The main event is the expected, but it also looks like they’ll be taking the Microman/Chamuel match here in a week or two.
CMLL will have Negro Casas, Marcela, Microman, Stigma, Templario, and Soberano on Informa today. CMLL still hasn’t announced what the plans are for the Aniversario beside it not airing live. Those announcements have come on Informa in some years.
It doesn’t feel like there’s any buzz for the Aniversario this year. CMLL’s going to be fine, the last few years have shown they can put a wide range of matches in the Aniversario spot and do OK because the show means a lot. But I wish it was a show people were excited for.
A strange La Bestia del Ring & Rush appearance, I guess to build up the ROH show on Saturday.
Goya Kong debuted in Nacion Lucha Libre last night. I haven’t seen results anywhere for that show. There are some photos on Facebook, with the building looking a little less than half full. That seems fair given the short notice and lineup.
The El Rey Network logo was conspicuously part of the rotating advertisements on the video board during AAA’s InvadingNY show. I listened to the Spanish commentary so I wasn’t expecting anyone to reference it there, but it didn’t appear anyone explained it on the English side either. It turns out the show will air, apparently complete, on the El Rey Network on 10/06 at 8 pm CT, according to programming guide data. Neither El Rey nor AAA has announced this yet. This is the same show that aired on FITE/PPV and aired on AXS; it’s a fun show but you probably already found a way to watch it.
El Rey and AAA obviously have a history with Lucha Underground. (Lucha Underground is still repeating on the network; it looped around to episode 1 this past week.) El Rey & LU investors were part of the Invading LA press conference, so that show might end up on that network too. If LU is never coming back, which appears to be the case, just airing AAA instead would give El Rey some affordable wrestling programming and AAA a US outlet. Both sides have had that option for a while though and haven’t pursued it until now. Like AXS, this may be an option for AAA to get on TV in the US but it also might just be a thing that happened and isn’t mentioned again.
AAA will have a mass for Antonio Pena on 10/03.
The former Triton picks up Laredo Kid’s booking, teaming with Hijo del Santo against Hijo del Solitario & Taurus on 10/01 in Queretaro. Triton may be switching from Rey Triton to Tritton as his post-CMLL spelling.
Vampiro says he’s off a show in Nova Scotia because he couldn’t get there from his AAA show the previous day. The show the previous day is Verano de Escandalo, which we had assumed he was on for a while. No direct flights from Orizaba to Nova Scotia.
The Indy Corner has a useful review of the Vampiro documentary.
LuchaWorld has the latest news report.
El Fantasma says he taught the Mexico City police conditioning, not self-defense. This seems a deal not about Fantasma and more about criticizing the woman who brought him in.
