03/28 – 30 Lucha Times

FSE-US: Amapola vs Dark Angel for the belt.

CAN52: I think Alex/Panther/Corelone vs Warrior/Ephesto/Olimpico

AAA-US: Super Porky CAGED. Also, well, not too much also. There’s the Clowns vs the Sect, that’ll work.

———

CMLL: 2 hours, so I’d guess the top three. It occurs to me just now that if Axxel is right (he’s debuting next weekend) and Arturo Rivera is right (replay of the PPV next week), Axxel still isn’t making TV. Coincidence?

AAA-MEX: Rey de Reyes. I’m completely guessing on the lineup – Clowns, Ladder, Atomico, Title match – but it’s as good as best any.

FSE-MEX: Tuareg vs tecnicos, Ultimo/Volador. FSE is totally going to win this week.

CadenaTres: Title match and Marco/Terrible.

03/26: Puebla, Mexico, GDL, DTU

CMLL (MON) 03/24 Arena Puebla [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
1) Forjido & Legionario b Aguila Guerrera & Ares
2) Fuerza Chicana, Karisma, Siki Osama Jr. b Coco Rojo, Coco Verde, Cocolores
3) Fantasy, Mascarita Dorada, Shockercito b Pequeño Black Warrior, Pequeño Damian 666, Pierrothito
4) Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero b La Sombra, Sagrado, Volador Jr.
5) Héctor Garza, Marco Corelone, Shocker DQ el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Terrible, Texano Jr.

Main event came down to Garza vs Perro, and Perro got caught fouling Hector this time. Semimain finished with TRIPLE Atlantidas on the Mexican Trios champs. Title rematch? Dorada got Damian again in the minis match. Surprised to see Cocos lose to locals.

CMLL (TUE) 03/25 Arena Mexico [ovaciones, cmll]
1) Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II b Puma King & Semental
2) Fire, Mr. Aguilita, Pierrothito b Atomo, Fantasy, Pequeño Olímpico
3) Villano III, Villano IV, Villano V b Alex Koslov, Felino, Máximo
4) La Sombra, Sagrado, Volador Jr. b Damián 666, Ephesto, Misterioso II [MEX TRIOS]
5) Marco Corelone DQ Terrible

Marco won in straight falls, getting fouled in the second. Main event sounds a bit iffy in Ovaciones. Trios champs got in the triple dive from a corner, won clean and were congralutaed by their opponents after the match. I’m presuming that’s Puma King in the opener, but everyone’s still calling him Puma Kid.

CMLL explained more about it’s plans to honor past stars during this 75th anniversary year. They’ll be bringing guys from the past back to be recognized, and they’ve announced the first group:
Estrella Blanca
– Zaeta Azteca (no info on the wiki?)
Tony Lopez (wrestled as the original La Sombra)
Manuel Robles
Leon Negro (the original, not Psicosis II)

They’ll be honored on the 04/11 Coliseo and 04/13 Mexico shows.

CMLL (THU) 03/27 Arena Neza
1) ?, Electrico, Fantasy vs Fire, Mr. Aguilita, Pequeño Black Warrior
2) Molotov & Trueno vs Pólvora & Vaquero
3) Flash, Leono, Stuka Jr. vs Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Nitro
4) Felino, Shocker, Valiente vs Black Warrior, Olímpico, Sangre Azteca

I’m piecing that lineup from Box Y Lucha’s usual scrambled Neza info and may not be accurae.

4) La Sombra, Sagrado, Volador Jr. vs Atlantis, Misterioso II, Olímpico

Champs are teaming a lot lately. Just not on my TV.

6) Cibernetico vs Zorro

Projected air date (#831)
Mexico: 04/13
US: 05/03

Huh. I have no idea what Zorro getting the singles match now means. Are they just going to kill him off now? Are they accelerating the title chase to get it over with in a few weeks? Is this just typical AAA of running all the angles in the 3 tapings after the major show and doing nothing for six weeks? I don’t have a read on this.

Would Zorro vs Cibernetico for the title alone fill Palacio de los Deportes?

Semimain checks in on the status of Mesias. If he’s going tecnico, he’s losing here and having issues with his partners.

Fourth match is Jack Evans debut and Teddy Hart’s first non-ladder match in AAA. Kenzo’s an odd fit for the match.

Tercera is designed to make the Apaches feud more confusing. There’s no way for Billy to win that.

Toxico hasn’t been around in a while, Picudo’s not been around in a while longer.

Upcoming Tapings
04/10: Toluca
