CMLL ACG (SUN) 08/16 Plaza Arboledas [Fuego en El Ring]
1) Nocturno & Principe Leo b Caballero & Katana
2) Super Estrella b Magnifica
3) Flyer & Palacio Negro b Dragon & In Memoria
Arena Coliseo Guadalajara luchadors, wrestling at a mall, in between rounds of a beauty contest.
AAA (SUN) 08/16 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [RFC]
1) Invasor b Viernes 13
2) Aguila Extrema & Virtual X b Euforia & La Nazi
3) Mr. Secuestro L Ejecutor, Epidemius, TDN [hair]
4) Killer Clown, Psycho Clown, Zombie Clown b Cuervo, Escoria, Ozz
5) Zorro b Cibernético and El Mesías
That looks like Zorro beat Ciberentico & El Mesias, but that doesn’t SOUND right.
Ovaciones hypes tonight’s CMLL card, saying the Texano/Terrible/Ephesto vs Shocker/Garza/Toscano match may set up Shocker/Terrible in a hair match, or Ephesto/Toscano in a title match. Other matches have Pierrothito and Dorada back after splitting their matches in CHIKARA over the weekend, and Fantasma/Mascara/Dorada continuing as a team. If CMLL had actual tecinco groups that stuck together longer than two weeks, this would be a nice lead into Dorada being brought in the group with Garza, as a lead-in to all the young tecnicos starting choosing sides and a big 8 on 8 Reyes del Aires where the sides matter. This is much more like a match to have a match (unless Virus being in it means something.)
Over in GDL, tonight’s the big Micltan vs Misterioso match (/likely horrible injustice.)
Dr. Wagner hypes up Friday’s title match. It doesn’t feel like Verano de Escandalo is Friday. Wagner may want to call up Zorro and figure out what he did in Monterrey if he’s going to pull this out. Anyway, looking to find time to write a preview for VdE sometime this week.
In an interview with magazine Emeequis (link is to a PDF) the original Mascarita Sagrada talks about the start of his career, other people taking his name and experiences being a short in Mexico.
Cesar compares CMLL’s attendance on the weekend (he has 6000 on Friday, 8500 on Sunday) to AAA’s attendance (under 2,200), while kinda totally ignoring ticket price. You don’t ‘win’ with people in the seats, you win with the money in the ticket office (and the money in the merchandise stand.)
Kcidis pictures new champ Valiente.
LuchaWorld has Robert on 07/05/08 C3, 07/12/08 C3 (remember when we liked Hijo del Faraon?), and AAA 07/05/08, as well as KrisZ’s news update.

Tercera Caida is advertising the minis cage match for Puebla TV on Sunday.
Very good. I have no use for last night’s Puebla taping ever seeing the light of day.
Any early Cablevision previous for CMLL’s time slot this week? I wonder if they get another 3 hours if that means AAA is bye bye yet again.
@Rob: TV Guide has CMLL going 3-5, Cablevision guide says 4-5. TV Guide has AAA going from 3-6, Cablevision guide says 4-6. When did the 3 hour CMLL show news come up last week?
Sexi Star, Billy Boy, Fabi, and Aero Star were all guests on Tercera Caida. Sexi had a brace on her wrist and showed off bruises on her back from the match with Fabi in Puebla last night.
I wonder if CMLL is airing a 3 hour show this week again, will we see the Tercera from last Friday?
So did more people leave AAA or does their own webmaster not remember the names of the most dominant wrestlers in AAA over the last year and a half:
(announced as the opener for VdE)
PSYCHO CLOWN, MURDER CLOWN Y MONSTER CLOWN VS.
KENZO SUZUKI, ORIENTAL Y SUGI SAN.
CMLL’s official youtube page has clips from the Sangre Azteca vs. Valiente match. Thank Rob for finding that page.
