AAA TV (SUN) 08/19/2012 Centro Banamex
1) Dinastía, Fabi Apache, Pimpinela Escarlata vs Mini Histeria, Sexy Star, Yuriko
2) ?, Joe Lider, Juventud Guerrera vs Daga, Dark Dragon, Psicosis
3) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown vs Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Texano Jr., Toscano [AAA TRIOS]
4) Electroshock & Vampiro vs Chessman & Último Gladiador
5) Cibernético & Dr. Wagner Jr. vs Halloween & Silver King
From the expo site.
Air Date: uh, if TripleMania airs, 09/09 or 09/16. There’s still a taping in Merida between this and TripleMania.
Perhaps some spoilers here for TripleMania; Silver King is back on the rudo side. We haven’t seen him outside of teaming with Wagner, so he could still be meant to be a rudo, or he could be turning on Wagner, or (most likely) it’s typical inconsistent booking. (This is actually a great sneaky way to build up the tension for TripleMania.)
Matches 2 and 4 are listed as “revenge matches”. That may mean something for TripleMania, or it may just be usual random naming. The mystery guy is most likely Ricochet, since he’s working the DTU show earlier in the day.
The program for the show mentions a “Luchas nuevos valores AAA” show at noon on this day. No word who’s involved on any of the smaller shows.
While I’m at it, the rest of the lineups:
IWRG (FRI) 08/17/2012 Centro Banamex
1) Chicano, Golden Magic, Suicida vs Dowki, Eita, Imposible
2) Hijo de LA Park, Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., Niko vs Barba Roja, Hijo de Máscara Año 2000, Hijo de Pirata Morgan
3) Dr. Cerebro, Fuerza Guerrera, Heddi Karaoui vs Bestia 666, Súper Nova, X-Fly
4) Máscara Sagrada, Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Veneno vs Cien Caras Jr., Damián 666, Pirata Morgan
Second match is billed as a second generation match, which may or may not mean something about Niko. Cien Caras Jr. vs Rayo de Jalisco Jr. figures to be the emphasis of the main event.
It’s not listed on the card, but the schedule of events says there’s a FILL Copa Higher Power before the main IWRG show. That may be more interesting than most of the matches actually on the show.
The Perros del Mal lineup for Saturday have not been released. The schedule also lists a previously unmentioned Black Terror Jr. promotion show early Saturday in the main ring.
FULL (SAT) 08/18/2012 Centro Banamex
1) El Angel Del Amor & Randu vs Elemento & Kid Medrano
2) Charly Madrid, Comando, Mini Oriental vs Meiden, Mini Cibernetico, Raider
3) El Hijo de Aníbal, Oriental, Super Calo Jr. vs Bizarro, Canek Jr., Hijo de Pirata Morgan
4) Axel, Huracan Ramirez Jr., Tinieblas Jr. vs Lizmark Jr., Pirata Morgan, Scorpio Jr.
Tinieblas, Alushe and Carlos Hernandez will appear. Your card has some depth problems when Bizarro (who supposedly changed his name) is in the semimain.
Elektrolucha (SAT) 08/18/2012 Centro Banamex
1) Mini Cibernetico vs Taxita [bull terrier]
2) Nortux & Rhnox vs Adve & Roth Gargal
3) Estrellita, Ferdinando Valencia, Intocable, Laredo Kid vs Heddi Karaoui, Marian Cantu, Oriental, Zumbi
The Intocable led card is a weird mish-mash, but includes the only CMLL wreslter working the show. 3 match show is listed as 45 minutes long. Laredo Kid should spend his weekend shaking hands and making better contacts.
DTU (SUN) 08/19/2012 Centro Banamex
1) Kaleth vs Lucky Boy, Lanzeloth, Nino Hamburguesa, Rocky Lobo, ? [DTU AAACADEMICO]
match for vacant title
2) Keira vs Paloma Rouse, La Vaquerita, Lily Fighter
3) Araña de Plata Jr., Ciclope, Pequeno Cobra, Terremoto Negro vs Hormiga, Poison, Principe Halcon, Tacubo
4) Super Mega vs Shiryu Dragon, Paranoiko, Rebelde Punk, Rey Latino [DTU]
5) Flamita vs Ricochet, Drastik Boy, Eita, Eterno
Ricochet a high flying US independent/Dragon Gate wrestler worth YouTube-ing if you haven’t seen him. He’s the only foriegn guy brought in on a show that usually sees a few.
The cards themselves seem less interesting than previous year. No CMLL really hurts the depth.
Shows taking place the alternate ring:
Friday: Diosa Felina, ALNEM, DTU (“King of the Shoop” – they mean chop), Black Terror Jr., Ichiban
Saturday: Diosa Felina, Ichiban, DTU Academy, AULL (not a main ring show after all, just a 45 minute show)
Sunday: Ichiban, Diosa Felina, Black Terror Jr., AULL
Sunday will also have Fabi & the Psycho Circus teaching a lucha clinic for kids, and Elegido & Reyna del Rings doing dance shows. Friday night will end with a concert.

looks all very interesting this year ..nothing really special but all in all a strong Lucha Expo…iam really looking forward to the Ricochet match in DTU, the second match from AAA , well of course KIng of SHOOP hahaha and lets see what the new guy black terror puts out
“Laredo Kid should spend his weekend shaking hands and making better contacts.”
Laredo Kid should have never left AAA
@KDB_33: I wish AAA would go back to using local talent when taping outside the immediate DF area. This way guys like Laredo Kid would still be on television at times, even if not committed full-time to the company.
I miss that formula.
