CMLL on FSE
For the show that aired on Dec. 2, 2007

They open the show with Negro Casas ouside the arena looking at the masks for sale outside the arena. Black Warrior says he wants Negro Casas' hair.

Stuka Jr., Maximo, Valiente                   vs
Ohara, Shigeo Okumura, Misterioso II

1st Fall:  Stuka and Okumura open the show trading basic moves. Stuka does a standing splash and gets a two count. Then Maximo and Ohara get in and stall a while then do some comedy, Maximo kisses him. Misterioso and Valiente get in and trade moves, Misterioso gives him an enzuigiri, it looked like Valiente was gonna go a moonsault outside, but slipped off the ropes, and just fell outside. Maximo does a butt bump and pins Okumura. Stuka does a backward tope off the ropes and pins Ohara. A Dr. is checking on Valiente.

2nd Fall:  Valiente was taken away it's now 3 on 2. The rudos are beating down Maximo. They submit Maximo. Misterioso gives Stuka a belly to belly suplex. They then submit Stuka together. Lasted only seconds.

3rd Fall:  It's still 3 on 2 but the Tecnicos are making a comeback. Maximo gives Misterioso a butt bump in the corner. He then does the same thing to Okumura. Ohara however gets kissed by Maximo. Misterioso gets a figure four leg lock on Maximo and Maximo submits quickly. Misterioso does a Gory Special on Stuka and pins him for the win. Valiente never came back. Okay match, but the injury to Valiente seemed to screw it up.

Ultimo Dragon, Negro Casas, Alex Koslov              vs
Black Warrior, Olimpico, Sangre Azteca

1st Fall:  Koslov speaks spanish pretty good now. Azteca and Casas start it off trading moves. The rudos then abruptly go into a beat down of the tecnicos. Warrior pins Casas with the majistral cradle, Casas' move but the camera missed it competely, they were watching the brawling outside.

The trivia question was what were the 3 more important titles Ultimo Dragon has won by his own estimation? The answer was the WCW Cruiserweight title, the WCW TV title, and the NWA middleweight title. I sure wouldn't have guessed those.

2nd Fall:  The rudos continue the beat down for a few more minutes. Koslov starts the come back with a enzuigiri on Warrior. Casas does his silla outside to Warrior. Another enzuigiri to Azteca then Koslov submits him with a Crippler Cross Face. Dragon pins Olimpico after a Asai Moonsault DDT.

3rd Fall:  Casas and Warrior are trading moves back and forth. Koslov and Azteca go at it, with Azteca getting another enzjuigiri. Dragon busts out his moves on the rudos. Dragon does a moonsault outside to Olimpico. Koslov holds Azteca in a head lock while Casas pins Warrior a Casita/Majistral. Tecnicos win. Warrior issues a hair vs hair challenge. I thought this match was okay.

That wraps up the show, my reviews are at http://vicsixx42.spaces.live.com.

Galavision AAA Lucha Libre Show for 11/17/07

AAA Lucha Libre Show for Nov. 17, 2007

Yes, I'm still around. I'm reviewing this because the AAA show was only 2 hours, not 3, which is alot better. For me it was like asking would you like getting beaten over the head for 3 hours or for 2? Huh, I'll take 2, thanks. This featured the wrestling return of Konnan and Scott Hall.

The show opens with the commentators paying tribute to Antonio Pena. Which the whole show was dedicated to.

This was a lights out match, or match taking place in Day-Glo colors:
Psicosis, Histeria, Mr. Niebla                    vs                 El Elejido, Octagon, Alebrije with Cuije

1 Fall:  Everybody was wearing some neon glowing stuff on some part of their costumes. Octagon and Histeria started it, and the tecnicos get to put their moves on the rudos, until the rudos break out thier day-glo bats and beat the tecs with them. Some chair shots are also given out. Psicosis does a Frankensteiner on Alebrije. The rudos put Cuije into a Tapatia. Cuije does a low blow to Niebla, and the tecs start their comeback. Niebla does a tope to Alebrije, and Elejido gets a gang beating, and Histeria does a spring board moonsault to him, and Elejido is gang pinned.

A giant Medallion is brought to the ring by Joaquin Roldan with two girls, Pena is on it, and it goes to the winner of the Pena Elimination Tourney. The medallion not the girls.

Pena Tournament:

Super Porky             vs             X-Pac

1 Fall:  Slow match as you can imagine. Alicia Webb is on the apron flirting with Porky. Porky does a bronco buster to X-Pac. Porky finally gives in and goes over to Alicia, but X-Pac school boys him and pins Porky for the win.

X-Pac                vs                     Mascara Devina

1 Fall:  A much faster paced match, with the action swinging back and forth. Pac does a pescado to Devina to the outside. Devina does a tope to him. Alicia interferes but Devina grabs him, Pac comes running in and runs into Alicia. Devina pins him in an inverted 'rana.

Mascara Devina                 vs               Kenzo Suzuki

1 Fall:  There was no pause between matches the next guy would come running out. Devina delivers some kicks to Kenzo then a missile drop kick, but misses a plancha. Kenzo fakes a  low blow, then pins Devina after a knee drop.

Kenzo Suzuki                   vs             La Parka Jr.

1 Fall:  Parka delivers some clotheslines with his good arm, then a tope. Parka does a Scorpion Death Drop but Kenzo kicks out. Parka does a guillotine leg drop for another 2 count. Kenzo gets an arm lock on Parka's bad arm but Parka made the ropes. Kenzo teases a martinette, but he didn't do it then locks on another arm lock on his bad arm, but Parka didn't give. Parka made a come back and got some near falls with a snap suplex and an overhead release suplex. Then Kenzo low kicked Parka with a mule kick and submitted him with another arm lock on his bad arm.

Kenzo Suzuki                vs                Laredo Kid

1 Fall:  The size difference is obvious, Kenzo throws him around a while. Kenzo did a sloppy splash as Laredo turned sideways as Kenzo was coming down. Kenzo did a over head release suplex on Laredo who landed on his head. Karma catches up to Kenzo who received a low blow mule kick from Laredo, and an enzuigiri then pins him after an shooting star press.

Laredo Kid                  vs                Ron Killings

1 Fall:  Ron attacks right away. Laredo looked exhausted, but he pulled out a Frankensteiner on Killings, but Laredo was injured in doing it. The match was stopped and awarded to Killings, Laredo couldn't continue. The replay showed on the Franken, Killings' butt came down on Laredo's knee who didn't get out of way in time. He was carried out.

Ron Killings                vs              Alan Stone

1 Fall:  Ron attacks right away again and stomps Stone. Alan made a come back, Killings did a frontward suplex on Alan and got a 2 count. Killings went for a power bomb but Alan rolled through it and pinned him with sunset flip.

1 Fall:  Decnis and Guapito came out with Scorpio. Scorpio attacks right away, Guapito hands Scorpio a fork and Scorpio blades Alan with it. Scorpio does a suplex for a 2 count. At this point Tirantes Sr. came out, argued his son, jr. and basically tossed him out of ring and took over refereeing the match. Stone makes a comeback, but hits Tirantes Sr., Intocable came out and distracted everybody, Stone rolled Scorpio into a majistral cradle but Tirantes wouldn't count, but Intocable did, it somehow counted just the same. Stone won.

Alan Stone                       vs               Charly Manson

1 Fall:  They start by exchanging punches, Stone gets a quick two count. They trade moves back and forth. Stone was gonna do a spring board to the outside, but he was gonna miss so he hung onto the top rope, managed to flip back inside, and went up and did a plancha out instead. Charly did a 'rana but Stone rolled through it and got a 2 count. Charly then did his figure four dragon screw leg whip and submitted Stone for the win.

