6) Cibernético vs el Hijo del Perro Aguayo
Air Date: 05/30, 06/06 and 06/13? The UTDN has to be going at least half Evolucion, if only because they have taped too much TV for it not to be. I am not prepared for a situation where I’m writing about 2 more hours of lucha libre TV a week. The AAA chart has been completely redone, going with what they’ve said about each taping instead of trying to make guesses.
KrisZ found this last night. Poster from SuperLuchas post.
Odds of that main event ending cleanly are 500000000:1.
Villano IV, the Rick Rude of 2013 lucha libre, is apparently the newest member of El Consejo. It’s a definitely a different combination to face the Psycho Circus.
There’s still no giveaways about big TripleMania matches, which means they’re probably either involving people who aren’t around (TNA, Japan, whatever) or just not big matches. Parka and Parka Negra still matched up, Fenix and Pentagon Jr. the same. Those two pairs are on the same brand post TripleMania, so this is just part way in a long run of those matches. Hope they’re good!
Jack Evans! Still in AAA! Oddly fighting tecnicos!
Lots of IWRG participation in the undercard. I believe they’ve been doing WWE-like tryouts before the shows with guys before the DF shows (and maybe other shows), and you can see which ones impressed. Whatever it takes to get Freelance vs Suicida, though I’d prefer to see Red Bird Junior. Saturno didn’t do a tryout, he’s the last QPPLC winner making his TV debut. (A 2013 QPPLC final is going to be very weird, when it turns out half the finalists are already booked on AAA TV.) Eita jumping to AAA instead of going back to Dragon Gate would be very amusing, but this is probably just an extra booking for him. There’s no real consistency with the early match guys on being tecnico or rudo. All these tapings i confusing for a person on the outside trying to make sense of it, but it sure is giving some good people some extra matches.
The Durango taping, which happens two tapings before this one, is the only announced May taping we don’t have a lineup for yet. That’ll probably turn up in the next couple of days.

Your odds about the Cibernetico and Perro match ending cleanly could just apply to any AAA main event
Whatever Happened Between AAA & TNA? http://www.tnanews.com/whatever-happened-between-aaa-tna/
Presumably Atomic Boy vs. Gran Apache mask vs. hair is fairly locked in for TripleMania?
@kurski: It’s not hard
– TNA’s not that interested in AAA wrestlers or multiple latino wrestlers. They’re just looking for one magic key of a latino act that’ll get many latino fans watching their promotion. They think Chavo & Hernandez are it right now, so there’s no hurry to get someone else new in.
– AAA wasn’t allowed to send their own guys to work promotions in the US – or they weren’t supposed to, people slip thru – because of the contract with Lucha Libre USA. That’s over now, and that’s why Mesias was able to worked the taped PPVs.
@Vamp: you can never presume in AAA. That could very well not happen or be the dark match :/
still no hints at the AAAMania card?
AAA likes to only do 6-8 matches on Triplemania. I can’t see them “wasting” one match on Atomic Boy/Gran Apache. Plus the bookers seem to be huge fans of multiple men matches. I could see a cage with Atomic Boy/Gran Apache in there with Fabi/Mari, Jennifer/Taya, Octagoncito/Mini Abismo and a pair of exoticos.
@Rob: They did do Super Fly & Super Calo vs Gran Apache & Laredo Kid not that long ago.
OTOH, that seems surreal and out of place now so maybe your point is made.
@Rob: I just hope we don’t see a spot like last year with Chessman. One of the most terrifying spots I have ever seen
@CM93: If they do a spot like that I hope they at least turn on the lights this year.
Is AAA back to taping more than 2 hours away from Mexico City?
@CM93: It does seem they’re back to their old more widespread schedule, which will only help the DF shows.
@thecubsfan: I’ve noticed that they haven’t gone to Ecatepec this year which is odd.
It’s better for the product if they begin to tape out of D.F. so good move!
