box

52MX: Minis tournamnet, probably the whole hour. By the way, it looks like this show (and Ras de Lona) are now airing on VivaSports on Dish Mexico.

LATV: Aguila/Rush week 1.

TF: Bam Bam/Demus is the swing match here. Other matches are Delta/Metro/Stuka vs Escorpion/Vangelis/Yoshihashi + Avernos vs Fantasma/Rush/Maximo

———-

CMLL: Both main shows are shortened to 1 hour this week. Instead, Televisa (is airing the IIAF World Championships (track and field). There are 10 Mexicans who are competing this year, 7 in walking events.

1 hour = top 2. It’s listed as 1 hour in the US too, unless they wedge the Felino/Panther match in there.

AAA: THEY POSTED THIS INFO THEMSELVES! Air Force (2nd Division) vs Tito Santana/ex-CMLL, Jack/Tiger vs Escoria/Billy, Psycho Circus vs Milicia. 3 matches might mean one is short, but that’s still a show pretty full of great people.

FOX: Probably the women + Cancerberos vs Metal/Blanco/Dragon Lee

C3: Rush vs Mr. Aguila.

Mega6: Invasors vs Garza/Mascara/Dorada. Swing match is Metatron/Sensei vs Exterminador/Nitro.

TVC-Puebla: Guerreros fall apart, again.

ACM: Mascara Purpura/Garza Jr. vs Antifaz (still exists)/Hator

PdM: tonight’s show was the last of the Expo taping, not sure what they’re onto next yet. There are two other PdM themed shows between the Expo and the Junkyard/XPW show, but it’s tough to tell without the preview.

IWRG: the taping that is happening

new Abismo Negro?, UG/Hector/Atlantis, Perros vs AAA

A poster on the SML board says AAA is about to hold a contest to determine a new Abismo Negro. They make it sound like it’d be between current AAA wrestlers and name Argos, Argnis, Mortiz, Drago and Semental as being half the field in a talent selection contest. This seems iffy at best to me; they’re no chance Drago is not going to be Drago going forward for one. ( I wonder if this may just be some confusion with the Quein Por la Para Corona contest, but the poster’s previous threads indicate he does know some things going in CMLL. This is also a story that’s only the top one on a slow day.) When Abismo Negro passed away, AAA was definite in that no one would take over the name to replace the original.

Ultimo Guerrero talks about his remixed group and says he has no interest in Hector Garza’s hair, but would like Atlantis mask. Maybe a relevos suicidas? Maybe a cage? Maybe we should probably know this already? That one.

For his part, Atlantis says he’s not facing Ultimo Guerrero in a mask match at the Anniversary show.

Perro Aguayo Jr. challenged AAA to a “winner gets both companies” match. That is not a good deal for AAA, they’d need to get like AAA vs Perros del Mal, DTU, IWL and the Villano Gym to begin to make that equal.

There was a wallpaper of Estrellita with a Heroes Inmortales in AAA’s Facebook photo section at some point. Don’t see it now. I am not on Facebook (catchphrase) but I believe anyone can add their photos to your photo section if you just tag that person in it (depending on security permissions), and that appears to be what this was. This means less than nothing.

Los Traumas tell MT that they they decided not to use Negro Navarro Jr/Hijo de Negro Navarro because they didn’t want to be horrible and damage the name their father had built up. I bet that story is true, but the kids weren’t the ones who were concerned. Negro did come up with a name when Trauma when one was needed as a fill in, though it might have been inspired by a pirate movie.

Kind of funny to have El Hijo del Santo protesting a film that includes both nude women and his father, and also appearing on a Lucha Va Voom show. By funny, I mean “totally hypocritical, though Lucha Va Voom is still great.”
