FSE-US: Someone realized they aired a repeat a couple weeks back and decided to make with the catching up. There are TWO new episodes this Sunday:

“Mistico vs Atlantis”: starts at 7:30pm EST, and listed as 90 minutes. HMMM. Opener should be Flash/Purpura/Mictlan vs Ohara/Okumura/X

“Grey Shadow vs Sangre Azteca” – midnight eastern, and containing a singles match between those two. Opener is Fantasma/Sagrado/Valiente vs Loco/Satanico/Vangelis – so close.

Of course, this is balanced out by no lucha scheduled for next week.

AAA: Main event is Konnan/Zorro vs Cibernetico/Parka. If you really care about someone, you will not allow them to watch that match. But be sure tune in early for Jack & Teddy vs Charly & Chessman.

CAN52: Minis are airing here, I’m pretty sure. I’m less sure if it’s the minis from Arena Mexico (no second match slot because of the short show, so it’d be a rare opener to air) or the minis from Coliseo (which would mean a couple of debuts.) If the new pattern is semimains here, it’s more V5/Panther feuding.

AAA-MEX: Hellbrothers vs Sect, Zorro vs Mesias.

CMLL: focus should be on Toscano/Metal for next week, though Mistico and Garza might run into some Perro interference. It occurs to me now there’s no hint of next week being a PPV, which is probably a good idea. I think the June would make sense.

FS-Mexico: Maybe a Women’s match and Mistico vs the Guerreros

ALSO: the Record’s show, being taped tonight, appears to be turning up on FS-Mexico (/Cono Norte). It’s listed as airing on Friday, at 7:30, and running for 90 minutes. No idea if this means it’ll turn up in the US in a few weeks time.

CadenaTres: Guerreros vs Tecnicos.

05/14: Monterrey, DF



CMLL

CMLL LLA (SUN) 05/11 Arena Santa Lucia [josedjesus @ superluchas]
1) Codigo Rojo & Mortifero b Fomer Lover & Navegante
2) Angel Dorado Jr., Principe de Oro, Regio Boy b Principe Guerrero I, Principe Guerrero II, Rey Demonio Jr.
3) Bengaly, Difutno I, Difutno II b Diablo I, Diablo II, Diabolico
4) Gato Volador, Orientale I, Orientale II b Golden Boy, Monje Negro Jr., Sergio Romo Jr.
5) Averno & Tigre Universitario DQ Misterioso II & Rey Hechicero

Misterioso pointed out that Averno is a rudo and really shouldn’t teaming with a tecnico in this match. In the end, Averno agreed and turned on Universitario in the third fall. This is to set up another match Tigre’s for the WWA Middleweight Title.

CMLL (TUE) 05/13 Arena Mexico [cmll]
1) Puma King & Semental b Fireman & Súper Camaleón
2) Fantasy, Mascarita Dorada, Pequeno Maximo DQ Pequeño Damian 666, Pequeño Halloween, Pequeño Warrior
3) Axel, Fabián el Gitano, Felino b Diamante Negro, Misterioso II, Virus
4) Terrible, Villano IV, Villano V b Sagrado, Shocker, Volador Jr.
5) Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone DQ Lizmark Jr., Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero

Ultimo took Blue Panther’s mask for the DQ. In the semimain, Sagrado came up hurt after a dive and the rudos took advantage of the numbers. Tecnico minis won in straight falls, rudos DQed in the 1st for excessive violence, and Mini Damian cradled in the second.

After the show, Lizmark Jr. told Notimex that he’d really like a(nother) shot at Dos Jr.’s belt. They say this is Lizmark’s return after four months out, but he was just on an Arena Mexico card three weeks ago. Time flies.

Sunday’s results STILL have not turned up. I wonder if Alexis had finals.

(KrisZ) CMLL will be throwing a 25th Anniversary celebration for Atlantis on 07/11 (a Friday.) Besides the matches, Atlantis will show off the many masks he’s won, there’ll be pictures of his career, and a mass in his honor.

Ovaciones has a profile of Saeta Azteca. It notes he was a fast moving wrestler, but never really pushed big by either EMLL or LLI. Which makes you wonder what mertis he had to be a Star of The 75th Anniversary and the article doesn’t really explain that.

El Sol de Cuautla writes about Cinthia Moreno and Oriental’s return to AAA on this next TV taping.

Box Y Lucha #2870 focuses on Toscano & Heavy Metal in a hair match.

indy (FRI) 05/16 Coliseo Fraternidad [Notiver]
1) Century 2000, Kato, Nimbus vs Blue Angel, Kronos (Veracruz), Trueno Infernal
2) Angel del Misterio, Matematico Jr., Rey Egipto, Sangre y Fuego vs ?, Acero, Relampgo Cadenas Jr., Tormento Chino
3) ?, Celestial (Veracruz), Rey Mistico vs Black Baby, Matrix, Triple X

I’m not sure what’s exactly going on here. There’s a picture of Mistico, but they keep saying “Rey Mistico”. There’s no one else CMLL-ish working the show (that’s a local Celestial and a local Kronos), so I’m thinking misleading advertising.

AAA (SUN) 05/18 Arena Solidaridad [wagnersoriano @ SML]
1) Aguila Xtrema & Guerrero Blanco vs Jorobado I & Jorobado II
2) Chico Calavera & La Momia vs Diabolik & Thunder Brother
3) Chiva, Sexy Star, TDN vs Antifaz del Norte, Fabi Apache, May Flowers
4) Crazy Boy, Joe Lider, Ultimo Gladiador vs Black Abyss, Decnnis, Zumbido
5) Cibernetico vs Zorro, Cuervo

CMLL (SUN) 05/18 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]
1) Angel del Silencio & Rey Pantera vs Guardian & Super Gala
2) Dralion, Furor, Orquidea Negra vs Black Diamond, Dranser, Scravos
3) Hijo del Trueno & Mongol Chino vs Caifan Rockero I & Potro Jr.
4) Solar I & Super Astro vs Negro Navarro & Shu el Guerrero
5) Heavy Metal & LA Park vs Averno & Toscano

I think I’d rather see the ACM show – because I haven’t seen the Solar/Negro match, but AAA put together a bigger card for the first week of this switch. If it matters at all.

IMDET (FRI) 05/23 Auditorio de Tijuana
1) Pandillero I, Pandillero II, Zandokan vs Camaleon, Diamantina, Rubi Gardenia
2) el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Mr. Águila, Villano V vs Angel Blanco Jr., Hijo del Enfermero, LA Park
