TV Show Index additions

I dunno if anyone necessarily uses these pages, but I’ve had TV indexes up for the major shows in Mexico, going back to 2003. This is all built onto the event listings, so I can’t add a TV show unless I have info about the event and what date the event aired (a problem with AAA; CMLL is more predictable).

Anyway, I’ve added some new features to these pages.
– TV index pages now include a link to any recap of the show I’ve found. They’re listed on the right side when avialable,a dn should take you as close to the show recap as I can get (you may still have to do a little searching.) I said I’d do this long ago, and it’s cool to have it finally done. If you know of another place I should be looking for recaps, let me know.
– If you rather look at the recaps by author, I’ve got that too. Probably needs to look a little nicer, but it’s functional. Each page includes a link to the recap, and the show main event so you know what’s what.
– Converting from GalaUS to GalaMex isn’t the easiest thing. So, I’ve added a a conversion list, matching up US air dates to Mexico air dates. I haven’t actually figured out how this is going to work on the old split shows.

I don’t have any links to my stuff in there yet, but that’s because I know where I can find it. Finding, say, random DVDVR reviews, is a bit harder.

Things to do
– programming an easy way to edit episodes (I’ve only needed to add and delete) so I can get rid of some mistakes
– adding more shows to the Galavision listings (it’s only about 70% up)
– adding AULL (based off Chui’s Lucha Crunchers)
– figuring out how/if to include Chui’s Lucha Crunchers
– adding in Victor’s old stuff that’s still on the Observer and I’ve got linked elsewhere
– tracking down those DVDVR reviews
– figuring out IWRG
– adding earlier results to add earlier shows, even if it’s just ripping them out of TV recaps (circular)

I have no idea when I’ll do any of this.

Suggestions? Ideas? Questions about the use of my time?

02/10 and 03/18 Chicago Lucha Shows

TWO shows announced. So weird.

Again, ELL-MEX put a poster up on the Telvisa board and no where else I’ve seen:

Cierco, huh, and ending around 11 PM? Well, I didn’t have that much to live for anyway.

Don’t read into the Estrellas de AAA thing, it’s just wackiness. As you can see, this is the tribute show mentioned on the Observer site a couple days ago.

Congress Theatre’s next show is March 18th, with Park/Santo vs Shocker/Demon. So, yes, two Santo appearances in two months.

I’ve forbid myself from mentioning which shows I will and not go to, since that turns into lies and no one really cares.

The biggest news, though, is Congress Theater referee El Apenitas got was praised in a Matamoros newspaper. If there’s some connection between Apenitas and Matamoros, it’s not mentioned in the article. Someone’s gotta know that story.

02/09 AAA TV news

1) Octagoncito, La Parkita, Mascarita Divina vs Mini Abismo Negro, Mini Chessman, Mini Charly Manson
2) Alan Stone, Zumbido vs Escoria & Espiritu vs Alan, Decnnis vs Hator, Chris Stone [AAA TAG]

Oh gosh, Mexican Powers vs Old, Angry Men is not a one off match, it’s a feud. They had to get LA Park back on TV so people would vote for him, but if he’s turning rudo and not just feuding with the Hell Brothers, he’d gotta cost his team the match here.

Espiritu/Scoria have already beaten Alan Stone/Zumdbio, so it’s either
Alan Stone & Zumbido vs Alan & Decnnis and Espiritu & Scoria vs Hator & Chris Stone
OR Alan Stone & Zumbido vs Hator & Chris Stone and Espiritu & Scoria vs Alan & Decnnis

I wonder if Intocable and Elegido are ever going to have their second match in this tournament.

The main event of the 02/05 show – Hellbrothers vs Dark Family – is a cage match.

Speaking of AAA, Ovaciones has an interview with Mr. Niebla. He talks about the six sided ring being an adjustment, but not much new otherwise.

GdR #62

From 01/27. The usual.

I’m like an hour into the last pre-Best of AAA episodes (all three I plan to rush thru just to get the match info), but after missing out on the DVDVR minis tournament, I want to participate in the 2006 Best Of one, so recaps may still be slow in coming.
