Latin isn’t done here after all. Too bad, for him, but good news for commenter.

Hmm, two four man teams facing off. If only there was some sort of championship of four man teams, which one of these teams could defend against the other. Such a thing would be great, but sadly impossible in 2008.

Unscrambling the mystery men!
– Minis: “we have no idea which mini rudos we still have on”
– Piratas: “we forgot we got rid of al the other Pirates”
– Tiger’s partner is clearly whomever teams with him on Wednesday. Someone clearly decided Xtreme Tiger was a talent that was wasting away off of TV and had to be jumpstarted. Wish they felt that way about other guys.

Wherever the Billy Boy/Fabi Apache/Gran Apache angle was supposed to be doing, it’s not going to be followed up for some time. All the feuds from the cage match are completely MIA too, as is anything Guapito/Guapos related. And DGM – my worry after Alex’s jump was AAA was going to forget them, and I think I still have that worry. They sure can find plenty of room for La Hermandad.

AAA didn’t start taping again until 01/19 this year, so we might still have those Best Of episodes. I’m just think they won’t happen because AAA’s so caught up in the week to week rating now (which, as I understand their business plan, sure does not seem to be how they actually make their money, but whatever) and will be afraid to lose ground with a repeat show. If they do air a best of, either someone will watch the feed and notice or I’ll be able to tell based on the Accion highlight, and I’ll update from there. If they don’t, the next taping is somewhere between 01/03 and 01/06.

Edit: In the comments, amapola points out NOAH’s KENTA has been announced to work this taping by his promotion. Mostly likely, he’s Tiger’s partner.

Projected Air Date (#868) – now assuming no best of episodes
Mexico: 12/28

I wish I transcribed all the interviews Konnan did (no I don’t) because I sure remember him talking about cutting down on all the pointless mystery people and this is sure one of the more pointless. It probably should be Padrino – not that I’m eager to see him, that’s just who it should be – but it more should just no be a mystery. The big story here should be Abismo Negro’s big return to AAA, and they’re mitigating for no particular reason. Abismo does appear to be back as tecnico defender of all AAA, more credible than Mesias doing the same.

I think I’m supposed to be rooting for Zorro in the semifinal, which has me all confused. I’ll have to consult my local horse to explain it.

Super Fly has his first chance for sustained offense in months! He’s still losing, don’t you worry.

NOT ANOTHER LADDER MATCH! I OBJECT! I PROTEST! I die a little bit inside. Super Crazy is due in here soon and would make as much sense as anyone in the ? spot, but he’s booked for another show on this night. It would be funny if it was Halloween, for at least five seconds.

I’m pretty sure they already forgot Oriental is a rudo. These things happen.

I can not think of a reason why the women’s match is a lumberjack match. Perhaps someone can explain it to me.
