Month: September 2003

Sunday’s CMLL show (to be repeated late tonigth) is a partial repeat of #72 (01/26/03)
– Zumbido/Arkangel/Nosawa vs Ricky Marvin/Virus/Volador Jr. (build up to Zumbido/Marvin, good match)
– GdI vs Shocker/Vampiro/Atlantis

This was the first show after the weeks with no show way back when, so that’s probably why they choose that tape. I’d love to get an e-mail adress of someone in programming to ask them why they didn’t just show another new week of CMLL, or why they feel the need to show the same show twice instead of airing all AAA once and then two hours of CMLL the other time.

What aired on CMLL this morning (and will air at least for the Pacific feed later, and probably the Saturday->Sunday overnight)
– Third Fall Only: Los Guapos vs Lizmark/Niebla/Vampiro
– GdI/Violencia vs Infernales (GdI is using a cover of “We Will Rock You” all the sudden)
– Black Tiger, Super Crazy, Dr. Wagner vs Atlantis, Sagarado, NJPW’s Heat

There was some clipping – the show ran 45-50 minutes. I didn’t see Spectacular Moments, so they might have just taken out that segment to make time.

AAA looks like (yet another) replay of Triple Mania 11.

CMLL.com has posted their recap of the anniversery show with pictures – so you can see how Tarzan looks bald, Violencia looks without his mask, Pierroth partying with a newly won mask, and Shocker mugging for the camera.

Newsbits:

– Silva is back on 10/03. This is what they said before, I believe.
– Havana Brothers will also be back in early October, and will have a surprise new member! I’m presuming it’s Ricky.
– Violencia, who’s teamed with Rey and Ultimo in the past, is pushed as a unoffical GdI member in his post-mask period. No mention of Tarzan Boy…
– Black Tiger defeated Vampiro on 9/23 (recap seems to indicate the crowd favored Tiger by the end of it), so they’ll meet again next week for the NWA LH Title.

Although I don’t know for sure what’ll air on Galavision, they’re airing eight hours of it. So at least maybe it won’t all be reruns?

Reports on the Anniversary Show TV episode say these matches aired:
– Last Two Falls of Volador/Virus/Marvin vs Havana Brothers
– GdI vs Casas/Perro Jr. for the CMLL Tag Team Titles
– Pierroth vs Violencia, hair/mask

Notice something missing? Second hand reports have that main event not going so well.

Why you should never listen to me: They ended up airing about a half hour of CMLL before the AAA today. However, it was just repeats of the second two matches from #69 (Arena Coliseo, 01/03/03): Pierroth/Black Tiger/Tarzan Boy vs Atlantis/Super Crazy/Super Porky and Mr. Niebla vs Dr. Wagner.

You didn’t miss anything if you missed it.
