Day: June 9, 2005

This is why you should wait till the end of the week to set your VCR; when I checked GALA on Tuesday, they listed lucha for the normal times on both Saturday and Sunday. That changed on Wednesday.

Saturday: Most will get the show from 11 am to 1 pm EST; some west coasters will get it at the normal time. (Oddly, my Tivo is saying the show’s on at 11:30; regardless, the late night version is on at the normal time.) Show will at least have Vampiro’s first AAA match and the first Nicho/Psicosis match in AAA.

Sunday: No show listed.

Show are being bumped for U20 Soccer World Cup action. The tournament is scheduled to last until July 2nd, so I’d expect a couple more weeks of shifting.

I need to put together an Yet To Air AAA Tapings page soon; it’s much more a pain to figure out lineups when you don’t know when the following taping was.

IWRG’s Corporacion visited Ovaciones offices. Veneno promised to retain the IWRG middleweight title tonight, over Black Dragon. Cerebro Negro & Dr. Cerebro promise to defend the tag titles as soon as there’s a worthy team to challenge them. Black Pentagon, Black Tiger and Pantera are happy to overcome all the other teams and win the IC trios tournament. The group wants to challenge Los Payasos for their Mexican State Trios Championship, though they haven’t decided which three guys will form the team.

The leader of the group, and the only one without the belt, Scorpio Jr. wants a rematch with Heavy Metal to get the IWRG Heavyweight Championship back. He’s going to be celebrating his 20th anniversary of wrestling on August 30th, and would love to get the title back then.

LuchaInsider says Dr. Wagner and Canek want more than CMLL is willing to pay for a mask/mask match to headline the anniversary show. Instead, we may get a Perro Aguayo/Mistico hair/mask match.
