AAA-Televisa: AAA’s preview says matches 2 (Cadetes vs Team Super Fly), the cruiserweight trios, and the Myzteziz trios will air on National, with los Angeles vs los Juniors airing only on the regional show. (No UTDN show this week; it’s listed as returning on the 17th.) Both that regional only match and the missing minis match will go up on YouTube next week. It’s so weird to get straights answers about TV situations.
The missing matches from Puebla won’t be on YouTube due to techinical issues.
== CMLL ==
No one knows when/of the Television Mexiquense show will air. I’ll keep an eye out for it but don’t plan it turning up quite yet.
FOX2: Guerrero Maya vs Niebla Roja, Revolucionarios problems, and more relevos increibles. There’s no obvious place for the En Busca de un Idolo cibernetico to air.
52MX: Copa Express, Indeseables vs Euforia/Roja/Shocker and a women’s trios. Could be as many as 6 horribly edited matches this week.
Claro: Marco, Maximo, Volador vs the Revolucionarios.
C3: Angel de Oro, Valiente, Volador vs Ephesto, Euforia, Hechicero, and Estrellita vs Zeuxis
TVC Deportes (Puebla): Not sure! They didn’t air a new episode last week, which means it could air this week – but they don’t have any schedule listed for this weekend so far. They’ve also stopped listing the schedule on the website, so there’s no telling when anything is actually on.
Lucha Azteca: Leyenda de Azul and nothing else
Terra Sunday: More Dragon Rojo problems, more Atlantida vs Kamaitachi/Okumura
== Other ==
Noches de Coliseo: Only god Mr. Nice knows – they wavered back between Tuesday and Sunday.
IWRG (LAS/AYM): last Sunday’s main event has already aired, so maybe the rest of the show will be as well? Though it’d be a shame if the Myzteziz show didn’t air.

5) La Parka & Myzteziz b Averno & Black Warrior Myzteziz might have worked as Sin Cara, but fans were chanting Mistico. It’s all the same. Tecnicos took 1/3, Mistica on Averno while Parka beat Warrior
Huge crowd for Myzteziz’s return to the building. AAA’s not really doing angles with him, becuase he just needs to show up with one of his old rivals to fill buildings this size.
AAA begins a two taping weekend tonight in Arena Xalapa. The arena has been bringing in pretty regularly of late, focusing on a Consejo versus locals feud. I’m not sure if that makes a difference or not, but it’s something to watch for with Mascara Ano & Fantasma in the semimain match. The card is generally the same as the other recent cards, with Myzteziz on top against his rivals and various less feud based matches underneath. Pentagon and Australian Suicide are on the card, which means they’ll be messing with each other’s matches. Aerostar says he’s going to be in Xalapa, so his previous injury won’t prevent him from facing his TripleMania opponents in the tercera (which looks like the best mach on the show.) The women’s opener includes Faby & Taya, so maybe there will be more information about when Taya is getting her title shot. The show will air next Saturday on TV.
Yesterday’s CMLL Informa (official version already up here) confirmed the Friday night Terra broadcasts are done for the time being. The broadcasts actually ended prior to last Friday, only CMLL and Terra didn’t tell anyone, per usual. They still didn’t plan to say anything, but Alfredo asked the question and it somehow got on air. Sunday’s show and the Wednesday Informa show will continue. (It’s worth noting here that Fredo got an answer on Facebook, and during CMLL Informa. They took answers to their trivia game primarily thru the Facebook site as well. Asking questions on Twitter isn’t going to work because the press department completely ignores Twitter.)
JCR also said CMLL would now be airing Saturdays on Television Mexiquense, a public television channel available over the air in the Mexico City area and cable systems elsewhere. It also has a video feed on their site. There’s no show listed as lucha libre on this Saturday’s schedule, and I’m unsure if that means the show doesn’t debut quite yet or if the schedule is just out of date (a fairly common issue with Mexico TV listings.) It’s possible this show could air some Fridays matches which will no longer air on Terra, but we won’t really have an idea until the first time it airs.
El Diario de Coahuila has a bio of Orquidea Negra, who turns up in Arena Coliseo Monterrey fairly often. Near the end of the interview, Orquidea claims that when he was supposed to debut (back in 1990), his parents locked him in his bathroom, did not allow him food for 15 days, and broke all his amateur wrestling trophies Seems a bit harsh.
Vocativ has a twopart video on lucha libre. They go to Tijuana (02/07/2013 show), so of course they run into Damian 666 & Bestia 666. Also, Angel Metalico nearly breaks his neck about 4:33 in the first video.
Lucha Libre in Japan
