CMLL/seeing is believing

CMLL (SUN) 07/08 Arena Coliseo [Alvin @ el Martinete, Ovaciones, CMLL]
1) Rayo Tapatio I & Rayo Tapatio II b Caligula & Messala
2) Bam Bam, Pequeno Olimpico, Ultimo Dragoncito DQ Mr. Aguilita, Pequeno Damian 666, Pequeno Halloween
3) Leono, Sagrado, Tony Rivera b Eclipse, Misterioso II, Okumura
4) Mascara Ano 2000, Sangre Azteca, Ultimo Guerrero b Alex Koslov, Marco Corelone, Volador Jr.
5) Dos Caras Jr. b Universo 2000 [CMLL HEAVY]

Dos won clean. He actually tried for the press slam into a German suplex, but that wasn’t happening on Universo. He got a small package instead. The idea is the Heavyweight title is the missing piece to turn Dos from a top guy to a top guy people actually pay to see. That would be nice, but I see a couple problems here

– this is a Coliseo feud, taking place on FSLatin America in Mexico. I dunno ratings in Mexico, but it seems like only a fraction of the audience that watches the main show (much more accessible) would see this. If you really wanted to make this mean something, you do in Arena Mexico, you do it on the main TV show, and you do it on Friday so it makes all the lucha magazines this week. Unless they spoiled the finish to the magazines to get them to hype it, this won’t be covered till next week, right as they’re selling TripleMania coverage

– As sarcastically pointed out in the comments and assuming they follow up on this (and they should), who could Dos Jr. wrestle that would actually be interesting? Universo again? No. (though we’ll get some of that, and this match was said to be better than expected.) Lizmark Jr.? No (though we’ll surely get some of that.) Eclipse? (Gosh no.) Corelone’s a tecnico, thankfully.

There’s a big hole in Mexico where good heavyweights should be (though that problem seems to be global for wrestling.) They could always have Light Heavy type rudos wrestle Dos, but there doesn’t seem to be any obvious Step 2 to this plan.

In the minis match, Damian fouled Bam Bam. Usually challenges after the match, nothing agreed to. He got a small package instead. The show drew close to a sell out.

Some notes from Konnan on last night’s Wrestling Observer Live, as mentioned in the comments. Much of the show as Chris Benoit and other talk. Very little on TripleMania itself – they ran over a list of US guys expected in, and most of the rest of the AAA talk wasn’t event specific.

– The Planned US Expansion continues on…being planned. Usual bit about being an untapped market, drawing well for other promoters even who don’t have AAA’s sensibilities. They plan to have 4 US PPVs in ’08, which I took to mean Rey de Reyes/TripleMania/Verano de Escandalo/Guerra de Tiantes rather than them running shows in the US that air on PPV.

AAA plans on doing shows in the US in ’08. The guy who got them on the Warped Tour is going to be promoter for the US shows. The idea of the Warped Tour is just to get their name out there. AAA may end up creating a splinter promotion for the US shows, depending on regulation issues, but the same people (Konnan) would be in charge.

– Konnan talked highly of Dorian Roldan, making the transition from a college student who came to AAA shows and work concessions to a workaholic who has a hand in the storylines. Konnan said something like “now we have storylines, we used to just have a lot of run-ins”, which made me laugh out loud. It’s totally true.

– Konnan likes what they’re doing now – he cited the Air Force members by individual names and he likes the Hell Brothers as a group, but wants to continue improving. Production is emphasized, as always. (There’s more he said here, but I want to relisten to it to get it right before committing to it.)

Based on his comments during another part of the show, I think you’ll see AAA bring in some US indy guys/(gals?). He’d for sure bring in some TNA guys if they were freed from the their TNA contracts. Konnan is actually still under TNA contract for a year, but he figures as long as he doesn’t wrestle in the US, it’s not worth TNA’s time to fight him about it.

– Rikishi and Black Pearl are confirmed for coming in for TripleMania

– Abismo & Niebla were off TV due to rehab.

– Octagon showed up to a TV taping drunk, and Konnan took him off TV as punishment. That’s how we’ve ended up with Juvi/Fuerza.

– Konnan’s kidney surgery will not be until after TripleMania (and the Leon taping), assuming his donor matches him. He wanted to do it this week, but AAA asked for him to be around for TripleMania. He’s going to be in the hospital for three weeks, and then new a couple weeks after that to get in shape, but hopes to be in the ring soon after. (That would be – late August/September?)

