CMLL (MON) 07/08/2013 Arena Puebla [El Popular (cover), Porra Fresa]
1) Blue Center & Espanto Jr. b Asturiano & Fresbee
Rudos took 1/3.
2) Stigma b Espíritu Maligno, Leono, Pegasso, Siki Ozama Jr., Skándalo, Disturbio, Robin, Tigre Rojo Jr., Inquisidor
Eliminations: Inquisidor (Pegasso), Tigre (Disturbio), Robin (Skandalo Driver), Disturbio (Leono), Skandalo (Stigma), Osama (Leono), Pegasso (Espiritu), Leono (Espiritu), Espiritu (DQ when Stigma had Espiritu beat and Skandalo broke the pin.) Everyone brawled post match to set up the cage match next week.
3) Bushiroad, Diamante, Tritón b Cancerbero, Raziel, Virus
Tecnicos took 1/3.
4) Dragón Rojo Jr., Pólvora, Rey Escorpión b La Máscara, Stuka Jr., Titán
Rudos took 2/3.
5) Mr. Niebla, Pierroth, Último Guerrero DQ Atlantis, Diamante Azul, Shocker
Tecnicos took 2/3. UG fouled Azul for the DQ.

So Stigma didn’t actually get the pinfall on Espiritu after all. Hmmm.

Ultimo Guerrero vs Diamante Azul are matched up next week too, so this is the start of a thrilling feud.

Virus kept the CMLL Super Lightweight Championship over San Luis Potosi’s Bogar in Arena Coliseo San Luis Potosi this past Sunday. Virus took the last two falls, and fans threw money in the ring after the match.

AAA’s announced a return to Gimansio Juan de la Barrera on 08/02 for a TV taping. No lineup. Best guess is it airs 08/10 but we’re groping in the dark to figure out AAA’s TV schedule right now. Announced taping schedule right now is 07/15 in Tehuacan, 07/19 Xalapa, this one on 08/02 and then a yet to be announced one 08/16 in Queretaro. Either the DF taping is 2 shows, or there’s another taping to be announced around 08/09. This is a week after the next TxT show in Gimnasio Juan de la Barrera, in case you want to know what Santo will blame poor attendance on.

AAA has also added a profile for a Mascara Sagrada USA. The picture appears to be of the original Mascara Sagrada and the profile suggests it’s that guy. That seems very unlikely, since the original Sagrada and AAA have long battled over who had rights to the name and AAA’s had other people replace him. Maybe AAA locked down a variation of the name? It’s been a long time since that character really meant anything, but AAA likes to protect it’s creations.

Averno says beating Titan was an easy win. That recap says the match had “more than 30 minutes of fighting.” SKEPTICAL.

The mystery Vengador for the WWL show turned out to be Vengador Radioactivo from Xalapa.

Lineups

DTU (SAT) 07/13/2013 Autolavado VM, Tulancingo, Hidalgo
1) Flyer vs Sope Fox, Alexis X, JC MaClean
2) Artikus & Pequeno Cobra vs Lanzeloth & Rocky Lobo and Miedo Extremo & Sacristan
3) Drastik Boy, Hacker, Kaleth vs Black Fire, Hormiga, Jhonky
4) Cíclope, Paranoiko, Slayer Pack vs Ángel o Demonio, Big Memo, Ovett

DTU show this weekend building off Los Porros running in last weekend.

IWRG (SUN) 07/14/2013 Arena Naucalpan
1) Galaxie & Seiya vs Araña de Plata & Fulgore II
2) Astro Rey Jr., Golden Magic, Saruman vs Fulgor I, Imposible, Power Bull
3) Centvrión, Dinamic Black, Veneno vs Decnnis, Oficial 911, Scorpio Jr.
4) Dr. Cerebro, Emo Extreme, Toscano vs Fuerza Guerrera, Heddi Karaoui, X-Fly
5) Eterno & Súper Nova vs Trauma I & Trauma II

Main event will be a fight. Traumas may be outnumbered, since X-Fly is around and Negro Navarro (and Acero?) are not, but they’re the Traumas so it’ll be fine.

Emo Extreme, semimain tecnico, is random even for IWRG. Don’t confuse a Power Bull with a Golden Bull, totally different bulls.

