EMLL . indy . EMLL DF . All
EMLL (FRI) 12/06/1968 Arena México [Lucha Libre 269]
1) Estrella Blanca b Tauro
2) El Leopardo DRAW Rafael Venezuela
3) Espanto III b Raúl Torres
4) Espanto II b Tony Stone
5) Manuel Polman DQ El Nazi
6) Huracán Ramírez b Alfonso Dantes
Ramirez took 1/3
7) El Santo, Mil Máscaras, Ray Mendoza b El Solitario, Karloff Lagarde, Rene Guajardo
Teniccos took 2/3. Solitario got the worst of it in a main event, building to an apuesta match with Mendoza (!)
Event Notes: first show in Arena Mexico in a while.
EMLL (FRI) 12/13/1968 Arena México [Box y Lucha 980, DJ Spectro, SL NEW 17]
1) Espectro DRAW Sergio Borrayo
2) Renato Torres b Rafael Valenzuela
3) El Enfermero b Raúl Torres
4) Alfonso Dantes b Raúl Reyes
5) Huracán Ramírez & Mil Máscaras b Dr. Wagner & Gran Markus
6) El Solitario b Ray Mendoza [hair]
Solitario had his mask on the line. Mendoza was hurt early in the first fall, submitted, and ruled unable to continue. Fans were fine with Mendoza not getting shaved (because he was hurt and he was the tecnicos) but he shaved himself out of respect on the Tuesday. Seen as a big upset and a career defining win for Solitario.
7) El Santo DQ Rene Guajardo [NWA MIDDLE]
Missing from title histories, but appears to be correct. Rene loses the title by DQ for illegal punches (and disappears from EMLL for a while.)
EMLL (SUN) 12/15/1968 Arena Coliseo [Lucha Libre 271]
1) Benny Romero b Ringo Mendoza
first loss in Mexico City for Ringo Mendoza.
2) Chucho Villa b Conde Negro
3) Chino Chow b Cesar Valentino
4) Black Shadow, Carlos Moll, Manuel Polman b Dr. Wagner, Espanto II, Espanto III
Event Notes: guessing Arena Coliseo based on names involved, but not said.
EMLL (FRI) 12/20/1968 Arena México [Lucha Libre 271]
1) Estrella Blanca b Rubí Ruvalcaba
2) Sergio Borrayo b Benny Romero
3) Audaz b Manuel Robles
4) Goliath b Cesar Valentino
5) Manuel Polman b El Enfermero
6) Mil Máscaras & Rayo de Jalisco b Ángel Blanco & Dr. Wagner
sets up a Rayo/Blanco title match. Best match.
7) Black Shadow & El Santo b El Solitario & Rene Guajardo
Solitario now a huge star after beating Mendoza. Tecnicos win in straight fall, the last when Guajardo & Solitario break up.
EMLL (WED) 12/25/1968 Arena México [DJ Spectro, wrestling-titles]
1) El Solitario b Rene Guajardo [hair]
Solitario saves his mask for the second time in two weeks, a career making stretch.
Event Notes: Ray Mendoza beating Angel Blanco for the NWA LH title has been listed here, but Blanco is still defending the title in Feburary 1969. Title change appears to have happened on February 14th.
