If you’re reading this, things went about how I thought they would and I didn’t have time to write a post today. I may be around much later, I may put up a post Sunday morning, or I may just sleep. Depends how much sugar I get in later.
Stuff to discuss:
- with the cage match two weeks away, what did CMLL build up for Mistico instead?
- 07/17 AAA TV results, when they turn up
- and who’s winning the title shot on Sunday?

Cibernetico! He is like the Triple H of AAA! “Main Man” LMAO!
i think ciber will win,but i think it will be a 3 way with wagner,ciber and mesias
Let it be someone else and have Ciber/Mesias at Verano for who challenges after that, have Silver/Parka too to get that feud blown off. I voted Silver King but realized I’d rather see him face La Parka, so maybe a “credible” challenger like Chessman, Charly Manson or Electroshock (who is OUR Rey de Reyes after all). But maybe I’m thinking AAA may do something logical with a long term build??
@MPJ-Dk The Rey de Reyes is Electroshock!
Well w/o Cubs around here’s some quick info:
– 4 way hair match at Verano De Escandalo: Teddy/Jack/Chessman/Charly.
– Koslov turned on D-Mex last night.
– Tirantes was suspended.
– ??? in the opener was Atomic Boy.
– Fantasma’s kid vs Averno for the Middleweight Title on Tuesday.
– Shocker vs Texano for the NWA LHW Title on Friday.
– Mascara Dorada vs Dragon Rojo Jr. is the Lightning Match next week.
– Infierno main event rumored to have 14 guys according to something handed out last night at Arena Mexico. (11 already confirmed = 3 more in the waiting? Mendoza Jr., Okumura and Heavy Metal?)
Doesn’t appear CMLL is building up anything with Mistico although that could change since next Friday he’s in a trios match opposite three of his main rivals: Ultimo, Negro and Atlantis. Perhaps Mistico vs Negro for the title again?
I took Parka to win the title shot tomorrow.
Today’s CMLL should have top 3 only but Mascarita Dorada/Pequeno Warrior supposedly rocked the house last night and Dorada got a ton of cash thrown at him afterwards.
Eventhough I want Zorro to win this (If I learned anything after watching AAA within the last year is that Zorro never wins anything),however I think Parka is winning this.
@Calabcd44 That is very true! I think Zorro is one of the best right now! But whatever happen to his push when he won Rey de Reyes last year!
Figures the day I can not sit around for aaa results, they’re posted promptly. Totally typing this during a break in a meeting, shhhhhhhhhh.
hey rob, u forgot to mention that Cibernetico walked out on parka & corleone during their match
Was last night’s CMLL main event finish similar to last weeks? Sounds similar. Crowd looks good in the photo on superluchas.
@Anglefan3 are u grumpy cuz u cant go to the Lucha show in Juarez, due to no passport!
@LLL: Crowd was said to be pretty bad but Cesar and SL both have different photos showing a nice-sized crowd.
Hi5 says the crowd was down from the previous week, but would be considered bad since now we are in vacation time, with many tourist visiting Mexico City, during the past 4 or 5 years, the summer had packed shows, with near sell-outs without even needing stip matches and kids paying full prices or at least not entering for free like these days.
Cablevision guide has CMLL starting at 4:00 instead of the normal 3:00, but supposedly getting two hours.
@Alan: Yeah, just got an e-mail from the Doctor of Lucha saying it airs an hour later. Works for me if it means 2 hours = an extra match.
There is some dives competition…
I’m getting out of here…
@Alan: Maybe the minis Lightning Match makes TV .(crosses fingers)
@xuisaw: DIVES COMPETITION?!?!?!?!?!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh wait… not OUR kind of dives. That sucks.
You know Rey Cometa can do anything these underaged girls are doing and he doesn’t even have to use a platform or land in water.
@Rob: If it was a real dive competition, someone would do the Valiente Especial .
Isn’t it amazing how the announcers know the difference between the random young Japanese girls who keep doing dives but six CMLL announcers from three different TV shows can’t figure out YUJIRO and NAITO.
I’m taking advantage of the hour delay to watch the fox sports show I taped earlier today. Sadly instead of the lineup Cubs predicted in the lucha times, I’m stuck with an opening women’s match and Shocker/Toscano/Garza vs Ultimo/Niebla/Casas.
I wish I hadn’t left xej’s site. Now I can’t get back on the stream b/c of “maximum viewers”.
@LLL: Just keep trying and it’ll work.
@Alan: I was worried about that. If CMLL isn’t airing the 7/31 show on free TV till a month or two later like they usually do – now would be the usual time they start saving matches to show in the future. So the typical Arena Mex segunda that airs may be in the vault to air in two weeks time. Could be the same case with Dorada/Pequeno Warrior from last night.
Thanks. It’s working! Yay. Mexico wins!!!!!
@Rob: If that is the plan, the 8/1 CMLL TV show could be great.
@Alan: Yep! They could put together some excellent matches if they wanted. Maybe the Mistico match from next week will be the main event since it features no rivalries heading into the 7/31 show so they have no reason to air it.
Top 3 supposedly airing.
@Rob: As you predicted.
I hate how they open the show annoucing the matches(editing with the girls) then give the matches again. Then they give the lineups for local arena and announce the match we’ll see after the break. Waste of time.
Wow. Thirty minutes into the show, and all we’ve seen is the first fall of an 11:29 match.
Timing is always a problem with this show. They should save the 10 minute commercials for between matches, not between falls that only last 1 or 2 minutes.
Opener was okay but no amazing Dorada spots.:(
Second match won’t start till an hour in…
Momentos aired already which is strange.
Are they showing the main event from last night? I can’t remember if it was hyped or not.
This is part of the reason why CMLL has such bad ratings compared to AAA and CMLL.
meant WWE.
@Rob: Wasn’t an amazing spot, but I did like Dorada’s running down the ramp, over the top rope rana.
Also, I’m pretty sure Naito was asleep when they panned by him on the press conference coverage.
@Alan: hehehe Yeah I thought they showed Naito sleeping but the quality of the feed isn’t too hot so I didn’t want to say anything. Screencap time!
Black Warrior’s hair is sure growing longer than usual…
Marco Corleone was on both CMLL and AAA TV today! Its like he never left CMLL.
C3 starting a few minutes late and with a title match in the main event presumably getting extra time I don’t think the minis are making the cut this week…
I was wrong.
YAY !!! MINIS !!!
Bracito channeling Billy Boy with the Steelers jersey
Electrico and Pequeno Nitro actually did some fun stuff together. Not bad for a debut.
Whoa – Stuka pins Atlantis and gets a huge pop!
Volador/Sombra are an amazing team…
Not a bad show on Cadena Tres this week. Did last weeks show ever show up online?
@Alan: I don’t think so
Not bad episode of C3, pretty solid.
ACM so far has had 3 Mascara Purpura matches on tonight. Next Tuesday’s main event looks awesome with Albreije and Enrique Vera vs Monster and Salsero.
THEY MENTIONED ALFREDO AND ROB AND CUBSFAN!!!! :D
on ACM
