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.

ESTO/Purpura’s new gear

CMLL (FRI) 06/29 Arena Mexico EST, Galeon del Mal @ box y lucha, ova]
1) Fabián el Gitano & Metálico b Apocalipsis & Hooligan
2) Dark Angel, Diana La Cazdora, Luna Magica b Amapola, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda
3) Dr. Wagner Jr. & Mascara Purpura b Negro Casas & Stuka Jr. [gran alternativa, qf]
4) La Sombra & Mistico b Heavy Metal & Super Nova [gran alternativa, qf]
5) Dos Caras Jr. & Valiente b Flash & Marco Corelone [gran alternativa, qf]
6) Euforia & Ultimo Guerrero b Super Comando & Villano V [gran alternativa, qf]
7) La Sombra & Mistico b Dr. Wagner Jr. & Mascara Purpura [gran alternativa, sf]
8) Euforia & Ultimo Guerrero b Dos Caras Jr. & Valiente [gran alternativa, sf]
9) La Sombra & Mistico b Euforia & Ultimo Guerrero [gran alternativa, final]
10) Blue Panther DQ Lizmark Jr.

Blue Panther won the first fall clean. The second ended with Garza, Terrible, and Villano V running in, and Lizmark yanking off Panther’s mask again. Panther had to be helped out.

After their semifinal match, Wagner teased a rudo turn and challenged Mistico’s team to a rematch. I would guess this is just random grandstanding.

FWIW, Ultimo Guerrero gave Super Comando the Guerrero Special in their first round match, which meant Euforia was the one to pin Villano V

Metalico hurt his knee in the opener, despite the win.

CMLL (TUE) 07/03 Arena Coliseo
1) Molotov & Trueno vs Messala & Zayco
2) Bam Bam, Bracito de Oro, Celestial vs Mini Halloween, Mini Mr. Aguila, Pequeno Damian

4) Eclipse, Misterioso II, Pierroth vs Felino, Heavy Metal, Leono

CMLL (FRI) 07/06 Arena Mexico

4) Terrible, Villano III, Villano V vs Blue Panther, Dr. Wagner Jr., Sagrado
5) Mistico, Negro Casas, Sombra vs Atlantis, Euforia, Ultimo Guerrero

Probably should’ve seen this one coming – the guy they’re hoping to be their next Mistico is already starting a feud with the guy they’ve positioned as their next Averno.

AAA updated their website with the full cards for 07/01 and 07/06, but no TV tapings past that.

CMLL GdR #83 has
06/22 Mexico: Dark Angel, Lady Apache, Marcela b Hiroka, Mima Shimoda, Princesa Sujei
06/24 Coliseo: Damián 666, Halloween, Mr. Águila b Heavy Metal, Máximo, Sombra
Outside the ring with Texano Jr.

Next Saturday’s FSE lucha libre show is listed as “Dos Caras Jr. vs Universo 2000”, so that should be the episode which has already in Mexico. Beyond that, I don’t know.

No Sunday lineup yet.

CMLL (FRI) 06/15 Arena Mexico [ovaciones, ESTO
1) Bam Bam & Fantasy b Fire & Mini Mr. Aguila
2) Goto, Okumura, Virus b Leono, Mictlan, Valiente
3) Ephesto, Olimpico, Sangre Azteca b La Sombra, Mascara Purpura, Maximo
4) Damian 666, Villano III, Villano V b Atlantis, Tozcano, Ultimo Guerrero
5) Blue Panther, Mistico, Negro Casas DQ Hector Garza, Mr. Aguila, Terrible

Main event saw Perro, Lizmark Jr. and Halloween all run in the third fall. Ovaciones says Mistico’s looking worse and really needs to get out of the ring and rest.

Villanos won their match again in straight falls, this time with a Villano III low blow on Ultimo Guerrero that the referees missed. Guerreros demand a rematch.

La Sombra had a dive gone wrong and was carried out of his match. ESTO says it was a shoulder injury.

Next week’s lineups:

CMLL (TUE) 06/19 Arena Coliseo
1) Fantasy & Tsuki vs Fire & Sombrita

5) Blue Panther, Marco Corleone, Shocker vs Hector Garza, Lizmark Jr., Mr. Aguila

This is the last announced date for the Villanos, though they surely could just keep working here anyway.

CMLL (SUN) 06/24 Arena Coliseo
1) Rayo Tapatio I & Rayo Tapatio II vs Caligula & Zayco
2) Bam Bam, Mini Olimpico, Ultimo Dragoncito vs Mini Damian 666, Mini Halloween, Mr. Aguilita

Mistico’s off the lineups all week.

06/08: Alex Koslov, Marco Corelone, Rey Bucanero b Damian 666, Halloween, Terrible
Out of the ring: with Perro Aguayo Jr. – which ends up being an interview with Perro Jr.’s wife (I presume)

CMLL (FRI) 06/01 Arena Mexico
1) Metalico, Neutron, Stuka Jr. vs Arkangel, Loco Max, Nitro
2) Flash, Sombra, Super Nova vs Goto, Ohara, Okumura
3) Villano III, Villano IV, Villano V vs Atlantis, Olimpico, Sangre Azteca
4) Dr. Wagner Jr., Marco Corelone, Mistico vs Damian 666, Hijo de Lizmark, Terrible
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]
2) Perro del Ring & Skandalo b La Flecha & Ozuno
3) Dark Angel & Marcela b Amapola & Princesa Sujei
4) Corsario b Toro [hair]
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.
