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

For the show that aired on September 16, 2007

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 8/12/07

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

1st Fall:  Nosferatu and Rivera start it off slowly exchanging moves. Rivera gets a quick 2 count with a back slide. After a while Euforia and Mictlan get in, Mictlan power slams Euforia. Then Virus and Stuka get in, Stuka does a plancha from the top inside the ring, Stuka tried a 'rana but Virus turned it into a power bomb and pinned him. Nosferatu does a version of a Boston crab and submits Rivera.

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
