Lucha Times

Satuday: If they don’t skip an episode (and they have been) it’s Part 1 of the Rey de Reyes episode. If not, it’s part 2. Both episodes have short match lists, and they stretched it two weeks with lots of footage from previous RdRs.

FWIW, it’d take us 12 weeks to catch up if they were to keep skipping every other week. I’d rather they just skip everything and go to TripleMania, but no one listens to me.

Sunday: AAA does the introduction for Magnate following the one match he will ever have. This is how AAA rolls.

FWIW, Galavision’s online lineup says they’re reruning Vuelta Monday morning 3-6a, same as they do the Saturday show. That’s not on my TiVo listings at the moment.

GdR: the main event sounds good…in theory

06/29: IWRG preview

Nothing much going on today.

Stuka Jr. vs Mascara Purpura in a lightning match (10 minutes, 1 fall) has been added to Friday’s Arena Mexico card as a sixth match. That could be quite fun or quite sad. I wonder who’s booking who dislikes undercard rudos so. I also wonder why I read guys like Satanico (as a trainer) talk about wanting guys to have ground skills and not just high flying spots, and yet they reward a guy who’s only shown high flying spots.

“Gronda” is listed on this weekend’s AAA Arena Coliseo Monterrey show. He could be back. It could be a clone, and they just ‘accidently’ omitted that. Who can say.
