thecubsfan

The Crash (FRI) 09/28/2012 Auditorio de Tijuana [The Gladaitores]
1) Black Boy b El Tirano, Fantástico
Black Boy won what was scheduled to be a tag match (no Heilos.) Fantastico put on a MV shirt and attacked Black Boy after the match.
2) Mr. Maldito, Pensamiento Negro II, Sargon b Venum Black, Venum Black Jr., Xtorm [semifinal]
Venum Black Jr.’s debut, losing to a Maldito moonsault.
3) Jonathan, Star Boy, Urzus b Black Spider, Cinico, Viento [semifinal]
4) Mr. Maldito, Pensamiento Negro II, Sargón b Jonathan, Star Boy, Urzus [final]
jumped the winners of the last match immediatley. Maldito again won with a moonsault, this time on Star Boy. MV Promotions ran in and destroyed Mr. Maldito, setting up a promotion vs promotion trios match on 10/12.
5) Zarco b Trauma II [NTW CRUISER]
Zarco, champion, was seconded by usual partner Viento. He toko falls 2/3 to keep the title.
6) Electroshock, Héctor Garza, Tony Casanova DQ Angel Metalico, Blue Demon Jr., LA Park
Angel Metalico & Tony Casanova were added to the match. Straight falls for the tecnicos, Electro caught unmasking Park for the DQ.

CMLL (SUN) 09/30/2012 Arena Coliseo [CMLL, La Catedaral]
1) Bengala & Freesbe DQ Camorra & Espanto Jr.
Tecnicos took 2/3. Camorra yanked Bengala’s mask for the DQ.
2) Hijo del Signo, Molotov, Sensei b Artillero, Hooligan, Súper Comando
Hooligan replaced Nosferatu, who hasn’t been seen in 3 weeks. Hijo del Signo replaced Tigre Blanco and worked on the tecnico side, but did not get along with his partners. Tecnicos still took 1/3 for the win.
3) Dalis la Caribeña, Lady Afrodita, Marcela b La Comandante, La Seductora, Lady Apache
Marcela replaced Luna Magica. Rudas took 2/3 in a poor match.
4) Averno b Guerrero Maya Jr. [lightning]
Averno won in 8 minutes with a super Devil’s Wings.
5) Namajague, Shigeo Okumura, Taichi b Diamante, Hijo del Fantasma, Stuka Jr.
Japan took 1/3. Taichi pinned Fantasma with his version of the Gedo clutch. Fantasma laid on the mat for a while like he was knocked out by the cradle.
6) Rey Bucanero, Tiger, Volador Jr. b Blue Panther, La Máscara, Valiente
Rudos took 1/3. Volador pinned Mascara clean with the superkick and backcracker combo. Volador attempted to challenge Mascara for a title match on the microphone, but the microphone failed (live, fine on the stream.) The idea was still communicated.

Volador/Mascara (#8?) seems like the main event for 10/14, with Fantasy vs Mercurio as the fourth match.

Tons of problems with the feed this week.

IWRG (SUN) 09/30/2012 Arena Naucalpan [me]
2) Alan Extreme, Black Terry, Temerario Infernal b Centvrión, Dinamic Black, Saruman
Temerarios took 1/3
3) Carta Brava Jr. (IWRG), Rayan, Spartan b Carta Brava Jr. I, Oficial 911, Oficial Fierro
straight falls. Brava II/Rayan/Spartan DQed for excessive violence in 1st, Oficials pin Comandos in second. Carta Bravas destroyed each other’s masks. Carta Brava Jr. IWRG was wrestling with an Electroshock-style mask by the end of the match. Mask match challenges followed the match, as did Carta Brava IWRG randomlly challenged for the lightweight title.
4) Comando Negro, Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., Oficial AK47 b Dr. Cerebro, el Ángel, Hijo de LA Park
Rudos took 1/3. Comando Negro was eliminated in the third fall, but used a ref distracted to pull Angel’s mask and set him up for Wagner’s pin. Angel rolled around on the floor with Wagner after the match, and had to be held back from coming after Comando Negro.
5) Hijo de Pirata Morgan, Máscara Sagrada, Veneno DQ Cien Caras Jr., Factor, Hijo de Máscara Año 2000
16:27 (21:33 including breaks), falls 3:17, 3:50, 9:20. Tecnicos took 2/3. Cien rouled Sagrada and pulled off his mask for the DQ. mask match challenges between Pirata and Factor and Cien and Sagrada.

IWRG’s Castle of Terror should be coming up in 4 or 5 weeks, and they’re teasing a lot of mask feuds. That all may be a concidence.

