12/29 – 30 Lucha Times

box

FSE (US): LEONO VS MR. MEXICO. This is repeated later this night, repeated next Monday and next Sunday. Notably, there’s no new episode listed for next week.

The last two episodes repeat air Thursday night/Friday morning.

CAN52: Minis rematch, and Perros vs Guerreros.

AAA (US): Mesias/Konnan have ISSUES. Also Scorpio/Zumbido vs Alan/Intocable in a chain match.

AAA #654

AAA #654, taped 10/26/07, aired in US 12/08

I recapped this five days prior to typing the blurb, and have no memory of it. Bad sign for one of us. There’s nothing really great here, mostly lesser version of stuff they’ve done a lot of times in this stretch – better Night Queens/Pimpi/Cassandro, better minis matches, probably better Guapos/Stones matches.

Mesias was kept from doing anything here. It’s strange they had enough faith in him being fine enough to have a singles match with Cibernetico (a long night) two weeks from a show where they didn’t want him to take a bump.

12/26: Mexico

CMLL (TUE) 12/25 Arena Mexico [cmll, ova, TAKER @ elmartinete]
1) Sensei & Sombrita de Plata b Artillero & Pólvora
2) Mr. Aguilita, Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Halloween DQ Bam Bam, Fantasy, Mascarita Dorada
3) Fabián el Gitano, Máximo, Metálico b Diamante Negro, Nitro, Skandalo
4) Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero, Shocker b Apocalipsis, Averno, Pierroth
5) Sangre Azteca b La Máscara [MEX WELTER]

Sangre hangs onto the title! A mild surprise, Sangre even escaped La Mascara’s campana. He’s now been champion for a full year, though this is the first time he’s done anything with it on TV since he won it (though he’s defended it elsewhere a bit.) I hope he does now.

Apocalispis replaced Lizmark Jr., MIA. (Olimpico was shown on the poster, so I’m not sure what’s going on there.)

Mini Damian fouled Dorada in the segunda. The CMLL news about this feud must’ve been written in a hurry, because Dorada is referred to as Mascarita Sagrada and they tease a mask vs mask feud (which would be tough.) The Minis cibernetico is a week from this Friday and should push this feud father on.

Arturo Rivera mentions that Decnnis and an AAA security won a 10,000 peso dance contest at the AAA year end dinner.

DELGADO (TUE) 12/25 El Paso
