It’s 6 PM outside of Chicago, which means it’s still a couple hours away from anything happening in Mexico. I wanted to get this thread up just in case any news leaks out early and people want to use the comments.
As usual, I can’t actually see either PPV, so I’ll be trying to bring you as many notes and links from people who are seeing it. I expect to be around all night, and hopefully movabletype keeps up with the comments one last time.
ESTO is reporting Sliver King is the mystery wrestler for AAA. I’m not convinced about this, because it comes in a profile of Bobby Lashley and treated as an aside, not the main story. Maybe they’re just assuming?
Other ESTO articles (though not much news): Jucio Final main/semimian preview (Mistico is expected to work hurt here), Atlantis’ quotes about Wagner’s return (not impressed.)
El Manana, which seems to have someone on the lucha beat daily now (or at least now I can find ’em), write about the set & production for TripleMania. Estimated cost is at least 3 million pesos ($290,000.) They’re sure they’ll have a better show than the WWE show last month.
Economista says 406 police officers will be providing security around Palacio de los Deportes from 8:30 to 12.
I’m going to go fix dinner. I’ll be back in a bit later, but I don’t think news will turn up till 8:30.
Updates:
8:16pm (all CST): Nothing much going on yet. That Econmista article says security is the starting at 8:30, so we’ve got about fifteen minutes before either show gets going.
8:27: Everyone’s saying the mystery person for AAA is Silver King. Would anyone have cared that much if his name was announced originally? Not saying he’s The Animal. Don’t think he was the original choice.
Box Y Lucha PN confirms Silver King based on their sources. Right now, I’ve got Superluchas, elMartiente’s thread, and LMdLL open and probably will pop back in ByL in a bit…
8:32 – TripleMania is on the air, with a look back at previous years.
8:47 – AAA 1) Aerostar, Laredo Kid, Super Fly vs Cuervo, Escoria, Ozz
Angel is replacing Laredo Kid. Espiritu is hanging out with the Sect.
8:49 – we have audio (and very iffy video): http://es.justin.tv/racuher. Sounds like Espiritu is interfering freely.
8:53 – AAA 1) Cuervo, Escoria, Ozz b Aerostar, Angel, Super Fly
Sect surely aren’t done for the night quite yet.
8:57 – AAA 2) Alan Stone, Octagón, Super Porky vs Black Abyss, Mr. Niebla (perhaps), Psicosis
Alan is just entering. Lots of buffering because everyone found the link.
9:01: Histeria is in the match in Niebla’s spot. Octagon and Psicosis are captains, so I guess he’s back in charge. Pepe Casas is ref
9:03: Porky is dressed as the Honky Tonk Man. This PPV = $$$$
9:06: It could very well be affected by the way we’re seeing this, but this crowd seems loud.
9:08: Elsewhere…
CMLL 1) Flash, Máscara Púrpura, Stuka Jr. b Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Skandalo
9:09: AAA 2) Alan Stone, Octagón, Super Porky DEFEATS Black Abyss, Histeria, Psicosis – Octagon with La Escalera on Histeria Psicosis (I think)
9:15: OH NO THEY SENT GRONDA AND CHESSMAN TO FEUDAL JAPAN!!!
(AAA’s animated trailer = more $$$)
9:16: Konnan thinks the Legion is great. Just so you know. Looks like entrances for…
3) Brian Danielson, Jack Evans, Teddy Hart vs Extreme Tiger, Halloween, TJ Xtreme and Crazy Boy, Juventud Guerrera Ultimo Gladiador, Ricky Marvin
Hopefully I can unbrick the comments.
9:21: Hart Foundation II is over. Tirantes is ref, figured he’d back for this.
9:23: By the way, I’m totally killing the server. Every time the comments break, just know that I’m pounding my head against the wall for not being on WordPress already. Comments actually broke because the error messages for MT filled up my entire free space.
9:28: Jack pins Halloween to eliminate FdT
9:32: no one can remember the Spain tour, it seems, so no Juvi here. Ovaciones didn’t mention him working when they ran the article about Super Nova, so I assumed he just wasn’t going back or something. Guess not. Gladiador is in for him. Lots of Bryan vs Ricky, so I think we’ll live.
9:35: announcers calling Danielson “Ultimo Dragon”…lots of near falls. This MAY be okay or better.
9:37: Crazy Boy kills Jack Evans with something like a cradle piledriver for the win. Brotherhood in AFTER the match and beating down the MPs.
9:38: Is Nicho using spray paint? Huh.
CMLL 3) Dr. Wagner Jr., La Sombra, Volador Jr. vs Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Ultimo Guerrero
1 – Guerreros
2 – Wagner
9:41: Does sound like Volador’s in that match, BTW. Over in the Palacio, Hermidad celebrates on the stage before leaving.
