12/01 Arena Mexico Preview

thecubsfan 4 Comments

Actually, the big show tonight is the Mistico vs Hijo del Diablo mask match in Tijuana. (So big, I listed it twice.) There’s even a bigger looking CMLL show in Mexico City, by the VIP promotion:

CMLL (FRI) 12/01 Salon 21, DF
1) Leono, Tigre Blanco, Tigre Metalico vs Dr. X, Nitro, Sangre Azteca
2) Dark Angel & India Sioux vs Amapola & Hiroka
3) Dr. Wagner Jr. & Hijo del Santo vs Blue Demon Jr. & LA Park

With Santo in town elsewhere, and Mistico out of town, why were they even considering running a PPV on this day? Maybe they were slow in realizing the schedule.

Anyway, the not-major, not-PPV card is:

CMLL (FRI) 12/01 Arena Mexico
1) Tigre Blanco & Tigre Metalico vs Loco Max & Ramstein
2) Mascara Purpura, Sagrado, Virus vs Alex Koslov, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca
3) Atlantis, Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero vs Damain 666, Halloween, Hector Garza
4) Dr. Wagner Jr., Universo 2000, Volador Jr. vs Averno, Kenzo Suzuki, Mephisto
5) Dos Caras Jr., Rey Bucanero, Shocker vs Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Marco Corelone, Mr. Aguila

The big draw here is Perro’s return to Arena Mexico. This is his first match since losing the trios title match, and I wonder if his return means they’re finally going to pick up the Shocker turn in that match. All the Perros except Terrible (and Blue Demon, sorta) are on the show, and the champs are teaming up against a Perro group in the tercera, so something’s happening. Maybe it’s not a coincidence that none of those guys are yet booked for the 12/15 show – that’d give another needed strong match to the show.

Note that the big build to Shocker/Universo vs Marco/Kenzo has them split into different matches, with Corelone and Universo notably not in the same one. If there’s anything to them having issues, this would seem to back it up.

CMLL (FRI) 11/24 Arena Mexico Results [notimex]
1) Danger, Valiente b Apocalipsis, Ramstein
2) Ohara, Okumura, Sangre Azteca b Fabian el Gitano, Leono, Virus
3) La Mascara, Sagrado, Volador Jr. b Averno, Mephisto, Misterioso II
4) Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Heavy Metal b Damian 666, Halloween, Terrible
5) Kenzo Suzuki, LA Park, Marco Corleone b Rey Bucanero, Shocker, Universo 2000
Marco got revenge, with the win and causing Universo to bleed from – well, here they say the arm, CMLL.com seems to indicate the face.

Notimex says the Universo/Shocker vs Kenzo/Marco hair match is being moved to 12/15. CMLL is citing the 10 stitches Corelone took to the back of his neck from Universo’s chair shot last Friday as the reason – he’s not cleared to participate in a hair match so soon.

You may note that Corelone is scheduled to compete this Friday and did so last Friday. I guess the idea is he’s still wrestling, but won’t be back to 100% till then, and CMLL wouldn’t sanction a match of such a magnitude unless everyone was at 100%.

Unless I missed it, Accion had no highlights this week.

Haven’t seen results for Arena Mexico yet, but Super Luchas says next week’s hair match is off. I figure that means no PPV as well, but that’s not confirmed.

Mano Negra was the loser of the 12 man hair/mask tournament, ultimately losing his hair to El Hijo del Santo. (Mr_Alzahreb @ Satanico’s Manson)

Guerreros del Ring is airing:
11/17 Mexico: Fabian el Gitano, Leono, Texano Jr. vs Arkangel, Loco Max, Sangre Azteca
11/19 Coliseo: Mistico, Ultimo Dragon, Volador Jr. vs Black Warrior, Tarzan Boy, Ultimo Guerrero
Unmasked: Rey Bucanero

OELL 05/14 show

I don’t know if I’m going to write up a proper recap, because there’s not much I want to say and it wasn’t like I was taking notes, but the one big point to hit was the main event.

1st version (when they were just running Congress): Universo, Cien, Mascara vs Perro, Pierroth, el Hijo del Pierroth
2nd version (listed online): Mascara and Cien vs Pierorth and el Hijo del Pierroth
3rd version (on the program we were given): Universo and Cien vs Pierroth and el Hijo del Pierroth.
4th version (actual match): Universo and ??? vs Pierroth and el Hijo del Pierroth.

The ??? totally threw us – it was some guy I don’t think I’ve seen, and also wasn’t a local guy. His gear was similar Averno’s, but he was a little bit bigger. He also didn’t seem to have worked much with Universo before, because they had to do a lot of communicating on tag spots.

I want say Tijuan’s Rey Infernal, but I don’t know if I’m thinking of the right guy.

Anyway, the main event was good. Exactly what you’d expect it to be – yes, they had belts – but Universo was really making it work. Extremely loud slaps. Overturned finish.

I didn’t dig the undercard near as much. Tyme Page did follow thru on his promise to kick a midget, but they were avoiding him and Sagrada doing much together because of the size. Everything else – let’s not say too much about.

They’re running at Congress tommorow, if you still want to check it out. Unless they said something after I left, there was no word about the June show.
