Fantasma de la Queberada was supposed to lose his mask last year, no-showed over a pay dispute, and vowed to retire. So at least he got around to losing this mask. As you might suspect, he left the cage only to return while Black Fish and Hijo del Solitario fought. Fish snuck out, and Hijo del Solitario beat Fantasma de la Quebrada for his mask win. His real name was announced as Edmundo Ibaes Salas from Acapulco. He also introduced his son, Fantasma de la Quebrada Jr., who vowed revenge.

6) Dos Caras Jr., La Sombra, Sagrado b Atlantis, Euforia, Sangre Azteca

Vaquero and Depredador fouled one tecnico and yanked the mask of the other to score the DQ. Looks to be a feud here, which would partially explain the mystery of Vaquero’s appearance here.

I forgot to say this earlier, but I’m guessing – sight unseen – new wrestler Aeroman is old wrestler Bogeman without a sponsor.

ESTO writes an article about Abismo Negro as Televisa wrestler of the year 2007 and does not actually state a reason for Abismo winning the award. To be fair, the only reason I’ve been able to discern is Abismo was secretly the inspiration for Amy Winehouse’s hit single.

It also happens to be nearly the exact article posted on AAA’s site. Yay for press release copy masquerading as journalism.

Arturo Rivera raves about the CMLL PPV and says it’ll air on TV in two weeks.

More tomorrow. We’ll see if I can get over AAA doing Zorro vs Cibernetico mano y mano on the first TV taping after Rey de Reyes enough tomorrow to post that lineup.

AAA #791

taped 07/01/07, aired 07/28/08

or random unfinished recaps on my computer/TiVo, timed to show up on a morning where I won’t be around. Now I’ve got to grab a Canibal picture off of this. Anyway, this is pretty brief adn sparse, and how could you care because it’s a taping from nine months ago.

This is the show where Mesias and Abismo faked like they were turning on the Legion for 2 hours/3 minutes respectfully – hey, Mesias and Abismo feuding with the Legion seems a tiny bit familiar. Here, it was all just to get be able to attack Cibernetico from behind. I thought this was pretty pointless at the time and still think so, but it’s something not as overdone as in the US so I’m not as willing to fight to the death about it.

I remember really really disliking the Juvi/Fuerza match and didn’t give it another chance to win me over this time. Oh well. Apache Army 2k7 vs the Air Force remained pretty fun.

I have the following week’s TV to fill in the gap and I think I will at some point, but it’ll probably be really short like this.

BTW, I’ve changed how the indexes are done. If something doesn’t work for you, give me a heads up.