Charly Manson                   vs               Scott Hall

1 Fall:  Hall came out with X-Pac and Killings. Scott chops him and does some clotheslines to him in the corner. Charly did a missile drop kick and got a 1 count. Scott did a Lariat and got a 2 count. Scott did a fallaway slam and got another 2 count. Scott was gonna toss Charly off the top rope but Charly shifted himself and fell on Scott for a 2 count. Scott did a chokeslam for a 2 count. Scott then the same thing, same result. Scott then went for the Outsiders Edge power bomb but Charly fought his way out of it. Scott went for a small package but Charly rolled the other way and pinned him for the win.

Charly Manson                   vs             Konnan

1 Fall:  Konnan had with him, Scott Hall, X-Pac, Ron Killings and Alicia. Konnan gets in some punches on Charly as Charly plays dead. Charly gets in some punches on Konnan but Konnan's team attack Charly. Charly makes a come back punches everybody. Charly did a double back elbow to Pac  and Killings. Konnan then throws some powder at Charly, but got only a 2 count. Konnan then locks on a sleeper hold on Charly, but Charly fought his way out of it. Hall then does the Outsiders Edge power bomb to Charly, at this point La Parka came out to support Charly, he put Charly's foot of the ropes during a pin. Pac gives Charly a face buster. Pac accidently hit ref. Tirantes Sr. Konnan then puts on another sleeper on Charly but Charly kicks off the top rope, falls on Konnan, and bridges back to pin Konnan for the win. Charly and Parka get beaten down afterward. After Konnan's posse leaves, Roldan awards Charly the giant medallion.

The End, that wraps up this two hour show, I thought it was pretty good this time. Nice change of pace from all the team matches week after week. I hope the two hour shows continue.

CMLL on FSE for 9-16-07

CMLL on Fox Sports Espanol

Lizmark Jr. and Dos Caras Jr. do promos about their upcoming title match later.

Mictlan, Mascara Purpura, Starman        vs         Emilio Charles Jr., Euforia, Nosferatu

1st Fall:  It looked like this was joined in progress because the beat down was already underway when they started. After several minutes, Euforia power bombs Purpura and pins him. He was the Captain so that ended it.

We are under the ring with Dr. Wagner Jr., and he introduces us to his protege, El Hijo De Dr. Wagner Jr., who will take up his legend some day. He puts the white mask on him. The kid seems overcome, saying he is honored to wear it.

2nd Fall:  The beat down is still going on as this fall started. After about a minute the tecnicos get a come back, with Purpura doing a backward tope to Nosferatu on the outside. Mictlan and Starman do huricanrana's and pin Euforia and Emilio together. Short fall.

El Arte Del Catch: La Sombra de Astro Boy, it's actually the satellite armbar.

The Wagner kid standing next to his dad is an inch to two taller than him.

3rd Fall:  The match seems to have settled down to a regular match by this point, with back and forth action. Purpura does a nice 'rana to Nosferatu, and after a Purpura kick, Emilio does his tooth spitting thing. Mictlan and Starman do twin topes to Euforia and Nosferatu. Emilio sneaks in a low blow on Purpura when the ref wasn't looking and pinned him for the win.

El Deseno De Canek, he explains his mask which has to do with his Aztec heritage.

The Wagner kid says he's a normal dad out of the ring.

for the CMLL World Title:
Dos Caras Jr. (c)                   vs                Lizmark Jr.

1st Fall:  This fall was likewise joined in progress. With Caras applying a back breaker to Liz but he got out. Mephisto was Liz's second. Alex Koslov was Dos'. Liz power bombs and pins Dos with is feet on the second rope.

Wagner kid says he has no girlfriend yet, he's too busy with school. The trivia question was why are Japan and Russia important to Dos Caras Jr., the answer was he debuted in Japan and had a Russian trainer.

2nd Fall:  Liz unlaces Dos' mask. He sort of unmasked him and put it on backward. Again Liz spends more time trying to unmask him. Dos does a missile drop kick on him. Dos submitted Liz with an armbar.

El Arte Del Catch: El Gori Invertida: Basically the Gory Special.

Wagner says his dad trained him well, as he will his kid, the kid breaks up again, cries on his shoulder.

3rd Fall:  Dos starts with an enzuigiri on him, then went for a camel clutch on Liz. Liz got out. Liz does a tope to Dos outside. Dos super kicks him, and Liz power bombs him and tries to pin him with his feet on the ropes again but this time Dos kicked out. Liz rolls him up for another 2 count. Liz suplex's him for another 2 count. Liz tries a cross body off the top but Dos rolls through it and gets a 2 count on him. Liz accidentally hits the ref, Dos does a military press on Liz, but on the German attempt, Liz mule kicked him for a low blow and a pin, but the ref was still out of it. As Liz was trying to revive him, Dos schoolboyed Liz and pins him for the win. Dos retains his title.

Well that wraps up that. I didn't think it was too bad.

Galavision AAA Lucha Libre Run Down for 9-15-07

AAA Show for September 15, 2007

This is not an official review of the show,  just a sort of run down of it. Not sending this anywhere, just for this site. My web site looked too lonely without any posts so just doing what I can. Can't guarantee I'll have enough time to do this every week but let's try it out.

They ran down the highlights of last week. Among them Billy Boy watching Faby and Alfa out on a date.

Mini Histeria, Mini Abismo Negro                 vs                  Octagoncito, Mascarita Devina

1 Fall:  The mini Vipers attack as soon as the mini tecnicos come out and the beat down is underway. Mini Absimo gives Devina an Apache bomb, then gives Octagoncito a Frankensteiner, and Mini Histeria gives him a frog splash, Octagoncito kicked out at 2. The come back begins when the mini Vipers hit each other. Devina was gonna give Mini Histeria a Devil's Wings but Octagoncito came in and seemed to stop him. Outside the mini Vipers kiss and make up. The mini Vipers keep pulling their opponents up at the 2 count. Octagoncito and Mini Abismo unmask each other and put on each others' masks, Octagoncito pinned Mini Abismo with a roll up wearing Abismo's mask. Mini Tecnicos win. Good entertaining match.

Ayako Hamada                 vs                   Faby Apache

1 Fall: Hamada's second was Kaoru Ito, Faby's was Alfa. Ito interferes helping beat down Faby, Alfa comes in to help Faby. Alfa gets hit with a chair by Ayako. Faby makes a come back with a plancha. Faby then did a 'rana and pinned Ayako but rudo ref Copestes Salazar wouldn't count. Ayako did a moonsault to Faby and Alfa. Faby did 3 German Suplex's to Ayako, but Ito makes the save. A few more near falls. Some mix ups with Ito hitting Ayako and Alfa hitting Faby. Ayako hits a Death Valley Driver and pins Faby for the win. Kenzo Suzuki came out and beat up Alfa and Faby afterward. Pretty good match.

Elimination Tourney for the AAA World Title:
Match 1:    Kenzo Suzuki                    vs                   Charly Manson

1 Fall:  Slow match, not to good. Kenzo suplex's Charly from the top rope when Faby comes out to distract. Charly rolls up Kenzo and pins him with a schoolboy. But it didn't end there, the match continued for some reason. Charly submits Kenzo with a reverse figure four. Charly advances in the tourney.

Match 2:  Cibernetico                 vs                 Mr. Niebla

1 Fall:  Another slow paced match. About what you'd expect. Ciber spears him and then chokeslams him and pins him. Very short match only a few minutes. Miesias came out and demanded a title shot for Ciber's title which was the IWC World Title. They showed a close up of it later. Ciber said yes. Joaquin Roldan came out and said no, but Ciber talked him into it saying it was a matter of honor.