Konnan figures the tecnicos will get a huge reaction when they finally get him to take a bump. I think the tecnicos will get a big reaction, but it’s more because he’s a star and he hasn’t taken a bump in a while. Konnan’s interfered a lot and the tencicos haven’t got anything back on them, but Konnan’s interference is always when all the rudos are beating up all the tecnicos – it never changes the match, and gets lost in the fifteen other things going on. But we’ll see how it plays out.

AAA (SUN) 07/08 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC
1) Barba Roja & Hijo del Pirata Morgan b Invasor & Mercurio
2) Aguila Extrema & Rey Imagen b Monje Negro Jr. & Pirata Morgan Jr.
3) La Chola, Monsther, Rey Infernal b Brazo, Estrellita, Virtual X

3) Dark Angel & Luna Magica b Hiroka & Mima Shimoda
4) Averno & Mephisto b Hijo de Solitario & La Mascara
5) Atlantis, Hector Garza, Olimpico DQ Heavy Metal, Mascara Purpura, Mistico

Dos Jr. was scheduled in the main event, but of course he was elsewhere. Purpura got bumped up, and Soliatrio was put in his place.

CMLL (SUN) 07/15 Auditorio de Tijuana [RFC]
1) Kid Azteca, Pandillero I, Pandillero II vs Extasis, Silver Star, Star Boy
2) Atlantis, Blue Panther, Sangre Azteca vs El Camaleon, Hijo de Rey Misterio, Rey Misterio
3) Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila vs Alex Koslov, Rey Bucanero, Sagrado

El Sol de Tlaxcala has a brief preview of the 07/28 taping. Not much more than Mesias and Cibernetico will be fighting (like every show) and Tinieblas Jr., Zorro, Intocable, and La Parka Jr. will appear.

Super Luchas #220 has the WWE tour.

Team Skayde In Japan, DAY 1 (07/08 Dragon Gate Arena) – via DGUSA
1) Super Shisa (Pentagon Black), Jorge Rivera (Skayde) b The Tuborman (Turbo), Shisa Boy
4) Naruki Doi, Black Thunder b Tozawa, Matt Sydal

Should I know who Shisa Boy is? I think I’m supposed to. Slippin’.

I swore I saw Toryumon Mexico results, but I can’t remember where. Maybe I’m just thinking of Black Terry’s video.

RFC says the building was 75% full, and the gran prix was quite good.

1) Brazo de Platino & Texano Jr. b Rocky Santana & Solar I
2) Villano III & Villano IV b Negro Navarro & Rambo
3) Villano III & Villano IV b Brazo de Platino & Texano Jr.
4) Maximo & Sagrado DQ Mascara Ano 2000 & Universo 2000
5) Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone, Rey Bucanero b Atlantis, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero

This is the Signo tribute show, and pretty well shuffled from what was originally announced. There were matches before these, but no results and they didn’t match original listings. Later in the thread, someone mentions India Sioux appeared but didn’t wrestle due to a (broken?) nose operation.

CMLL (SUN) 07/01 Arena Coliseo [ova]
1) Astro Boy & Trueno b Carrona & Zayco
2) Euforia, Nosferatu, Satanico b Felino, La Mascara, Valiente
3) Bam Bam, Shockercito, Fantasy b Mr. Aguilita, Pequeno Damian, Pequeno Halloween
4) Alex Koslov, Heavy Metal, Volador Jr. b Atlantis, Olimpico, Sangre Azteca
5) Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone, Rey Bucanero b Toscano, Ultimo Guerrero, Universo 2000

Dos pinned Universo clean in the main event, which does set up a title match next week. I’m far less believing of a title change than Bihari. I can’t believe Universo will actually lose this title til five minutes after it happens. (I can’t believe Universo still has the phyiscal belt either, so maybe I’m just a skeptic. Or maybe there will be panicked cleaning at the ranch this week.)

Fantasy replaced Shockercito in the minis match, which was bumped up to tercera.

