World Cup will play with the scheduled for a while. In a unhelpful but unsurprising development, the Perros del Mal won’t be appearing anywhere this week. This week’s AAA TV was taped before TripleMania, so they won’t be there unless AAA adds some TripleMania footage. Their own show, which seemed to be on pace to start the DF taping, is preempted this week. The Perros recently ran a poll asking about when people would ant to see the show, and I wonder if we’ll be seeing it at all when the World Cup is over. The same preemptions knock Puebla off the schedule as well.
In the US, the Sunday early morning repeat of AAA seems to be off during the World Cup.
AAA-US: a 2 hour preview of TripleMania, which won’t air for seven months here. This is a poor week to start watching this show.
52MX: Fantasma/Mascara/Shocker vs Alebrije/Olimpico/Psicosis, plus the heavyweight match of doom. This is a poor week to start watching this show too.
LATV: they’ve been alternating weeks, and this looks to be an off week, but that next new episode has Tuareg vs Astro/Maya/Sensei, and Poder Polvora vs Los Angeles

CMLL-MEX: Top 3 includes Valiente/Virus – will they get more time than the lightning match? Also, Mistico and Volador on opposite sides of a trios.
AAA-MEX: taped before TripleMania, this has Wagner/Parka vs Electro/Silver, and Hernandez/Park/Zorro vs Cibernetico/Metal/Octagon. Will the Sect/Alan match be cut this time?
CMLL-FOX: Mistico and Volador opposite sides of the trios, and Maximo vs Taichi. First airing this week moves to 9:30 AM on Sunday. Fox Sports Mexico does not have the World Cup, they’re just being difficult.
C3: The exciting Magica/Magica team up. Also Hijos de Averno vs Guerreros.
Puebla: Off, World Cup
Monterrey: Poder del Norte and Vipers III?
PdM: Off, World Cup

CMLL-TFN: if they skip the missed week, Maximo/Sagrado/Valiente vs Misterioso/Okumura/Virus, plus Shocker vs Dos, loser forced to move to Flordia and wrestle in endless dark matches.

Hey Cubs,
I tried to tell you before the Super JR. tournament that Kushida might have a fair chance against La Sombra because of his association with Tajiri and their working relationship with NJPW, since he is SMASH’s ace.
Anyways too bad for Sombra but at least he had a lot of strong outings that will still make him a viable star in international markets. I think he definately turned some heads…
So IWRG is in repeat mode in both the US and Mexico, or not on at all?
TFN is back on track. Aired what was supposed to air last week so next will be the Shocker vs Dos Jr. match and unaired segunda.
@LLL: Teleformula’s been airing the same IWRG show for the last 6-7 weeks. I would assume its the same thing in Mexico.
@Alfredo: Thanks. I know that Black Terry Jr reported seeing cameramen at a recent show, so maybe they’re back at Naucalpan. For some reason, it looks like they weren’t taping, as you’d see at least one cameraman in one of the many Black Terry Jr., photos.