Scorpio was interviewed about the internal squabble for leadership of Los Guapos between him and Guapito.

Super Calo, Scorpio Jr., Alan Stone               vs               Extreme Tiger, Joe Lider, Crazy Boy

1 Fall:  Alan Stone now a generic version of his entrance music, no words to it and no singing anymore by anyone. That's a pity, I thought it was one of the best entrances in wrestling, well that's gone now. Very fast paced match. Guapos put a beat down on the MP's, with Guapito getting in some shots. But soon Alan and Scorpio come to blows with even Guapito getting hit. The MP's make a comeback during the confusion, Crazy and Joe do a double power bomb on Alan and pin him for the win.

For the IWC World Title:
Cibernetico (C)                   vs                   Mesias

1 Fall:  Mesias attacks right away but Ciber mounts a comeback, with a spear but rudo ref. Salazar slow counts the pin. Mesias does a forward Russian leg swipe and pins Ciber for the win, the title, and winning Ciber's place in the AAA World Title Tourney. In shown in replay that Mesias took out a pair of brass knucks and hit Ciber with 'em before the Russian leg swipe.

Chessman, Zorro, Elejido                       vs                   Mesias, Cuervo, Ozz

1 Fall:  The tecnicos attack, but the Secta soon takes control of the beat down. Mesias throws Chessman into the ring side seats. Cuervo gets in a low blow on Elejido. La Secta deals out some chair shots. The beat down went on for a long while. The tecnicos get a come back at last, but as Zorro is doing a tope, Kenzo Suzuki spits something into his face in mid tope. More Secta chair shots. Chessman misses a torneo moonsault when Mesias moved, and Mesias hits him with that same forward Russian Leg swipe and pins him for the win.

That wraps that up. How do you like the abrieveated version of the show. Not as detailed but alot easier on me. Only the first two matches were good, but no Fuerza Aerea and too much Kenzo Suzuki.

CMLL on Fox Sports Espanol for 8/19/07

CMLL on Fox Sports Espanol
For the show that aired on Aug. 19, 2007

Atlantis vows to beat Rey Bucanero tonight and win the Light Heavyweight Title. Rey said he know Atlantis is a good wrestler but if he wants to win, he'll have to work hard for it.

Nosferatu, Virus, Satanico                 vs             Tony Rivera, Fabian El Gitano, Leono

1st Fall:  Leono and Satanico start it off slowly, exchanging holds. Fabian gives Virus a spring board arm drag to the outside. Fabian does a moonsault to the outside on Nosferatu. Rivera does a missile drop kick on Satanico and pins him. Leono does a face buster on Virus and submits him with a crossface.

The interview is with Metalico, formerly Tigre Metalico.

2nd Fall:  Rivera takes turns trading moves with all 3 rudos. Rivera does a spring board elbow to Nosferatu, then gives him a head scissors from the apron to the floor. The rudos trap Leono in their corner and beat him up a bit. Satanico throws Leono around by the hair. The rudos put Rivera's head band around his eyes, blinding him, and throw him around too. Virus and Satanico toss Leono into Nosferatu who spears him. Virus and Satanico stretch Leono by the limbs and Nosferatu stands on him, and the refs make the 3 count.

El Arte Del Catch: Tony Salazar with two wrestlers demonstrates a hold called El Nodo Rosa, kind of a double underhook chicken wing.

3rd Fall:  Nosferatu gets a swastika on Rivera but Leono breaks it up. Leono drops an elbow on him, but Satanico breaks up that pin. Satanico gets an arm lock on Leono but Fabian breaks that up. Virus gets a half crab on Fabian but Rivera comes off the top with a double ax handle knocks him off. The rudos go into a beat down of the tecnicos, beating them up one by one. Nosferatu topes Fabian. Satanico submits Rivera to Nodo Rosa, Virus submits Leono to a version of the Tequila Sunrise. Rudos win.

Metalico shows off his tattoos, and explains them, saying they all mean something.

CMLL Light Heavyweight Title:
(C) Rey Bucanero                     vs                 Atlantis

1st Fall:  They seem to join this in progress with these two already wrestling and exchanging holds and moves back and forth. Several near falls back and forth. After several more near falls, Rey rolls up Atlantis from behind and pins him for the 3 count.

The trivia question is which question offered Atlantis an opportunity to be his heir?

Metalico tells the story of when he tried a moonsault and missed, hitting his head on the concrete floor, his head was bleeding, he wanted them to remove his mask, because he was choking on his own blood. He doesn't remember much about it, he said Brazo De Oro was there telling him he was gonna be alright he doesn't really remember that. He had a near death experience, he put his life in God's hand he says, and he somehow saw his son and wanted to live for him.

The answer to the question was El Solitario, who offered him the chance to be Solitario Jr. or Hijo but he wanted to be Atlantis.

2nd Fall:  Very short fall, Atlantis power bombed Rey and pinned him with his feet on the ropes. The refs didn't see it.

This time Salazar demonstrates El Cavernario. Kind of a surfboard using the head.

Metalico is grateful to Shocker because he got his start in the Guapos search from years ago.

3rd Fall:  The seconds were Emilio Charles Jr. for Atlantis and Maximo for Rey. Rey did a Mortal on Atlantis. Atlantis applies a Cavernario on Rey, Rey gets out. Atlantis gets Rey in an upside down Gory Special but Rey rolls off and rolls him up, Atlantis rolls the other way for a near fall. Atlantis gets a few more near falls. Atlantis power bombs and gets another near fall on Rey. Atlantis does a swanton bomb on Rey but Rey kicks out at 2. Rey gets some near falls on him, one with an inverted 'rana. Atlantis does a huricanrana on him but Rey rolls through it and gets a two count. Atlantis tosses Rey out of the ring and does a tope to him. Atlantis does a cross body off the top but Rey rolls through it and gets a near fall on him. Rey does a sunset flip but Atlantis rolls back the other way and tries a pin using the ropes, but Rey kicked out. Rey does his underhook power bomb but Atlantis kicked out at 2. Atlantis rolls him up for a 2 count. Atlantis went for his Atlantida but Rey wiggled out. Rey rolls up Atlantis and this time pins him for the 3 count and the win. Rey retains his title. Atlantis says he likes wrestling wrestlers as good as Rey but he wants a rematch. Rey says he too liked the match, but he wants a hair vs mask with Atlantis, Atlantis reponse was to kick him down.  I was impressed with Atlantis, he can really wrestle when he wants to.

Good show for the most part, and it was my birthday. My reviews are at http://vicsixx42.spaces.live.com

CMLL on Fox Sports Espanol
For the show that aired on Aug. 12, 2007

Virus issues threats to Stuka and his partners, Stuka said his team is better. Ultimo Guerrero said he and his team have the belts, and Mistico is finished. Mistico said he doesn't care whether Ultimo is on another level, or whether Dr. Wagner is with him or not, he and Negro were robbed of the belts and the fans know that.

Tony Rivera, Stuka Jr., Mictlan       vs       Nosferatu, Euforia, Virus

We are under the ring with Maximo. We meet his mother Adela and his dog, who live in a small home. He said his mother didn't want him to wrestle but it was in his blood he had to. He said he got a phone call from his uncle who was distressed he was working as an exotico, and was in tears thinking he was gay. He said he had to do it. It's just a character.

2nd Fall:  Los Infernales had begun a beat down as this fall started, Nosferatu speared Rivera. The tecnicos start a come back soon after, with Rivera getting catapulted outside onto Nosferatu. Stuka submits Euforia to a reverse figure four. Mictlan does a over head back breaker on Virus and pins him.

