Projected Air Date (#910)

US: 11/07

The idea of the main event is the Clowns asked for bigger matches, so they got one they might not be able to handle. I…don’t really care one way or another. There are surely better ways to end the Clowns winning streak, but it’s not like they’re headed to any of them. AAA reminds us that Wagner (and Marco and Laredo) almost beat the Psycho Clowns last time they met, but he pinned Zombie/Monster and not captain Psycho.

In another case of “being listed high on the card doesn’t mean they’re actually doing anything with you”, it’s the Dark Family! Would kinda bet on it being dropped to the tercera by the time it happens. In fact, if Parka wasn’t involved, I’d totally put the women in the semimain spot – if this is as big story as they’ve been treating it via run-ins, why not at least start it out at a high spot on the card?

There’s no hint on the lineup as to Chessman’s partner, but look at the Leon lineup and you’ve got three good strong guesses. At least they’re going to show Chessman getting tied up with his new group.

This is the women trios that actually works, so I guess they just didn’t want to do the same match twice in weekend. And it also makes sense that the women are in when they run 2 TVs in 3 days. Doesn’t actually mean Goddess makes sense, but ok.

Brazo and Hechicera both make their returns to TV after, and I may have this wrong, they won a one off dancing contest on a reality show (and won a cruise too.) From the photo I saw, the other team includes Estrellita – so you’re getting La Hechicera instead. Life is unfair.

Trios defense in IWRG, Mistico returns to NJPW, Ras de Lona

IWRG (SUN) 10/11 Arena Naucalpan [DJ Spectro]
1) Keshin Black b Imperial
2) Eragon & Star Boy b Maldito Jr. & Samoth
3) Fantasma de la Ópera & Gringo Loco b Gemelo Fantastico I & Gemelo Fantastico II
4) Bushi, Negro Navarro, Trauma I b Avisman, Fantasma de la Ópera, Jack
5) Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro b Chico Che, Exodia, Mike Segura [EdM Trios]

Suicida replaced Rigo. Match was said to be pretty good.

(Strong Style Spirit) NJPW’s announced Mistico will defend the IWGP Junior Heavyweight championship versus Tiger Mask V on 11/08 in Sumo Hall. That means he probably misses the 11/06 Arena Mexico show.

Ras de Lona #67 notes:
– Ultimo Dragoncito was in a car accident on Saturday
– Val Venis (still spelled Vines) debuts on 11/06
– Flash does not live up to his gimmick on a go cart! What a failure. I wasn’t as surprised by Tiger Kid losing the rudo race. Even with the mask, he looks like he can be legally old enough to drive.

Record talks to Perro Aguayo Jr., who wants a hair vs mask match with Park after he disrespected Perro Sr. Perro promises more stars coming to his group. Record also has a preview of their monthly magazine, with a feature on LA Park.

Mistico vows to be a tecnico as long as he’s alive.

Angel de Oro was as surprised to be in the 12 man cage match as Dr. X.

A news story on Konnan kidnapping Dorian Roldan. Meanwhile, Konnan tells Vanguardia everyone but Zorro & Chessman are hiding their shortcomings thru gimmicks. Isn’t that sort of the idea? Anyway, today he’s decided Chessman is the future of the business, and he hopes the Legion wins all the belts in 2010.

Ovaciones previews Lady Apache title match tonight with a picture of Fabi Apache. Oops. ESTO goes with Princesa Blanca with the belt. I’m thinking no change today.

AAA says Sugi is hurt again, though it may just be part of the finish at the last taping, and has photos of Sexi Star in Dos de Tres

La Union has Ricky Cruz in what was Guerrero Maya Jr.’s spot for the Pierroth benefit show, later this month.

Fighting Spirit Distribution, the company who brought the CMLL workers to Monaco for their sports television marketing convention, has interesting facts about CMLL on their website. Arena Mexico always sells out it shows, but for CMLL’s biggest events, they run an 80,000 person building. How am I missing writing about 80,000 people shows? Totally dropping the ball.

(Are they even going to draw 80,000 this entire month to Arena Mexico? Thinking no.)

A Meican lucha exhibit is coming to the Mexican consulate in Montreal tomorrow until 11/09.

Cronicas and Leyendas de la Lucha Libre writes about Matematico in Panama and the first manager of the Killer.

Ohtani’s Jacket and Raging Noodles check out Dandy & Ultimo Vampiro vs Negro Navarro & Pantera from 4/4/02 IWRG.

indy (THU) 10/15 Arena Olimpico Laguna de Gomez Palacio [el siglo de torreon]
1) Pequeno Star & Super Star vs Brillante & New Warrior
2) Arana del Futuro & Mr. Guerrero vs Cesar Garza & Dorada Jr.

2009 AAA TV Chart below is updated
Projected Air Date (#911)
Mexico: 11/01
US: 11/14

So. This is kinda interesting. I presume either the episode that aired this weekend in Mexico, or the one from Xalapa which will air this upcoming week, has is going to be doing a lot of explaining. The big news is the latest iteration of the Foreign Legion starts here.

Opener should be a minis match.

The women’s match should probably be either AAA vs Legion or Mexico vs Foreigners (or both), but Goddess randomly makes her debut here with the Apaches. It doesn’t make any sense, unless Goddess is going to turn on them. Which actually work make a lot of sense from a booking stand point; assuming the other women are still in only part time and Goddess is still living in Mexico City (dunno), having a local evil foreigner cuts down on flight costs. The problem is Goddess was really quite poor as she was finishing up with CMLL; I haven’t seen any of Jennifer Blake, but Goddess is the least of the other five women and not the one I’d pick to center this match around. Match should actually be pretty good if they can work together, and who knows on that.

Decnnis & Extreme Tiger have made a team based around unexplained tecnico turns, I think. Why do any of the people in the match who have titles actually have those titles?

Poder del Norte in the tercera is random, but I don’t like their chances. Maybe they’ll go some place with Super Fly’s bit; the TV episode airing in the US this past weekend sure seemed to drop Gato/Pimpi angle.

Semimain looks like six guys thrown together but maybe it’ll mean more.

In a shocking turn of events, Alex Koslov actually never left AAA at all. Hey, it lasted longer than I figured, I’ll give them that. Truly a bizarre way to introduce a new top rudo group by pairing them off against the your other new top rudo group. (Or are WagnerManiacs tecnicos now? Or is AAA trying to move beyond rudos/tecnicos to the place where no one cares about anyone because that never actually works?) Assume Chessman is actually part of the Legion; Konnan’s talking him up in the press, and there’s a tease of him getting a title shot real soon in the newest Record.

Should be word about another taping relatively soon.
