Dave sez: they were actually supposed to have a new episode this weekend, but because it’s a one hour show, they’ll wait till next week (Sunday.)
Hopefully someone will figure out what taping they’re supposed to be starting with before hand. Hey, I get to be cheap again, hooray for me. I have a lot to recap again, boo for me.
Oh wow, I actually recapped a TV epsiode. Feedback – too long, too short, too many mispelled words, too few mispelled words – is always apperciated.
Oh wow [2], Dave Meltzer has been hinting all week that there’s some positive news on the New Episodes On Galavision front – his Observer preview pretty much says that it’s gonna happen, with tease of being when. So whenever that news leaks out we’ll pass it on to you, unless it’s already out there and I’m just a dope for not picking it up yet. ObNothing: I find Dave hyping it as “Annual WrestleMania issue” hilarious – what’s he saying, he’d still be doing WrestleMania issues if there’s not a WrestleMania?
Lucha times is up but I’ve totally lost track of what episode when, so all you get is times. My guess is that new episodes won’t start right away but I really know little. The Sunday show has been missable the last few weeks, an hour of AAA reruns, but last week the Saturday show was actually missed, so I guess something crappy is slightly better than nothing at all. Anyway, if they’re going to just be doing one hour shows on Sunday, my guess is that if/when updated shows return, it’ll be on Saturday. But that’s just a guess.
I should update something, somewhere…
– Sadam is Scorpio Jr, according to KrisZ. Point to me!
– Felino beat Juvi to keep his welterweight title.
– The teams for that Nuevo Guapos tag match I mentioned earlier will be Genetico/Ricky Marvin vs Tony Rivera/(Damian el) Terrible. So there goes my theory. I think we can take a good guess at the ultimate winner once we know the winner of this tag match (which will happen on 4/4, with the singles match the following week.)
– In “it’s probably only hilarous to me!” news, Shocker and Mascara Magica’s turn has led to previously unlikely cirmcustances coming true once again – Magica’s teaming up with Ultimo and Rey again on an Arena Lopez Mateos show this week. (This while they’re STILL doing Shocker/Ultimo title matches around the horn.) I guess it’s really not that hard to find a replacement for Tarzan Boy if you think…
I thought I made a post this morning but it apparenlty gotten gobbled up by the bloggerMonster.
Quick and even less wordy version
– Vamp/Shocker on 4/4 is a hair/hair match. Both are undefeated in hair matches (though obviously Shocker did lose a mask match)
– the finals of the Nuevo Guapos tournament have been decided, although a date and exact specifications are still unclear. At some point in time, two teams from Genetico, Tony Rivera, Terrible and Ricky Marvin will face off, with the winning team facing each other for the spot. I still think Marvin, but Terrible may be a better fit as a rudo.
– Giant Silva will NOT be at the big 4/4 show – getting into Mexico problems.
I don’t know why, but Universo in the sherbert colored outfit giving a thumbs up is killing me. Also, despite shooting from underneath, Black Tiger looks like a freaky midget in this shot.
The 3/21 Arena Mexico was a rather busy one. The Pierroth/Gran Markus hair match finally happened…and Pierroth won. And Veneno showed up to challenge Pierroth to a hair match. Poor Veneno. Poor never dying angle.
In news you’re more likely to care about, Black Tiger, Universo 2000 and Dr. Wagner Jr. were indeed succesful in their challenge for Atlantis/Warrior/Niebla’s CMLL Trios titles and are your new champions. Post match, Warrior turned rudo on Niebla, stripping his partner of his mask, so they’re going some place with those two. CMLL.com compares this to Shocker’s turn on Niebla in ’99, which ended up leaving Shocker with out his mask and likes Niebla’s odds in repeating.
Vampiro/Shocker will happen on 4/4.
Misc Title News: Ayako Hamada succesfully defended her WWA Women’s Title over Marcela on the 23rd (at Arena Coliseo DF). Lots and lots of titles.
The first strike against the axis of evil is tonight: Negro Casas challenges Emilio Charles for the CMLL Middleweight Title at Arena López Mateos de Tlanepantla. It is a title Emilo’s had for no particular reason and those types of titles don’t seem to changed around much, but on the other hand it is Negro so you can’t ever count him out.
In somewhat related news, Felino will be putting up his CMLL Welterweight Title (please don’t ask what the difference is) against Juventued on 3/28 at Arena Mexico. CMLL.com news guy has hopes for this singles match living up to the high standards of two other recent big singles matches at Arena Mexico: Marvin/Zumbido and Shocker/Guerrero.
As mentioned earlier, Dr. X is your new Mexican Welterweight Champion and has already recieved challenges for it from Juvi, Genetico, Arkangel and even Felino. I’m just happy they still remember it a week later.
I did end up getting massive amounts of CMLL TV and Alfredo’sGdI comp so recaps of some sort will show up again. Eventually.