Tracking the minis…
06/24 SUN Coliseo: 2) Mr. Aguilita, Peque�o Damian 666, Peque�o Halloween b Bam Bam, Peque�o Ol�mpico, �ltimo Dragoncito
07/01 SUN Coliseo: 3) Bam Bam, Shockercito, Fantasy b Mr. Aguilita, Peque�o Damian 666, Pequeno Halloween
07/08 SUN Coliseo: 2) Ultimo Dragoncito, Pequeno Olimpico, Bam Bam vs Pequeno Halloween, Pequeno Damian 666, Mr. Aguilita

Bam Bam is the only constant on the tecnico side, though Olimpico and Dragoncito are showing up twice.

About five months late, CMLL tickets are on TicketMaster. (Assist to Wagner_Driver @ box y lucha.) Only for this Friday’s show. It looks like they’re not offering all the seats – the cheapest seats don’t appear to be listed.

AAA’s upcoming cards list Abismo Negro on a 07/28 show. Typo?

Zocalo.com.mx has a really good interview with Nicho, about his life in wrestling. He talks about WWE a bit, but also about the start of his career – Pena gave him the Psicosis name, but the gear actually came from a friend who didn’t get picked up by AAA and so couldn’t use it, and it just happened to work out beautifully.

Both Box Y Lucha 2825 and Super Luchas 219 have Chris Benoit on the cover. ByL teases Big Show in Mexico, which I would presume to be the TripleMania rumor.

Sicodelico Jr. moved onto the second round in the NWA World Heavyweight Championship tournament, beating Roughneck Ryan. He moves onto the quarterfinals to face Claudio Castignoli. Logically enough, that match will take place at a CHIKARA show on 07/21 in Wallingford, CT.

Before that match, Sicodelico Jr. will team with Incognito in a triangle match for the NWA World Tag Team Titles. The other two teams are Billy Kidman & X-Pac and Joey Ryan & Karl Anderson (who would seem to be the safe bet.)

Noticas-Oax.com.mx writes about lucha libre stars making the jump to other TV work (mentioning Mistico, Latin, Demon and Intocable.)

SLP indy wrestler El Divino suffered a bad leg fracture, and will be out around six months. BTW, here’s your daily SLP AAA article, this time about Gronda.

Another El Sol de Tampico article about the Atlantis vs Wagner vs Park show there tomorrow.

4) Damián 666, Halloween, Mr. Águila b Heavy Metal, Máximo, Sombra
5) Tozcano, Último Guerrero, Universo 2000 b Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone, Rey Bucanero

Dos Caras hurt his knee on a dive in the second fall, but managed to continue. For that, he was fouled and pinned by Universo. Some sort of rematch will be added for this week, but nothing’s been announced. Didn’t sound like a title match quite yet, but it could be a singles.

Sombra replaced Mascara Purpura and his side lost in two falls. Stuka replaced Mictlan.

This is the card so far for Sunday

CMLL (SUN) 07/01 Arena Coliseo
1) Astro Boy & Trueno vs Carrona & Zayco
2) Bam Bam, Shockercito, Tzuki vs Mr. Aguilita, Pequeno Damian, Pequeno Halloween
3) Felino, La Mascara, Valiente vs Euforia, Nosferatu, Satanico
4) Alex Koslov, Heavy Metal, Volador Jr. vs Atlantis, Olimpico, Sangre Azteca

Robert’s reading much more into Valiente and Euforia being in the same match than I am. Tercera is about Valiente’s position right now, I think this was just the usual random match generator.

This was part of a Lourdes Grodet photo exhibition. Of course, can’t have a clean finish here – Ultimo yanked Rayo’s mask.

3) Felino, Maximo, Sagrado vs Arkangel, Dr. X, Misterioso II
4) Alex Koslov, Mistico, Rey Bucanero vs Mr. Aguila, Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero

This is a 9 PM start, so they could stretch it to go long regardless. Still, if Mistico & UG have to be in Mexico State later in the night, does that affect how long they’ll be in Arena Mexico?

The press release about AAA working the Warped Tour is here. Same lineup as previously noted (Angel, Psicosis, Decnis – which frees up the spot for Alfa on the atomico team, Mini Charly – I wonder if he’ll meet Other Mini Charly?, Mini Chessman, Super AAA, Piero as ref and it sounds like Dorian Roldan as management.) There’s a couple of lines that boggle my mind, though.

For over 14 years AAA has been the premier wrestling league in Mexico, and enjoys a near 80% share of ticket sales domestically.

“80% of tickets sold?” Where did that number come from?

Antena3 writes about Santo and Scorpio Jr. in Madrid.

Misterioso, Cassandro and Mascarita Sagrada were among luchadores at a show in Salt Lake City Tribune.

