CMLL (TUE) 12/26 Arena Coliseo Results
1) Karissma, Sombra de Plata b Carrona, Vaquero
2) Sensei, Starman, Valiente b Artillero, Super Comando, Zayco
3) Apocalipsis, Dr. X, Ramstein b Fabian el Gitano, Leono, Tony Rivera
4) Nitro, Sangre Azteca, Terrible b Danger, Texano Jr., Virus
5) Averno, Mephisto, Olimpico b Heavy Metal, Negro Casas, Sagrado

Odd to see Karissma working tecnico. Carrona is an unmasked guy who can never seem to face the camera when they’re taking a picture. Danger replaced Mictlan – CMLL hasn’t posted anything on his injury. Terrible cheated to help his team win that match. You see how Averno won the main event.

This would be the perfect time of year to run an Arena Coliseo Tag Team Title tournament.

CMLL (TUE) 12/26 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara Results
1) Virgo b Impostor
2) Neon b Flama
3) Antrax b Valentin Mayo
4) Nube Roja b Danger (Guadalajara)
5) Egipcio b Super Maquian
6) El Gallo, Metro II DQ Mascara Magica, Toxico
7) Hijo de Pierroth, Okumura, Pierroth b Rayman, Rey Bucanero, Satanico

In the main event, Rayman had Pierroth pinned, but there was no ref. Someone from the crowd pounded the mat three times, and Rayman assumed that must’ve been the ref. Pierroth fouled him and got the win.

AAA LG (WED) 12/27 Unidad Deportiva Miguel Aleman Valdez Results [El Sol de Bajio]
1) Enigmatica L Polvo de Estrellas and May Flowers and Cinthia Moreno and Rossy Moreno and el Piero [cage, hair]
2) Charly Manson b Zorro [MEX HEAVY]
3) El Elegido, La Parka Jr. b Abismo Negro, Chessman

Before the show, the first match was listed with just the Morenos and the Exoticos, and I was amazed they were actually having a ‘star’ lose their hair at a spot show. Apparently, I’m a mark.

BAJA (MON) 12/25 Auditiro de Tijuana Results [the gladiatores]
1) Phantom, TG Power, Spank b Mascara Negra, Wama, El Galeno
2) King Azteca, Fobia, Pandillero II, Fabuloso Hernandez, Karisma, Cien Caras Jr., Pierroth Jr. b Pandillero I, Tornado Negro [blindfold, sf]
3) Pandillero I DRAW Tornado Negro [blindfold, final]
4) Angel Blanco Jr. b Super Astro [WWA MIDDLE]
5) Rey Misterio Sr., Hijo de Rey Misterio b Super Parka, Nicho
6) Mil Mascaras, Rayman, Shocker DQ Damian 666, Halloween, Mr. Aguila

The 2/3 matches were probably just supposed to be one – it was one of an escape elimination match (you pin someone, you’re leave) with everyone wearing blindfolds. The last two guys somehow ended up in a draw. The writer called it ‘the match of the year’, not because it was that good, but because it seemed to go that long. The Blanco/Astro match was good and there were apuesta challenges in the Misterio/Nicho/Parka match.

indy (MON) 01/01 Arena Mexico San Luis Potosi Lineup [Sol de SLP]
1) Sombra del Misterio vs Leopardo [Centro WELTER]
2) Cholo Mayor, Danys Boy, Lagarto vs Tigre del Ring, Mensajero, Creazy Star
3) Sabu Jr., Black Fantasy, Fuerza Maligna vs Super Liger, Goblin, Brujo Cosmico [Centro TRIOS]

indy (SUN) 01/02 Arena Coliseo Monterrey Lineup
1) Burrito vs Corazon Adicito
2) La Kalaka & Nacho Libre vs Ejecutor & Mixteco
3) Golden Boy vs Vudu
4) Mascara Pupura vs The Beast
5) Estrella Dorada Jr. vs Potro Jr.
6) Pancho Tequilla vs Humberto Garza Jr.
7) Dulce Poly vs Bandida [FILL FEMENIL]

The Beast’s manager? La Bella. They’ve been doing a mixed tag feud involving the two women in the main event, but it’s surprising (to me, anyway) that it ends up with the women and not the men in a big match.

This is the odd picture of someone in an Olimpico mask on the main page of Bell South‘s website. It’s a teaser for a Weird Jobs article, but they don’t list “luchador”.

12/22: Negro, Perro, Warrior suspended in Tijuana

Muerte Cibernetica
back when he wasn’t lost at sea

Negro Casas, Perro Aguayo Jr., and Black Warrior have been suspended from wrestling in Tijuana for a year. The Box Y Lucha commission is suspending them for actions on a show last Friday:

– Black Warrior attacked a fan who either attacked him or threw something at him.
– Perro Aguayo Jr. had his trunks pulled down by Santo
– Negro Casas mooned the crowd.

