AAA TV (SUN) 03/09 Plaza de Toros Silverio Perez, Texcoco, EdM
1) Ángel Mortal, Gallego, Mr. Cóndor vs Argenis, Gato Eveready, Pegasso
2) Joe Lider, Juventud Guerrera, Ultimo Gladiador vs Killer Clown, Psycho Clown, Zombie Clown
3) Billy Boy & Super Fly vs Antifaz del Norte & Histeria and Chris Stone & Super Calo [Rey de Reyes, qualifying]
4) Kenzo Suzuki, X-Pac, Zorro vs Extreme Tiger, Halloween, TJ Xtreme
5) ?, Intocable, Octagón vs Decnnis, Scorpio Jr., Zumbido
6) Charly Manson, Chessman, Cibernetico vs Abismo Negro, Head Hunter I, Ron Killings

Projected Air Date (#828)
Mexico: 03/24/08
US: 04/12/08

Cibernetico’s return to the ring. On TV, anyway. Look, Zorro even gets one last win before the agony starts.

I’m thinking the ? is more “we were hoping to have La Parka Jr. back by now” than an actual surprise.

Clowns win, check. I think Abismo wins his way into Rey de Reyes on the show before, bringing Psicosis with him, and so Billy and Super Fly sneak in to even it out. Billy’s going to feel really odd not losing his hair at Rey de Reyes this year.

Upcoming Tapings
03/16: Plaza de Toros Monumental, Monterrey, Nuevo Leon (Rey de Reyes)

03/04: Guadalajara, Colombia

CMLL

CMLL (SUN) 03/02 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [CMLL, MT]
1) Golden & Thunder Boy b Milenio & Valentin Mayo
2) Guero Loco & Impostor b Idolo & Virgo
3) Exterminador (Guadalajara), Infierno, Super Maquina b Casanova, Magnum, Metal Blanco
4) Gallo, Leon Blanco, Metalik b Malefico, Máscara Mágica, Toxico
5) Grey Shadow & Místico DQ Averno & Mephisto

CMLL says Averno lost to La Mistica, MT says Mephisto yanked Mistico’s mask just before the submission. About the same.

Sunday’s Arena Coliseo card has been changed from having a women’s trios to only having Dark Angel vs Amapola for the title. Considering the other four were Blanca, Sahori, La Nazi and Medussa, that’s a win. I’m thinking they might still save the title change for Arena Mexico, but I don’t feel strongly about it.

Tonight’s the big Rey Bucanero vs Mr. Aguila battle for the CMLL Light Heavyweight Championshp. In Reforma, Rey blames incompetent refereeing for last week’s loss, but that’s all in the past. Tonight’s match, Rey says, looks to be a technical fight. (So we’ve got a finish involving a foul.)

Ovaciones has a short bio of Mentallo, making his Arena Mexico debut today. Canadians may be taking over CMLL.

WAT (FRI) 02/29 Coliseo El Campin, Bogota, Colombia [colombiandragon Colombiandragon @ el Martinete]
1) Comando DRAW Monje Rebelde
2) Stallone b Catedratico
3) Tony Guerrero DQ Spartako
4) Dick Misterio & Nightman b Enterrador 1 & Maluk
5) Sagitario vs Gemelo Halcon I, Gemelo Halcon II, Fishman, Hercules Negro [WAT Panam]

STALLONE.

Wrestlingdom.com says the Reyes de Reyes atomico is now a tag match. We’ll see.

Wrestlers (and boxers, and MMAs) have until Thursday to renew their license.

El Siglo de Torreon previews Saturday’s Wagner Promotions show. Meanwhile, the commissioner of sports in Torreon says again there will be no boxing or wrestling in (his) Auditorio Municipal Torreon. Basketball, volleyball and martiar arts only.

On the cover of the newest AAA’s Dos de Tres: Rey Misterio Jr.. I didn’t know they could do that.

indy (SUN) 03/16 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]
1) Konnan Big vs Recta

Recta, you may be surprised to hear, is a guy from TV. So unlike Konnan Big. It’s a guy from Televisa Monterrey in case you’re trying to remember which network they’re with that moment.

AAA (MON) 03/31 Domo de la Feria de Leon [am.com.mx]
1) Mini Dizzy & Octagoncito vs Mascarita de la Muerte & Mini Histeria
2) Billy Boy & Estrellita vs Gran Apache & Lady Apache
3) Alan Stone, Chris Stone, Super Calo vs Killer Clown, Psycho Clown, Zombie Clown
4) Espíritu, Mesias, Zorro vs Charly Manson, Chessman, Cibernetico

The show here scheduled for last night was “postponed to later this month, due to logistics”. Huh. Anyway, they get a better card the second try.

IWRG & TV Azteca talk about the new show

thecubsfan 4 Comments

Ovaciones has details on the IWRG/Azteca show.
– Even though it’s going to be IWRG running things, the shows are going to be called “Lucha Azteca”
– The program will air on Channel 7 (TV Azteca) starting Saturday, at 11 AM. It’s a one hour show.
– It will NOT air Mexico City.
– Silver King, Dr. Wagner Jr., Mascara Ano 2000, Tarzan Boy, Rayman, Turbo, Gronda, Pantera and LA Park are some of the non-IWRG regulars mentioned as working here. The usual mix of IWRG guys (Oficials, Jr. Capos) and UMLL indepedents (Hijos de Solitario and Anibal, Negro Navarro) round out the list. I guess we’ll know if CMLL has any issues with that by Friday.
– Announced taping schedule looks something like this:

03/05 Roots Magic Club: for 03/08, 03/15, 03/22?
03/22 Tampico: for 03/29, 04/05
04/06 Arena Naucalpan: for 04/12, 04/19
04/16 Roots Magic Club: for 04/26, 05/03
05/02 Centro Banamex/Lucha Libre Expo: for 05/10, 05/17
and two tapings per month for the rest of the year, if this keeps up. They’ve got 10 tapings planned, which takes them thru July.

RFC posted one press release, Black Terry Jr. has a longer version, where they mention running in 14 different cities. That’s a lot of expansion. Now that I’ve give up on it, there’s a IWRG roster too. I think if we’ve got Mini Skayde running around, they need to get the bigger Skayde showing up too.

I’ve seen a video feed for TV Azteca 7, but I’m not sure if this is Mexico City (and IWRG will be blocked out) or not. I couldn’t get it running myself.

IWRG’s website is down, but has been for a few days. Maybe they can get Azteca to do that for them.