Magazines
– Super Luchas #218 has Cibernetico and Latin Lover about to shake hands
– Luchas 2000 #374 has Cibernetico and Latin Lover shaking hands
– Box Y Lucha #2824 has neither Cibernetico nor Latin Lover, but the teased departures mentioned previously. I believe they’re just teases at this point, as if either guy could show up at the other side’s next big show, or not at all. Still not sure what Warrior’s deal is (I’m guessing money, as other people take his spot vs Mistico), but Intocable’s problem seems to be the continued Latin Lover vs Other Dancing Gimmicks deal.

5) Místico, Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero b Damián 666, Halloween, Misterioso II

Misterioso II logically replaced Mr. Aguila – I don’t know why CMLL thought Aguila could work both this and Cinco Magnificos show – and Sangre fouled Blue Panther in the semimain. That’d be a fun feud, I wonder if Panther is still a middleweight.

Negro Navarro wins the 1st stage of the maestro tournament VIP is running. Black Terry was the runner up, which earns him another shot in the five man battle on the next show.

That’s CMLL’s Trueno working the weekly AOL show.

(Box Y Lucha Foro) Danger says it was not him who video taped unmasked luchadores backstage with a cell phone. What he really needs right now is someone else to say it wasn’t him.

Magazine
* LUCHAS 2000 #372 has Espectro Jr. deciding if he’ll put up his mask and Mistico winning the LdP.
* Super Luchas #216 has Mistico winning the LdP. Inside, in the last notes column, the magazine notes that AAA isn’t (and shouldn’t) be happy about lineups being leaked. This includes the TripleMania one, which we’re still not sure of – everyone’s only using the original thread as source. I’m thinking the lineup is what AAA has down on paper, but they might not have all the foreign names confirmed at this point.

El Zocalo de Monclova has an interview with (masked) Mascara Ano 2000 and Universo 2000. Things have never been as good as the first couple years of the 90s when Cien had his mask match with Rayo and Mascara beat Anibal for his mask; it’s never like the old days. If this blog goes 50 years (and it won’t), I vow to just write cranky posts about The Old Times Were Better. Universo says he’s talking to two guys about possibly carrying on his name (it has to be two with this crew) – his daughters have no interest in lucha libre and he wouldn’t let them get in the business anyway.

There was also a press conference in Monclova before the first CMLL show there in some time, but the paper doesn’t appear to have results.

El Sol de Tlaxcala has an interview with indy wrestler Astro Aereo. He says he’s been wrestling for 10 years, trained by Tarahumara and is hoping to break into Arena Puebla.

04/10: Parka Jr., IWRG, Monterrey, Puebla,

cmll

La Parka Jr. will be out an extended period of time due to injury. He’s got an interview today in La Presna, where he explains he was driving to Zamora but a tire blew out and things got worse from there. Parka Jr. thought he had a spine injury at first, but it turned out to be just a shoulder. The article, via translation, says his right shoulder is “completely destroyed”, but then also says he’s going to start rehabbing it soon, so I’m not sure the extent of it. He’ll be out a few weeks at least, and should be considered off any upcoming cards.

Title match went to a fourth fall after the third was a double DQ. Yamato got busted open in his match, but rallied back to win, and the description says that sets up a hair match between these two teams, but it’s not in the cards for this week.

5) Shocker b Universo 2000

Loco Max hurt his ribs on a dive. Mistico pinned Averno clean with La Mistica; the rudo fans here were chanting “SANTO” at him as a taunt. I don’t know how that actually works. Shocker beat Universo with a foul.

El Heraldo de Chiapas has an interview with Tiffany. Her goal for the year is to take Fabi and Estrellita’s hair.

On a radio show, Mascara Ano 2000 said his ‘kids’ would be debuting in CMLL in late May.

Another article about the lucha libre expo here.

The Monclova is threatening to drop the hammer on local luchadores, according to Zocalo. Out of the 45 local wrestlers, only 1 has gotten licensed. They’ve got 11 days left till the deadline, OR ELSE. I don’t recall anything actually happening when the Torreon ByL commission threatened the same.