9:45: So apparently el Brazo jumped his brother Porky, got in a limo, and challenged him to a match to prove who’s more Guapo? Something like that. Porky’s hair IS getting long.
Over in Arena Mexico, fans have adapted Ciber’s chant to Wagner.

Ticketmaster says no tickets are available for AAAMania, I thought maybe they took them off at a certain time, but they still have Ring 2 tickets for ArMex…
If you’re in Chicago right now waiting for results, someone is going to be quite wrong with their prediction for the mystery man:
http://www.superluchas.net/?p=5008
I can neither confirm nor deny that rumor.
Superluchas says they’ll have the results tonight, I guess they do a match by match for at least CMLL. I think ByLPN will cover AAA.
Lo Mejor De La Lucha will probably have AAA as well.
BTW, one guy said in the ByL board that Silver King got attacked during the AAAMania press conference by Los Capos. Don’t know if IWRG is pulling a publicity stunt (and AAA was that green to allow it) or they’re working together or, more likely, is like that “Black Warrior walks into Toreo” post from last year…
They didn’t say if it was Capos Jrs or Srs, but, in any instance… NOOOOOOOOO!!
ByLPN confirms Silver King as the mystery guy.
CMLL should be on the internet radio thing, I don’t remember where though.
Tried it – http://www.sportsya.com/ – and it’s not loading for me…
El Angel replaced Laredo Kid.
http://es.justin.tv/racuher – You can watch Triplemania here or at least listen…
I think someone posted a newer link at some point, Keith should know it…
TM is supposed to be on esmas in 12 hours so by the time we all wake up. Not sure if it’ll be a Mexico-only deal though.
It’s a guy using a webcam to broadcast T’Mania!! Haven’t they heard of tv capture cards?
I can hear Viper’s music…
I got only audio so I said screw it. Not like the CMLL radio feed which you can follow since the guys are at least sorta good. The AAA guys don’t know any of the moves and are joking around. Like Super Fly went for a dive and they called it the “Super Fly”. Uhhhh… yes.
Histeria in for Mr. Niebla which should pretty much confirm the jump.
Super Presley!
Hysteria is there… it does have image over here and this place has not a good speed, at least not compared with what I had in Torreon.
This guy who’s doing this is great for doing it, but I wish he knew how to point his webcam at the TV STRAIGHT. We’re watching TripleMania on an incline.
I got an image but that’s it. Cubs seems to be on track if he’s getting buffering.
Oh my video started moving.
I guess the guy doesn’t want the webcam in the way of his view point
credit culotron-mozagonzales-misteriorana for that idea…
Octagon with his finisher to win after each tecnico got a dive in.
It was on Histeria.
(Comments died for a while there.)
SuperLuchas started the CMLL coverage. SHOCKING THIRD FALL FINISH TO THE PRIMERA!
No Juvie and Danielson?
I guess they’ll be bumped to the semi which might mean no Lashley.
Juventud no-showed?
CMLL radio feed: mms://63.99.225.140/estadiow
Third match is up.
Ultimo Gladiador having a match on Triplemania and Los Guapos not being booked is beyond criminal.
Juvie is in Spain with the NWE
Stuka Jr. doing commentary!
If the first team already went out within 7 minutes of the triangle match, I am positive AAA is already worrying about going over the time limit. Vamp/Mesias are gonna end up with 30 minutes…
Danielson is there but Rivera earned the perpetual hate of the forums by missing his name… hehehe
Sounds like the Guerreros took the first fall vs Wagner’s team.
Crazzy Boy over Jack. BLASPHEMOUS.
Hard to follow both shows so just gonna turn radio on for CMLL main event since a cage escape match works well on the radio.
The CMLL segunda seems to have vanished into thin air.:)
Pretty weird that Superluchas only got the first match up, were they kicked out of the place or the SKY feed fell out?
Seriously, who’s buying WTA tennis on PPV?
~SPRAY PAINT! I CALLED IT! Konnan is really digging into his bag of tricks.
Oh god, AAA had a skit where El Brazo attacked Super Porky and joined the Guapos. Match quality will suffer but that should be a HILARIOUS feud.
Elvis Puerkey
Brazo joined Guapos, so they were not left out completely.
I’m worried that CMLL security moved O’Campo’s crew to the storage room in the back of the arena and that’s why coverage stopped.:(
Mr. Niebla appeared at Arena Mexico naturally.
Mr Niebla indeed attacked Wagner at ArMex
Oh, and Valiente blew his dive again (don’t know if the same one or another one, was not hurt this time, hopefully)