By the way, this GIF includes everything you ever need to know about IWRG. It’s all there.

No detailed results from AAA’s TV taping yet. The Inferno Rockers match was said to be very good, but not even a picture of the new Rocker. Texano again challenged Mesias for a title match.

Titan defeated Euforia by DQ in Guadalajara. It was said to be good from start to finish. Euforia won the first wtih a powerbomb, Titan snuck in a move in the second, Euforia headbutt fouled him in the third. That seems like it’s going to happen to Eufoira a lot.

Haven’t seen anything on the Legend show in Arena Lopes Mateos. This was a busy weekend, and next week is about the same with Heroes Inmortales. We should wait until next Sunday’s lineup comes out for this, but I’m looking for thoughts about when the chat should run (and if people are interested in a chat.) I don’t know that we’ll get any more AAA results then the scattered and incomplete stuff they’ve posted from the last few TV tapings, and there probably won’t be as many other people live tweeting results like for TripleMania. I’m not sure if a chat going from 5 to whenever AAA gets done (11?) is something people are looking forward to; two weeks of doing that schedule and I’m already tired of that schedule! On the other hand, a lot of people who would comment in a chat are usually twittering during the CMLL show anyway, so maybe you ight as well have a chat too.

CMLL posted the Mercurio/Fantasy contract signing video from this week’s CMLL show.

LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update.

SuperLuchas #492 has Canek vs Wagner and interview with Atlantis. A lot of times, it’s the interviewer leading the luchador into making those kind of comments, but Atlantis himself brings up possible retirement unprompted. He says he doesn’t have a when or where in mind but knows it’s coming. It’s very interesting.

It will be sad when Atlatnis gets vetoed for talking to SuperLuchas! (Half kidding?) SuperLuchas got to talk to Atlantis because he was working the FULL show last weekend. That’s suposed to air on AYM Sports some time soon.

Lineups

IWRG (THU) 10/04/2012 Arena Naucalpan
1) Perseus & Vera Miss vs Exorcista Jr. & La Hiedra
2) Centvrión & Saruman vs Imposible & Infierno Kid Jr.
3) Devil Rocker, Machine Rocker, Soul Rocker vs Alan Extreme, Carta Brava Jr., Comando Negro
4) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Negro Navarro vs Factor, Hijo de Máscara Año 2000, Oficial AK47
5) Cien Caras Jr. vs Psycho Clown [IWRG IC HEAVY]
Cien Caras is the champ

Title change is not out of the question.

Tercera could be very good.

Perseus is Sangre Chicana’s son, who’s advanced in QPPLC last year and this. La Hiedra is also from northern Mexico. Exorcista Jr. is a QPPLC from Veracruz last year, and he was also in the Veracruz locals match that turned up on AAA TV before recently starting to appear in Mexico City. Probably not a concidence they all happen to be around at the same time. No idea on Vera Miss.

IWRG (SUN) 10/07/2012 Arena Naucalpan
1) La Parkita & Voladorcito vs Bracito De Plata & Mr. Aguilita
2) Centvrión, Freelance, Gipsy vs Alan Extreme, Imposible, Sádica
3) Carta Brava, Dinamic Black, Golden Magic vs Carta Brava Jr., Comando Negro, Violencia Jr.
4) Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro, Tony Rivera vs Eterno, Oficial 911, Zumbido
5) el Ángel, Hijo de Pirata Morgan, Máscara Sagrada, Pirata Morgan, Veneno vs Cien Caras Jr., Factor, Heddi Karaoui, Hijo de Máscara Año 2000, Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr.

Ten enterances! Main event may not start until 10.

Zumbido and Tony Rivera return, continue to exist. They are as random as the minis.

Sadica is a woman, so Gipsy probably is. IWRG really hasn’t done mixed tag without AAA involement, but this probably would work out better than six random indy women just because of the other four guys involved.