Maximo's mother says Maximo will eat almost anything, Maximo said that's because she's a very good cook. We also meet his sister, simply called in the graphics "Sister".

3rd Fall:  Stuka flips around on Virus. Rivera does a huricanrana from the top to Nosferatu. Stuka monkey flips Euforia to the outside, then goes up and does a moonsault to him on the floor. Virus misses a spear on Rivera and hits the post. Rivera does a tope on Virus. Mictlan does a Frankensteiner on Nosferatu. Mictlan went for a 'rana but Nosferatu power bombed him and pinned him for the win. Euforia issues threats to Stuka afterward. Stuka said you won the battle but not the war.

Maximo is watching a soccer game, while they show pictures of him as a boy, one of the pictures is one of him as a boy being picked up by Andre the Giant. His mother said he always wanted to be a luchador.

Negro Casas, Volador Jr., Mistico      vs      Ultimo Guerrero, Averno, Mephisto

1st Fall:  The little evil monkey is with them. The rudos go into a beat down of the tecnicos right away. The Evil Monkey does a moonsault from the top but Volador catches him, the little guy however does a armdrag to Volador. Averno does the Devil's Wings to Mistico and Mephisto pins him to win this fall.

Maximo shows off his motorcycle. His mother said he's a  good son.

2nd Fall:  The rudos are still into the beat down. Negro is tossed into the ring, Mistico slapped the evil monkey on the ass. Ultimo holds Volador across his knees while the evil monkey came off the top with a plancha to him. Averno runs Mistico's back into the ringpost. Mistico and Volador are picking on the evil monkey, and soon the tecnicos begin their come back. Mistico does a flying head scissors to Averno. Mistico does a tope to him. Negro does a Casita to Mephisto and pins him. Volador does a sunset flip to Ultimo and pins him too.

El Arte Del Catch: Tony Salazar demonstrates the Gory Special with two guys.

The trivia question was what was the first identity of Averno? Anyone know?

Maximo shows off some stuffed animals he has, and a sponge bob square pants piggy bank. Maximo says when he goes to bed, his dog always joins him in it.

Averno's first identity was Rencor Latino and under that name won the mask of Hijo Del Gladiator.

3rd Fall:  Mistico is in the ring putting his moves on the rudos. Several head scissors, then a moonsault to Averno to the outside. Negro did his silla outside to Ultimo who apparently tried to hold him up, but Negro hit him several times on the head and he went down. Volador did a pescado outside to Mephisto. Mistico in the ring, hit his "Mistica" on Averno and he submitted. Tecnicos win.

And that wrapped  up the show, they used generic music for all the wrestlers, one tune for all. Maximo seems to live his gimmick, and lives very modestly like most of them do.  Wasn't a bad show. My reviews are at: http://vicsixx42.spaces.live.com

CMLL on Fox Sports Espanol for 7/29/07

CMLL on Fox Sports Espanol
For the show that aired on July 29, 2007

Felino and Nosferatu do promos threatening each other's teams. Dos Caras Jr. and Universo 2000 likewise threaten each other.

Satanico, Nosferatu, Euforia               vs             Felino, La Mascara, Valiente

1st Fall:  Euforia and Mascara start it off. Soon however Los Infernales go into a beat down of the tecnicos. Euforia gives Felino a back elbow. Valiente gets stretched by Satanico and Nosferatu while Euforia stands on him and he submits. Euforia and Nosferatu deliver elbow drops on Felino while Satanico holds him, they do the same thing to Mascara that they did to Valiente and he submits also.

We were under the ring with El Terrible. He has an impressive collection of horror related masks displayed in his living room, and horror dolls. Aside from Horror movies he also has a passion for motorcycles he has stacks and stacks of motocycle magazines and miniature  motorcycle toys and displays still more horror masks, he has alot of them.

2nd Fall:  Nosferatu starts this fall by doing a neck breaker drop on Mascara. The tecnicos however begin a comeback soon after. Valiente topes Euforia, Mascara does a huricanarana on Nosferatu and pins him. While Felino was brawling outside with Satanico I believe the rudos got counted outside the ring.

Stuka Jr. explains his brother is Stuka, and he goes on to explain that he is doing a pilot gimmick, with the goggles on the mask, the gloves, and insignia on the mask.

Back to Terrible, he displays still more Horror masks, including a gas mask. He displays an axe and a helmet he has worn to the ring a few times.

3rd Fall:  Valiente monkey flips Euforia. Satanico does a sunset flip on Felino for a near fall. Satanico submits Felino with a full nelson and it's over. Very short fall.

Back to Terrible, he shows a picture of his wife.

Rey Bucanero, Marco Corleone, Dos Caras Jr.    vs   Universo 2000, Toscano, Ultimo Guerrero

1st Fall:  The rudos attack right away with Dos getting his mask ripped open. Toscano leg drops Marco. In the midst of the rudo beat down, Rey goes over and sits on a woman at ringside, so does Marco. Toscano leap frogs onto Dos' stomach. Toscano comes off the second rope with a leg drop to Rey who was held across Ultimo's knees, and they pin him, Ultimo does a suplex to Marco and pins him too.

Back to Terrible, he talks about his motorcycle. Back to his masks again, he has a doll that looks like a zombie inside a chicken suit.

2nd Fall:  The tecnicos are still getting beat down, Ultimo does the headstand drop in the corner to Marco. The tecnicos start the comeback soon after that. Dos pulls U-2's legs and drops him outside. Marco does a splash from the top and pins Ultimo. Rey does a majistral and pins Toscano(the wrestler formerly known as Tarzan boy).

Tony Salazar with two wrestlers displays and explains La Campana.

Terrible still showing more of his horror masks.

3rd Fall:  The match seems to settle down for a while with Rey and Toscano trading moves. Rey did a head scissors to Ultimo on the outside. They stall as Marco gyrates for the fans, then does a double clothesline from the top to Toscano & Ultimo, then a double body press to them. Universo does a drop kick to Dos, then Dos clotheslines him to the outside. Rey leap frogs onto the backs of Ultimo & Toscano. Rey does a tope to them, followed by Marco doing a plancha to them. Universo gets a small package on Dos for a near fall. Universo power bombs Dos for another near fall. Dos then hits his German Suplex Bridge and pins Universo for the win. Dos says next weeek he defends the title against Universo.

That wraps up this week's show. With all those masks and motorcycle stuff no wonder where Terrible's money goes. My reviews can be found at http://vicsixx42.spaces.live.com.

AAA Galavision for July 21, 2007

AAA on Galavision 7/21/07

Forever is a long time. I'm trying out a new system. This is not an official AAA review, just going over the highlights, meaning this is just for here, not sending this anywhere else. And not going into any real details of the matches, that does takes too long. Lets see how this works out.

Cannibal, Esplosivo, Aerostar   vs   Diabolicos: Angel Mortal, Gallego, Mr. Condor.

Explosivo has a white pale body, whiter than most Mexicans. Cannibal is like a young thin version of Kamala. Mostly a by the numbers match. Aero did a nice tope, then a nice spring board moonsault to the outside. Cannibal simply slipped of the top rope and they pinned him. Strange ending.

Alan, Decnis, Gran Apache, Super Calo    vs   Pegasso, Super Fly, Rey Cometa, Laredo Kid

With these two teams involved it virtually guarantees a good match. It was. There were Planchas, Moonsaults, Torneos. Alan back dropped Laredo to the outside. Alan and Decnis missed a double spear. Apache pins Laredo.