CMLL (TUE) 07/16/2013 Arena Mexico
1) Camaleón & Génesis vs Akuma & Camorra
2) Hombre Bala Jr., Molotov, Súper Halcón Jr. vs Guerrero Negro Jr., Hijo del Signo, Nosferatu
3) Bushiroad vs Hooligan [lightning]
4) Lluvia, Luna Mágica, Silueta vs La Comandante, La Vaquerita, Zeuxis
5) Delta, Guerrero Maya Jr., Máscara Dorada vs Morphosis, Namajague, Olímpico
6) Máximo, Rush, Thunder vs Kráneo, Mr. Niebla, Psicosis

Semimain looks like the best match on the card. Bushi/Hooligan will be fun too, though only the people in the building will get to see it. Dorada/Namajague and Thunder/Niebla are carrying on from last week; one of those sounds great and the other sounds great for very different reasons.

Metalico seems to have gone missing. Maybe laws were passed to block further Signo/Metalico matches, but they got the wrong guy.

CMLL (TUE) 07/16/2013 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Metatrón & Smaker vs Espectrum & Évola
2) Black Metal, Esfinge, Magnus vs Bárbaro Cavernario, Cancerbero, Raziel
3) Fuego, Stuka Jr., Tritón vs Dragón Rojo Jr., Pólvora, Rey Escorpión
4) Atlantis, Blue Panther, Shocker vs Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero, Tiger
5) Mistico vs Volador Jr.

Main event is a rematch from an Arena Mexico show. It could’ve be a bigger deal, since this is Mistico’s hometown arena (or at least his home state arena), but CMLL seems to have stripped the Guadalajara-ness of Mistico La Nueva Era along with everything else.

CMLL (FRI) 07/19/2013 Arena Mexico
***Infierno en el Ring, 2013***
1) Dalis la Caribeña, Goya Kong, Marcela vs Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sugheit, Tiffany
2) La Máscara, Stuka Jr., Titán vs Ephesto, Mephisto, Niebla Roja
3) Atlantis, Diamante Azul, Thunder vs Felino, Mr. Niebla, Pierroth
4) Máscara Dorada, Mistico, Valiente vs Euforia, Último Guerrero, Volador Jr.
5) Shocker vs Máximo, Rush, Brazo de Plata, Blue Panther, Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero, Mr. Águila, Averno, Rey Escorpión [cage, hair, mask]

The Estetas del Aire do team on a Friday against a good, but no significant match on this card besides the cage match. That tercera looks like a struggle, second and fourth look good. Vangelis can win En Busca de un Idolo and would still miss this card unless they add a lightning match.

Virus advances, Averno, Shocker

CMLL (TUE) 05/31/2011 Arena Mexico [CMLL, Record (1-2;4-5), Record (3)]
1) Freesbe & Trueno b Camorra & Zayco
2) Demus 3:16, Pequeño Universo 2000, Pequeño Warrior b Astral, Fantasy, Shockercito
Astral replaced Mascarita Dorada
3) Virus b Fuego, Metal Blanco, Tiger Kid, Dragon Lee, Sensei, Super Halcon Jr., Pegasso [cibernetico, CMLL SL, semifinal]
Teams were Tiger/Sensei/Halcon/Virus vs Pegasso/Blanco/Dragon Lee/Fuego. Eliminations were Pegasso (via Dragon Lee), Halcon (Dragon Lee), Sensei (Metal Blanco), Dragon Lee (Tiger Kid), Tiger Kid (Fuego), Metal Blanco (Virus). Final two were Fuego and Virus, with Virus putting on a “Motocicleta” (one legged campana has a name!) for the win. Virus vs Guerrero Maya for the title next week.
4) Sagrado, Sangre Azteca, Stuka Jr. b Shigeo Okumura, Vangelis, Yoshihashi
Tecnicos took 1/3. Sangre used the counter dropkick to beat Okumura. I didn’t know tecnicos could use that move.
5) Héctor Garza, Psicosis, Volador Jr. b Máximo, Rush, Super Porky
Rudos took 1/3, winning easily in the third.

Next week show is a Fan Appreciation show. There seemed to be a new fame ring announcer on this show.

Rodolfo Ruiz, Averno’s father and CMLL referee, says Averno is going to the WWE.

Shocker says he’s not sure if he’ll wrestle in Friday. He hasn’t actually been cleared to return, but is visiting the doctor this morning. (He did not sound that positive about it on Twitter.  Shocker says he does not mind CMLL stripping him of his the NWA LH title, saying the company has to give opportunity to younger people and hopes they have an outstanding match for the title.

