2010 AAA TV Recap
Projected Air Date (#941) – new schedule after last week’s all recap show
Mexico: 06/13
US: 06/26

Taping was last night, but AAA didn’t get results up until tonight and didn’t want to just stick with the Dos de Tres details in case they explained the finish for the tercera. Nope, no finish. This is the fourth straight taping with a no contest or a draw finish.

Mari pinned Rain clean after a Mari Apache brainbuster and a senton con giro.

The new trio of Stones & Elegido got off to a bad start. Elegido accidentally hit Chris, Alan got angry at Elegido, and Scoria DDTed Alan for the win. No metal fingernails involved.

Konnan interfered in the tercera, and Nicho bled a bunch.  Not sure why it was a no contest, just that it was.

Semimain ended in a DQ when Silver King pulled his brother’s mask. Silver King is now claiming that their father always knew Silver King would be a great wrestler, but didn’t think Dr. Wagner Junior had what it takes to be great. I don’t that this works with these two guys.

Dos de Tres notes fans where throwing bottles at the rudos in the main event, and Park threw those bottles back at them. They also did a spot where Marisela Pena slapped Park for rudo actions in front of her. Hernandez pinned Metal clean with the Border Toss. The Legion swarmed the ring after the match, and Parka & Wagner made the save.

They seem to have set up Wagner/Silver and Wagner/Legion for post TripleMania. Of course, he doesn’t need the belt for those. There were reports that Electroshock didn’t have the belt with him for this show which will air after TripleMania, but then again, they could just be covering their bases.

IWRG (SUN) 05/30 Arena Naucalpan [The Gladiatores]
1) Dinamic Black b Alan Extreme
2) Comando Negro & Eterno b Daga & Hijo del Pantera
3) Cerebro Negro, Dr. Cerebro, Trauma II DQ Avisman, El Hijo del Diablo, Gringo Loco [lumberjack strap]
4) Bombero Infernal, Maldito Jr., Samot b Oficial 911, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro
5) Fuerza Guerrera, Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Veneno DQ El Elegido, Gato Eveready, Pimpinela Escarlata

Match came down to concepts Mascara & Elegido. With the refs distracted, Elegido pulled Mascara’s mask and covered for him. Referee counted the three count, and Elegido popped up to celebrate – revealing Mascara’s unmasked face underneath him. (Usually, they drop the mask on loser to cover him up.) Referee noticed the unmasked Mascara and called the DQ. Elegido can’t even cheat right!

Team Fireman beat the Oficials in straight falls, though the first fall was won via a lot of mask ripping (so much so that Ak47 left the match to get a new mask), and the second was won with feet on the ropes. This is setting up a title match.

Third match randomly a one fall lumberjack strap match, with Trauma II replacing La Roca (maybe still CMLL bound?) Hijo del Diablo faked a low blow, got cuaght.

R de Rudo caught Mistico on one his uber-honest days, and those interviews are already fun. Bullet points!

  • Mistico says the people like the idea of teaming with Averno and thought it was going to do great business, Averno liked the idea, and Mistico liked how it proved Volador couldn’t take his spot. (It seems pretty clear that whoever rejected the idea of Mistico as a rudo, it wasn’t Mistico.)
  • Mistico’s lesson from the feud with Volador: he’s better than Volador as a tecnico and as a rudo
  • Mistico is confused why he’s not facing Independent guys on Sin Salida. He would like to face them; many of them come with masks and Mistico would love to face on of them for the masks in a main event. (He’s thinking more along the lines of vs Averno or vs Volador for the Anniversary.)
  • Mistico very much does not like the idea of the Dinamitas – he calls them burnt cartridges – and Rayo de Jalisco had his moment but it’s time for the young people. Mistico will fight them to keep his spot in the main event.

Mistico is the best.

Atlantis talked to ESTO about his title match versus Volador tonight, saying this is his first chance at a singles title in two years. Not quite true, he lost his title to Texano just last year. Atlantis also says he’s never had a chance at winning a national championship; Atlantis won the national middleweight title in 1984. Alantis says his match will be good, and hopefully he’s right on that one.

La Sombra lost to Kota Ibushi in today’s Best of Super Juniors match, keeping him at 1-1 and 2 points. Good sign he’s not finishing ahead of Ibushi. I hadn’t thought about this before Sunday, but – if Sombra ended up with wins over Tiger Mask and Jushin Liger (the two people in his block who are names in Mexico) and no one else, that’d be better than beating everyone else and losing to just those two, assuming he didn’t make the semifinals. And maybe it’s is even better than making the semifinal.

Arena Colonial in Nuevo Laredo is closing after five years.

DJ Spectro looks back at Villano III vs Atlantis, and the fifth part of an interview with El Halcon.

Kcidis previews Wagner vs Electro.

People who are not interested in TripleMania:
– Luchas 2000 #523 previews Sin Salida
– Box Y Lucha #2976 previews Maximo vs Taichi

LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update and a Millennium Pro Wrestling recap.

IWRG’s poster for Thursday promotes wrestlers from the “Dragon Grate” promotion. Even if it’s spelled right, Nosawa is from All Japan. Not that it probably makes a difference. Not on the poster, but added according to SuperLuchas: AYUMI vs Tomoka Nakagawa.

CMLL (MON) 06/07 Arena Puebla
1) King Jaguar, Lestat, Tigre Rojo Jr. vs Akron, Fuerza Chicana, Toro Bill Sr.
2) Ángel de Plata, Fabián el Gitano, Sensei vs Dr. X, Hooligan, Nitro
3) Dalys la Caribeña, Lady Apache, Luna Mágica vs Mima Shimoda, Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sujei
4) La Máscara, Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Toscano vs Máscara Año 2000, Olímpico, Universo 2000
5) Strong Man vs Héctor Garza

Good lord.

Update: They changed the card. Hector and Rayo had better things to do, maybe.

CMLL (MON) 06/07 Arena Puebla
1) King Jaguar, Lestat, Tigre Rojo Jr. vs Akron, Fuerza Chicana, Toro Bill Sr.
2) Ángel de Plata, Fabián el Gitano, Sensei vs Dr. X, Hooligan, Nitro
3) Dalys la Caribeña, Lady Apache, Luna Mágica vs Mima Shimoda, Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sujei
4) Blue Panther, La Máscara, Toscano vs Olímpico, Shigeo Okumura, Taichi
5) Brazo de Plata, Shocker, Strong Man vs Gigante Bernard, Máscara Año 2000, Universo 2000

Gives me back some hope that Rayo is just showing up for the Sin Salida show and then disappearing. This is still awful.

– 05/29 CMLL 52MX
– 05/29 WWC – includes the Carlos Colon talk about his son’s issues
– 05/29 AAA – cruiserweight trios is said to be pretty good
– 05/29 AAA on MexicoTV – this, and the one from Sunday, are older AAA replays airing as “Lucha Mania” (same name as the IWRG show). They’ve been airing for a great while, but they (or the cable company) recently fixed something, so now I can edit and upload the videos.

The shows are really 2 one hour shows stapled together, with the vignettes and even most of the in-ring non-wrestling bits removed. They move matches around to fit their time requirement but generally are following one taping to the next. I have not watched these yet, but they should be the end of the 07/01/2007 taping and probably all of the 07/06 taping. I’m pretty sure this is on the internet somewhere already and so I’m not sure if I’m going to keep posting these unless something that didn’t air turns up.

IWRG and LATV were reruns.

Edit: 05/29 ACM now up.

Edit 2: new improved 05/30 Mexico TV lineup
