Accion had
CMLL: Shocker vs Hector Garza
AAA: Guapos vs Stones cage match.
It was Accion’s 1500 episode, so they were also airing classic highlights. We saw the Infernales (MS-1, Pirata, Satanico) win a match in Arena Mexico on July 18, 1989.

DeporTV was doing a Top 10 Moves Of The Year – but it really was just ten highspots from a couple shows in October. Most, though not all, was from the 10/02 Rey de Aires. La Mistica was #2, Valiente’s dive was #1.
