02/17: Mexico results, DF lineups, GdR

ESTO

CMLL (FRI) 02/16 Arena Mexico Results [ovaciones, notimex, ESTO]
1) Mini Violencia, Pierrothito b Mini Fantasy, Shockercito
2) Eclipse, Mascara Ano 2000, Universo 2000 b Blue Panther, Lizmark Jr., Negro Casas
3) Volador Jr. b La Mascara, Sagrado, Sombra de Plata, Metro II, Leono, Super Nova, Virus, Mephisto, Alex Koslov, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca, Felino, Stuka Jr., Valiente, Averno [ciber, reyes de aire]
4) Hector Garza, Mr. Aguila, Perro Aguayo Jr. b Atlantis, Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero [CMLL TRIOS]

Elimination order: Sombra de Plata, Super Nova, Valiente (ESTO said he was among the best tonight), Metro, Leono, Misterioso II, Stuka Jr., Virus, Felino, Alex Koslov, Sagrado, Averno, Mephisto, and La Mascara.

Final was Volador vs Sangre, with a Spanish Fly (still in desperate need of a Volador specific name) to win. If Volador ain’t picking up the CMLL Welterweight Title, perhaps he’ll go after the Mexican one. Felino/Alex got the required double pin, and Sagrado got the required injury (ESTO says he hurt his legs going thru the ropes?) Notimex has a triumphant Volador interview.

Perros won clean in the main event, with Tarzan ending up hurt. Both sides relatively respectful after their outcome.

Next week’s card are up:

4) Felino, Mitclan, Ogun vs Misterioso II, Okumura, Emilio Charles Jr.
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Heavy Metal, Lizmark Jr. vs Black Warrior, Universo 2000, Mascara Ano 200

The official story is that we don’t know if Corelone and Koslov are tecnicos or rudos any more. I’m thinking Universo always would like to be a rudo and adjustments are being made, but we’ll see how it develops this week.

CMLL (THU) 02/15 Arena Puebla Results [Intolerancia via box y lucha]

CMLL (SUN) 02/11 Arena Coliseo Results [cmll]
1) Polvora, Vaquero b Rayo Tapatio I, Rayo Tapatio II
2) Hooligan, Loco Max, Ramstein b Starman, Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metalico
3) Leono, Stuka Jr., Virus DQ Mogur, Ohara, Okumura
4) Maximo, Sagrado, Texano Jr. b Arkangel, Misterioso II, Nitro
5) Dr. Wagner, Lizmark Jr., Negro Casas b Eclipse, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero
6) Mistico b Black Warrior

Vaquero and Tigre Blanco were carted out in the first two matches. Stuka replaced Mascara Purpura in the third, note on that below. Mogur fouled Leono to end that match, so Leono/Mogur is indeed an upcoming hair match. Note the Mexican Trios champs teamed up and won, so no program there. Wagner beat Ultimo in the semimain with help from the ropes, as previously noted. Warrior won fall one of the main, but Mistico won the last two with a casita and la Mistica.

Alexis’ report notes this has been five straight Sunday shows with Mistico, and five straight full arenas.

Ovaciones has a couple injury notes
– Flash suffered a right arm injury on Sunday. It required surgery, and he’ll be out for “several” weeks. No replacement has been announced for the Rey de Aires. Who would it be?
– Mascara Purpura may have been your answer, but he’s also hurt. It’s an ankle injury, and he’ll be out six weeks.

So, young high flying guy, and we’ve already got La Máscara, Sagrado, Sombra de Plata, Volador, Metro, Leono, Super Nova, Flash, Sangre Azteca, Felino, Stuka, Valiente, Misterioso, Averno, Mephisto, Alex Koslov – Astro Boy? Danger? Trueno? Fabian? No, not Fabian.

The Perro/Garza/Aguila vs Tarzan/Ultimo/Atlantis trios match has been turned into a CMLL Trios title match (instead of waiting til next week to do it.)

IWRG (SUN) 02/11 Arena Naucalpan Results
1) Zella b Francotirador
2) Extrano, Vampiro Metatlico b Celestial, Simbolo
3) Antaris, Bacteria, Star Boy b Super Colt, Trauma I, Trauma II
4) Avisman, Black Terry, Fantasma de la Opera b Cerebro Negro, Freelance, Suicida
5) Misterioso II, Pierroth, Veneno DQ Electroshock, Esfinge, Negro Navarro

Pierroth faked a foul in the main event. Freelance and Avisman are still feuding, as are Veneno and Electroshock.

