AAA #618

taped 03/03/07, aired 03/31/07

Let’s see if I can distract you with a dated AAA recap. This one was two shows before Rey de Reyes (which is in the unwatched pile – as is this week’s FSE, I know), so the last tag team tournament matches before the four way (still bored with them), Fuerza/Juvi stuff which is no further four months later, and Hijo de Tirantes screwing Abismo in what I guess was the culmination of that feud, though they didn’t make much of it.

Black Magic did nothing of note in his surprise appearance – he didn’t even strike me as so bad that you can’t bring him back, but there didn’t seem to be much special reason to do so either. Main event finish annoyed me, but that’s because they’re so not interested in finishes.

I don’t think I got donuts. There’s always tomorrow.

06/22: Mexico preview, SLP

Another slow day. Canada’s goal should’ve counted.

Quick reminder of today’s Arena Mexico card….

CMLL (FRI) 06/22 Arena Mexico
1) Super Nova & Valiente vs Polvora & Vaquero
2) Dark Angel, Lady Apache, Marcela vs Hiroka, Mima Shimoda, Princesa Sujei
3) La Mascara, Sagrado, Volador Jr. vs Averno, Ephesto, Mephisto
4) Atlantis, Tozcano, Ultimo Guerrero vs Damian 666, Villano III, Villano V
5) Blue Panther, Marco Corleone, Shocker vs Hector Garza, Lizmark Jr., Mr. Aguila

Preview: ESTO. Ovaciones still has yesterday’s edition on their site.

I’m not really sure what the issue in the main event is supposed to be. Maybe Lizmark Jr.’s return to action? (He’s only been gone a couple of weeks.) High Society/Perros is a feud, but not one they’ve worked on lately. Not that the Villanos have wowed, but at least that match is a bit hotter.

ESTO has an interview with Bucanero, hyping up his show. They go with July 20th here – it’s still 22nd in Ovaciones. ESTO does the vote plug as well, and it occurs to me now that CMLL surely is not going to be counting up the votes from a bunch of different newspapers and articles. They’re just going to tell Ultimo to be ready to work, and Atlantis and Toscano to be ready to look like you were going to work. ESTO also has a notes roundup (they’re pretending to put tickets on Ticketmaster again, starting this Tuesday) and a phone interview with Diana (who would’ve won if only not for her kidney stones and twisted ankle.) Diana’s looking for a rematch in Monterrey in August, which doesn’t leave her a lot of time to grow her hair.

AAA (WED) 06/20 Auditorio Miguel Barragan de San Luis Potosi [El Sol]
1) ?, Astro Latino, Dragon Chino ?? Principe Leon, Turbo X, X Turbo
2) Apolo Star, Centella Inca, Super AAA ?? Americo, Black Maravilla, Cosaco Loco
3) Fabi Apache, Rossy Moreno, Tiffany b Cinthia Moreno, Estrellita, Sexy Star
4) Crazy Boy, Joe Lider, Mascara Divina DQ Antifaz del Norte, Brazo de Plata Jr., Chris Stone
5) Fuerza Guerrera, Hator, Zumbido b Latin Lover, Super Astro, Tinieblas Jr.

Tineiblas subbed for Juvi. Latin Lover beat Hator for the win. In the semimain, Antifaz fouled Crazy Boy for the DQ. I think Brazo Jr. with the rudos was just a random thing – like Zumbido interfering in the women’s match. Gran Hamada made an appearance on the show.

Attendance is listed as slightly above average – disappointing, but someone credited to the previous Mistico riot.

quick note about comments

thecubsfan

If you post more than two links in any comment, my junk filter is putting it on hold, and I don’t always remember to check the hold.

99% of the spam bot posts have a three or more links on them, so the filter saves me time. But occasionally, it’ll catch posts like Chui linking to photos of Latin Lover in Merida. I should probably figure out a way to auto approve regular posters, but we don’t have it yet.
