full breakdown here

AAAUS: Galavision’s online listings haven’t been updated, but it appears there’s no overnight showing this week, for the first time in a long time. (It’s pre-empted for a U19 game.) The other broadcasts are three hours, about the usual time, and should wrap up TripleMania.

CAN52: Keep forgetting to note they’ve added a 4th airing of this show, early Monday morning. I don’t know much what’s going to air here, but I’m guessing it’s random stuff since the last two feuds have ended up here.

FSE: Repeat before the new episode, once again. I’m hoping Rey/Atlantis is fun. Please do not shatter my hopes.

AAAUS: 3 hour show. Air Force should be fun, but it should always be fun. This is still in the place keeping mode.

CMLLUS: Normal length. Maybe they’re setting up LIZMARK JUNIOR vs VILLANO V, because Blue Panther was too interesting.

08/15: Coliseo, Irapuato, Tijuana

08/15: Coliseo, Irapuato, Tijuana

CMLL (TUE) 08/14 Arena Coliseo [ovaciones, josel @ box y lucha]
1) Rayo Tapatio I & Rayo Tapatio II DQ Artillero & Super Comando
2) India Sioux, Luna Magica, Marcela b Diosa Maya, Mima Shimoda, Rosa Negra
3) Flash, Metalico, Super Nova b Canek Jr., Goto, Okumura
4) Euforia, Misterioso II, Nosferatu b La Mascara, Sombra, Valiente
5) Atlantis, Toscano, Ultimo Guerrero b Heavy Metal, Rey Bucanero, Sagrado

Hirooki Goto is booked on 08/26 and 09/02 NJPW affiliated shows, so this may have been one of his last matches in Mexico.

AAA (MON) 08/13 Gimnasio Municipal Irapuato [el Sol de Irapuato]
1) Cinthia Moreno & Fabi Apache b Ayako Hamada & Kaoru Ito
2) Roberto Paz Jr. & Shiryu Dragon b Apocalipsis (NWG) & Makabre [NWG EXTREME TAG]
3) El Elegido & Zorro DQ Escoria & Ozz
4) Charly Manson, Chessman, Cibernetico b Abismo Negro, Kenzo Suzuki, X-Pac

Escoria replaced Cuervo, but the DQ came from Abismo Negro running in to martiente Zorro. That was odd, because Abismo Negro wasn’t supposed to be on this show. It turned out he was replacing Mesias in the main event.

AAA (SUN) 08/19 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]
1) Candy & Iron Extreme vs Invasor & La Bandida
2) Dranser & Panteria del Ring II vs Euforia (Monterrey) & Mercurio
3) Aguila Extrema, Guerrero Blanco, Iron vs Jesse, Nygma, Polvo de Estrellas [capitans bull terrier]
4) Chiva Rayada I & May Flowers vs Monje Negro II & Rey Infernal
5) El Elegido, Hombre Sin Miedo, Pimpinela vs ?, Hator, Picudo

WWA (FRI) 08/17 Auditorio de Tijuana [DamianXtreme @ Satanico’s Mansion]
1) Extasis vs Star Boy, Black Spider, Phantom, Inferno, Thunderboy, Thundermaks, Extreme Kid, Silver Star, Animaniac [toreno del air]
2) Pentagon Black vs Ogun, El Solitario Jr., Hijo de Rey Misterio, Black Panther I, Black Panther II, Pierroth Jr., Rayman [mask]
3) El Dandy & Super Parka vs Nicho & Rey Misterio Sr. [WWA TAG]

I guess they’re resetting the tag titles again.

Guerreros del Ring #100 has Atlantis with a photoshopped belt.

AAA #637, taped 07/15, aired 08/11

I decided to skip ahead, again. I wouldn’t mind catching up part of this week, but it sure doesn’t seem like it’ll happen (though I might be able to dip into my DVDs again. We’ll see.)

Like the GdR singles matches this weekend, I was left wanting more out of the parajes incredibles match. I had some hope for great, and probably did not appreciate good as much as I could’ve. I’m interested in seeing what we get for the mask match next weekend.

Street fight was the exact ridiculous match I thought it would be. You think they’ll be doing a Fuerza/Juvi hair/mask match down the road? I can’t see Fuerza not getting his win back somewhere, and it’d allow them to continue not doing Octagon/Fuerza.

What I got out of the main event is AAA knew they had nothing in the Animal, knew it before he stepped thru the entrance, just based on the way he was the least important man in the match. (Less so then Black Pearl, who appeared to book himself into the match.) The little we saw of the Animal, he came off as the bankrupt man’s Perro Aguayo, but even that’s been kind. He couldn’t work and he didn’t look good, and AAA didn’t seem to be expecting more, so – why was he out there? All I can figure is multiple plans for a mystery guy must have fallen thru, and the Animal was just their reserve plan.

I have no idea how/why they expect other people to care about their next mystery man – say, like the one coming up in two tapings – when they have this sort of track record for them.