IWRG (SUN) 02/18 Arena Naucalpan Lineup
1) Mr. Randal vs Volcan Negro
2) Bacteria, Antaris vs Black Jaguar, Vampiro Metalico
3) Coco Rojo, Coco Verde, Coco Blanco vs Camorra, Avisman, Supremo Jr.
4) Suicida, Freelance vs Black Terry, Avisman
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Mascara Sagrada, ? vs Pierroth, Black Pentagon, Bestia Salvaje

They’ve got Avisman listed in two matches. Gotta be a typo.

Guerreros del Ring #74 has El Elegido.
Box Y Lucha 2805 has Nicho in AAA and Fuerza vs Juvi.

Espanto Jr. is selling a Best of DVD, including his mask match with El Hijo del Santo. The article includes a phone number, if you’d like to call Mexico. Get a copy for me.

Rest of the week lineups are below.

02/09: Mexico

CMLL (FRI) 02/09 Arena Mexico Results [ova, superluchas]
1) Molotov, Sombra de Plata b Carrona, Cobalto
2) Lady Apache, Luna Magica, Marcela b Amapola, Medusa, Princesa Sugieth
3) Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto b Blue Panther, Lizmark Jr., Satanico
4) Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mr. Aguila, Terrible b Atlantis, Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero
5) Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero b Black Warrior, LA Park, Marco Corelone

Shocker is MIA again, replaced by Dos. Rudos got DQed in the first fall for either excessive violence or Warrior hitting a ref (which is kinda excessive violence). In the second fall, Universo showed up to get Corelone. Park and Warrior cut him off, but it still allowed Dos to get Marco with a German suplex, and Rey beat Warrior to win the match in two falls.

Perro challenged for another trios shot after their win, and it sounds like they’ll be getting it, just not yet.

CMLL lineups are up for next week.

CMLL (FRI) 02/16 Arena Mexico Lineup
1) Shockercito, Mini Fantasy vs Pierrothito, Mini Violencia
2) La Mascara vs Sagrado vs Sombra de Plata vs Volador Jr. vs Metro II vs Leono vs Super Nova vs Flash vs Averno vs Mephisto vs Alex Koslov vs Misterioso II vs Sangre Azteca vs Felino vs Stuka Jr. vs Valiente [ciber, rey de air]
3) Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Tarzan Boy vs Perro Aguayo Jr., Hector Garza, Mr. Aguila
4) Marco Corelone vs Universo 2000

The top two matches are both non-title matches.

CMLL (TUE) 02/13 Arena Coliseo Lineup
1) Espiritu Maligno, Karissman vs Cobalto, Carrona
2) Trueno, Sensei, Starman vs Zayco, Polvora, Vaquero
3) Marcela, Sahori, Luna Magica vs La Nazi, Rosa Negra, Medusa
4) Satanico, Mictlan, Virus vs Pierroth, Okumura, Emilio Charles Jr.
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Shocker, Sagrado vs Black Warrior, Averno, Mephisto

CMLL (SUN) 02/18 Arena Coliseo Lineup
1) Mini Olimpico, Bracito de Oro vs Sombrita, Fire
2) Valiente, Super Nova, Flash vs Hooligan, Apocalipsis, Ramstein
3) Texano Jr., Virus, Leono vs Mogur, Nitro, Arkangel
4) Blue Panther, Mictlan, La Mascara vs Misterioso II, Alex Koslov, Ephesto
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero, Dos Caras Jr. vs Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Olimpico

Mogur’s facing Virus and Leono on both scheduled appearances, so it’s got be a feud with one of them. Probably Leono.

No AAA results yet.

GdR:
unmasked: Bird Boy
01/26 Coliseo: Dr. X, Misterioso II, Shigeo Okumura b Mascara Purpura, Metro, Virus
02/04 Mexico: Felino, Maximo, Sagrado vs Alex Koslov, Ephesto, Apocalipsis

I screwed up the Gala listings, skipping the 01/15 taping that’s actually airing now.

02/08: Coliseo, IWRG, Monterrey

CMLL

CMLL (SUN) 02/04 Arena Coliseo Results
1) Bracito de Oro, Mini Fantasy b Fire, Mini Violencia
2) India Sioux, Luna Magica, Sahori b Amapola, Medussa, Rosa Negra
3) Fabian el Gitano, Metro II, Satanico b Arkangel, Loco Max, Nitro
4) Felino, Maximo, Sagrado b Alex Koslov, Apocalipsis, Ephesto
5) Black Warrior, Misterioso II, Olimpico b Dr. Wagner Jr., Heavy Metal, Mistico

Loco Max apparently now believes he’s Spider-Man. It happens.