On Sunday, Ultimo Guerrero went to Guatemala’s FMLL promotion and won their Champion Du Monde over Voltron. Ultimo Guerrero was originally said to be defend the Universal Title (which Lyger has) and then just the CMLL World Title. It sure looks like the actual belt he brought to the ring with the UWE Tag Team Championship. Just weird.

IWRG (SUN) 02/13/2011 Arena Naucalpan [Black Terry Jr. (flickr), The Gladiatores, Al Filo del Ring]
1) Imposible & Tonatiuh b Fulgore I & Fulgore II
quick falls
2) El Pollo & Eragon DQ Hammer & Magnifico
Pollo turned on Eragon after Eragon accidentally hit him a few times. Ref waved it off as a DQ. Pollo appeared to join the rudo side after the match.
3) Carta Brava Jr., Comando Negro, Eterno b Alan Extreme, Dinamic Black, Golden Magic
Comando Negro reversed a roll up and grabbed the bottom rope to beat Alan Extreme. Alan shoved the ref for blowing the call. Eterno suffered a wrist injury catching a dive at the end. Golden Magic, replacing the billed Goleador, appears to be a new name.
4) el Ángel, Multifacético, Veneno b Avisman, Destroyer, El Hijo del Diablo
Destoyer’s girl Sherry got involved as usual. She teased kissing Veneno in the third fall, Veneno knocked her away, but Diablo still pinned him.
5) Bobby Lee Jr., Hijo de LA Park, Trauma I b Bestia 666, Hijo de Máscara Año 2000, Hijo de Pirata Morgan
Bobby Lee Jr. replaced Hijo del Pantera. Rudos took the first, tecnicos the second, and Park beat Pirata for the win.

Al Filo del Ring has an interview with Los Gringos.

CMLL (MON) 02/14/2011 Arena Puebla [SporTimes]
1) Black Tiger & Tigre Rojo b Sauron & Siki Ozama Jr.
2) Camorra, Fuerza Chicana, Robin b Camaleón, Freesbe, Lestat
Robin filled in for Zayco. Despite being on the wrong side, he still won. This was Camaleón’s debut in Arena Puebla, and he seems to be showing up much more frequently this year.
3) Sangre Azteca DQ Misterioso II, Loco Max, Ares, Vangelis, Stuka Jr., Sagrado, Metro, Fuego, Delta [cibernetico]
Ares replaced Nosferatu. No order of elimination. Much like Tuesday’s cibernetico, it came down to two guys on the same team. This time, it was feuding Sangre Azteca and Misterioso. Misterioso yanked Sangre’s mask for the rare DQ finish to a cibernetico.
4) Euforia, Pólvora, Virus b Ángel de Oro, Diamante, Rush
Virus snuck in a foul on Rush for the pin. Rush demanded a rematch for next week, and Virus accepted.
5) La Sombra, Máscara Dorada, Super Porky DQ Averno, Mephisto, Volador Jr.
Rudos took the firs, tecnicos took the second, Averno yanked Dorada’s mask in the third fall.

R de Rudo has a really good interview with Heavy Metal about his life long love of music. Metal believes Arena Naucalpan, in the late 80s, was the first lucha libre arena to use entrance music. The building also doubled as an  skating rink (!!) so they had the music and lights already set up.

Mascara Purpura, a second before busting Virus’ forehead/CMLL

CMLL (SUN) 09/14 Arena Coliseo [cmll]
1) Arkangel & Pólvora b Molotov & Trueno
2) Euforia, Hooligan, Nosferatu b Fabián el Gitano, Hijo del Faraon, Metálico
3) Leono, Máscara Púrpura, Tony Rivera b Loco Max, Skandalo, Virus
4) Alex Koslov, Grey Shadow, La Máscara b Damián 666, Mr. Águila, Texano Jr.
5) Blue Panther, Héctor Garza, La Sombra b Averno, Black Warrior, Mephisto

Panther’s on form, beating Avenro clean here. Alex replaced Valinete. Mascara Purpura has new gear (flipped colors) and busted Virus open something fierce. Hooligan continues to be on “replace Halcon Negro” duty. Arkangel replaced Semental, and the CMLL recaped mused about Polvora someday joining the Tuareg. Polvora can do better.

IWRG (SUN) 09/14 Arena Naucalpan [Ovaciones]
6) Dr. Wagner Jr., el Hijo Del Anibal, Multifacético b Fuerza Guerrera, Head Hunter I, Veneno

ESTO has a profile of Princesa Sujei, who wants to take the title and the hair from Marcela, and the mask from Goddess before sending her back to Canada (“I don’t even know what she is doing here.”)

