Taped? Maybe? Who can say?
This card! September is clearly going to set the bar in so many ways. I don’t know if this card is going to be good, but I’m pretty sure it’s great.
I’d switch Halloween and Damian for match quality – Damian seemed a better bet to keep up of late – but that’s being done more in line of importance. I’d also switch X-Fly and Ragde or Konamy but how dare I disrespect the heavyweight champion like that.
Miss Jackie is almost certainty Jackie Gayda, Charlie Haas’ wife, but I don’t rule out anything with this group.
Nice to see the guys who aren’t on AAA TV getting to be on a show at all.
Update 09/01
This didn’t take long. Or maybe we should’ve just waited for the official poster all along. (Though, a lot of sites had the exact same ‘wrong’ lineup.)
PdM (THU) 09/16 Sala de Armas de la Magdalena Mihuca
0) TBA (hello Turbo)
1) Konamy vs el Ángel
2) Celestial & Miss Jackie vs Jennifer Blake & Mini Chessman

5) Damián 666, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Halloween vs Booker T, Dr. Wagner Jr., El Mesías
Out: Marco, Shelton, Super Nova (hmmmmm)
In: Hernandez
Semimain might be a crazy styles clash or it might just be crazy. Everything is now Perros (and allies) vs the World, which makes a bit more thematic sense.

This card should at least provide some entertainment, and maybe a good match or two. I’d actually bump Super Crazy to the main and Damian down so that you have the FdT vs Haas/Benjamin. I’d also either flip the teams to Wagner/Perro/Crazy vs Marco/Booker/Mesias in a Mexico vs nonMexicans relevos match for the Bicentennial or go with a triple threat Perro/Crazy vs Wagner/Mesias vs Marco/Booker. It seems to me that if you are going to run a promotion vs promotion vs ummm, people who used to be in a promotion card, you have to have one triple threat match or relevos match some where on the card.
^^ lol Alan books PdM cards better than PdM… lol
Clearly in some sort of alternate dimension I’m booking AAA, Cubs is booking CMLL and Alan is booking PdM. The IWL promoter is still promoting IWL though.
@JB: I’d even book an occasional clean finish to a main event just to keep everyone guessing.
@Rob: In this alternate dimension, would we have figured out a way to avoid the Lucha Expo fiasco?
@Rob: I thought you booked Neza?
Who is booking IWRG?
@Nikita: Pfft. Did you see the recent turnout for the Neza CMLL show? Like 30 people to see Toscano, Averno and Dr. X teaming against the Invaders. Clearly I’m not responsible for that. My heyday was back in the day when we’d draw at MINIMUM 75 people for Volador Jr., Valiente and Sombra De Plata vs Averno, Sangre Azteca and Zayco.
I can only assume the IWRG message board would get to book IWRG and proceed to defy all logic by drawing even lower crowds than they currently do.
There’s an updated card on the Perro’s facebook page. I’m not sure if it is better or worse, but some of it seems a little more logically laid out.
FYI PdM TV this week had mini’s from the Expo + the Supreme match. They said next week they’d show the match with the whores.
