AAA FULL (FRI) 07/18 Auditorio del Siglo 21 Puebla [the gladiatores]
1) La Parkita, Mascarita Divina, Octagoncito b Jerrito Estrada, Mini Abismo Negro, Mini Histeria
2) Estrellita & Fabi Apache b Demoledora & Mari Apache
3) Gran Apache, Intocable, Psycho Clown b Cibernetico, May Flowers, Polvo de Esterllas
4) El Elegido, Fuerza Guerrera, Mil Mascaras b Killer Clown, Mesias, Teddy Hart
5) Chessman, el Hijo Del Anibal, Octagón b Black Panther, Kenzo Suzuki, Konnan
6) Espíritu, Tinieblas Jr., Tinieblas Sr. b Decnnis, Latin Lover, Pimpinela Escarlata
This was the AAA/indy combined show promoted by Tirantes, with random draws determining all teams. Many of the teams are quite random. Sadly, I don’t think this meeting between Mil Mascaras and Teddy Hart was taped.
Latin Lover and Decnnis had issues, and then Decnnis just turned on his team in the main event.
Mil’s side completely dominated the match and didn’t let their opponents do much.
Cibernetico refused to get along with his teammates. Apache/Cibernetico is another match I need to see, and they were said to be good here.
Gladiatores redesign seems to have changed their RSS feeds, BTW. And AAA’s still don’t work right.
Tonight’s show:
CMLL (FRI) 08/01 Arena Mexico
1) Puma King & Tiger Kid vs Sombra de Plata & Tigre Blanco
2) Dark Angel, Lady Apache, Luna Mágica vs Amapola, La Nazi, Princesa Sujei
3) Alex Koslov, Mictlán, Valiente vs Dragon Rojo, Misterioso II, Sangre Azteca
4) Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr., Marco Corelone vs Terrible, Texano Jr., Villano V
5) Místico, Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas vs Dr. Wagner Jr., el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Héctor Garza [Relevos Increíbles]
As you’d expect, no one’s happy with the main event. Perro Jr. hoping Hector and Wagner are professionals is funny. Hector outright suggests he may turn on his teammates and just hang out with Mistico. Notimex calls it a battle of insanity. The middle matches all have feuds or pseudo feuds going on: Panther/V5, Dragon Rojo vs Mictlan, Lady Apache vs Ampaola. It’d be nice if there was an obvious direction to Annivesary after this how.
CMLL never announced the Marco/Lizmark match for Sunday that seemed set up. Right now, it’s Dos, Hector, Marco vs Atlantis, Lizmark, Ultimo, which means you’ve got a lot of possible replacement CMLL Heavyweight champions in the building if they want to do a change.
Ultimo & Rey talked about their TNA appearances with the press. They don’t know who exactly they’re facing, but they (and everyone else) hopes it’s the Motor City Machine Guns so revenge can be had, but I just read those two are in ROH for Friday and Saturday so who knows. Oddly, Ultimo and Rey say these apperances are not part of the generally TNA/CMLL alliance, but TNA specifically wanting these two on those two shows because they were so awesome in the World X Cup. (I think that’s partly spin.) Elsewhere in the article, Perro Jr. still has no interest in TNA but Hector Garza really would like to work there again.
ESTO has a simple obit for Alfonso Dantes.
Gladiator.com.mx seems to be promoting another sponsored show for August 16th @ Arena Mexico. (It’s an energy drink tie in.) Teased main event is Mistico, Marco & Hector vs UG, Averno & Perro Jr., but Mistico should be in China.
BBC Mundo posted photos of luchadoras. Don’t blame me that they start with a photo of Dulce Poly and follow with a photo of Sexi Star. Also, Amapola has huge arms.
Following yesterday’s article that Giant Gonzalez is very sick, today’s article says he’s in “very good health”. So it’s one or the other.
Ex-WWE wrestlers Rikishi, Chris Masters, Rob Conway, Joey Mercury and Trevor Murdoch are working a show in Nuevo Laredo on August 18th. Article thinks they’re still all in the WWE and it’ll be WWE vs Mexico.
Noticias Voz profiles Oaxaca wrestler who made it national, el Monarca.
Ohtanti’s Jacket writes about Satanico vs. Pirata Morgan’s hair match in ’93

Did those last couple of sponsored shows at Arena Mex a few weeks ago ever end up making tv in any way?
The Tirantes card, some observations:
Was Cibernetico a heel and Fuerza a face for this one night only?
Am I the only one who cannot picture Cibernetico teaming with exoticos? (Hell Satins anyone? LOL!)
Which for the record, why WAS Cibernetico teaming with exoticos?
Will Latin Lover come back to AAA to kick Decniss’ ass?
Did the clowns split up for one night?
Now the EMLL RI main event with Mistico, and Pesta Negra Vs Perrito, Hector and Dr They Hate Me (Wagner). This will be a turnfest waiting to happen.
Why do I have the feeling that Hector and Perrito will walk away from Wagner and leave him to get his ass kicked only for Mistico to actually save Wagner and then they (FINALLY) get along. Or what I think will happen, Niebla, Casas and Perrito turn on their partners and it becomes a rudos/tecnicos tag.
I was just thinking the same thing. Why would a sponsor shell out the money if their logo isn’t making television? One would think tv coverage is part of the deal.
@k.D.b: Everyone was what they normally are. Think of it as randomlly drawn relevos increibles matches.
I wish this show would make it onto television. It has an all star line up including legends, and all the randomness would be an exiting change from the usual.
Tirantes must be well liked if he was able to get Latin to appear on the same card with Intocable. When was the last time that happened?