Tijuana feuds, Atlantis & Azul keep their titles, Centella de Oro

AAA MW (FRI) 09/14/2012 Auditorio de Tijuana [The Gladiatores]
1) Angelus & Eternus b Fantástico & Misionero De La Muerte
2) Falcon De Oro & Piloto Nuclear b Tornado Negro I & Tornado Negro II
firs match in years for Oro & Nuclear.
3) Juventud Guerrera NC TJ Boy [AAA CRUISER]
TJ Boy had Juvi pinned with a powerbomb when 8 men ran in wearing Blue Demon masks to attack both TJ Boy and their seconds (Tornado Negro & Extasis; unclear if Juvi is attacked) They revealed themselves to be Ursus, Jonathan, Tony Casanova, Viento, Zarco, Mr. Maldito, Angel Metalico and X-Torm (as leader). Psicosis, Border Patrol, Konnan and the remaining opening card guys ran in for the save, with Konnan promising to invade the Crash show in two weeks.
4) Hijo de Rey Misterio II b Cibernético and El Mesías and Silver King
Silver King pinned both Cibernetico and Mesias with help from Konnan an illegal kicks, Hijo de Rey Misterio beat Silver for the win. Mr. Tempest attacked Rey Misterio after the match to set up a mask match between them.
5) Máscara Año 2000 Jr. & Psicosis b Dr. Wagner Jr. & Joe Lider
Both Mascara and Psicosis started the mask matched, but Wagner took Mascara’s mask off in the second fall. Rudos took 1/3, Psicosis pinning Lider, Wagner pinning Mascara, and Psicosis using the stapler (with the ref not seeing) to beat Wagner.

CMLL (SUN) 09/16/2012 Arena Mexico [CMLL, Kaiser Sports (1-5), Kaiser Sports (6)]
1) Akuma & Guerrero Negro Jr. b Oro Jr. & Robin
Akuma debuted and won with a valagueza, which runs in the family.
2) Fuego, Pegasso, Triton b Cancerbero, Raziel, Virus
tecnicos took 2/3, Fuego beatnig Virus.
3) Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Super Porky b Black Warrior, Misterioso Jr., Olímpico
Tecnicos took 1/3. Warrior blatantly fouled Super Porky.
4) Tiger b Sagrado [lightning]
Tiger snuck in a cradle before pinning Sagrado in 5:10.
5) Marco Corleone, Máximo, Prince Devitt b Dragón Rojo Jr., Rey Escorpión, Taichi
Tecnicos took 2/3. Dragon Rojo & Prince Devitt feuded, though were not involevd in the finish.
6) Atlantis & Diamante Azul b Felino & Mr. Niebla [CMLL TAG]
Atlantis & Diamante Azul are the champs and kept the belts by winning falls 2/3. The musical act for the night played the Atlantis’ music. In a post match interview, Atlantis pointed out that if he’s the “malo amigo” the Guerreros keep calling him, why is he a successful tag champion and they’re breaking up? Azul proposed a title unification match with Stuka & Fuego, and so will never get to book this promotion.

It’s really too bad Atlantis didn’t stick with Party Rock if they were going to have someone play his music live.

JCR mentioned they’d be back in Arena Coliseo next week.

Full results from tonight’s AAA taping should be around tomorrow. Their live reporting ended early, as usually happens. There really can’t be any be a bigger news then Consejo debuting their own fake QueMonito. Such an odd decision for a scary invasion group, but they really haven’t been one of those for a while.

Possibly more Guadalajara results later as well, but we know Hijo del Fantasma & La Sombra beat Mr. Aguila & Vangelis in the main event. Even Hijo del Fatnasma can’t be losing to that rudo team.

Porra Fresa catches up with Centella de Oro, who talks about his career. He says he left Arena Puebla on by his own choice and (like every luchador), has started his own Elite de Oro school.

LuchaWorld posted video of Rush vs Terrible and Puma King vs Rey Coemta, both which are getting very strong reviews. Rob posted his review on his blog.

Rob has highlights of 02/17/12 CMLL and 08/28/12 CMLL.

SuperLuchas #480 has the Anniversary show, Lolita and Cibernetico.

2) Angel Azteca Jr., Samba, Venum b Dr. Karonte I, Dr. Karonte Jr., Lasserman

1) Groon XXX, Lizmark Sr., Sagrado b Emilio Charles Jr., Máscara Año 2000, Pierroth Jr.
2) Místico b el Hijo del Perro Aguayo

This bares little relation to the announced card, but Mistico/Perro is more noteworthy than a trios, I’d think.

MOOR (THU) 04/05 Auditorio de Tijuana [El Sol de Tijuana]
1) Mandigo, Mazambula, Mozambique vs Thunder Boy, Thunder Mask, Thunderbird
2) Enfermero Jr., Pandillero I, Pandillero II vs Kimura, Ninja, Rubi Gardenia
3) Depredador, Espectro Jr., Fobia, Inferno vs Black Panther II, Black Spider, Hijo de Rey Misterio, Rey Misterio
4) Hijo de Santo & Latin Lover vs Blue Demon Jr. & Nicho

A Thursday show, since Friday is Good Friday. According to the report, this is Latin’s last non-AAA booking. Haven’t seen results from last week yet.

