box. Galavision (US)’s Saturday evening is bumped off the lineup, but the new show should air on the overnight.
CMLL Fox Deportes in the US seems to be dead already. The two scheduled airings this past weekend were not aired, and it’s not on the schedule again until mid-April (and they have may have just not updated that.)
== AAA ==
AAA-Televisa: Demon vs Texano and Rey de Reyes final. The UTDN Thursday airing isn’t currently listed on the schedule, but that has corrected itself in the past. The Saturday show is still on.
AAA-Fusion: Maybe the Fusion title match? Keep guessing this, might be right.
== CMLL ==
Galavision/Televisa: Atlantis vs Ultimo Guerrero
FOX: Sombra/Rush/Thunder vs Averno/Mephisto/Terrible & Misterioso/Namajague/Okumura vs Oro/Cometa/Stuka
52MX: a really good Mascara Dorada vs Mephisto lightning match and Rey Bucanero’s return.
C3: Angel de Oro, Shocker, Valiente vs Kraneo, Mr. Aguila, Psicosis to set up a title match
GDL: Rayo de Jalisco Jr. vs Universo 2000
TVC Deportes (Puebla): another block of the tournament. Seems like it’s back on Mondays until it changes again.
Terra: Diamante Azul, Mistico, Valiente vs Euforia, Niebla Roja, Volador
== Other ==
IWRG-AYM Sports: tag team tournament
IWRG-TVC Deportes: Fenix vs Dinamic Black
Noches de Coliseo: Seems down to 1 or 2 matches a week, hoping Silencio vs Simbolo makes it thru.
CMLL on CadenaTres: 2013-03-09
CMLL on Fox Sports (Mexico): 2013-03-09
CMLL on Televisa: 2013-03-09
AAA on Televisa (National): 2013-03-09 – never actually watched the UTDN long versions for this week.
AAA Fusion: 2013-03-13
DTU’s postponed today’s show in Queretaro to sometime in April. They blame it on inability to complete some administrative items done due to the holidays. Among other issues, this messes up the tournament they’re running over four shows.
Last night’s AAA Fusion aired the two orphaned matches from the Sin Limite San Luis Potosi taping – the opener trios with Atomic Boy and Gran Apache, and the Fusion title match preview with the Mexican Powers vs Perros del Mal. They focused on the Fusion tournament thru a lot of the show, so I’d still figure that title match airs here next week. This week’s Tercera Caida is also up. (I didn’t get to scan thru that one.)
AAA posted a news update about the AAA split, though it’s not really anything new. It’s actually less than what we know, because it mentions each group will have each it’s own shows but doesn’t mention specifically Fusion or UTDN. They probably should announce a start date at some point.
This week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter mentions Canek & Villano IV will be used again by AAA going forward. Seems like that would be diminshing returns. Maybe one will get a mask match payoff? (Those last couple parts are me guessing.)

An indy group posted results from their own show! I am so thrilled. It’s the little things.
Torneo Liguilla Premier is a standard round robin league tournament. Everyone faces everyone, 2 points for a win, 1 points for a loss, winner gets to be in the main event of the Mexico City show.

CMLL (TUE) 03/26/2013Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [@acogdl]
1) Leo & Virgo b Demonio Maya & Évola Virgo takes falls 1/3.
2) Astral, Pequeño Halcón, Stukita b Mercurio, Pequeño Olímpico, Pequeño Violencia Straight falls. First win for Stukita!
3) Goya Kong, Marcela, Silueta b Princesa Blanca, Princesa Sugheit, Zeuxis Tecnicas took 2/3, Goya plancha on Sugheit
4) La Sombra, Máscara Dorada, Máximo b Dragón Rojo Jr., Pólvora, Rey Escorpión Tecnicos took 1/3, Sombra and Polvora exchanging pinfalls in each round.
5) Rayo de Jalisco Jr. b Universo 2000 Javier Cruz Jr. was Rayo de Jalisco’s second. Rayo took the first, Universo took the second, and Rayo took the third due to a distrection.
LuchaWorld explains down the Mascairta Dorada to WWE rumor, and it seems not to be rumor but actual fact; the WON mentioned a Mexican mini was training with WWE, and Dorada says he’s in FCW. No one’s quite sure what they’ve got planned for him (assuming there is a plan.)
Porra Fresa misses the Stigma vs Bobby Zavala feud. The Arena Coliseo Tag Titles need to go Namajague/Okumura to Super Halcon/Hombre Bala to Disturbio/Zavala, and then they can feud with Stigma and, let’s say, Asturiano. Everything solved.
CMLL (TUE) 04/02/2013Arena Mexico
1) Bengala & Génesis vs Herodes Jr. & Inquisidor
2) Aereo, Fantasy, Shockercito vs Mercurio, Pequeño Nitro, Pequeño Violencia

6) Kráneo, Mr. Águila, Psicosis vs Ángel de Oro, Shocker, Valiente [MEX TRIOS] Invasors are champions and are attempting second defense
Shocker tried this with Blue Panther and Brazo de Plata back in January. I think he’s got a slightly better shot this time. Lightning match probably won’t air.
CMLL (TUE) 04/02/2013Arena Coliseo Guadalajara

2) Acero, Astral, Último Dragoncito vs Demus 3:16, Pequeño Olímpico, Pequeño Warrior

4) Sicodélico Jr. vs Chico Latino, Genocida [Zero One Mexico CHAMP] Sicodelico is champion.
5) Dr. Wagner Jr. & Máscara Púrpura vs Konnan Big & Rico Rodriguez
Main event is billed as an epic first time encounter, though Wagner did face Konnan Plus back in 2003. It’s still epic.
I spend way too much time checking to see if Zero One Mexico is a real group. It is, everyone wrote about it back in September when it was announced. There’s not been much follow up, because Zero One Mexico seems to be running shows in Texas. Close!