In the skit, Apache wants Alfa to unmask, he doesn't want to. They work him out with the other trainees. Apache was wearing a Familia Apache T-Shirt, it looked nice. Apache asks who taught him he said his father. Apache said he'll talk to some people at AAA and get him in. Then Apache names him Alfa, uh, he already had that name when he debuted years ago. Some coincidence huh?

Faby is still griping about being cheated out of joining the Legion.

Rosy Moreno, Ayako Hamada   vs   Faby Apache, Cinthia Moreno

Pretty good match, started with the tecnicas dealing out chair shots. Faby hit Cinthia, Ref. Salazar slow counts for Faby. The Moreno Sisters fight outside and to the back and virtually disappear for the rest of the match. Gran Hamada comes out and attacks Faby, Salazar was hit by Ayako, Gran Apache came out and they fought, they kept trying to turn this into a regular match going for pins, but there was no ref. and this wasn't a real match. Gran Hamada looked pretty good. Salazar revives and DQ's the Hamadas, and Rosy who had no real part of this match. This looks like a pretty good fued the Hamadas vs the Apaches.

Notas: Yet another plug for the US tour, showing them arriving at some airport.
And La Parka and Octagon visiting some girl who had cancer.

Psicosis, Scoria, Espiritu   vs   Crazy Boy, Joe Lider, Extreme Tiger

Pretty much the same matche these two teams always have. Only more boring and longer. Chairs and a large board. Crazy pins Espiritu with a moonsault with a chair under him.

Fuerza Guerrera slams son Juvie's extreme style wrestling. Says when he is out there Juvie is not his son.

Fuerza Guerrea, Scorpio Jr., Alan Stone  vs  Super Astro, Alebrije, Octagon

Guapito came out with a guitar but Cuije took it away from him and used it on him. Guapito bled. Astro was better here than in his last appearance, is he the Mexican version of Ric Flair? Cibernetico was at ringside with his new girl, hey they showed this scene last week on Notas, does AAA have a time machine? Anyway when the rudos were hassling him he left. Astro toped Stone, Alebrije pins Scorpio. Average at best match.

Ozz, Kenzo Suzuki, Mesias   vs   La Parka, Latin Lover, Zorro

Rudos attack early. Mesias works over Parka's bad arm. One long beat down. Ciber reappears, distracting them as Latin pins Mesias with a Majistral. La Secta and Psicosis come out to join in the beat down. They put a white T-Shirt on Ciber and spray paint on him, El Dios Baboso. They had duct taped Latin, Zorro, and Parka.

This system is alot easier for me, and as I said, this is just for this site now. Scott is still the Official AAA reviewer, as recognized by the Dios De Lucha Libre-Gran Apache, hey it makes more sense than Ciber.

CMLL on Fox Sports Espanol for 7/22/07

CMLL on FSE Lucha Libre Report
For the show that aired on July 22, 2007

Rey Bucanero says he has the best team.

Ultimo Guerrero says he doesn't care if they voted for him or not, he is Rey's challenger, and he will get him.

Shigeo Okumura, Goto, OHara           vs      Leono, Stuka Jr., Valiente

1st Fall:  Okumura and Leono start it off, exchanging fast moves. Then Goto and Valiente go at it. Valiente does a back flip off the ropes then monkey flips Goto. Valiente then topes Goto. Leono drops a spring board elbow drop on Okumura and pins him. Stuka does a standing moonsault on top of Ohara and pins him.

The interview is Texano Jr., we see his home, he lives in a very small apartment, and I mean very small, barely big enough for him. Kind of destroys the mythos of lucha libre stars when they show us how modest they really live. He sleeps on a small twin size bed. After the commercial, he cooks himself a meal.

2nd Fall:  Leono starts by arm dragging Goto a few times, then giving him an enzuigiri. Then Leono throws Ohara around, adds a quebradora and a superkick. The Japanese at this point go into a beat down of the tecnicos. Okumura does a missile drop kick on Valiente. They give Stuka a gang flapjack. Ohara gives Stuka a high knee kick to the chest and Okumura pins him. Goto gives Leono a brain buster and pins him.

Brief snippet of interview with Sombra, he talks about he got his mask design from his father.

Texano Jr., is still cooking, looks like fried eggs, he talks about doing laundry, and putting it away. He puts it away in a  small nightstand next to his small bed. After the commercial, we meet his mother Ana, she says he eats alot.

3rd Fall:  As this fall begins the Japanese are still beating on the tecnicos. Stuka gets a gang stomping. Leono and his partners mount a comeback, with quebradoras, chops. Stuka does a plancha/arm drag to Ohara from the top to the outside. Leono super kicks Okumura then does a torneo to him to the outside. Valiente does a spring board cross body on Goto and gets a 2 count. Goto does a chokeslam on Valiente and pins him. Okumura does a reverse DDT on Leono and pins him. Ohara does a high kick to Stuka and pins him too.

Ramstein gives away the mask he put up to the winner of a contest, a young boy.

Texano Jr., they're still eating, on the walls we see plagues to Texano Sr. and pictures of him.

Negro Casas is waiting sitting on the apron, when Leobardo Magadan arrives, apparently to be trained by Casas, Leo says he is a rudo and is ready to win. Casas says however if you want to be a rudo you have know how to lose. Off they go to train at some cmll gym with Casa, Leo, and other trainees. first Leo is carrying some guy on his back, then is has to walk on his hands wheel barrol like. Then has to somersault over Casas. Leo jumps over him instead and tries to leave, they bring him back. They throw him down and all the trainees pin him in a big pile on. After as they check on him, Leo says this is how it's like being a rudo, and they cheer him.

Ultimo Guerrero, Toscano(formerly Tarzan Boy), Universo 2000 vs
Dos Caras Jr., Rey Bucanero, Marco Corleone

1st Fall:  Marco's spanish is getting better. We join the fall with the beat down already in progress. Caras was apparently attacked in the aisle by U-2. The match settles down quickly to a regular match. Toscano & Rey really starting it off. Mostly trading arm drags. Then Marco and Ultimo go at it, Marco is over foot taller than Ultimo and points that out. Toscano comes in to help, but Marco handles them both, Marco comes off the top with a clothesline to Ultimo. Then Caras and U-2 go at it. Caras enzuigiri's him and knocks him outside, Caras tries a tope but he got caught up and tangled up in the ropes, he untangled himself and simply vaulted over the top rope on Universo. (nice of Universo to wait for him). Marco does a cross body off the top but Ultimo rolls through it and pins him. Rey had Toscano in a hold but Toscano got out and rolled him up from behind and pinnned him. They asked a woman at ringside about Marco, she said he was fine, and points to the guys beside her and said they were cold meat.

Texano Jr., his mom said she isn't sure he Jr. will reach the status of his dad as he was one of the greatest luchadors in Mexico. She then says she thinks he can come pretty close after all. After the commercial, he said he is grateful to his mom who helped and supported him alot.

2nd Fall:  The rudos are still beating down the tecnicos. A girl at ringside had an I love Marco T-Shirt. U-2 was biting Marco on the thigh. Marco then stops and begins the comeback, doing a cross body to all 3 at once. U-2 and Dos fight their  way up the aisle. Marco does a flying clothesline off the top to Ultimo and pins him. Rey submitted Toscano to some kind of head scissors/arm bar.

Tony Salazar shows up the senton with two guys doing it.

A bit where Leobardo Magadan said was supposed to give news of cmll, but basically pushed merchandise back packs, lunch boxes, sippy cups, T-Shirts with  Que Monito.

Texano Jr., he says it's very had following in his father's foot steps, and living up to the name.

