Dorada has lost three straight weeks to three different people. I dunno. Meanwhile, Dark Angel hasn’t lost a trios match since January. The only match she’s lost since then here was that lightning match to Princesa Blanca (and Dark Angel beat her earlier in the year.)

CMLL is again pushed to 4pm this week, which means AAA is probably pushed to 5pm. Both groups keep presenting this as “a one week change”, but Televisa does not communicate with them about these things and I doubt they know any better than you and I. It’s been the new time for enough weeks that maybe we all should start assuming those are the times going forward.
My new fascination, Arena Coliseo Guadalajara’s Super Popular, finally had his photo revealed on the latest card for the arena. I thought it was strange how his mask looked very Olimpico inspired. Someone else pointed out he’s got a similar tattoo to Exodia, Olimpico’s son. Exodia debuted in 2009 and retired in 2010 after suffering a severe leg injury while wrestling in IWRG. Exodia’s only been seen once since his injury, appearing in the ring in the 2010 Anniversario show when his father was unmasked. Exodia was using a cane to get around, but still worse his mask. Perhaps that leg finally healed enough for a return (long or short – lot of people around for short times in Guadalajara lately.)
Even Atlantis doesn’t know if he’s having his mask match at the Anniversary show (or why it hasn’t just been announced yet.) Atlantis has no plans on retiring any time soon but is not thinking about the future until he gets past this mask match, and is somewhat concerned Ultimo Guerrero’s many henchman are going to try to injure him before the mask match.
IWL held a press conference from their 08/03 show, with the IWL and AULL wrestlers fighting each other before the show in AULL’s Arena Lopez Mateos. The recap mentions in passing that Impulso has left indy group XMW. A trio of Impulso, Ares and Mr. Leo had been scheduled to represent XMW in the usual trios tournament, but no XMW lucahdors will appear on the show.
Atlantis & Ultimo Guerrero are headed to Los Angeles this Sunday.

Forgot to include this, though it’s pretty much what you’d expect. I’d put the mask match last for the reasons I always think the masks matches should be last, but it’s a pretty packed show.
