AAA TV (MON) 07/15/2013 Polideportivo La Huizachera, Tehuacan, Puebla
1) Lucky Boy & Niño de Ébano vs Carta Brava Jr. & El Apache
2) Faby Apache, Octagoncito, Pimpinela Escarlata vs Mamba, Mini Abismo Negro, Taya Valkyrie
3) Angélico & Jack Evans vs Chessman & Eterno
4) Monster Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown vs Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Silver King, Texano Jr.
5) Cibernético & El Mesías vs el Hijo del Perro Aguayo & Psicosis

You need to go the page to see the bald Cibernetico art.

Air Date: 07/20.

So THIS will be the first Cibernetico vs Perro TV match. Unless there’s even more TV around here somewhere. Psicosis appears to exist to take the pinfall in the main event.

More Consejo vs Psychos.  Tercera could be awesome. Opener should be a lot of fun.

We’re getting this slightly out of order, but it’s a total of four TV tapings post TripleMania now. There’s the Fusion taping in Mexico City and the regular Televisa shows in Estado de Mexico, Puebla and Xalapa. Random names unseen: Dr. Wagner Jr., Electroshock, Blue Demon Jr., Villano IV, pretty much everyone from the legends match, Heavy Metal, Infernal Rockers, Dinastia, Jennifer Blake, Aerostar. Crazy Boy & Joe Lider, the team that won the tag team titles, only turn up on Fusion. Angelico & Jack, who were out of that match in six minutes, appear on every Sin Limite. Psicosis appears on all four tapings – that’s a lot of staples! I do not quite understand how things work out this way, but I’m sure it makes sense to someone.

There generally doesn’t appear to be a whole lot happening on this shows as far as storylines moving forward, but that’s usually when AAA has it’s best matches of late.

07/19 AAA TV Lineup (Xalapa)

AAA TV (FRI) 07/19/2013 Arena Xalapa
1) Alebrije, Atomic Boy, Niño Hamburguesa vs Argos, El Apache, Último Gladiador
2) Halloween & Mary Apache vs Drago & Faby Apache [AAA MIXED TAG]
Halloween & Mary Apache are champions
3) Cuervo, Espíritu, Ozz vs Daga, Eita, Psicosis
4) Angélico, Fénix, Jack Evans vs Parka Negra, Pentagón Jr., Steve Pain
5) Cibernético, El Mesías, La Parka vs Chessman, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Texano

Lineup is from here.  Taping isn’t officially acknowledged, but they’ve teased news soon about a show in this the Arena Xalapa Facebook had mentioned it was happening. First taping in this building in two years.

Air Date: 07/27? We don’t know if Tehuacan is a one or two taping show yet, but everything appears to be one week shows. (Which means the openers may disappear into the abyss.)

Main event is Perro versus Cibernetico with other people happening to be around. Tercera is the same feud, so it doesn’t appear to be going away (but when does a lucha feud ever go away?) It looks like Eita is a full time Perros del Mal member if he can make the first show, at least as long as he’s full time in Mexico.

The summer of Steve Pain! Or that semimain spot just seems to be rotating around various unaffiliated rudos. That should be a pretty good match, as should be the tercera and segunda. That title match is the first time Faby Apache has ever teamed with Drago on a TV show.

Atomic Boy vs Apache feud continues. Maybe they’ll wrap this by December.

AAA in Naucalpan, Marvin, Goyito, Titan, Santo

IWRG’s usual Thursday show is replaced by an AAA sponsored show in Arena Naucalpan tonight. Main event is billed as the first Cibernetico/Perro meeting since TripleMania, though this time in a trios. Not a taping as far as we can figure, though highlights might turn up on Tercera Caida. CMLL luchadors are working a show in Arena Aficion.

Ricky Marvin will be at Arena Coliseo San Luis Potosi this Sunday. That post says Virus is on the card too, but it’s unclear if the old rivals are facing each other. A note in the WON mentions Ricky’s trying to get in to the WWE. That’s still a tough path.

The WON also reported TripleMania had 20,000 iPPV buys. That number does not seem plausible to me, unless it’s accidentally the conventional PPV buys. There’s also a mention of the Goyito Perez situation (UFC at fault with flight issues) and a plan to have done something with Perez and Daga. I don’t know if it would been so useful for Daga going for guy trading blows with a UFC fighter to setting up furniture for Perro Aguayo and pinballing for Cibernetico – it’d better at another show where AAA can’t accidental undo what they’ve done.

Titan wants a title match with Averno because he never actually lost the title in the ring, just had it stripped from him due to injury. He’d also like to get Polvora’s mask. Titan was also the guest on this week’s Tercera Caida.

Porra Fresa’s recap of Puebla’s Monday show mentions Pegasso was put in a neck brace after taking the Skandalo Driver. That may just be emphasizing the power of the move and not an injury. Pegasso’s due on Friday’s card.

El Hijo del Santo identifies the moment lucha libre turned into a circus: the first ever 2 vs 1 handicap match in 1941. Now, eight sided rings, mixed tags and extreme matches are apparently killing the business. I think the attempt at dig of the week is claiming someone other than AAA came up with a non-four sided ring (but also he hates it, so not sure why he cares.)

LuchaWorld has KrisZ’s news update.

Lineups

CMLL (TUE) 07/02/2013 Arena Mexico
1) Molotov & Oro Jr. vs Apocalipsis & Camorra
2) Hombre Bala Jr., Soberano Jr., Súper Halcón Jr. vs Disturbio, Hijo del Signo, Nosferatu
3) Hijo del Fantasma, Sagrado, Tritón vs Misterioso Jr., Puma, Sangre Azteca
4) Bushiroad vs Virus [lightning]
5) Fuego, Rey Cometa, Stuka Jr. vs Rey Bucanero, Terrible, Tiger
6) Máscara Dorada, Titán, Valiente vs Averno, Pierroth, Volador Jr.

So close. If Pierroth was any good, the main event might be great. Lightning match could be a lot of fun, but they never air the lightning match. Semimain may be best possible match, though it’s 3 days before Fuego & Stuka have their En Busca de un Idolo match and that may play into things.

Wonder who Comandante will be with on this show. She’s been back with TRT lately after ditching them for Pierroth.
