AAA posted tons of photos of their recent tapings.
CMLL (SUN) 05/04 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Quazar b Milenio
2) Fraile de la Muerte b Carlo Roggi
3) Idolo & Oro II b Depredador (Guadalajara) & Exterminador
4) Mini Damian 666 & Pierrothito b Atomo & Último Dragoncito
5) Jeque, Malefico, Toxico b Casanova, Metal Blanco, Metalik
6) Villano III, Villano IV, Villano V b Dos Caras Jr., Negro Casas, Rayman
Top two matches were both won with sneak fouls. Jeque got the better of Metalik again.
CMLL (MON) 05/05 Arena Puebla [hugo999]
1) Asturiano, Forajido, King Jaguar b Aguila Guerrera, Espiritu Maligno, Mr. Rafaga
2) Cerebro Negro, Flecha, Tigre Rojo b Fuerza Chicana, Furia Chicana, Policeman
3) Amapola b Marcela [CMLL WOMEN]
4) Olímpico, Sangre Azteca, Toscano b La Máscara, Sagrado, Valiente
5) La Sombra, Místico, Shocker DQ Damian 666, Ephesto, Mephisto
Damian replaced Averno, who was announced as injured. Averno was healthy enough to run in during the third fall and yank Mistico’s mask for the DQ.
Amapola is still your queen. She won clean, and they shook hands after the match.
80% filled arena, the second straight non-sell out for Mistico here. Axxel and a hair match (involving the segunda wrestlers, I think) are scheduled for next week.

1) Jorobados I & Jorobados II b Guerrero Blanco & Virtual X

5) Alex Koslov, Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr. DQ Black Warrior, Sangre Azteca, Último Guerrero
Pequeno Damian 666 is still your king. And perhaps also your father.
Warrior got his team DQed in the main event for excessive violence on Alex. Might have been something similar with Diamante Negro and Fabian el Gitano in the segunda – I can’t make out the specifics of that one. Averno’s teaming beating the assembled Casas brothers feels like a bit of an upset, but nearly the same rudo team (Warrior in for Misterioso) beat them in Arnea Coliseo almost exactly one year ago.
Ultimo Guerrero told Reforma (via Jazzo, who remains great) that he’d love for the 75th Anniversary main event to be Blue Panther vs Ultimo Guerrero vs Atlantis vs Villano 5 in a four way mask match. UG explains he came up with the idea while eating breakfast, and I dearly hope that’s the next kcids cartoon.
I’m not sure Panther would think it’s such a great idea to defend his mask against three rudos, but I don’t think he has to worry about exactly that match happening either. Maybe that’s half the June cage lineup, though.
El Hijo del Santo says he’s completely cleared to travel to the US again – he already has his work visa, but I guess he’s got himself off the watch list – and he’s in the process of tracking down who tried to drop the dime on him.
Ovaciones has gone back to the ‘new’ version of it’s site. Unfortunately, they don’t have the lucha libre articles up, and the digital version of the paper links to yesterday’s version. However, all you have to do is change the date in the URL and flip to page 18 to find the usual article. (I’m afraid to change the date to tomorrow to find myself in an Early Edition situation.)
Anyway, it’s a shame you have to hunt to find the article, because it’s quite critical of CMLL letting titles go adrift. As noted here, Hector Garza splitting from the Perros has put both the CMLL Trios and WWA Tag teams belts on the shelf. Ovaciones notes the Trios belt hasn’t been defended in 14 months, while the regulations say it’s supposed to be defended every 3. Ovaciones hopes for a tournament for new champs. I hope they just give it to Sagrado, Volador and Sombra, but maybe we both can be happy. Ovaciones’ article also points out the inactivity of the CMLL Super Light, CMLL Heavy (no defense since August), CMLL Welter (no defenses since December), and CMLL Middleweight (last February.)
The date they use for last defense of the Super Light title, which probably should just be in the defunct pile, is the NJPW-LA defense we’ve got on the wiki and I don’t think it’s mentioned anywhere else. Hi!
None of this is especially new news, but there’s always more change of someone reacting to it if it’s said in a paper than a blog.
AAA’s recap of their expo show makes it sound like the whole show will be a TV taping, airing in three weeks. I’ll spend some time figuring out the air schedule of everything later.
The Arizona Republic writes about lucha libre in Tempe. Lucha Libre starting in the 1950s probably comes to a surprise to CMLL.

OH MY GOD @ that 5/13 Guadalajara main. If there are no clips of that posted online, I will cry.
Looks like the Puebla hair match is Cerebro Negro (who looks like Violencia with those sideburns) vs Policeman (same guy from AAA).