CMLL (TUE) 02/06 Arena Coliseo Results
1) Bracito de Oro, Mini Olimpico b Fire, Sombrita
2) Artillero, Super Comando, Zayco b Danger, Sensei, Trueno
3) Hooligan, Loco Max, Nitro b Leono, Stuka Jr., Valiente
4) Mictlan, Ogun, Satanico b Alex Koslov, Emilio Charles, Okumura
5) Dos Caras Jr., Heavy Metal, Rey Bucanero DQ Atlantis, Sangre Azteca, Ultimo Guerrero

Tarzan Boy missed both shows, being replaced by Misterioso II and Sangre Azteca in the main events. Ultimo Guerrero decided he rather foul than lose by pinfall in the main event.

Tecnicos were winning the segunda, but Sensei got hurt and carried in the second fall and the military took advantage of the numbers.

IWRG (SUN) 02/04 Arena Naucalpan Results
1) Francotirador b Meteoro
2) Muerte II, Muerte III b Celestial, Golem
3) Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro, Suicida b Black Terry, Cyborg, Macho II
4) Dos Caras, Electroshock, Virus b Enterrador 2000, Okumura, Veneno
5) Avisman b Freelance [hair]

Avisman won in straight falls. That’s gotta suck. There were challenges for Veneno/Electro and Terry/Suicida.

indy (SUN) 02/11 Arena Coliseo Monterrey Lineup
1) Borrico, Burrito vs Armageddon, Rey Morgan
2) Guerrero Griego, Red Flamer vs Cazador, Tormenta Negra

5) Dulce Poly, Humberto Garza Jr. vs La Bella, the Beast [FILL MIXED TAG]
6) Hijo de Espanto II, Konnan Big, Medico Asesino Jr. vs Axxel, Huracan Ramriez Jr., Ultraman Jr.

At the Olimpico Laguna show today, Sultana del Norte has been pulled from the main event, and replaced with Ultimo Guerrero. Is that an upgrade? That sounds kinda like an upgrade.

LA Times Calendar Live has a story about things to do on Valentine Day, including Lucha Va Voom shows on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. I don’t read many articles that refer to Blue Demon Jr. as “ultra-sexy”.

Adolph Moreno, founder of IWRG, will receive an award from Naucalpan tonight at the show. (Ovaciones)

02/02: Guadalajara, Box Y Lucha, Mexico

CMLL (TUE) 01/30 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara Results
1) Mileno b Virgo
2) Neon b Valentin Mayo
3) Destroyer b Exterminador
4) Mr. Power b Azazel
5) Leon Blanco b Egipcio
6) Mascara Purpura, Stuka Jr. b el Hijo del Pierroth, Emilio Charles Jr.
7) Máscara Año 2000, Pierroth, Universo 2000 b Lizmark Jr., Negro Casas, Rayman

Hijo del Pierroth turned up to foul Rayman in the main event, and Pierroth took the pin.

Random Guatamela lucha card.

Box Y Lucha posted a bunch of articles on Wednesday, and I keep forgetting to write about them.
Brazo de Plata is angry about others advertising themselves as “Porky”, or “Porkys, specifically his brothers. He feels they’re leeching off his success, and the only people who should be using his name or nicknames is himself and his son. He doesn’t believe they should even call themselves the Brazos, because the Brazos were only Brazo de Oro, Brazo de Plata and el Brazo – all the others might be brothers, but they’re all imposers. He’s okay with then calling being Nuevo Brazos, but he doesn’t want the public deceived.
Brazo de Oro clears up the family tree, except I still don’t know who/if Brazo Jr. is related too. His story of the names seems slightly different than what I’ve read before; Shadito Cruz was nicknamed “Man with the Golden Arm” for a while and Oro started out using that “Hombre de Brazo de Oro” name. Mil Mascaras complained to him that his look was too similar, so they redesigned his outfit and his name to Brazo de Oro. Porky asked his father if he could use Brazo de Plata, and his father as Oro, who said okay; same with El Brazo. When Brazo de Oro was out due to kidney surgery, Super Brazo took his place in the trio, and so on from there. I think Brazo de Oro’s point is they all got their name, directly or indirectly, from Shadito Cruz’s nickname, so they all have the right to call themselves Brazos.
Misterioso II tells his story of the fan incident. Pretty much what he said before, though he adds a few details: despite contrary reports, the fan was not a kid (he was old enough to get in a bar later that night), he missed those Coliseo shows as punishment for his actions in addition to a fine, and the fan never protested to the commission but he’s still apologizing for everything. Rambo writes about his own experiences with fans throwing stuff at wrestlers.
a list of past February deaths, including Huroki Sito (unclue of Panico and Black Cat), Acorazado Moreno (father of the AAA Morenos), El Cobarde I, and El Santo.

