As mentioned in the comments on twitter, a response on the Galavision facebook page – not the most official of statements, but we take we can get – says AAA was dropped because CMLL is HD and AAA is not and they wanted HD programming (and all lucha is the same lucha to them.) I don’t know what this means, but the permalink to the comment now doesn’t work; maybe it’s deleted, maybe it’s private and I don’t have an account, maybe I just don’t understand facebook. Anyone got a spare Google+ invite?

Way back in SuperLuchas 404 (cover date March 7), they were talking to Dorian Roldan about his AAA and CMLL working together idea. This came up (emphasis mine)

Qué proyectos habrá con Triple A en los próximos meses?
“Vienen muchos proyectos. Vamos a cambiar la imagen total de Triple A, vamos a cambiar de estilos, de escenografía, vamos a entrar a la alta definición, estamos abriendo los gimnasios de la Triple A. Para la Triplemanía de este año hay muchas sorpresas, y no sólo en la cuestión luchística, sino en la producción”

So, perhaps they will get HD cameras and Galavision will welcome them back with open arms and everyone will live happily ever after. Both CMLL & AAA being on regular TV makes it much easier for me to create gifs, and that’s the really important thing here. Until then, polite requests to Galavision via their twitter or facebook might help, might just annoy their social media people. Who can say.

52MX: Averno vs La Mascara in trios.

LATV: if they’re back on schedule (???), the Hijo del Fantasma vs Rey Bucanero NWA LH final airs. If they’re not, maybe they can show the Astro Boy match again.

TF: another show not a fan of chronological order. The show we should’ve got last week (and may get this week) has random trios, the show that follows the on they actually showed last week has Rush vs Psicosis. That sounds like a Thing.

CMLL: Averno vs La Mascara in trios.

AAA: edited highlights of TripleMania, including maybe the dark match maybe. I need to fit enough maybes there to make sure Bihari doesn’t get excited and then let down.

C3: Women’s Trios + Forjando un Idolo finals.

Mega6: swing match is a women’s trios (so no.)

Puebla: Averno vs La Mascara in trios.

Monterrey: I don’t know!

Perros: I don’t know! I will tell you that I saw terceracaida alert us that this week’s Perros del Mal show was about to air on uStream Thursday, thought I should investigate to find out what they’re on, and then totally forgot about it and did something better. Refunds are available at the front desk.

IWRG: the show that happened tonight that everyone was too busy going to the AAA taping (or going nowhere) to tell us about yet.