El Sol de Tijuana has the commission’s side. They’ve suspended Latin Lover in the past for similiar incidents, so they’re being consistent. By suspending Warrior, they want to make it clear that they’re not allowing the fans to do stuff to the wrestlers, they’re going to be insisting on better work by the security companies (or changing them altogether) and they’d like the police to be at some of these shows to help throw out unruly fans when necessary.

Twelve months is an awful long time to suspend these guys. I don’t have a big problem with it Black Warrior’s case, but a year’s suspension for pulling the trunks down seems high, because that’s a spot done with no (public?) penalties elsewhere in Mexico. It’s also been pointed out (rafasilva) that Santo is mysterious escaping prosecution here, despite being the one who pulled down Perro’s trunks.

I didn’t hear anything about any of this until people started talking about it on message boards yesterday. If what happened was this offensive, you’d think someone would’ve said something about it much sooner. Maybe I missed it?

Suspensions took effect on Wednesday and run till 12/20/07. All the local promoters and CMLL have been informed they can not use these three guys in Tijuana until the suspension is up.

CMLL (TUE) 12/19 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara Results
1) Milenio b Thunder Boy
2) Fraile de la Muerte b Estrella de Jalisco
3) Asesino Negro b Lider
4) Azazel b Guero Loco
5) Fabian el Gitano, Gallo, Metro II b Hombre Sin Nombre, Mascara Magica, Toxico
6) Cien Caras Jr., Mascara Ano 2000 b Leon Blanco, Rayman
7) Mistico b Ultimo Guerrero

Rayman was going for a top rope springboard when the top rope, and he fell hard. Last I heard is he’s alright. The CMLL report was all “when you’re doing athletic things, sometimes bad things can happen”.

AAA (MON) 12/18 Gimnasio Municipal Irapuato Results [El Sol de Irapuato]
1) Chiva Rayada I, Chiva Rayada II b Muerto Viviente I, Muerto Viviente II
2) La Parkita, Mascarita Divina, Mascarita Sagrada b Mini Abismo Negro, Mini Charly Manson, Mini Chessman
3) Brazo de Plata Jr., El Brazo, Oriental b Chris Stone, Pirata Morgan, Pirata Morgan Jr.
4) Charly Manson, Chessman, Cibernetico b Cuervo, Espiritu, Ozz, Scoria

Zorro’s out due to injury, so Oriental replaced him in the tercera. Muerte Cibernetica was supposed to be part of the main event, but he’s still trapped in that coffin.

AAA posted a lot of pictures from the Toluca taping on their website.

ESTO has quick bios of Volador Jr. and Averno, leading into their title match today. (They kinda give away that El Hijo del Cien Caras is not related to Cien Caras.)

11/20: Monterrey, Magazines, Halcon

Been waiting all day for Arena Coliseo results, but no luck. No lineups or AAA results either.

Zorro has a leg injury and is out of action. (lomejordeluchalibre)

Magazines
Super Luchas #188 cover is on Cibernetico’s return.
Super Luchas Grafico #19 is all about TNA
Luchas 2000 #344 pushes the Lizmark Jr. rudo turn, which was teased for about one week (and mostly just in Luchas 2000), and hasn’t existed since. Huh.

A new Halcon, 78 is up.
– Interview with Alex Koslov. It sounds like he was originally hoping to go to Japan via the New Japan Dojo, but they sent him to Mexico instead, and he’s really turned out to enjoy it – to the point where he wants to build himself a career in Mexico and isn’t looking at any US or Japan work in (at least) the short term. He’s down on the craziness of the indies (and TNA), and has really enjoyed facing guys likes Blue Panther, Virus, El Hijo del Santo and Ultimo Guerrero, so I think he’s going to work out okay. He’d like to face Mistico in a mask/hair match, and his goal is to improve himself to the point where he’s at a level to make that a more realistic possiblity.

– Arena Queretaro results

CMLL (TUE) 11/14 Arena Queretaro Results
1) Zarna b Cometa Negro
2) El Rojo, Principe Valiente Jr. b Drabek I, Drabek II
3) Fuego Latino, Ozuno b Lince I, Lince II
4) Alex Koslov, Hombre sin Nombre b La Mascara, Texano Jr.
They would be building up a title match between Mascara and Alex, but you may have noticed Alex is not Mexican and can’t fight for it.
5) Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero DQ Dr. Wagner Jr., Shocker

To be honest, I’m not sure of the top two results at all. I’m completely useless when google translate won’t work.
– Q&A with Okumura. In Japan and Canada (when was he in Canada?), going out to clubs was a big thing with fellow wrestlers, but no one seems to be into it in Mexico, which is disappionting. At the same time, he doesn’t like to drink tequilla (his favorite drink in noisy bars. He’s a complicated man.
