AAA/CMLL Friday Preview

Ultimo Guerrero, PROfessional wrestler

Both CMLL and AAA have TV Tapings today.

CMLL (FRI) 08/31 Arena Mexico
1) Metálico & Tony Rivera vs Arkangel de la Muerte & Nitro
2) Fabian El Gitano, Mascara Purpura, Valiente vs Euforia, Nosferatu, Shigeo Okumura
3) Felino, Heavy Metal, Sagrado vs Ephesto, Texano Jr., Virus
4) Blue Panther, Negro Casas, Sombra vs Averno, Lizmark Jr., Mephisto
5) el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Héctor Garza, Villano V vs Tozcano, Último Guerrero, Universo 2000

ESTO’s preview focuses on Universo 2000’s return. This is what passes as a major story for this card. Ovaciones just runs the lineup, writing more about the press conference.

Panther, Lizmark and Ultimo should kinda be in the same match if we’re meant to believe that’ll be the main event at the anniversary show. I guess alternate plans get set up here.

AAA is in a bullring in Moroleon.

AAA TV (FRI) 08/31 Plaza de Toros Moroleon
1) Aero Star, Pegasso, Rey Cometa vs Alfa, Gran Apache, Toxico AAA
2) Cinthia Moreno & Estrellita vs Ayako Hamada & Kaoru Ito
3) Alan Stone, Chris Stone, Super Calo vs ?, Scorpio Jr., Zumbido
4) Alebrije, el Ángel, Extreme Tiger, Tinieblas Jr. vs Cuervo, Escoria, Espíritu, Ozz
5) Cibernetico & La Parka Jr. vs El Mesias & Kenzo Suzuki

There’s been little buzz for Zumbido and Scorpio’s partner. I think everyone’s presuming Shocker has jumped back to AAA. He hasn’t been listed on a show since the first week of July and hasn’t been mentioned much in that time. Shocker leaving CMLL to go to AAA was a much bigger deal two years ago, and he has nowhere near the momentum after his diminished performances. Hopefully he’ll finally get back on track, but it’s smart move by AAA to not just catapult him back to the top.

Elsewise, we’ve got a lot of random filler, as everyone who’s heading to Japan besides Cibernetico (and backstage types) have been left off this card. The main event is typical, but there’s stuff on the undercard you don’t normally see: Gran Apache and crew vs the lesser Air Force, the first women’s match since June without Fabi, Tinieblas Jr.’s continued existence and so on. This may be Angel’s first match back from the Warped Tour, and it should be his first TV appearance since Feburary.

  1. The partner should be either Hator or maybe it is shocker.

    Shouldn’t the Stone/Calo trio be Technico’s maybe?