SoloLuchas has an interview with Acuarius, who’s training in CMLL.

Victor recapes the FSE show. Luchaworld has Robert writing about AAA in Toluca in ’06.

Anyways, what a better way to open up a TV show then with – *20 MINUTES OF GREAT MINI’S ACTION*!

That ain’t happening in AAA anytime soon.

CMLL (SUN) 08/05 Arena Coliseo
1) Vaquero & Zayco b Angel Azteca Jr. & Molotov
2) Euforia, Nosferatu, Skandalo b Neutron, Super Nova, Valiente
3) Marcela b Amapola [MEX WOMEN]
4) Heavy Metal, La Mascara, Maximo b Eclipse, Emilio Charles Jr., Satanico
5) Virus b Tony Rivera [hair]
6) Atlantis, Olimpico, Toscano b Dos Caras Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Volador Jr.

Mistico appeared on the show, like he plans for all the shows he will miss (lot of resting he’s going to get in that way), explaining his injury. Dr. Wagner replaced him, which Ovaciones says was “reason why the fight was much better.” I guess Mistico needs to wave at the crowd more while he’s supposed to be selling. When the referee cut off Wagner from attacking Atlantis (when he was down and not moving), Wagner hit the ref and that’s your DQ.

At last report (superluchas), Atlantis was listed as stable in hospital, but they’re still doing brain work.

Both singles matches were said to be good and had money thrown in.

CMLL (WED) 08/01 Gimnasio Marcelino Gonzalez [El Sol de Zacatecas]
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., LA Park, Negro Casas b Eclipse, Olimpico, Ultimo Guerrero
6) Rafaga DQ Super Brazo [hair]

Rafaga is a random local guy. In the third fall, the referee turned rudo to help Super Brazo, until Super Brazo accidentally punched him. Brazo rolled up Rafaga, but it was a DQ. If you’re going to lose your hair three times a year, can’t you at least lose your hair clean? Credibility saving finishes only work if you have crediblity to begin with.

Last Wednesday (before the last show), Dr. Wagner Jr. visited the Zacatecano Sports Hall of Fame, where his father was enshrined earlier this year. He had been unable to been part of Dr. Wagner Sr.’s inauguration.

Perro Aguayo Jr. is interviewed about his return in La Jornada. Notable quote (translated): “It is our obligation to offer an event to the fans that is of quality – real, not a farce.”

Super Luchas #224 has the return of Perro and the injury of Mistico.

Kato Kung Lee @ El Martinete provides luchadors singing and dancing. He is a great man for posting this. I don’t have sound working on this computer, but the video looks like everything I could hope for.

Updated 08/05 Coliseo card

thecubsfan 8 Comments

Matches were added exactly as earlier noted, with some other lineup shuffling. I imagine there’s one person who sketches out the Coliseo stuff, puts together a tentative list, and then has to reconfigure everything when the person in charge of loaning people out for spot shows tells him which undercarders have conflicting (and higher revenue) gigs that weekend.

CMLL (SUN) 08/05 Arena Coliseo
1) Angel Azteca Jr. & Molotov vs Vaquero & Zayco
2) Neutron, Super Nova, Valiente vs Euforia, Nosferatu, Skandalo
3) Marcela vs Amapola [MEX WOMEN]
4) Heavy Metal, La Mascara, Maximo vs Eclipse, Emilio Charles Jr., Satanico
5) Tony Rivera vs Virus [hair]
6) Dos Caras Jr., Mistico, Volador Jr. vs Atlantis, Olimpico, Toscano

It looks like the build to title match will air on the main show, and the title match itself will air on a satellite show? That makes no sense – while I’d hope it’d show up on my TV because it’s The Best Women’s Match Possible, I figure it’ll end up on the main show. Since rudas never win (Diana’s loss excepted), I’m leaning towards Marcela keeping the belt here, though I’m rooting the other way.

I think Virus actually has a chance of keeping his hair, which would’ve been pretty inconceivable a few years ago. I don’t actually see the point of having Tony Rivera get yet another hair win when it’s been years since they’ve done anything while Virus actually has a recent turn and a slight push, but Virus did win the last match.

Teasing me with a trio of Averno, Mephisto and Sangre and pulling it is not very nice.
