adding details not mentioned with the previous post:
– the only people who weren’t there as on the final card were the minis! That’s as much an upset as anything.
– no one’s still sure what women’s title was on the line (which speaks to how prestigious it was), but UWF seems the best guess.
– After winning in the semifinal to get out of the tournament, Fishman Jr. announced he’s changing name (and gear) to “Black Fish”
– Not only did Blue Demon pick up a pin on Santo, but he attacked him after the mask win. That’s clearly the headline feud for the new promotion, which we have no more details about.
There appears to be some thought the Super Muenco injury angle was NOT an angle and things were rebooked as a result. Without any more information, I don’t buy it – once you got down to the final four, Pentagon Black is the obvious loser and Santo was already booked to beat him for his mask (in LA, for a show that never happened.) This same commission that “ordered” the change to a triangle match was involved in an angle with IWRG in the Fantasma de la Opera/Black Terry title match just this last week, so it’s not like they’re beyond working with a promotion to get a storyline over.
Ovaciones confirms the Mistico injury story, but offers no new details and doesn’t mention the 3 months abscene. (They also mention there was a rumor Mistico was shot, which isn’t true.) Televisa Deportes also reported on Mistico’s injury, but I haven’t seen it. CMLL hasn’t mentioned Mistico’s injury on their site yet.
(superluchas) CMLL’s Tuesday shows have started airing on Mexico network Cadena Tres. It’s 28 in DF and 128 on cable systems. Pierroth is one of the announcers, which must be interstinng.
to recap CMLL’s current TV picture:
1) Friday is airing on Galavision Mexico
2) one hour of Sunday is on Fox Sports
3) one hour of Sunday (and Friday) is on CAN52
4) highlights of Tuesday are on Azteca
5) matches from Tuesday are on Cadena Tres
Haven’t found a webfeed for cadenatres yet. This does mean all the main CMLL matches are airing somewhere. If you have access to this channel and this show (which airs on Sundays, though I have no idea when), I’d love to hear what’s airing each week and what you think about it.
I posted video of the DeporTV highlights below. It’s a 5 minute segment with
2) Molotov, Starman, Trueno b Calígula, Méssala, Zayco
3) Atomo, Mascarita Dorada, Shockercito b Pequeño Black Warrior, Pequeño Damian 666, Pierrothito
5) Lizmark Jr., Mephisto, Sangre Azteca b La Sombra, Valiente, Volador Jr.
I think I told Robert it was 1-3, but that’s because the segunda sure looks like an opener match. I presume this means 4 and 6 aired on the new show.
Accion
CMLL had the hair match finale. The story was Shocker trapped Rey’s leg in a chair and moved just in time for Warrior to tope his own partner. The highlights looked just okay, though Lizmark Jr.’s fierman’s carry spinning powerbomb to finish Bucanero was horrible.
AAA appears to have gone back to the Xalapa taping, as the match which aired here was Elegido/Parka/Octagon/Porky vs Head Hunter/Konnan/Mesias/X-Pac. We see a really bad X-Pac/Elegidio sequence, and it’s not X-Pac’s fault. X-Pac also got to catch a Porky apron dive, so fun day for him. Finish was so horribly great: Hijo de Tirantes watched Konnan and Eleigdo in for the end game, Konnan blatantly fouled Parka, and Hijo de Tirantes belatedly realized he wasn’t supposed to have been looking in that direction. Mesias stole the pin, which caused ISSUES.
Ron Killings mentions on his mySpace that he’s left TNA, so he may be turning up in AAA some more. Mesias is already back in TNA.
