6) Cibernetico vs Zorro [1, AAA HEAVY]

Projected air date (#835)
Mexico: 05/11
US: 05/31

I’m listing this as #1 contenders match, but the wording makes it sound like it’s only for one guy. If Zorro wins, he gets a title shot. If Cibernetico wins, he gets a pat on the back and a firm handshake of congratulations, I guess. TripleMania is looking like Zorro/Mesias in a rudo/rudo battle with the Hell Brothers finally facing the Clowns, but that doesn’t sound TripleMania level.

Black Abyss will be around for all of three weeks before getting into the on one on one match. That appears to be on a fast track to a mask match.

Juvi/Crazy vs Teddy/Jack is probably the best possible match with the Mexican Powers involved. I hope Crazy Boy is 100% when he comes back, because he’s surely looking forward to these matches and hopefully can make the most of them.

Apache family drama seems to be on pause this month. I’m not sure if that’s why they ran the injury angle, or if the cause/effect is the other way around, but I don’t think we’re getting a hair match for TripleMania.

In most promotions, running the triangle match now means they’re not planning on running it later. In this promotion, I have no idea.

Black Abyss is clearly the mystery partner for the 04/16 taping. I’m thinking this is the Vipers taking the Abismo Negro gimmick and giving it to a new person, and it’s a rudo move. I’d think that’d be a tecnico move in AAA.

Jack Evans vs Alebrije = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Actually, if Head Hunter stays out of the way, that could be fun.

I’d lean towards a title change, but it’s not a certainty. Maybe the TV lead up will get a better idea.

Another win for the Clowns.

CMLL (SUN) 04/06 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [CMLL]
1) Palacio Negro b Novato
2) Thunder Boy b Valentin Mayo
3) Fraile de la Muerte & Guero Loco b Metatron & Virgo
4) Depredador (Guadalajara), Mr. Trueno, Rey Trueno b Flash, Máscara Púrpura, Metalik
5) Metal Blanco b Vaquero [hair]
6) Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto b La Sombra, Rayman, Sagrado

Down goes Vaquero! Tavomarz66 says Vaquero joined the Bald Brotherhood with Charles Barkley, but not Britney Spears (since she’ll just dishonor the group.) I’m thinking he’s a big PTI fan.

PYCV (SUN) 04/06 Unidad Deportiva Inalambrica [fusiont @ Satanico’s Mansion]
4) Rey Persa L Rebelde Punk, Super Piloto, Buitre Lee, Vaquero de Oro, Cachorro Jr., Lobo Salavje, Chupacabras, Tormenta Negra Jr., Corsario jr. [cage]

Rey Persa is Jose Maria Hernandez Garcia, 18 years a wrestler, from Tuxtla, Gutierrez, Chiapas.

CMLL (MON) 04/21 Cancha German Evers [Dragon_Extremo @ Satanico’s Mansion]
1) Kempo Dragon, Serpiente Marina, Tyogn vs Satgento Negro, Spartan, Terremoto King
2) Apocalipsis (NWG) vs Crazystin [ladder]
3) Mr. Trueno & Rey Trueno vs Metal Balnco & Mr. Trueno [PACIFIC COAST TAG]
4) Sangre Azteca vs Sagrado [MEX WELTER]
5) La Sombra & Místico vs Averno & Mephisto

The Truenos are the current champs. So is Sangre, but I figured you knew that one.

Rey Misterio Jr. is nominated for Faovrite Extreme Athlete in the American Latino TV awards (on the LatiNation network.) Voting is online, so I like Rey’s chances in this one, though the competition is more credible than Abismo Negro. What’s great is the press release doesn’t actually mention when the winners will be announced. You’d think that’d be important. (thanks to mikeinformer)

Vangelis told Reforma he’s in CMLL to win his title back. I think the right think for Mistico to do would be to give him the title so he goes away. Mistico has four other ones he doesn’t use and it’d be for the greater good.

Noticias-Oaxaca profiles local female wrestler Olimpia.

There’s a rumor Lady Apache is still out of action because she’s pregnant.

There’s a poster listing all 200 people scheduled to appear, including those without announced matches, on the lucha libre expo’s website (scroll down a little.)

According to MedioTiempo AAA announced some non-match events for the Expo at the press conference to officially joint the show. Super Calo, Gran Apache and El Mexicano (?) will have a wrestling clinic for kids, Super Porky, Abismo Negro, Elegido, Psicosis and Cuervo will particpate in a “Rudos y Tecnicos” panel discussion.

I don’t anything about going to Mexico, but I would think that May 2nd week is the time to go. You can hit the Expo and Toryumon’s usually running a show about that time (which means guys in for the International Gran Prix.)