3rd Fall:  Starts normally, with Rey and U-2 trading moves. Rey gives Toscano a tornado DDT. Guerrerito the evil monkey is at ringside. Rey kicks Guerrerito off the  apron. Caras deals out quebradoras and kicks. Guerrerito comes off the top but Caras just catches him. U-2 rips open Dos' mask. Dos however clotheslines him to the outside. Rey does a tope on Ultimo, Marco comes off the apron with a clothesline to Toscano. Dos does a plancha inside to U-2. He tries a pin, but U-2 kicks out at 2, and tosses Dos on top of the ref. Dos does a military press on U-2 but he got out and did a low blow kick to Dos and pinned him for the win. A few challenges go back and forth, and they brawl a bit as they off the air.

That wraps up the show. I liked it. I think the at home bits hurts some luchadors especially rudos. My reviews are at http://vicsixx42.spaces.live.com.

12 Greatest Matches in Lucha Libre History Special

12 Greatest Matches in Lucha Libre History Special

Sorry it took me so long to review this, this wasn't an easy show to review, mostly discussion and brief clips, no entire matches.  Some Luchadores were interviewed in studio, the history review was by Julio Cesar Rivera, and El Testigo a masked lucha historian.

1st was a mask vs mask with Fishman vs Sangre Chicana, Fishman submits him, and Chicana angrily unmasked.

2nd was mask vs mask with Fishman vs El Corbarde, the action went back and forth. Cobarde topes Fishman, alot of near falls. Fishman rips at his mask and Cobarde bleeds, Cobarde does the same to him. Cobarde goes for a Gory Special, but Fishman rolls through it and pins him for the win. Cobarde unmasked.

They talk about El Solitario, and his feud with La Ola Blanca(Angel Blanco and Dr. Wagner). They mention that Solitario and Blanco were good friends in real life even though they fought. Solitario took both their masks and did away with La Ola Blanca.

3rd Match: El Solitario vs Dr. Wagner mask vs mask. Clips show Wagner getting his mask ripped, Solitario too. Solitario won with a roll up. Wagner unmasks and identified as Manuel Gonzalez Rivera. They mention this was Wagner's last match, his friend Angel Blanco died soon after.

They interview Bobby Lee, he began his career pretending to be the brother of Bruce Lee. He mentions defending his world title against Villiano-3, and against Santo and in that match challenged him to a mask vs mask which he accepted.

4th Match: Bobby Lee vs El Santo, mask vs mask.  Only photos shown of this match with Lee losing and unmasking. Lee put his mask back on in the studio and cut a brief promo.

El Halcon, he mentions his matches with Mil Mascaras, Alfonso Dantes, winning Alfonso's hair and 8 days later going into the mask vs mask with Mil.

5th Match El Halcon    vs   Mil Mascaras, mask vs mask. Frenetic pace with these guys throwing each other around. Mil splashing him and doing a couple of head butt topes to him. Mil submits him and Halcon unmasked. Halcon kept referring to him as Danny Ortiz and taking credit for making his career and giving him a personality.

6th Match was El Halcon vs Gemelo Diablo 1, defending his world title against him. Clips of the action going back and forth. Diablo topes him on the outside, Halcon said he hurt his shoulder on that one but he still got back in and beat him.

7th Match was El Santo & Gran Hamada vs Scorpio & Hurican Ramirez. Santo getting his mask ripped, clips looked like a violent match.

8th Match was El Santo, Gory Guerrero, El Solitario, Hurican Ramirez vs El Signo, Negro Navarro, El Texano, Perro Aguayo Sr. Match looked very violent, Gory looked old and he was getting beat on big time. Alot of blood in this match, freaky seeing a young Perro.  Not clear who won, they didn't say, but said this was Santo's last match.

9th Match was Los Gringos Locos: Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero vs Hijo Del Santo & Octagon. Hair vs Masks in Los Angeles. Clips only, Eddie and Art looked like they were wrestling in fast forward, really fast pace. They show Eddie going for the Gory Special, and Eddie doing a huricanrana to Santo who was on Art's shoulders. Eddie looked like he was really enjoying himself, he layed on the match kicking his arms and legs. Art did a really nice looking frog splash to Octagon. Santo does a flying head scissors to Eddie, then Santo and Octagon tope them. Eddie and Art lose. A few days later they say, Art Barr died.

10th match was Perro Aguayo Sr. vs Mascara Ano 2000, mask vs mask. Ano attacks kicking and kicking at Perro. Perro low blows Ano and gets DQ'd losing the first fall. In the second Perro goes into his Hulk Out routine no selling Ano's offense. Ano uses brass knucks and gets DQ'd. In the 3rd fall, Cien Caras interferes from outside, with the ref distracted Perro low blows Ano again but this time pins him to win. Ano unmasked and ran to the back. Ano said in the studio he was worried this might be the end of his career.

11th Match was Perro Aguayo Sr vs Universo 2000, hair vs mask. Universo beats him with a Martinette and Perro loses his hair.

12th Match was Fuerza Guerrera vs El Gallo Tapato mask vs mask.  As mentioned Gallo came to the ring with a live chicken, Fuerza took it away from him and started beating him with it. Freaky stuff.  Damn! Gallo makes a comeback and puts some moves on him. Gallo rips Fuerza's mask. Fuerza submits Gallo to a Texas Cloverleaf leg lock to win the first fall. In the second, Gallo backslides him to win this fall. In the 3rd, Fuerza uses the same leg lock to win this fall that he did the first. Gallo unmasked.

To end the show they showed random clips from the AAA vs CMLL card. The clips were too fast paced and too random to describe, but alot of brawling involving alot of guys.

That ends the show.  Very good considering these only brief clips and only an hour show. Worth hunting down if you get a chance.

Galavision Lucha Libre TV Report for 7/14/07

Galavision Lucha Libre TV Report
For the show that aired on July 14, 2007

The 12 Greatest Matches show did air on FSE last Friday, they showed clips of various mask vs mask matches, and alot of discussion, my favorite parts were seeing the clips of Art Barr & Eddie Guerrero back then, boy were they fast, and clips of Fuerza Guerrera vs El Gallo, Fuerza was beating Gallo with his own live chicken he came to the ring with. Swinging it like a bat, I guess there's no ASPCA in Mexico. Anyway back to AAA, this show was taped in Merida, Mexico.

They start by asking fans who they prefer rudos or tecnicos.

Cinthia Moreno, Estrellita                 vs               Angel Williams, Ayako Hamada

1 Fall:  Ref. is Pepe Tropicasas. Konnan came out with the Legion girls, he said the AAA girls should be embarrassed to be in the same ring as these two, then he left. The action starts with all 4 going at it at the same time. Angel came off the top with a splash to Cinthia, then Ayako did a Frog splash to her. Ayako brings in a chair and hits both tecnicas in the belly with it. They set the chair up in the ring and Angel throws Cinthia into it, then Estrellita too. They sit Estrellita on the chair and Ayako drop kicks her. Cinthia got hit with the chair 6 or 7 more times. Estrellita reverses a toss and Ayako got hit with the chair and the tecnica comeback began. Both Rudas got hit with the chair. There seems to cut here as suddenly Cinthia and Angel were fighting on the stage. Cinthia hit Angel with the chair several times. Estrellita drags Angel around by the hair and tosses her by using it. The match slows down even more by this with Estellita and Angel trading moves and poses. Estrellita did a missile drop kick to Ayako. Cinthia did a 'rana to Ayako coming off the top rope. Cinthia did  a silla to Ayako outside, Estrellita did one also to Angel. Ayako did a moosault from the top rope but Cinthia got her feet up. There was a crowd shot during Cinthia big move to Ayako, they missed it. Cinthia did a sunset flip to Ayako for a near fall. Ayako then did a Northern Lights Bomb on Cinthia, then Faby Apache came out and attacked Ayako her revenge for these two rudas turning on her last week. Faby power bombed Ayako and put Cinthia on top, but ref Tropicasas pulled Cinthia off by the hair and DQ'd the Tecnicas for Faby's interference. Rudas win.