Edit: maybe if I paid more attention…

VIVA LA LUCHA (FRI) 03/30 Palenque el Parque Morelos, Tijuana [KrisZ]

1) La Parkita vs Mini Psicosis
2) Octagon & Super Porky vs Antifaz & Pirata Morgan
3) Hijo del Santo & Latin Lover vs Abismo Negro & Fuerza Guerrera

Looks like Santo is going to start working AAA house shows, since he can’t work the CMLL ones. Don’t think this means there’s a deal to get him on TV, but I’m sure things will head that way eventually.

CMLL (SUN) 04/08 Arena Solidaridad [rfc]
1) Flash, Mini Gato Volador, Mini Tigre vs Mini Hator, Mini Mongol, Mini Venum

(Milenio) There will be a three day lucha libre expo in Mexico City, starting May 4th. CMLL and IWRG will participate – AAA’s busy on those days. They’ll have shows, and wrestlers will be selling merchandise. Tickets are 150 pesos ($13.5 US).

CMLL (TUE) 03/27 Arena Coliseo Results [ovaciones]
1) Angel Azteca Jr., Explosivo b Carrona, Zayco
2) Mini Damian 666, Mini Halloween, Mini Mr. Aguila b Tzuki, Shockercito, Electrico
3) Hirooki Goto, Okumura, Ohara b La Mascara, Virus, Texano Jr.
4) Lady Apache b Amapola [CMLL WOMEN]
5) Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Misterioso Jr. b Shocker, Rey Bucanero, Heavy Metal
6) Dr. Wagner Jr. b Averno

The big news is Shocker actually wrestled a scheduled match. The rumors of him going to WWE popped back up over the weekend, but I’ve not heard them come from WWE’s direction.

Ovaciones says just over 2,000 people showed up for this card. I don’t know what they’ve been drawing lately on Tuesdays (just generically “bad”), but it doesn’t seem like this card was as interesting to the people who were buying tickets as it was to me. I guess, not knowing what they’ve drawn previously, this could even be a bump up, but it’s still a low amount. On this night, Wagner wasn’t a draw and the women’s title wasn’t a draw.

Ovaciones was sounded very down on Amapola/Lady Apache (which was three falls) and doesn’t have much to say about Averno/Dr. Wagner. “Dr. Wagner put Averno in his place”, indeed.

VIVA LA LUCHA (FRI) 03/30 Palenque el Parque Morelos, Tijuana Lineup
1) Disco Machine, Karl Anderson, Joey Ryan vs Human Tornado, Lil Cholo, Silver Tiger
2) Pancho Cachondo, Animaniac, Shamu vs Viernes 13, Tazmania, Scream
3) Super Astro, Venum Black vs Angel Mensajero, Psico
4) Genio del Aire, Iron Boy, Luminoso vs Phoenix Star, Zokre, Cobra II
5) La Parkita, Octagoncito vs Piratita Morgan, Espectrito
6) Los Ice Creams vs Jigsaw, Lince Dorado
7) Xtreme Tigre vs Mortiz
8) Nicho, Juventud Guerrera vs Rey Misterio, LA Park

This is a co-promoted show with TJ’s lucha commission, a free show, and a pilot TV taping. ‘ccording to El Sol de Tijuana, it’s for a Yet To Exist US Combat Sports network, which, well – it’d be nice if it happened, let’s say it like that. PWI says it’ll be G4, so I may have to get over hating that network if this makes air. Since this is just a pilot, it’s far from sure it’ll ever be air anywhere.

I’m guessing this is two (or more) shows combined into one taping. Whoever’s doing this seems to have a clue, because they’re making the local stars the headliners instead of the random US/Canada indy guys, which seemed like an issue with the US-ish run RLLX in Guadalajara (though I guess we should remember that it probably didn’t matter who was on top given the billon other things that seemed to go wrong for that group.)

I wish I loved Xtreme Tiger as much as everyone who books him. I presume PWG is providing the film crew and that’s why their guys are working the opener. Sixth match is from CHIKARA; whoever did the poster I’m looking at had it listed as “Los Helado Atomico”, and it wasn’t untll I looked at the PWI article that I realized someone had translated “Ice Cream”. PWI also says Cobra II is TJ Perkins in one of his dozen masked gimmick – he wrestled under that name once in Arena Coliseo.