CMLL (FRI) 02/02 Arena Mexico
1) Flash & Super Nova vs Artillero & Super Comando
2) Mascara Purpura, Texano Jr., Virus vs Arkangel, Hooligan, Loco Max
3) Lizmark Jr., Maximo, Ultimo Dragon vs Averno, Mephisto, Sangre Azteca
4) La Mascara, Mistico, Volador Jr. vs Damian 666, Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mr. Aguila
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero, Shocker vs Atlantis, Marco Corleone, Ultimo Guerrero

Ovaciones has a profile of Marco Corelone. Corelone claims that if Shocker is 1000% Guapo, that means Marco is 1000000% Guapo. The exchange rate is brutal. Esto has an article on Rey Bucanero. Rey would like to fight for Ultimo Guerrero’s mask, but figures he’d have to put up more than his hair to get a shot at – probably his whole career. Elsewhere in that paper, Rey hopes for a title/title match with Atlantis, and pushes the Corelone/Shocker feud.

CMLL is pushing the semimain as a dream team of young stars versus the Perros. Semimain should be something between Ultimo Dragon and Sangre Azteca again.

01/26: Mexico lineup change, Guadalajara, AULL, SLP

CMLL

The top two matches for tonight’s Arena Mexico show have changed.

Originally, it was
4) Dos Caras Jr., Lizmark Jr., Universo 2000 vs LA Park, Marco Corelone, Último Guerrero
5) Místico, Rey Bucanero, Shocker vs el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Halloween, Terrible

CMLL.com now lists
4) Lizmark Jr., Shocker, Universo 2000 vs LA Park, Marco Corelone, Último Guerrero
5) Místico, Rey Bucanero, Dr. Wagner Jr. vs el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Halloween, Terrible

Esto echos those changes in it’s preview, but also has late breaking info that Universo 2000 will miss the show due to a shoulder injury, and his replacement is TBA. Esto also says the Lizmark Jr. rudo turn is off, though Notimex thinks it may go down.

off topic: I wonder if they were thinking of doing a father/son mask match with the Lizmarks, and that’s why he was turning rudo? I’m a little too interested in figuring out how Lizmark’s losing his mask, I think.

ESTO also has an interview with Atlantis. He’s hopeful he might get that mask match with Dr. Wagner in 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007!

CMLL (SUN) 01/21 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara Results [cmll]
1) Imposter b Virgo
2) Golden, Idolo b Mr. Trueno, Valentin Mayo
3) Anthrax, Carlo Roggi DQ Danger (Guadalajara), Depredador
4) Ephesto, Infierno b Fabián el Gitano, Gallo
5) Blue Panther, Heavy Metal, Shocker b Atlantis, Eclipse, Olímpico
6) Rey Bucanero b Último Guerrero [CMLL LH]

Bad day for the Guerreros, as the report notes.

AULL (SAT) 02/27 Arena Lopez Mateos Lineup [el halcon]
1) Tortugullio Ninja II, Tortugullio Ninja III vs Supremo Jr., Rambo Jr.
2) Astro Boy, Robin Maravilla vs Dr. Karonte I, Dr. Karonte Jr. [AULL Tag, 2nd, torneo]
3) Coco Rojo, Coco Verde vs Cerebro Negro, Fantasma de la Opera
4) Rey Bucanero, Ultimo Gladiador, Terry 2000 vs Olimpico, Sadico, Rey Krimen

CMLL (WED) 01/31 Plaza de Toros El Paseo Lineup [Sol de SLP]
4) Felino, Maximo, Rayo de Plata Jr. vs Sangre Guerrera, Dr. X, Sabu Jr.
5) Mistico, Blue Panther, La Mascara vs Averno, Mephisto, Ephesto

This previews is so weird. They hype up the show by saying “Felino’s coming! Felino’s awesome, ain’t he? And Magadan will be there, and he sure says some controversial things. Also, Mistico.” This is the Arena Mexico San Luis Potosi crew (/Rayo de Plata’s promotion), and so they’re taking this Sunday off from their weekly show, and handing out awards instead. They’ve already announced the winners

Wrestler: Rayo de Plata Jr.
New Wrestler: Salome
Rudo: Sabu Jr.
New Rudo: Black Fantasy
Special Mention: Sombra del Misterio, Lover Boy, Fuerza Maligna, Leopardo

El Siglo de Torreon has an extensive breakdown of the upcoming wrestlers license season. Every Thursday till the end of February, between 6 and 8, wrestlers can go to Auditorio Municipal de Torreon, get their required physical and pay 100 pesos ($9US) to pick up their license for 2007. If they wait to March, it’s 120 pesos for the license and 50 pesos for the physical. Currently, there are 140 active wrestlers in the local area.

Also in March, they’ll test any trainees who want to get licensed – they’ll have to work before three well known (but yet to be decided) local people from the scene, who will decide if they’re qualified to be in the wrestling ring. I’ve read about this in the Box Y Lucha regulations, but I wasn’t certain this was something they still did. It’s kinda awesome. Things are significantly less stringent in the US.
