(AAA TV gets it’s own post, as usual.)

CMLL (SAT) 07/24 Centro Banamex [MT, R de Rudo, Estrellas del Ring, La WagnerMania, The Gladiatores]

4) Atlantis, Rey Bucanero, Último Guerrero b Dragón Rojo Jr., Jushin Liger, Shigeo Okumura
5) Místico, Shocker, Strong Man b Héctor Garza, Terrible, Texano
No angles on the show, just a spot show in front of an enthusiastic crowd. Mistica on Garza for the main event win.
Dragon Rojo replaced the (bizarrely) advertised Mr. Niebla, in what was said to be the best match of the show.
The big CMLL news of the show is they were charging 20 pesos for photo, where everyone else was taking them for free (and maybe CMLL might have supposed to as well.)
CMLL Fashion Show: Estrellas del Ring, The Gladiatores.
IWRG (SUN) 07/25 Centro Banamex [Black Terry Jr. (flickr), R de Rudo, Estrellas del Ring]
1) Chico Che & Freelance b Eterno & Imposible
2) Avisman, El Hijo del Diablo, Gringo Loco b Black Terry, Cerebro Negro, Comando Negro

4) Silver King b Máscara Año 2000 Jr. [IWRG IC HEAVY]
Partial victory for IWRG! That’s enough a fine day for them. Oficial 911 beat Espiritu to win the Copa for his promotion. This match gave us such finishes as “Billy Boy eliminated by Mike Segura” and “Nicho beat by Veneno”.
Silver King is still IWRG champ, though it took help from Espiritu, Hijo de Tirantes, and and a foul to get the job done.
Gringos used a foul to win the segunda.
Dos de Tres has photos of the cibernetico, video of that match, and video of the title match.
PdM (SUN) 07/25 Centro Banamex [MT, Estrellas del Ring, R de Rudo]
1) Heddi Karaoui, Pesadilla, Ragde b Drastik Boy, Konami, Naruto
2) Celestial & Cósmico b Mr. Aguilita & Talisman
3) Annie Social & Diva Salvaje b Medussa & Shelly Martinez
4) el Ángel, El Hijo de Rey Misterio, Hijo de LA Park b Bestia 666, Black Warrior, TJP
5) Damián 666 b Supreme and X-Fly [hardcore]
6) El Hijo Del Santo, LA Park, Marco Corleone DQ el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Halloween, Hijo del Lizmark
Tecnicos were going to win the match, but then La Park decided he didn’t like how Santo accidentally hit him before, and ripped off his mask. So his side still wins by DQ. If this is the last Perros del Mal show, I’m so glad they went out how they lived, with a indecipherable disqualification finish. Way to be true to oneself. They teased Santo/Park, but Park’s in AAA and Santo’s sure not going there any time this century.
Semimain was the ultraviolent match DTU was prohibited from doing last year. Things can change. X-Fly was strechered out, and Damian pinned Supreme to win.
Other Stuff
Dorian Roldan continues to feud with El Hijo del Santo, patting himself on the back for being polite, complaining that Santo called him a name, and dropped Santo’s real name, all during their TV taping. Over on his blog, Cesar wonders why Dorian is an imebcile, and my belief is it’s because he doesn’t have people around him correcting him when he goes astray – someone needs to be telling him to get off Twitter right now. Dorian is probably completely in the right in his argument with Santo, but he’s also embarrassing himself, and his company, and burning bridges he’ll need someday. A mid 20s kid with a lot of people who listen to him may not realize this, but I’m sure there are people around him who know better.
R de Rudo notes a talkative Ke Monito, body paint on Christina Von Eerie, and some of the other women at the shows.
Cesar rips matches on the El Pancracio show and Los Perros show, especially that women’s match.
SuperLuchas has one man’s experience of Day 1.
Espaldas Planas has photos of the second day.
Los Villanos sign autographs, talk about the hour plus matches they used to wrestle in El Toreo. MT also has “Lucha Libre, it’s for women too!” article, and one about a lucha artwork site called idolos.com.mx.

I’m pretty sure if Annie Social played 7 minutes in heaven with Dorian she’d have a lifetime contract with AAA by the 2 minute mark. Perhaps controlling interest in the company by the 3 minute mark.
I can’t wait for the eventual Konnan split from AAA so we can hear all the stories about what an idiot Dorian is unlike the current BS he spews. “Dorian is so young and hip – he uses twitter to hit on chicks and he watches CSI! This is why he runs AAA!”
@Rob: LEGIT QUESTION on the same topic: whatever happened to Dorian’s secretary? Three weeks of story with her and never mentioned again.
All Dorian has to do with Annie Social is ask her to turn around. She’s big into that.
So judging from the photos it looks like both the sluts pretty much worked topless which explains why they were brought in.
Serious question: Wouldn’t it pay better to just work as a topless dancer? I can’t imagine either chick made more money on this Mexico gig than they would after tips at any local strip joint. Is it just a case that they haven’t resigned themselves to understanding nobody wants them for their talent and just wants to see their fake tits?