ESTO

CMLL (FRI) 03/30 Arena Mexico [ova, Galeno del Mal @ box y lucha, SuperLuchas, ESTO]
1) Dark Angel, Lady Apache, Marcela b Amapola, Hiroka, Mima Shimoda
2) Black Warrior, Misterioso II, Tarzan Boy b Leono, Sagrado, Volador Jr.
3) Atlantis, Olímpico, Sangre Azteca b Damián 666, Halloween, Mr. Águila

5) Místico & Último Guerrero b el Hijo del Perro Aguayo & Héctor Garza [ri]
6) Marco Corelone b Universo 2000 [hair]

Ovaciones reports an attendance of over 12,000. If that’s right, this lineup has to be considered a success; I wouldn’t have guessed they would do over 10,000.

Before the main event, they honored Salvador Lutteroth and Huracan Ramirez, with members of their families accepted plaques. Among the family members for Huracan Ramirez was Axxel, which was surely the point of the exercise. He wasn’t announced as coming in, but you’ll see a little bit lower than others are joining next week.

Main event had Cien Caras cheating for Universo (till Cien got ejected) and Bucanero cheating for Corelone. Universo didn’t want to take the hair cut, so Rey attacked him post match to settle him down. This was a bad match, but of course it would be. The rest of the card was said to be about what you’d expect – ESTO and others thought it was better than expected.

First fall of the semimain was Perro fouling Mistico and getting caught, second fall was Ultimo fouling Hector and not getting caught.

Tecnicos won in the fourth match, despite Lizmark going rudo. From reading the non-CMLL.com recaps, Lizmark Jr. might have wrestled the match as a normal tecnico, and just announced after the match that was it for him being a tecnico.

ESTO has an article about Huracan Ramirez, Salvador Lutteroth and past Dos Leyendas main events.

Next week’s cards:

CMLL (TUE) 04/03 Arena Coliseo Lineup
1) Bracito de Oro, Celestial vs Sombrita, Fire
2) Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metalico, Danger vs Super Comando, Artillero, Hooligan
3) Leono, Fabian el Gitano, Satanico vs Loco Max, Euforia, Noseferatu
4) Maximo, Virus, Mictlan vs Mephisto, Ephesto, Misterioso II
5) Shocker, Marco Corelone, Alex Koslov vs Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, Sangre Azteca

Euforia and Noseferatu are (supposedly) new wrestlers. I believe Celestial is the opening match worker for IWRG, and this would also be his debut.

CMLL (FRI) 04/06 Arena Mexico Lineup
1) Super Nova, Flash vs Ramstein, Apocalipsis
2) La Mascara, Maximo, Valiente vs Okumura, Ohara, Goto
3) Atlantis, Tarzan Boy, Sangre Azteca vs Dr. Wagner Jr., Rayo de Jalisco, Alex Koslov
4) Mistico, Sagrado, Marco Corelone vs Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Blue Demon Jr., Mr. Aguila
5) Ultimo Guerrero vs Hector Garza

Main event makes sense based off yesterday’s finish. Blue Jr. and Rayo Jr. are surprises (guess Rayo shouldn’t have given it away months ago). Apparently, Blue Demon Jr. is still a Perro! Rayo teaming up with Wagner is just wrong.

This is the show that probably won’t make TV, because it’ll be a PPV reair week. Which makes me wonder why they started Ray and Demon this week – they’re here to look relevant and get on TV, and they won’t be this week. They must be around for a while.

CMLL (SUN) 04/08 Arena Coliseo Lineup
1) Espiritu Maligno, Karissma vs Vaquero, Carrona
2) Valiente, Super Nova vs Super Comando, Artillero
3) Virus, Flash, Leono vs Loco Max, Dr. X, Nitro
4) La Mascara, Volador Jr., Maximo vs Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila
5) Shocker, Marco Corelone, Alex Koslov vs Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Hector Garza, Terrible

It’s like they couldn’t decide which tag match to use as the opener, so they just are going to run them both. Odd.

CMLL (WED) 03/28 Centro de Convenciones, Madreo [anto_141286 @ box y lucha]
1) Dark Angel & Lady Apache b Amapola & Princesa Sujei
2) Stuka Jr. b Danger, Valiente, Virus, Super Nova, Leono

4) Alex Koslov, Brazo de Platino, Marco Corelone b Ephesto, Mephisto, Misterioso II
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. & Místico DQ Averno & Black Warrior

No tag team title match, Negro didn’t make the show.

GdR has

03/23 Mexico: Alex Koslov, Rey Bucanero, Volador Jr. b Ephesto, Mephisto, Misterioso II
