Results from CMLL card broadcast from Arena Coliseo, Mexico City, D.F.
over Galavision on Sunday, May 17, 1992.
Popularity Ratings: No ratings this week.
News: Luis Barajas, "El Faraon," is back. Veteran CMLL watchers will
remember Faraon's brilliant bloodfest with Pirata Morgan about a
year-and-a-half ago. I've not seen him since, and assumed he had
retired. Well, he's back... and a welcome addition to the CMLL talent
roster.
Kendo Nagasaki is also back, probably scouting talent for SWS. It was
sort of amusing to watch him work with El Ultimo Dragon, considering
that Nagasaki's last identity in a major US federation was The Dragon
Master in WCW. People may remember that Nagasaki was responsible for
bringing Keiji Muto to the USA for the first time (as Super Black
Ninja). If Hitoshi Oi is reading this, maybe he can tell us why
Nagasaki is back in Mexico. Hitoshi, are you out there?
First Match: Guerrero de la Muerte (masked - Mexico), Supremo I (masked
- Mexico), and Supremo II (masked - Mexico) (heels) vs. El Gran Apache
(Mexico), America (masked - Mexico), and Solar II (masked - Mexico);
Roberto Rangel and Pepe Casas (referees); faces win 2/3 falls.
Translations: Guerrero de la Muerte=Death Warrior.
This was the first time I've ever seen El Gran Apache (The Great
Apache), and I was very impressed by his acrobatics. He can't be more
than about 5'2" or so, but he's a real worker.
First Fall: Apache walks the top rope unassisted, then jumps to the
floor - just an example of this guy's balancing act! Later, he pins
Supremo II.
Second Fall: Supremo II pins Solar II after a suplex.
Third Fall: Solar II pins Supremo I with a Frankensteiner. This fall
also featured several wild planchas from Apache and America. America's
leap was aided by Solar II, who boosted him WAY over the top rope in
his suicide plancha.
Second Match:
La Tigresa (masked - Mexico), La Diabolica (masked - Mexico), and
Martha Villalobos (Mexico) (heels) vs. Xochitl Hamada (Mexico), Cynthia
Moreno (Mexico), and Lady Apache (Mexico) (faces); Pepe Casas and
Rafael Almaya (referees); faces win 2/3 falls.
First Fall: Moreno pins Villalobos with the assistance of Hamada and
Lady Apache. Cynthia had begun to execute a sunset flip on the gigantic
Martha, but as the fat one was about to sit down on her, Hamada and
Apache hit her with a double clothesline, thus completing the flip.
Second Fall: Martha pins all 3 tecnicas with a 747 from the second
rope.
Third Fall: Apache pins Villalobos with a bridge after Martha was
simultaneously drop kicked from the top rope by Moreno and Apache.
Third Match:
El Gran Markus, Jr. (masked - Mexico), El Angel Blanco, Jr. (masked -
Mexico), and El Felino (masked - Mexico) (heels) vs. Ringo Mendoza
(Mexico), El Faraon (Mexico), and Ciclon Ramirez (masked - Mexico);
Roberto Rangel and Pepe Casas (referees); faces win 2/3 falls.
Translation: El Faraon=The Pharaoh (Barajas doesn't do an Egyptian
gimmick - I have NO idea why he's called Faraon).
This is the first time I've seen Gran Markus for many a moon - at least
8 months. Has he been in the UWA?
First Fall: Mendoza pins Angel Blanco.
Second Fall: Angel Blanco pins Mendoza with a 747 from the top rope.
Third Fall: Ramirez nails Felino right in the center of the ring with a
great Frankensteiner. It was only in this fall that Faraon began to
unwind a little bit. Look for some great action from this guy in coming
weeks.
After the match, Felino screams about wanting the title (Mexican
welterweight) and mask of Ciclon Ramirez. Ramirez says first he'll
wrestle a mask vs. mask match, then they'll see about the title shot.
Fourth Match:
La Fiera (Mexico), Kendo Nagasaki (Japan), and Blue Panther (masked -
Mexico) (heels) vs. Apolo Dantes (Mexico), Ultimo Dragon (masked -
Japan), and Atlantis (masked - Mexico); Roberto Rangel and Rafael
Almaya (referees); faces win 2/3 falls.
Nagasaki looks positively huge next to these guys. Herb says Asai is
supposed to weigh about 200 lbs., but I'd be surprised if he weighs 180
lbs.
First Fall: Dantes pins Blue Panther with a bridge.
Second Fall: Kendo Nagasaki pins Atlantis.
Third Fall: Blue Panther slugs Atlantis right in the balls directly in
front of Roberto Rangel - DQ!
