Results, lineups, and TV discussion here. How does AAA’s Rey de Reyes look on Galavision? Feel free to let me know what aired on CMLL, since I won’t be near watching it.
Edit: quick results from last night
CMLL (FRI) 04/18 Arena Mexico
1) Starman & Trueno DQ Calígula & Méssala
2) Diamante Negro, Euforia, Nosferatu b Fabián el Gitano, Máximo, Stuka Jr.
3) Atlantis, Black Warrior, Toscano b Alex Koslov, Heavy Metal, Negro Casas
4) Blue Panther, Marco Corelone, Shocker b el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Terrible, Villano V
5) Héctor Garza & Místico DDQ Averno & Mephisto [CMLL TAG]
Titles are held up due to multiple low blows and attacks on refs – the commission stopped the match and are holding up the titles. A decision on what’s next is to come on Tuesday.
I think I’m going to figure out a solution on Sunday, but right now I can’t record any of the weekend shows. Comcast is just brillant.

Man, do CMLL bookers deliberately try to outdo themselves every week with the shittyness of their lineups? is it some kind of bet they’ve got going to see just how far they can push it?
Next weeks cards are absolutely dreadful, even worse than this weeks – and the problems are all on the tecnico side. Surely they know these combinations will provide as little in the way of entertainment as you can possibly get from a roster like CMLL’s. There must be something more to it, even above the blataqntly obvious nepotism and cronyism.
Even Tuesdays are on a real downhill slide just now. There’s no way these shows are being booked by the same guy who was doing it around December-January time. Wasn’t it meant to have been Pierroth originally?
And a Mini fucking Maximo, that’s all we need! :(
I suppose on the positive side, the main event scene seems reasonably healthy just now, but as for the majority of the card – i only wish we could just miss out next week and fast forward to the 04/30 show.
XEJ show started looks like the top 3 will air.
I knew I saw Hijo del Fantasma somewhere. Wasn’t he in AAA for like a week or so? He’s not bad.
Apparently it was him, yeah.
Looks a bit different from what i remember him as in the Ultimo Dragon shows though. Maybe a bit goofy and awkward at times, but he looks fun. His diving tornado DDT is pretty neat. Hopefully he doesn’t overdo it like Corleone
That was actually a pretty decent match. Volador is looking real sharp again these days. He was working pretty well with Texano in the brief spells they got, even managed to hit some weird and cool new armdrag variant i can’t remember seeing before.
The Tigre Blanco match was OK too. Blanco looks great, there’s no way this is a guy about to retire.:D
He’ll overdo it. It’s CMLL, you have to overdo it.
I thought Black Warrior left again when Wagner left? When did he come back?
Is it just me or does Hijo Del Texano really look like Cibernetico? Even more so with the shirt. Cadenatres was pretty good today. Even the women’s match wasn’t offensive.
How was the commentary sound? I watched on wwitv.com instead of ch.44 and it was not good.
Cadena Tres is pretty good. Those short commercial breaks are a big difference compared to what we’re used to on other Lucha programs.
They need to give Rey and Mistico an hour just because I want too see it. Rey Bucanero is the most wasted talented wrestler in the world.
