
4) Mascara Purpura, Maximo, Volador Jr. vs Satanico, Texano Jr., Virus
5) Blue Panther, Marco Corelone, Negro Casas vs Atlantis, Olimpico, Tarzan Boy

We know it’s one of those three semimian rudos feuding with Maximo, we just have no idea which one since they’re all there this week as well.

TV notes much later

ESTO has an interview with Mistico today. He says he’s at 80% – 85%, but can not raise his left arm completely. That sounds not good. It also sounds like surgery might still be an option; he says he do it if not for the support of the fans. He’s happy he’s facing Hector Garza, Mr. Aguila and Terrible tonight, because he figures if he was facing rivals like Averno, Mephisto or Perro Aguayo Jr., they’d attack the injury shoulder and put him out for a long time. On the other hand, La Presna (and I) figure anyone who’s facing Mistico will be samrt enough to attack that shoulder.

ESTO also has a general preview article and the same injury article Ovaciones had yesterday. Seriously, what do I have to do to be on the CMLL (or AAA) press release mailing list?

Here’s the lineup:

CMLL (FRI) 05/25 Arena Mexico
1) Brillante, Flash, Super Nova vs Apocalipsis, Hooligan, Ramstein
2) Alex Koslov, Blue Panther, Negro Casas vs Mephisto, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca
3) Averno vs Ephesto, Virus, Texano Jr., Leono, Loco Max, Valiente, Sagrado, Heavy Metal, Black Warrior [ciber, LdP]
4) Dr. Wagner Jr., Lizmark Jr., Mistico vs Hector Garza, Mr. Aguila, Terrible

Sagrado’s totally winning. They’re saying Mistico being listed was a “programming error”. Nah. I think they would’ve kept Mistico here if everyone had been healthy, to do another Perro/Mistico match. Since it’s Aguila instead, they’re going to have him at least get one big singles win over a Mistico-alike. I think it’s conceivable Aguila will even beat Mistico, if they want a longer program while Perro is out. If Mistico looks hurt, it’s even more likely – might as well have Aguila beat him up on the way out to set up a much easier to do Mistico/Aguila mask/hair match down the road, they just need to build Aguila up to that level.

Meanwhile…

indy (SUN) 05/27 La Feira de Puebla [El Sol de Puebla]
1) El Hijo del Santo, Super Feria, Super Kiss vs La Serpiente, Monje Loco, Tarahumara

CMLL (SUN) 05/20 Coliseo Coacalco [Black Terry Jr. @ box y lucha]
1) Black Terror, Estigma, Niebla Negra II, Strom b Ave Nocturna, Buitre, Huizar, Super Cometa
2) Rudy Garduno b Niebla Negra I [PROLUM]
3) Black Spider, Black Terry, Celta King, Negro Navarro b Rey de Corazones, Star Boy, Strom, Yakuza
4) India Sioux & Medussa DQ Amapola & Princea Sujei
5) Alex Koslov, Magnifico, Shocker b Atlantis, Efesto, Ultimo Guerrero

Medussa replaced Dark Angel, and naturally turned on her rival India. Efesto started to walk out for his match with no mask on before realizing his mistake. Efesto is a goofball.

AAA (SUN) 05/27 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [rfc]
1) Mercurio, Orus, Virtual X vs Karis, Ramses (Monterrey), The Mummy
2) Mascarita Divina & Sexi Star vs Fabi Apache & Mini Chessman
3) Antifaz & Psicsois II vs Hator & Monsther
4) Crazy Boy, Joe Lider, La Parka Jr. vs Cuervo, Escoria, Ozz

I don’t think Parka’s making this date – it was just a couple days ago where he was way behind schedule. I believe Sexi Star is (or was) out injuried as well. I presume the Mummy split angle has to do with Ramses using his powers as (long dead) egypitian pharoh to take mental control over two of the mummys. Actually, that’s just what I hope the angle is.

CMLL LLA (SUN) 05/27 Gimnasio Nuevo Leon [rfc]
1) Furor & Galactar vs Marrullero & Voltaje Negro

3) Rey Hechizero & Tigre Universitario vs Potro Jr. & Silver Star
4) Stuka Jr. vs Loco Max [super libre]
5) Alex Koslov & Marco Corelone vs Mascara Ano 2000 & Universo 2000

CMLL (MON) 05/28 Arena Puebla [hugo999]
1) Blue Center, Forajio, King Jaguar vs La Mafia, Mr. Rafaga, Murcielago
2) Brillante, Legionario, the Tiger vs Maniacop, Negro Navarro, Siki Osama
3) Euforia, Loco Max, Nosferatu vs Leono, Sagrado, Stuka Jr.
4) Alex Koslov, Mistico, Rey Bucanero vs Averno, Black Warrior, Tarzan Boy
5) Marco Corelone vs Ultimo Guerrero

They’ve been building to that main event for weeks.

MEXICANAL, a tiny channel on DirecTV’s spanish language package, is filming a pilot for a half hour lucha libre show. It should air about a month before the full length season debut, if it gets picked up (which would be a 26 episode load.) The blurb I’m reading about this calls it both lucha libre and “amateur wrestling”, so I dunno what’s going on here. (Thanks to mikeinformer.)

Lourdes Grobets lucha photography will be exhbitied in Madrid, Spain from 05/31 to 07/08.

Milenio has an article on the Blue Demon energy drink as Coca-Cola’s attempt to market to Hispanics.
