Victor’s AAA 12/30 recap
– No Lucha Cruncher this week?

As noted last week, CMLL on FSE is on hiatus for a couple of weeks. It on the schedule as returning on 01/21 at the usual time. At least that’s the case in the US – is in scheduled in Mexico?

GALAUS: the Guerra de Titanes show airs, complete with Cibernetico/Muerte Ciberntica coffin match. You know, not that it’s meaningful since it’s taken me six weeks to make this connection, but isn’t it weird that the promotion that’s honoring the memory of the recently deceased Antonio Pena is doing coffin matches? I think he’d be fine with it.

CAN52: Not quite sure what they’ll show here, since theoretically, they’ve got access to everything now. I’m assuming it basically stays with the same pattern – Mexico segunda (women’s match – which give me an opening for something to talk about) and Coliseo main event – which would mean NO FABIAN.

AAA in Mexico should be onto the final part of the year in review, but maybe not because we still don’t have a next taping announced. CMLL should be showing matches from the 01/05/07 taping; Averno/Volador may be forever MIA, but you’ll get a new Averno/Mistico match. Hooray for Averno.

01/03: Coliseo, Monterrey, Tijuana, Pierroth, Crazy Boy

CMLL (TUE) 01/02 Arena Coliseo Results [elhalcon]
1) Mini Fantasy b Sombrita
2) Danger, Molotov, Sombra de Plata b Caligula, Messala, Super Comando
3) Arkangel, Canek Jr., Nitro b Fabian el Gitano, Loco Max, Starman
4) Leono, Maximo, Texano Jr. b Hijo de Pierroth, Okumura, Sangre Azteca
5) Dos Caras Jr., Hijo de Lizmark, Rey Bucanero b Black Warrior, Olimpico, Universo 2000

Bracito de Oro and Fire were missing for the opener, so they just did a singles. Loco Max worked on the tecnico side in the tercera to replace Valiente – and then turned on his partners. Mictlan was subbed out of the fourth match for Leono, and I still don’t have a full idea of what’s going on with him.

Still missing Monday’s results.

Crazy Boy is helping run a free show tonight in Tulancingo.

AAA 12/10

taped 10/22. I don’t believe I liked anything here; a swell use of three hours.

I think I’m going to catch up with this week’s episode, and then go back and get 12/16 (because it’s the only one currently sitting on my TiVo).

Random Question: anyone know when the first ever AAA show aired?
