CMLL Press Conference

Averno & La Mascara had a scrum at press conference, which included Jose Luis Feliciano getting knocked off the stage. Being a CMLL programmer is a rough job right now. Averno vowed to add his name to the (long) list of people who have unmasked members of the Alvarado family.

There was a few discussions about the Forjando un Idolo, with the final tonight. Rey Escorpion apologized to Ultimo Guerrero, so I guess they’re friends again. Blue Panther and Negro Casas continued to challenge each other. There was talk about the individual groups sticking together; this doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, because they were never really allies, always intra-group rivals. Forjando un Idolo would’ve been more interesting if we actually saw the mentors working with their four students and got the idea that this was a union outside the matches, but that was never shown.

Record has an interview with Angel de Oro hyping up the tournament and tonight’s final. He’s the clear favorite.

Anyway, the interesting bit is Negro, Panther, and UG were all there, but Shocker was not (though Delta & Guerrero Maya were there representing.) CMLL took away Shocker’s NWA LH title at this press conference, which gave him another reason to be here, but he was not. Seems suspicious. Fuego en el Ring has an interview with Shocker in Guadalajara, so he could’ve just been out of town at the wrong time. This press conference seemed to be rushed, only announced an hour before it happened.

Dorian Roldan congratulated CMLL for booking an apuesta match the day before TripleMania. Maybe a bit of sarcasm there.

Other Stuff

LuchaWorld has this week’s Ras de Lona.

IWRG is holding a wrestler creation contest. Winner gimmick will debut at the Expo.

Sangre Azteca takes on his toughest opponent: Sangre Azteca. (via ByL)

On Colt Cabana’s podcast, Mad Man Pondo says he’s coming to Mexico in June. That sounds like DTU, but I thought they were off until July.

2011 AAA TV Chart
Projected Air Date (#992)
Mexico: 06/05
US: 06/19

Early on in the show, Konnan, Dorian and the debuting Violento Jack had an argument with Joaquin, which led to Joaquin taking a chair shot. I think the idea is Joaquin and Marisela kicked Dorian out of AAA at the last taping, but that doesn’t seem to have much of an effect.

A couple notes from Dr. Landru of the Gladiatores

  • Astro Boy was at the tapings. He’s probably the new Air Force member, joining at the Arena Neza taping.
  • The AAA Trios tournament is just two rounds – the four teams who’ve won so far (Bizarros, Dark Family, Perros, Circus) will meet in a four way at TripleMania.

That means the Bizarros vs Underground match is off, though something will have to replace it to get La Parka & Drago on the card. After SLP, when AAA was running down the card, they did not mention that match, so this decision must’ve been made a while ago but not made very clear. It’s been one of their focal points of TV over the last few weeks, so it’s very odd it’s been dropped and probably means the Bizarros need to be in that trios title match for a very important reason.

No sign of another taping between now and Neza; we’re short one. This show really feels like the last taping before TripleMania, and Neza really feels like the lame duck taping after it, so maybe there will be an all recap/interview/hype show the Sunday prior to the PPV? It would save a little money, and they could spend two hours telling us to people to order the PPV (if they’re on PPV.)