By the way the lighting sucked, the ring was half in shadows all night long, but the arena was packed, every seat was filled.

Faby was at the side of a pool, being interviewed by Zuniga, he asks about the Legion, she said she likes to be on the side of winners.  At this point Sexy Star confronts her she was wearing a bikini and her mask. Star asked about the Legion and about Billy, then some pushing and shoving takes place between these two, they push each other into the pool, and fight in the water.

Sexy Star, Laredo Kid                 vs                     Faby Apache & Gran Apache

1 Fall:  Ref is Copetes Salazar. Gran came out with two chairs, and they attack right away. Both Gran and Faby beat up on Laredo. The beat down goes on a while. The tecnicos make a comeback of course. Star does a 'rana on Faby. Gran puts Star on the top rope and feels her up a little, she head scissors him. Laredo and Faby trade moves, Faby more than holds her own with him. Gran and Faby both power bomb Laredo, he picks him up and passes him over to her. Star gives Gran a back elbow in the corner, Laredo gave him an enzuigiri. Laredo gets a chair and teases hitting Faby with it, but before he can, Gran takes it away from and swings, he ducks and Gran nails Faby with the chair hard. Gran then hits Laredo and Star with the chair. Laredo and Gran fight all over ringside and eventually make their up a ladder up to the bleacher section. Gran has Laredo's head in a chair, when Super Fly comes out to help his partner and makes his way all the way up to where they are. Meanwhile in the ring Star has Faby pinned but ref. Copetes is distracted by the fighting in the stands. Super Fly hits Gran with a hard chair shot. Star does a 'rana and has Faby pinned again but ref. Copetes is on the apron watching the guys in the stands. Faby then nails her Faby Driver on Star and goes up top but at this point Ayako Hamada comes out and tosses Faby off the top, the ref didn't see it. Ayako hit Faby with a another hard chair shot. Gran is bleeding as he returns to the ring followed by Fly and Laredo. Laredo does  a torneo moonsault to Gran and Fly, Laredo, and Star all pin him together for like 30 seconds until Copetes returns and slowly counts 3. Tecnicos win. Super Calo came out for the save, and does some moves on them, but Fly flips backward over the top rope onto Calo. Fly and Laredo beat down Gran again afterward. In the replay they showed Gran tossing Fly and Laredo out of the bleachers into the ringside section.

Gran Apache is putting his trainees through a workout, showing them rolling and moosaults, when Alfa returns and asks about being trained, he has returned like he said he would. Gran says okay get in. Alfa and Super Calo then trade some very fast moves, with Alfa getting an arm lock on Calo. Gran goes up to him and says that's enough for now, come back tomorrow. He leaves. Gran asks Calo what happened, Calo says that guy has promise, Gran says no problem and just laughs. Then goes back to training his trainees.

Notas/News:  They show Mascara Devina opening up his own gym somewhere in Mexico, with a few AAA guys present, and clips of card that took place outside the gym.
They mention the US tour again.
They mention Lita's group the Luchagors will play at Triplemania 15.
They show Cibernetico and his new girl sitting at ringside at some card somewhere.

Joe Lider back at the beach, says he considered Psicosis a friend but no more. They have a surprise for him too, Extreme Tiger, and we are the best Extreme Wrestlers anywhere.

Psicosis, Espiritu, Cuervo, Scoria           vs       Joe Lider, Crazy Boy, Extreme Tiger

1 Fall: Ref is Tirantes Sr. Juventud Guerrera comes out before his team with his arm in a sling saying he is injured and can't wrestle. The secta attacks him, hitting him with chairs, they power bomb him on two set up chairs in the ring. Juvie is taken away as his team shows up. Tiger drop kicks a chair into Scoria's face. Crazy did a rana coming off the top rope onto Cuervo. Crazy holds Espiritu on his own back for Joe Lider to come off the top with a stomp to him. Tiger does a 450 splash from the top onto Espiritu on the floor. They hang Psicosis from the tree of woe and Lider drop kicks a chair into him. The MP's are in control of the beat down of La Secta. A chair is tossed at Scoria. Lider suplex's Cuervo on a set up chair. Tiger senton's Psicosis, then leg drops him, then a enzuigiri to Cuervo, Cuervo got hit with the chair twice. Crazy Boy and Cuervo fight their way to the back and up the bleacher section as the Secta make a comeback in the ring. Scoria hits a Belly to Belly on Lider, as some light tubes are brought out, some are set up between two chairs some are just left lying in the ring. Back to the bleachers, Cuervo shoves Crazy off the bleachers into a table below. Scoria and Tiger were on one top rope corner, while Psicosis and Lider were on another, Tiger tried a Frankensteiner, but Scoria hung on and power bombed him into the light tubes lying in the ring. Psicosis managed to put Lider through the light tubes that were between the two chairs. Both Lider and Tiger were pinned. Secta wins. More tubes were shattered on Lider's back. Crazy is being taken to the back. Lider's back is a bloody mess, blood is pouring from cuts that stretch across his back. Tiger's was also. They were still tossing Lider on the broken glass in the ring. Psicosis picks up some glass and blades Lider's forehead open.

Super Calo, Zumbido, Scorpio Jr., Alan Stone     vs     Oriental, Alebrije, El Zorro, Latin Lover

1 Fall:  Ref is Pepe Tropicasas.  I still think Alan Stone has the best entrance in all of wrestling. Cuije still had the little walker with him. The rudo beat down begins right away. Cuije is attacked by Guapito walker and all. Scorpio rams Latin's head into the announcers desk. Calo did a splash on Oriental. Zorro gets a 4 on 1 beat down, and gets the leg drop/senton spot from Stone and Zumbido. Lating gets tossed into the post. The tecs get their comeback with use of Zorro and his kendo stick. Latin smacks Stone's head into the announcers desk. Alebrije and Zumbido fight their way onto the stage. Albrije tosses a chair at him. Calo gets drop kicked in the corner. Cuije hits Guapito with his walker. The match settles down by this point. Both sides trade moves back and forth. Oriental does a flying head scissors to Zumbido from the top to the outside. Alebrije does a missile drop kick to Stone. Zorro gives Stone a belly to belly suplex to the outside on top of Zumbido. Stone does a cross body on Latin. Zorro does a pescado to the outside on Stone, but didn't get much of him. Zumbido did a plancha outside on Alebrije. Calo does one to Alebrije. Oriental does a torneo/moonsault to the group outside. Latin sunset flips Scorpio for a near fall. Latin did a 'rana for another near fall on Scorpio. Scorpio accidentally punches ref. Tropicasas when Latin moved. Latin then does a Majistral cradle and pins Scorpio for the win. Then La Secta and Konnan come out and beat down Latin. The promoter came out and they beat him up too. The promoter, Latin, Zorro were all taken out on stretchers. The ring was filling with garbage thrown by fans. La Secta are still trying to get at Latin as he is loaded into an ambulance in the back. Security is trying to pull them away, Cuervo was still in the ambulance as it took off.

Mesias is interviewed by Zuniga, he says he's not worried about La Parka, who is going to regret being involved with him, and Cibernetico is close to being finished.

La Parka says he plans to retire Kenzo Suzuki, when Zuniga says retirement is a strong word, Parka says he's already won such matches with Muerte Cibernetica and Cibernetico(but they've since come back). Parka says he has re injured his arm but he knows he can do it. Parka calls Kenzo=Menso Tamaguchi, he says that's the way you say his name is Spanish.

