working AAA: the Video game roster

TodoLuchas did the hard work and figured out who we’re sure is in the AAA game, based on their appearance in the trailer:
– La Parka Jr.
– Electroshock
– Konnan
– Mesias
– Cibernetico
– Octagon
– Psycho Clown
– Elegido
– Charly Manson
– Abismo Negro
– Gronda
– Ozz
– Chessman
– Super Fly
– Psicosis (II)
– Cuervo
– Zorro
– Vampiro

That’s 18. As for everyone else…

People who surely are in, because their partners are in
– Zombie Clown
– Killer Clown
– Scoria (though I don’t know feel as strongly about Espiritu)
– Histeria
– Black Abyss
– Laredo Kid
– Aerostar

People we can’t confirm, but would expect
– Latin Lover (unless he has some weird media rights issue)
– Kenzo Suzuki
– Silver King
– Jack Evans
– Teddy Hart
– Alan Stone (maybe)
– Crazy Boy
– Espiritu (maybe)
– Extreme Tiger
– Joe Lider
– Nicho
– Pimpinela

People who are possibly too minor to be in
– Decnnis
– Gran Apache
– Chris Stone
– El Brazo
– Escorpion Negro
– Mascara Divina
– Oriental (why he’s here and Crazy Boy is up there, I don’t know)
– Pasion Kristal
– Ultimo Gladiador
– Gato Eveready (I hope I’m wrong)
– Angel Mortal
– Argenis
– Billy Boy
– Gallego
– Nemesis
– Jesse
– Nygma
– Polvo de Estrellas
– Ricky
– Rio Bravo
– Tigre Cota
– Tito Santana
– Yuriko
– La Chiva
– Atomic Boy

People who are possible too recent to be in
– Alex Koslov
– Dr. Wagner Jr.
– Marco Corleone
– X-Pac
– Rocky Romero

Completely unclear
– minis?
– women?
– any ref besides Tirantes

I’ll update this post if news turns up later.

Tuesday Mexico, GDL, VdE, AAA game to US

CMLL (TUE) 06/23 Arena Mexico [ESTORecord, CMLL]
1) Principe Valiente & TruenoCaligula & Semental
2) Guerrero Maya Jr., Starman, ValienteCaligula, Hooligan, Méssala
3) Arkangel de la Muerte, Dr. X, VangelisAngel Azteca Jr., Angel de Oro, Fabian el Gitano
4) Heavy Metal, Misterioso II, VirusMascara Dorada, Mictlan, Sagrado
5) Averno, Ephesto, MephistoHijo del Fantasma, La Mascara, La Sombra

Not much of note up top, but Hijo de Ultraman, Rayo Tapatios and Carrona were all MIA from the first two matches. Maybe Caligula in the opener is actually a typo, they both start with C. Valiente worked as a fill in the segunda; outside of major shows with guys shuffled lower than usual, he hasn’t been that low since September of 2007.

CMLL (TUE) 06/23 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara [Fuego en el Ring, MT, MT]
1) Novato b Relampago
2) Metatron DCO Rafaga
3) Palacio Negro b Saturno
4) Casanova b Asesino Negro
5) Mascara Magica & Satanico b Metal Blanco & Neutron
6) Princesa Blanca b Lady Apache [MEX WOMEN]
7) Naito, Shigeo Okumura, Yujiro b Blue Panther, Toscano, Volador Jr.

Verano de Escandalo 2009 will take place on August 16 in Monterrey. That’s a month earlier than they ran the show last year, which allows them to space it out more from the Pena Memorial show.

Gamespot says the AAA video game IS coming to the US. Article loses points for misidentifying the La Parka, gains them all back by wondering if Guapito is in the game. Note that the article says late 2009 or early 2010, where we’ve heard just late 2009 up to this point.

Mistico says lucha libre wrestlers peak at 20 years in, so he does not yet consider himself an all time great.

SuperLuchas is selling Histeria and Psicosis masks.

Cesar rolls with posts looking forward to Juvi’s responce to Konnan’s latest comments, on the death of the indpendent movement, and how wrestlers need big promotions to be stars, and vice versa.

A Costa Rica paper previews the AAA show there. Tickets go from 15000 to 55000. For those who can’t convert from colonoes, that’s 26.25 to 96.25 US, or 348.84 to 1278.09 MEX. More than TripleMania?

Solar has a new website. With store! Yay, doing a website to make money, that’s actually how it’s supposed to work.

Ras de Lona #51 is mostly on the Stuka/Fantasma/Sangre/Rojo trip to Europe. Amused to see Hijo del Fantasma, while his associates were yelling in spanish at the camera, do interviews in completely fine English; he’s the guy WWE should’ve actually taken, glad they didn’t.

Lucha Libre will be in the Louvre in Paria, modeling a collection of clothes from a Mexican designer. Cassandor and Santo will be wrestling at a show Friday and Saturday to promote the collection.

Ohtani’s Jacket watches last week’s Arena Puebla, and seems to like the locals mathc baove the minis. Meanwhile, any time I have to watch lucha, I’m fighting my way thru TripleMania. I need to work a trade!

LuchaWorld has Robert on AAA 04/10/08 in Toluca and CMLL’s Record show from 05/14/08. Figure they’ll end up doing the show with them next year. Next epdition of Slamming’ Stan is tomorrow.
