I’m going to leave the CMLL main show in the section in the Mexico section. No sense changing anything until the US version inevitable gets lagged behind.
I have no inside info on this, but I believe the reason why CMLL is back on in the US has little to do with CMLL. Galavision is trying to get it’s HD channel carried by cable systems, they need more HD programming to be attractive, and they happened to own the rights to two hours HD hours of TV they could be airing. That it’s CMLL is a happy concidence.
CMLL has not mentioned they’re back on in the US, does not care, but probably only got this slot because they went to HD (and AAA hasn’t, yet.)
I don’t get Galavision HD. If I did, my guess is y’all would still prefer SD downloads, because you’re not watching these downloads on HD screens and all that extra file size (and encoding time) wouldn’t actually be helping anyone. Is that a sound guess?
DST starts this Sunday in Mexico, in the places where it hasn’t already started. This won’t help anyone trying to watch shows on feeds on Saturday, but it will help everyone who records both the Teleformula and Lucha de Vuleta shows since they shouldn’t be overlapping now. (So, just me & Alfredo.) IWRG will also be airing an hour earlier, if TVCDeportes decides to run it’s feed.
AAA-US: last show before Rey de Reyes includes the 4th Metal/Electroshock, Mesias returning from near death pretty much OK (he did return from being set ablaze and drifting out to sea, so we really shouldn’t be surprised), Lucha Libre USA champion Hijo de Lizmark in action.
52MX: Rayo Tapatio I’s war against youngsters rolls, plus a random assortment of people
LATV: reruns? Reruns.
CMLL-GDL: Rey Bucanero vs Maximo, Maximo’s final match in CMLL ever (for about a day.)
————-
AAA-MEX: listed as an hour earlier, beyond the time change. Rey de Reyes 2, so it’s all on the internet already. Not sure which matches aired last week.
CMLL: They definitely promoted Averno vs Mascara Dorada. They did not mention Alvarados vs Doble T at all, so it’s probably getting left off like Aguila/Bucanero did last time around. Probably the Peste Negra vs Sombra/Toscano/Rush match, and maybe either the minis opener or another unaired lightning match.
FOX: Cancerbros vs Oro/Plata/Delta + Atlantis/Casas/Volador vs Mascara/Sombra/Porky
C3: title challenges all around.
CMLL-GDL: swing match is Metal Blanco/Palacio Negro vs Inquisidor/Raziel
Puebla: Niebla vs UG, week 1
ACM: UG vs Espartaco + Felino, Mr. Niebla and Negro Navarro (for real) vs Mascara Dorada, Silencio, Stuka Jr.
Perros: a rerun!
IWRG: the taping that’s going on right now.
————-
CMLL-TFN: have totally lost track here

They showed a clip of the H2L main event during the promo for the 4/1 Arena Mexico show. My guess is that clip was supposed to be in the coming attractions for next week’s television, along with the Averno vs. Mascara Dorada footage. Not that anyone is dying to see that match anyway.