Do you think LA Park is going to be BANNED FOREVER from Arena Mexico for working a show with AAA worker Juvi (and Nicho, maybe)? I’m thinking no.

indy (TUE) 03/27 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [rfc]
1) Rey Morgan ?? Jimmy Navarro
2) Erin Snake b Angel Negro
3) Ejecutor b Ultraman Jr.
4) Konnan King b Huracan Ramriez Jr.
5) Silver Star b Silver Cat
6) Pancho Tequila b Golden Boy

They failed to deliver Nygma vs Silver Cat! What a fraud.

Ovaciones confirms Friday’s show will be on PPV, and mentions that tickets will be on sale today at Arena Mexico. That ticket mention is a twisted way of saying* the Ticketmaster deal is off, I believe. There’s still no ticket listing at the site. This week’s Figure Four Weekly has a story on the situation. Ticketmaster typically adds a flat processing on every ticket, as do most similar ticket services. That fee would be a big increase to the cheaper tickets, so CMLL would rather Ticketmaster just take a percentage of the ticket cost. Neither side has budged – Ticketmaster doesn’t need CMLL, and CMLL rather do things their own way. Ovaciones mentioning that you can buy tickets at Arena Mexico and not even addressing the ticketmaster situation is the usual (highly annoying) way of addressing the issue by not addressing it all.

There ARE Ticketmaster alternatives – MLB owned Tickets.com, for one, so maybe they’ll look around for a better deal.

Ovaciones also has stories on Niebla, Oriental, and Super AAA visiting a home from special needs children, and La Parka Jr. perhaps going rudo.

El Halcon #89 is up. They’ve got an interview with La Mascara (who credits Skayde and Negro Navarro for helping him with classic lucha elements), second part of the Cibernetico interview and a Vaquero Q&A (he says he’s once won the world Minis title – ?), as well as features on the original Ray de Jalisco and the fourth part of it’s look back at the original El Halcon.

AAA posted a news update, confirming the Rey de Reyes bits we’d heard elsewhere – Rey Misterio to appear, 4 teams in the final (though they still don’t explain how).

Tonight’s the Tijuana Box Y Lucha commission banquet.

Fantastic piece of gossip which I believe came from the Observer, but I don’t recall 100% off the top of my head, so let’s just source it to Steve Sims: Recall how Latin Lover complained about Intocable and Elegido stealing his gimmick, and refusing to come back to AAA unless they were gone? He kinda got his wish. Those two guys are still with AAA, but AAA’s promised Latin that any show he’s booked on, they won’t be. Check for yourself – Latin’s worked the 03/03 taping and will work Rey de Reyes, and Intocable and Elegidio have the night off.

One other newsbit I’m sure came from the Observer – when Mistico did his WWE tryout, besides working with Dean Malenko, he also worked with Jamie Noble. That sounds like the greatest thing ever; Noble could SO be WWE’s Averno. Of course, I probably think way to highly of Noble – if you told me Mistico would get buried for 2 years in WWE but have a series of 10+ min matches with Jamie Noble on Velocity Redux, I’d strongly consider it – so don’t listen to me

02/28: Monterrey, Tijuana, Neza

CMLL updated their site, but didn’t post Tuesday results yet. Ovaciones covers the Arena Mexico lineup change and has an interview with Super Muneco about the upcoming mask match.

indy (TUE) 02/27 Arena Coliseo Monterrey
1) Corazon Adicto & Hooolywood b Red Flamer & Sky
2) America Salvaje, Pancho Tequila, Vudu b Golden Boy, La Kalaka, Silver Star

2) Armagedon, Burrito, Rey Apostol vs Black Diamond, Gardenia Azteca, Rosa Salvae
3) Corazon Adictor, La Kalaka, Sky vs Difuno II, Difunto I, Ejecutor
4) Casasnova, Huracan Ramirez Jr., Silver Star vs Al Barone, La Sombra, Vudu
5) Axel, Black Draogn, Golden Boy vs Hijo de Espanto II, Pancho Tequila, Potro Jr.
6) Rayo de Jalisco vs Konnan Big, Hijo de Solitario, Hijo de Anibal [hair, mask, FILL HEAVY]

Okay, Konnan Big must’ve lost the match versus Rayo where Rayo put up the FILL Heavy and Konnan Big put up his hair, because Rayo’s been champ since. But if Konnan Big is putting up his hair here – that means he didn’t get shaved either, right? That wouldn’t be the first time for Konnan Big and this group.

I’d presume Rayo’s dropping the title back here and probably finishing up with this group soon. There’s some talk they might do a Rayo/Solitario mask match eventually, but no one’s losing their mask here.

There’s more about upcoming big shows here on lo mejor de lucha (scroll down to RFC’s 02/28 post.)
