2-0. As you’d expect, they turned on Rey here again, and ripped up his tights. He’s going need new tecnico gear! I know and I’m sure Rey’s scheduled to team with various combinations of Guerreros over the next few weeks – lineups are always behind – and so we’ll see this repeat around the country. Of course, the greatest concern is Friday; Loco Max is still a Guerrero Pandilla member, last I checked.

Ovaciones suggests CMLL may do a Ultimo/Rey match as soon as next Tuesday. I hope they’re wrong. This is quite the oddly paced out angle – maximize the turn before it happens, minimize the turn when and after it happens.

Ovaciones (new) notes
– As someone – tim? Robert? – suggested, Cibernetico’s getting knee surgery and out of the ring for six months (though I suspect he’ll still be on TV), concidentally how long his suspension will last. They ran an angle with a fan attacking him and taking out his knee.
– Tickets went on sale today for Triplemania 14, on 06/18. Pena has said there will be a cage match (and we already know Cassi/Pimpi in a hair match.)

I’ll be back with a full-er update tommorow, but until then, let me point out Box Y Lucha has a transcript of it’s interview with Dos Caras and articles from the magazine (now posted in a blog format – maybe they’ll be sticking around longer?), and el Halcon is due to have a new issue tommorow; they’ve already got a teaser graphic with Terrible, Mr. Mexico, Jeque, Mascara Purpura, and Zayco, so I think it’ll get Henrik’s stamp of approval. And if you haven’t gone there already, go to rudopolis, read their stuff there, and thank them in e-mail. (Or, check out other good sites I’ve failed to plug.)

And read the wiki and help me figure out what we’re going to do with the year links!

Lucha Times

Possibly I only noticed because I Live For This, but whoever’s feeding Meltzer the info on shows on Saturdays knows what’s going on better than I, or got lucky. Galavision skipped two episodes on the Sunday show last week; the AAA recap show that was supposed to air, and the Santo/Atlatnis LdP final, and ended up on the Universo/Halloween part 1 show. They skipped the following week last time, and I suppose they will again.

Saturday: I didn’t realize there was a missing AAA episode last week till it aired – so now that they’re back on track (and still scheduling 3 hour episodes), it’ll probably be the episode I expected last week.

Sunday: Universo vs Halloween in a hair match.