Kenzo Suzuki, Mesias, Ozz             vs             Cibernetico, Chessman, La Parka

1 Fall:  Ref. is Tirantes Sr. The Legion attacks right after the intros and the beat down is underway. Parka is choking Kenzo with his own sling, but Konnan knocks him off with his crutch. More garbage is raining down into the ring, this seems one unhappy crowd. Konnan was choking Parka with his crutch. Chessman saved him. Kenzo rams Parka's injured arm into the announcers desk. Ozz and Konnan toss Chessman into the first row. Ozz hits Chessman with a chair. Ciber gets hit in the belly with a chair, but ducks a double clothesline as Kenzo and Mesias nail Ozz, and the comeback began. However there seem to a big rough cut here, as the Legion are suddenly back in control and doing another beat down. Parka has his arm taped to his body as the Doc is leading him to the back. It's now 3 on 2. They spend alot of time chopping Ciber and Chessman. Mesias hits Ciber with the crutch. Kenzo rams his head into Ciber's tummy. Then Zorro comes out and using his stick makes the save. Konnan is nailed with a tossed bottle and is chased to the back. Kenzo and Chessman wrestle for a minute or two, then Ciber comes in and chokeslams Kenzo. Zorro comes in and cleans house on them for a while. Then Chessman spears Mesias, then Kenzo, then Chessman went up but Konnan came back and was hitting Chessman with his crutch, knocking him off. Mesias pinned Chessman for the win.  La Secta then came out to join in the beat down as more garbage rains down in the ring.  Ciber says afterward, his plate is getting full, and he wants to finish this, and issues a hair vs hair cage match challenge to them for Triplemania 15.

And that wraps up this show, as the credits roll, they list all the entrance music they use and who performed them.  Pretty good show this week. Have a good week. My reviews are at http://vicsixx42.spaces.live.com.

Galavision Lucha Libre Report for 7/7/07

Galavision Lucha Libre Report
For the show that aired on June 7, 2007

This is the lucky show that aired on 7/7/07, was taped in Cozumel, Mexico. It opens with the announcers on a beach, with a cruise ship in the back ground, Jesus Zuniga is counting Mesias doing deep knee bends, he gets up to 98, 99, 100. He talks about how he gets ready for a match and we see him working out.

Gran Apache is interviewed by Zuniga, he talks about wanting to destroy Billy Boy, Zuniga asks why don't you just give him a Martinette and be done with it. Apache says no, he wants to destroy him slowly, piece by piece. As Zuniga walks away he says Apache has lost it.

Super Fly and Laredo Kid                 vs                   Super Calo and Gran Apache

The Air Force attacks as soon as they come out, but it soon settles down to Apache vs Super Fly, Fly gives him a standing moonsault but misses a moonsault from the top when Apache moves. Calo gives Fly a clothesline from the top, Fly gives Calo a huricanrana coming off the top. Laredo gives Calo an enzuigiri, then Laredo gives him a top rope elbow drop but Apache saved him. Apache and Calo go into a beat down on Laredo, Calo gives him an RKO, then the Fly gets beat down. Apache gives Laredo a nice swanton bomb. The Fly begins a comeback doing a moonsault to Apache to the outside. Calo does a sunset flip from the top to Laredo but doesn't hold it, Laredo monkey flips him to the outside, then goes up and does a plancha to him to the outside. They've started doing replays in split screen format, so you no longer miss out on action, a dramatic improvement. The Fly does a reverse tope on Apache. With both Calo and Fly standing on the top rope, Calo does a 'rana to him. Calo on his to do a tope on the Fly gets drop kicked from the apron by Laredo on the way out, sending him off target. Laredo does a plancha inside the ring on Apache then a enzuigiri, then a suplex, then a shooting star press but Apache got his knees up. Calo does a leg drop on Laredo who was held horizontally by Apache, then Apache does a standing senton and pins Laredo for the win. A good match. They showed a shot of a woman who had a tattoo of Cibernetico on her breast. Now that's devotion.

They show Alfa asking around to find where Apache trains prospective luchadors. He finds him and as Alfa approaches we watch Apache and Calo putting these poor trainees to a hella workout. Alfa tries to attract Apache's attention, after several attempts he does, and he asks him if Apache will train him. Apache says he's too busy right now, but come back next week, maybe next week. At the risk of spoiling the angle, Alfa is Billy Boy's former Identity. Those poor trainees.

We are back at the beach where Konnan introduces us to the women he's brought in to teach the AAA women a lesson. Ayako Hamada and former WWE diva Angel Williams. He says he also has a Mexican woman with us, he brings in Faby Apache who he asks to join up. Konnan says the Mexican women are awful, Sexy Star is terrible, and he calls Cinthia Moreno scarface. (that's mean). Faby says she has worked with Ayako in Japan and looks forward to working with her again here.  Konnan says if they pass the test tonight they will have protection of the Legion and the Vipers.

So began the tecnicas comeback. Cinthia tosses Angel into the post. Cinthia did a superplex on Faby. Cinthia from the top did  a sort of Doomsday Device on Ayako. Angel gets a double suplex.

Faby leg drops Cinthia for a 2 count. Cinthia does a side Victory Roll on Faby, Salazar slow counts but he does eventually count 3. Tecnicas win. Afterward Angel and Ayako attack Faby. They beat her up but out comes Gran Apache for the save, but then out came La Secta and they attack both Apaches. Ayako hit Gran square on the head with a chair. They tossed Gran out, but Faby was still getting beaten on so Gran got back in to try to protect her. Both got stomped on. Incidentally Angel is awful.

Some week, huh? Like many of you, I'm still reeling from the Chris Benoit tragedy and finding some way of dealing with it. I have an autistic little sister and I can tell you kids like her and Daniel require a tremendous amount of patience and inner strength, I guess Benoit didn't have the inner strength we thought he did.

There was no interview this week. Although they did ask the fans who they liked. Mephisto & Averno vow to win the tag team titles tonight.

Mistico did a huricanrana on Averno for a pin attempt but Mephisto did a missile drop kick and kicked him off. Mephisto did a kind of small package DDT on Mistico and got a 2 count. Mistico did another 'rana but Mephisto kicked out at 2. Mistico seem to try it again but Mephisto threw him off, and Averno gave him a standing senton, and Mephisto had Negro held down, but ref. Tigre Hispano seem to give a slow two count, Mistico kicked out. They really shouldn't use this ref on matches of this type. Averno & Mephisto chop Negro and Averno does another power bomb to him and tries a pin, but Negro reached the ropes. Averno and Mephisto power bomb Negro together and pin him together but Mistico did a missile drop kick to both of them kicking them off.

Averno gets Negro into a reverse figure four leg lock in the middle of the ring, and Negro starts screaming, Negro even grabs the legs of the ref, but he somehow manages to reach the ropes to break it up. Negro does a knee breaker on Averno and then locks on a reverse figure four of his own, but Mephisto comes to knock him off, Negro didn't let go on the first blow, but he did on the second. Negro goes for his Casita but Mephisto comes in and kicks him off. Negro does a 'rana on Mephisto and Mistico does a 'rana on Averno at the same time but both kick out at 2. Negro does a silla outside to Mephisto, and Mistico does a plancha to Averno outside. Back inside, Negro does a "Mistico" to Averno and he submits, and Mistico does a Casita to Mephisto and pins him for the win. Mistico and Negro retain their belts. This third fall was very good and very long. Averno and Mephisto congratulate Negro and Mistico, shake their hands and even put the belts on them.

That wraps up this show. I thought it was pretty good. My reviews are at, http://vicsixx42.spaces.live.com.
