AAA TV (FRI) 06/01/2012 Auditorio Benito Juárez de Veracruz [AAA, Estrellas del Ring]
1) Mini Charly Manson, Mini Histeria, Mini Psycho Clown b Dinastía, Mascarita Dorada, Octagoncito
Charly snuck in a foul on Dorada for the upset pin.
2) Gran Apache, Mari Apache, Sexy Lady b Atomic Boy, Fabi Apache, Lolita
Sexy Lady, making her TV debut, was the unlisted woman.
3) Argos, Semental, Toscano b Aerostar, Fenix, Sugi San
Aerostar, wearing his Laredo Kid colored out fit (green/black), was confused by fans as Laredo Kid. Consejo won, Toscano pinning Sugi.
4) CIMA, Halloween, Psicosis b Extreme Tiger, Joe Lider, Juventud Guerrera
CIMA was the mystery man on the rudo side. Psicosis brought the stapler again, and Lider bled. Psicosis pinned Lider.
5) Máscara Año 2000 Jr. & Texano b Dr. Wagner Jr. & Silver King
One of the Wagner brothers “bled an alarming amount” before Consejo got the win. Mascara made the challenge for a mask vs mask match at TripleMania.
6) Cibernético, Electroshock, LA Park DQ Chessman, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Héctor Garza
Earlier in the night, Mesias appeared to talk about his injury and state he’d be back at TripleMania. Perros interrupted, with Perro Jr. saying he’d take the title at TripleMania, but Mesias wasn’t going to be there because they were going break his other arm right now. Cibernetico ran the Perros off before they could do anything. Perro promised trouble for both men at TripleMania. In this match, Dorian and Joaquin got involved, with Joaquin taking a chair shot from Chessman. As typical, chairs shots were allowed but a shot from a bat was enough to get the DQ.

Projected air date: 06/10 and 06/17 – easily enough material here for two weeks, and there were two dark matches to add on even if there wasn’t. The entire taping went around 4 hours, 8:30 to 12:30 central.

Next taping is 06/16 in Teziutlan, Puebla. They’re probably announcing the one after that on TV this weekend. This Veracruz taping leaves AAA with seven weeks to tape before TripleMania, and it seems like they’ve got the top three matches figured out. It’ll be Mesias vs Perro (with Cibernetico involved?), Mascara 2000 Jr. vs Dr. Wagner in a mask match, and LA Park vs Jeff Jarrett. They’ve got the next two months to sort out everything else and make people care.

CMLL (FRI) 06/01/2012 Arena Mexico [CMLL, Kaiser Sports]
1) Amapola, La Seductora, Tiffany b Dark Angel, Estrellita, Marcela
Rudas took two straight. Estrellita randomly challenged for a Amapola/Tiffany vs Esterllita/Marcela mask match.
2) Rey Cometa, Stuka Jr., Valiente DQ Namajague, Puma King, Shigeo Okumura
Tecnicos took 1/3. Puma, who came to the ring with Arissma’s mask, pulled Cometa’s mask for the DQ.
3) Diamante b Dragon Lee [En Busca de un Idolo] VideosOficialesCMLL
Both missed on their finishing flying moves (Diamante landing badly after his springboard 450, Dragon Lee landing on his feet on a missed SSP), then Diamante put Dragon Lee instantly tapped out. Diamante scored 28 points with the judges, Dragon Lee scored 26.
4) Titán b Euforia [En Busca de un Idolo] VideosOficialesCMLL
Titan wiped himself out on a bad dive, but recovered later on. Weird finish; Euforia shoved Tony Salazar away when recovering from a dive, then trapped Titan in the Nirvanalock. Titan was in the process of giving up when Salazar threw in a towel, and apparently that counts as giving up. Euforia thought he had won (and so did the fans.) Titan got 10s from everyone, but a 6 from Tirantes for a 36. Euforia scored a 22.
5) Rey Bucanero, Terrible, Tiger b Diamante Azul, La Sombra, Máximo
6) Rey Escorpion b Black Warrior [hair] retro80s90s
Sombra & Dragon Rojo were seconds. Quick first two falls. Rey Escorpion took 1/3 to win, using a package piledriver in the third. Warrior was shaved and strechered out. Escorpion dedicated the win to Sonora and his family.
7) Atlantis, La Máscara, Shocker b Mephisto, Volador Jr., Yujiro
Tecnicos took 2/3.

The En Busca de un Idolo matches are another round robin, which will take it at least thru June 15th. Not sure how it ends; they’re doing the same polling and judging this time, but the contest can’t possibly end on a Wednesday poll result. Can it?

The En Busca de un Idolo news section mentioned last week that Ultimo Guerrero blames Tony Salazar for only one rudo making it to the final, blaming him for doing a bad job of the coaching. Salazar disagrees, feeling he’s responsible for Euforia getting this far. This week, the news section says Guerrero & Euforia have been working with a Secret Trainer, who has both tecnico and rudo skills. This would seem to have been the time to debut the new trainer, but no sign of him yet, just Salazar giving Euforia the loss.

My instant guess on the trainer was Satanico, since he’s a trainer, has been both tecnico and rudo, and has history with both. Both Euforia & Ultimo Guerrero are Laguneros, so another option could be someone from that region: a Blue Panther, or this might be a neat way to give Espanto Jr. some limelight. Julio Cesar Rivera has been mentioning him in Sombra matches of late.

Today’s the latest Todo x el Todo show. Main event is Demon, Santo, and Mascara Sagrada vs Fuerza Guerrera, Angel Blanco and Hijo del Solitario. The promotion started as Santo vs Solitario feud, with Blanco being positioned as the obstacle in Santo’s path, but the latest interviews have moved away from Solitario and towards Fuerza.

Bill has highlights of the 09/21/1990 CMLL 57th Anniversary.

LuchaWorld has Freelance, Maximo, and Fenix on the top 100, and KrisZ’s news report.

AAA confirms TripleMania is August 5th.

Shocker says the next season of El Luchador airs in October.

Lineups

CMLL (FRI) 06/08/2012 Arena Mexico
1) Leono & Robin vs Apocalipsis & Cholo
2) Eléctrico, Pequeño Halcón, Último Dragoncito vs Demus 3:16, Pequeño Violencia, Pierrothito
3) Estrellita vs Marcela, Dark Angel, Lady Apache, Dalis la Caribeña, Luna Mágica, Lady Afrodita, Amapola, Tiffany, La Seductora [cibernetico]
4) Diamante vs Euforia [En Busca de un Idolo]
5) Titán vs Dragon Lee [En Busca de un Idolo]
6) Atlantis, Black Warrior, Delta vs Mr. Águila, Psicosis, Volador Jr.
7) Marco Corleone, Máximo, Rush vs Rey Escorpion, Último Guerrero, Yujiro

They’re pushing that the package piledriver Rey Escorpion won with might seriously injured Black Warrior’s neck, so I sort of expect him not to actually wrestle here. Both top two matches look like possible setups for trios title matches.

In last night’s chat, the idea came up that multiple women’s feuds might be setting up a women’s cage match. CMLL is already advertising  a special Father’s Day show for next week. Pieces might fit together.
