AAA-US: part 4 (and final) of the best of. Staggered feed on the west coast, and Galavision doesn’t actually have listings from Sunday’s show.

52MX: Minis + Renegades/Vangelis vs Astro/Stuka/Valiente

LATV: two new episodes in a row? Maybe Minis + Dark Angel/Sujei lightning match if that doesn’t air on the main show.

Teleformula: this show has been weird lately; last week’s show had a match from 12/14 and a match from 11/23, and three weeks ago they picked random matches from October. If they kept pace, this would be the show with Pesta Negra in the main event, but maybe they’ll skip it so they don’t lose both of their announcers.

——

CMLL: If they’re still one week behind, this is the Invasors vs rudos and Polvoa vs Sangre.

AAA-MEX: the rest of the year opening taping: Milicia vs tecnicos, Milicia vs tecnico, Circus vs Perros.

C3: Ampola vs Marcela, which should be great.

CMLL-GDL: bonus match is women’s trios. Do what you will with that knowledge.

Puebla: Invasors vs Rudos

ACM: Mascara Purpura, Furor, and maybe a fan or two.

PdM: who knows (not me)

IWRG: Gringos/Diablo vs Terrible Cerebros

CMLL-TFN: Parajes Increible tournament, part 1.

three man cavernaria?

taped in Arena Mexico, 12/26/2010

I’ve taken a hard stand and refused to post the battle royal. Truly the controversial decision that will define my reign of terror.

Cancerbero, Raziel, Virus vs Ángel Azteca, Ángel de Plata, Guerrero Maya Jr. [MEX TRIOS, QF]: This was the usual okay match between these teams. It must’ve been very sad for Angel de Plata and Angel Azteca Jr. when they saw Angel de Oro split up from them and winning like crazy without them. He’s going somewhere, they’re having many more matches with the Cancerbros.

Ángel de Oro, Diamante, Rush vs Durango Kid, Puma King, Tiger Kid [MEX TRIOS, QF]: Quite often around here, the tournament you want to get is not the one you get. Maybe the Cats just aren’t built for tournaments, it just doesn’t seem to go well for them ever. This match here got better once they took control. Do we have a consensus on CMLL Durango Kid? Sometimes he’s good, sometimes he’s just sort of there.

Ángel de Oro, Diamante, Rush vs Cancerbero, Raziel, Virus [MEX TRIOS, SF]: Oddly low amount of time for the final (or oddly clipped to a low amount of time), but they made the most of it. The tecnicos all can do cool things on occasion, but it’s totally up to the rudos to keep it together.

Amapola retains her title again, Misterioso, Fabriuchis

CMLL (TUE) 01/25/2011 Arena Mexico [SuperLuchas, CMLL]
1) Durango Kid, Escorpion, Tiger Kid b Leono, Molotov, Starman
2) Hooligan, Loco Max, Nitro b Ángel Azteca Jr., Ángel de Plata, Sensei
3) Delta, Metro, Valiente DQ Euforia, Vangelis, Virus
Delta replaced Diamante. Straight fall win for the tecnicos, after Virus fouled Valiente in the second.
4) Amapola b Marcela [CMLL WOMEN]
Amapola wins again. Why did they do a tournament to set this up?
5) Blue Panther, Máscara Dorada, Super Porky b Héctor Garza, Mr. Águila, Olímpico
Mascara Dorada was the only one from the Japan tour to work, but he did wrestle. Garza took the second fall with using the ropes, and Panther got revenge with the same trick in the third.

Misterioso wants another shot at Ultimo Guerrero and his title in one of CMLL’s main arenas, but his focus has moved on to the three way Poder Mexica match. Misterioso’s conspiracy theory is Sangre Azteca was trying to get sympathy from the fans by complaining about Dragon Rojo leaving the group, use that sympathy to get on the ballot to replace Mascara Dorada in the Mex trios champions, and then win that to get a title. Misterioso should get to explain more things, he’s fantastic.

The Fabriuchis character who’s been turning around Arena Coliseo Guadalajara is not the gossip celebrity, but a new gimmick for a local luchador: Guero Loco. He’s been out with a knee injury since October 2009. He’s supposed to return to the ring in a few weeks and wants to bring back Asesino Negro team with him.

***Fan Apperciation Day, Feb (TUE)***
1) Rayo Tapatío I & Rayo Tapatío II vs Camorra & Mortiz
2) Fabián el Gitano, Metatrón, Trueno vs Escorpion, Hooligan, Nitro
3) Diamante, Fuego, Guerrero Maya Jr. vs Nosferatu, Vangelis, Yoshihashi
4) Metro, Rush, Sagrado vs Ephesto, Misterioso II, Terrible
5) Blue Panther, Hijo del Fantasma, La Sombra vs Atlantis, Felino, Héctor Garza

Garza/Panther continues. Maybe they can tease that for Dos Leyendas too.

Yoshihashi is not only unbanned, but that would be his first match without Okumura in months. Hopefully Maya’s actually back this time.
